Great column on the importance of not just focusing on avoiding AI risks but also defining a positive vision for AI. "We know what we fear A.I. will do to us. But what do we hope it will do for us?"

Great episode on the power of cooperation and stories, liberalism, the risks and benefits of AI and more. I really like Harari's liberty-equality-fraternity test for political systems.

This article is so good. And so overdue.

“I have been exploring the deepening relationship so many people have with their A.I.s. The protean nature of these systems mean they are never just one thing, but among the many things they are is the one McLuhan warned of: an extension of our self in a material that is not our self.” #AIEthics

We Didn’t Ask for This Internet.

since reading her book a few years ago, i think about Priya Parker’s work nearly once a week. an instruction manual that goes far beyond antidotes for your social life—it’s about our political and spiritual lives too. this episode with @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social made my heart and brain light up.

Really great chat about the importance of “other” in our lives. We need to hang out with friends, others, share space more - for our overall health. That’s what bump n grind is about.

1/6 I’ve listened to a lot of Ezra Klein, but his recent conversation with Priya Parker might be one of his very best. It’s about something we almost never treat as political, even though it’s the core of politics: how we gather, host and live together. The very nucleus of politics.

This episode is such a relief from the relentless news cycle but also incredibly timely because it reaffirms the power of real-world human interactions and teaches us how to train that muscle

Here’s a podcast that does a good job of laying out what’s at stake, and why all of us need to get off the sidelines to demand change.

"It was a bracing speech, but more than that, it was a brave act. It was the kind of act that Trumpism suggests does not exist, the kind of act that rebuts Trumpism by simply existing."

“The world is built on relationships, not leverage, and relationships are built on reciprocity and respect. It is not Trump’s genius to recognize America’s unused strength; it is his blindness to see that our strength was a function of our restraint.” Must read from @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social

President Trump flipping off an autoworker is just the latest insult after a long line of broken promises to American workers and manufacturing communities.

“What is to you the ‘rage economy’?” @jamestalarico.bsky.social: “The billionaires own the algorithms and the news networks....They are selling us conflict right into our bloodstream, and they’re calling it connection. And I think it’s left people starving for actual community.”
