I wrote a too-long post on designing better hackathons. I love hackathons and I'll keep going, but it pains me when they are really poorly designed.

Most Hackathons Are Poorly Designed. Here's What the Good Ones Get Right.
I've attended a lot of hackathons over the past year and a half. They're a great way to explore new technology, meet interesting people, and test your skills under pressure.

Another good conversation with Tristian Harris, has me thinking about the challenge and application of foresight. (the convo gets better half way through, once he effectively cuts down the interviewer's inane belief in techno-utopian abundance)

"It felt like an unspoken request or comradely offer to chow down on mutual feelings of outrage, shame, and pity... I found the move memorably weird, like the conversation had been invaded by flying ActBlue spam." Ugh, yes, very good language for it. Can relate

Whoever does the creative direction for the Dumbo NYC BID has got some funky flair... The horse voice coming out of the construction cone Christmas tree gives me Beetlejuice vibes. Also, seems like the "tree" itself might be a pirate radio tower? 🤷♀️🤔

Someone I know who's in a fragile mental state post-breakup shared how they're using ChatGPT to work through it. Their approach sounded dubious. I suggested at least trying mental health specific AI bots, none of which I have tried, so not sure how good they are. What would you do?

Is there a term for our tendency to be spooked by our own creations and mistakenly attribute powerful properties to them that they most certainly do not have? Seems like AI might just be the most recent instance of this.
