SOCKS!

Yep, rusty... and also wondering what it feels like to have written Bowling Alone so long ago only to watch it get 10x worse.

Read this as 'Epstein' -- felt gaslit, took a full re-read

So few voices to listen to lately :( -- y'all are the few ❤️

Also, so powerful that you don't encrypt your electronic comms about the gnarly stuffs you're doing?! WTH? THAT to me is serious hubris

This gives me strong 'let's start over' / 'burn it all down' vibes. I worry so much about what has been enabled and how many had to say nothing (or actively cover it up) for it to continue. It's hard to see hope in this... but against logic, I still believe people can stand up and make a difference.

Appreciating all the f-bombs in this one. Feeling very f-bomb-y lately

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

A brain implant changed her life. Then it was removed against her will. Her case highlights why we need to enshrine neuro rights in law.

It has always, and always will, take effort and energy to have faith in humanity. Some do the work, others do not. Also, fwiw, AI does *not* do the work.

What ethics actually is Somewhere along the line, I think we have actually forgotten what ethics is. This concerns me most of all in discussions about “AI ethics”, of course, but this is only part of a larger …

@nytimes.com when everything is breaking news, breaking news is no longer breaking, it's just news.

And it felt downright refreshing to be around a completely new (to me) community of people who care deeply about education.

I am downright lifted and energized after a few days of @humanrestorationproject.orgs Conference to Restore Humanity. I am not overstating when I say it has lifted me out of a funk of despair. Thank you (though I was nervous about the Medieval themes, I am so glad I got past my nerves)!

At this point it's probably obvious to state that conferences cannot do the same things they used to. I have grown weary of loads of solo keynotes with no conversations. I crave Q&As, robust panels, wicked awesome moderators, and breakout rooms (hybrid to be assumed).

What a wonderful panel. Listening to this crew is definitely helping restore something in me-- dare I say hope?

100% true

I worry the good, lighthearted edges of the Internet are getting lost to history. Good on ya teaching your kiddo how cool we used to be LOL

Always and likewise :)

Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy!
