@erikbryn.bsky.socialJust absolutely sick. An army that stands by and watches as its countrymen beat up farmers and journalists. Incredible bravery by the kids and fellow journalists who rescued my former colleague Heidi Levine
Show PostImagine being a child in the hospital and looking out your window to see an entire football stadium waving at you. 🥹❤️ This is the Hawkeye Wave at the University of Iowa, a beautiful tradition since 2017 for the children at UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital. #SheShed
Show PostHi Erik. Good to see you here. Hope to see you more often. I think part of the solution is personalized AI's that aren't part of a centralized system. Emad Mostaque talks about this. You might want to touch base with him. We're already in a symbiotic relationship with tech. No turning back.
Show PostMy fear is that centralized political power will militarize embodied AI. We're seeing some impressive feats in robotics and if that becomes part of a 'peace keeping' force, we could be in for bad times. We need to have serious conversations about our path forward. Economics is a big piece of it.
Show PostErik mentioned some early signs of centralization, such as that the biggest firms' share of US retail rose from about 20% to 50%, and private equity is rolling up funeral homes and accounting firms.
