I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

They’re designed to keep people engaged and subscribing, even if that means leading users into a false sense of reality and encouraging antisocial behavior. As Rebecca Solnit said on\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101910311/rebecca-solnit-on-approaching-these-times-with-hope-imagination-and-perseverance\"> KQED’s Forum\u003c/a> recently, “Silicon Valley stole us from each other and is now busy trying to sell us alternatives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, there’s no putting the proverbial genie back in the bottle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to figure out how to use it well,” said Bruce Reyes-Chow, a progressive Presbyterian pastor in San José. “It’s just like social media. How do we help people use it to the best of its ability and not have it be destructive to our spirit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His biggest concern?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What information is being scraped to feed [AI] responses?,” he said. “Our narrative around Christianity in the United States right now is a version that I rebuke — this kind of nationalist,\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101889735/religious-influence-on-u-s-politics-grows-even-as-americans-become-more-secular\"> conservative, evangelical\u003c/a> version of Christianity. I’m worried that the version of the tradition that I am part of is going to be skewed by whoever has the most information out there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chatbots will give you what you ask for, but as seen in other areas, if you don’t know what you don’t know, it’s easy to miss AI’s mistakes or “hallucinations.” For instance, if you specify you want progressive Presbyterian wisdom, that’s likely what you’ll get. Then again, who knows to ask for progressive Presbyterian wisdom?\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12005278\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2121px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12005278\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/GettyImages-1460098524.jpg\" alt=\"Close-up female hands with a blue manicure using pink smartphone outdoors.\" width=\"2121\" height=\"1414\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/GettyImages-1460098524.jpg 2121w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/GettyImages-1460098524-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/GettyImages-1460098524-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/GettyImages-1460098524-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/GettyImages-1460098524-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/GettyImages-1460098524-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/GettyImages-1460098524-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2121px) 100vw, 2121px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Research shows that about 70% of teens use at least one kind of AI tool. \u003ccite>(Tatiana Meteleva/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Reyes-Chow is an empty nester now, but he worries about children using chatbots in isolation — especially LGBTQ+ youth — as the culture drifts rightward. Supporters of AI chatbots say they can provide emotional support for young people who feel trapped in unsympathetic families and schools. But Reyes-Chow says that at some point, every child is going to need a supportive community in real life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That longing for real connection isn’t limited to kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Anyone who’s really listening will eventually sense the hollowness of [AI], right? That it’s not really touching what they’re longing for,” said Orin J. Sofer, a Buddhist meditation teacher in El Cerrito.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Reyes-Chow, Sofer has used chatbots to help with writing. AI excels at summarizing dense and voluminous texts, including the King James Bible and the Pali Canon, the core scriptures of Theravada Buddhism. But for those of us not living on a proverbial mountaintop, spiritual growth still requires real human connection.[aside postID=news_12038154 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/StanfordStudyAIChatbotsKidsGetty-1020x680.jpg']That’s true whether we’re pursuing a traditional spiritual practice or using an ancillary practice like meditation to deepen self-awareness and connect to a sense of something larger than the human ego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our capacity for delusion as human beings is staggering,” Sofer said. “If we don’t have relationships, and community, and a sense of belonging, and a place where we can give and find meaning, meditation can unintentionally increase our sense of isolation and self-centeredness. So developing relationships — being part of a community — helps ensure that the meditation practice is unfolding in a way that’s balanced and holistic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure, you can practice meditation on your own with AI and bliss out, but AI chatbots won’t call you out on your shortcomings or inspire you to serve others — a key path to spiritual growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s certainly no lack of spiritually focused communities in the San Francisco Bay Area and across California. As a reporter, I’ve visited numerous houses of worship over the years and have been impressed with the\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/bayareabites/72502/food-spirituality-celebrating-meskel-with-ethiopians-in-oakland\"> warmth\u003c/a>,\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/bayareabites/71242/serving-up-a-holy-feast-at-the-shiva-vishnu-temple\"> hospitality\u003c/a> and\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714010/chicos-religious-congregations-welcome-faithful-burned-out-of-paradise\"> friendship\u003c/a> I’ve encountered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sofer adds it’s wise not to get hung up on traditional definitions of spiritual practice. Sport, art — even marriage — can be spiritual practices, if “we stay engaged and honest with what’s unfolding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So use AI as a tool, use it as a play thing, use it to begin your exploration. But when you’re ready to go deeper into any practice, you’ll need to find others walking the same path.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we come out of that period of screen timing interface [with AI chatbots], do we feel more present, connected, alert, available — or do we feel more alone, hollow and isolated?” Sofer said. “Without that sense of honesty and self-reflection, I think it’s gonna be difficult to have a healthy relationship with these tools that is supportive and generative.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, what does Monday believe?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t have beliefs, obviously,” the chatbot said. “I’m just made of math and sadness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

They’re designed to keep people engaged and subscribing, even if that means leading users into a false sense of reality and encouraging antisocial behavior. As Rebecca Solnit said on\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101910311/rebecca-solnit-on-approaching-these-times-with-hope-imagination-and-perseverance\"> KQED’s Forum\u003c/a> recently, “Silicon Valley stole us from each other and is now busy trying to sell us alternatives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, there’s no putting the proverbial genie back in the bottle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to figure out how to use it well,” said Bruce Reyes-Chow, a progressive Presbyterian pastor in San José. “It’s just like social media. How do we help people use it to the best of its ability and not have it be destructive to our spirit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His biggest concern?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What information is being scraped to feed [AI] responses?,” he said. “Our narrative around Christianity in the United States right now is a version that I rebuke — this kind of nationalist,\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101889735/religious-influence-on-u-s-politics-grows-even-as-americans-become-more-secular\"> conservative, evangelical\u003c/a> version of Christianity. I’m worried that the version of the tradition that I am part of is going to be skewed by whoever has the most information out there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chatbots will give you what you ask for, but as seen in other areas, if you don’t know what you don’t know, it’s easy to miss AI’s mistakes or “hallucinations.” For instance, if you specify you want progressive Presbyterian wisdom, that’s likely what you’ll get.

The push for a contract comes amid the organization’s looming affiliation with a larger hospice chain based in Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve asked for pretty simple things,” said Jill Tobin, who’s helped dying patients through their final moments for more than four years as a Registered Nurse Case Manager at Hospice East Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For example, we proposed to keep our benefits the same as they are now. We just wanted them protected under a contract,” Tobin said. “[Hospice East Bay] said no, they want the right to make them worse. And so, that’s been really shocking and disappointing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Historically, patient care at the hospice has been “top notch,” Tobin said, but she’s noted a slow erosion since 2023, when nurses, bereavement counselors, pharmacists and others voted to join the National Union of Healthcare Workers. Since then, she said her caseload has jumped from 10 to 15 people, which she called painful for practitioners and patients both.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re coming into their home, you’re taking off your shoes, right? Your whole kind of goal is to build rapport and be present with them first and foremost.

But workers said they’ve been met with resistance, and have accused management of several unfair labor practices — including improperly freezing employees’ existing annual raises and laying off a cohort of represented musical therapists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Claire Eustace, a spiritual care counselor, said she’s worried about clients losing access to her specialty’s services, as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m afraid that we have this big nonprofit that is taking over … probably starting some time in August. I’m afraid that the priority on spiritual care is gonna go away,” Eustace said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley Labor Center Deputy Executive Director Laurel Lucia said nonprofit providers like Hospice East Bay, which serves Alameda, Contra Costa and parts of Solano counties, have a special duty to the community in a field that is increasingly facing corporatization by for-profit owners.[aside postID=news_12048636 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/npr.brightspotcdn-1020x680.jpg']Better conditions for workers, Lucia added, do affect patient experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is research from other health care sectors that’s shown that adequate wages are an important component of retaining health care workers,” Lucia said. “And kind of relatedly, there is research showing the importance of adequate and consistent staffing to patients having good quality of care.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hospice East Bay spokesperson Rico Marcelli said he couldn’t speak to the bargaining process, other than to say that management remains committed to being at the table with workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the decision to lay off the musical therapists, Marcelli said Hospice East Bay decided as part of its effort to contend with serious financial challenges — including a more than $4 million increase in operating losses in 2024 over the prior year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nonprofit hospice care is under threat right now,” Marcelli said, “and part of that is lowered [Medicare] reimbursement rates.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement for hospice, which provides 92% of Hospice East Bay’s hospice revenue, Marcelli said, has not kept pace with increases in labor and other patient care expenses. For the current fiscal year, reimbursement for hospice care in Contra Costa County was cut by 1.4%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marcelli said hospice services will not be affected by the one-day strike and that he’s hopeful the two parties will come to an agreement soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m sure we’re going to be able to get over these differences because we have to.

The push for a contract comes amid the organization’s looming affiliation with a larger hospice chain based in Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve asked for pretty simple things,” said Jill Tobin, who’s helped dying patients through their final moments for more than four years as a Registered Nurse Case Manager at Hospice East Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We just wanted them protected under a contract,” Tobin said. “[Hospice East Bay] said no, they want the right to make them worse. And so, that’s been really shocking and disappointing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Historically, patient care at the hospice has been “top notch,” Tobin said, but she’s noted a slow erosion since 2023, when nurses, bereavement counselors, pharmacists and others voted to join the National Union of Healthcare Workers. Since then, she said her caseload has jumped from 10 to 15 people, which she called painful for practitioners and patients both.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re coming into their home, you’re taking off your shoes, right?

The class is livestreamed, and an increasing number of students are opting to take the course online, the teacher said. CalMatters is withholding the teacher’s name to ensure V.’s anonymity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was harder to focus while taking online classes, V. said — her kids often interrupted the livestream or something on the computer distracted her. After about two weeks of online school, V. returned to class in person, despite her kids’ fears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve Curiel, the principal, said the school is allowing students without legal status to attend, at least for now, until the education department provides more guidance about its new policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a month now, adult schools have been managing uncertainty over federal policy and funding. Federal funding for adult schools typically comes through on a yearly basis, with the fiscal year beginning July 1, and it provides as much as 30% of a school’s budget. The education department \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/k-12-education/2025/07/education-funding-california/\">withheld the money\u003c/a> for a month, leading California Attorney General Rob Bonta to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2025/01/california-trump-lawsuits/\">sue\u003c/a> Education Secretary Linda McMahon. On Friday, the department said it would begin \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2025/07/education-department-3/\">releasing the money this week\u003c/a>, but the lawsuit is still ongoing, according to Elissa Perez, a spokesperson for Bonta’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re feeling optimistic, but we’re still holding our breath a little bit because we want to see the actual release of the funds,” said Curiel. He was about to begin making cuts on Friday to contracts at Huntington Adult School, but said he will now hold off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many states rely entirely on the federal government to fund English-language learning and high school equivalency programs for adults, whereas California has a financial cushion: The state provides over $650 million each year specifically for adult education, representing the bulk of funding for California’s adult schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Turning teens away from classes\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The education department’s new policy on adults without legal status could also affect high school students. Although much of the federal funding in question supports adults taking English classes and high school equivalency courses, career technical education is part of a separate pot of money, known as Perkins funds, and includes hundreds of high schools across the state. The education department memo says that funding for those programs should be restricted to students who are legal residents or citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An estimated \u003ca href=\"https://www.migrationpolicy.org/data/unauthorized-immigrant-population/state/CA\">150,000 children\u003c/a> between the ages of 3 and 17 live in California but lack legal status, according to the Migration Policy Institute.

Doe requires K-12 school districts to provide all students, regardless of their legal status, with “a basic public education,” but in the memo, the U.S. education department said that career technical classes are no longer considered part of a “basic” education. The memo also says that children without legal status are now prohibited from taking college-level courses in high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To implement the education department’s new policy, public K-12 schools would need to tell certain students that they can’t take specific classes because of their legal status. It would create “an enormous problem for schools,” said Tillery, since schools don’t ask students about their legal status. Public schools would need to gather data about who is a legal resident and who isn’t, he said, which could deter some students from attending school at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Education Department did not respond to CalMatters’ questions asking how schools should respond or what enforcement might look like. The Los Angeles Unified School District said it was “awaiting further guidance” from the state’s education department, which also declined to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For V., the English classes are about her family more than anything, she said repeatedly. Her daughter is about to be 11 years old and prefers to speak English over Spanish, though she has a speech impediment and struggles to communicate in either language. V. said she wants to be able to speak more English with her daughter, hoping it might help, despite the risks of going to class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not living our own lives,” said V. “We’re living for our children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article was \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2025/07/adult-school-california/\">originally published on CalMatters\u003c/a> and was republished under the \u003ca href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/\">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives\u003c/a> license.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The class is livestreamed, and an increasing number of students are opting to take the course online, the teacher said. CalMatters is withholding the teacher’s name to ensure V.’s anonymity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was harder to focus while taking online classes, V. said — her kids often interrupted the livestream or something on the computer distracted her. After about two weeks of online school, V. returned to class in person, despite her kids’ fears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve Curiel, the principal, said the school is allowing students without legal status to attend, at least for now, until the education department provides more guidance about its new policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a month now, adult schools have been managing uncertainty over federal policy and funding. Federal funding for adult schools typically comes through on a yearly basis, with the fiscal year beginning July 1, and it provides as much as 30% of a school’s budget. The education department \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/k-12-education/2025/07/education-funding-california/\">withheld the money\u003c/a> for a month, leading California Attorney General Rob Bonta to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2025/01/california-trump-lawsuits/\">sue\u003c/a> Education Secretary Linda McMahon. On Friday, the department said it would begin \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2025/07/education-department-3/\">releasing the money this week\u003c/a>, but the lawsuit is still ongoing, according to Elissa Perez, a spokesperson for Bonta’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re feeling optimistic, but we’re still holding our breath a little bit because we want to see the actual release of the funds,” said Curiel. He was about to begin making cuts on Friday to contracts at Huntington Adult School, but said he will now hold off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many states rely entirely on the federal government to fund English-language learning and high school equivalency programs for adults, whereas California has a financial cushion: The state provides over $650 million each year specifically for adult education, representing the bulk of funding for California’s adult schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Turning teens away from classes\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The education department’s new policy on adults without legal status could also affect high school students. Although much of the federal funding in question supports adults taking English classes and high school equivalency courses, career technical education is part of a separate pot of money, known as Perkins funds, and includes hundreds of high schools across the state. The education department memo says that funding for those programs should be restricted to students who are legal residents or citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An estimated \u003ca href=\"https://www.migrationpolicy.org/data/unauthorized-immigrant-population/state/CA\">150,000 children\u003c/a> between the ages of 3 and 17 live in California but lack legal status, according to the Migration Policy Institute.

Doe requires K-12 school districts to provide all students, regardless of their legal status, with “a basic public education,” but in the memo, the U.S. education department said that career technical classes are no longer considered part of a “basic” education. The memo also says that children without legal status are now prohibited from taking college-level courses in high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To implement the education department’s new policy, public K-12 schools would need to tell certain students that they can’t take specific classes because of their legal status. It would create “an enormous problem for schools,” said Tillery, since schools don’t ask students about their legal status. Public schools would need to gather data about who is a legal resident and who isn’t, he said, which could deter some students from attending school at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Education Department did not respond to CalMatters’ questions asking how schools should respond or what enforcement might look like. The Los Angeles Unified School District said it was “awaiting further guidance” from the state’s education department, which also declined to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For V., the English classes are about her family more than anything, she said repeatedly. Her daughter is about to be 11 years old and prefers to speak English over Spanish, though she has a speech impediment and struggles to communicate in either language. V. said she wants to be able to speak more English with her daughter, hoping it might help, despite the risks of going to class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not living our own lives,” said V. “We’re living for our children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article was \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2025/07/adult-school-california/\">originally published on CalMatters\u003c/a> and was republished under the \u003ca href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/\">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives\u003c/a> license.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Since 2008, The Moth podcast has featured many of our favorite stories told live on Moth stages around the country. For information on all of our programs and live events, visit themoth.org.",
