Another fun exercise to think through: what are the things that your incident responders are most likely going to struggle with during the next high-severity incident?

several forms of gender dysphoria are curable with safe drugs and surgeries. modern treatments are wildly cheaper than the outcomes of making people live with it. the solution is simple. make medically advised treatments for gender dysphoria free to everyone

If your goal is to never have the same incident twice, then congratulations, you’ve already achieved it! On the other hand, if your goal is to get better at dealing with incidents, you’re going to need a different strategy for retrospecting on your past incidents.

I'm very much on board with the new Superman, having watched the newest trailer. I've heard the problem with any Superman film is that they always look fantastic as trailers but fall apart as a full length movie (fair). I just love what Superman represents.

The best time to remind someone that they've made a positive impact on your life is right now. Let them know they matter, let them know they made a difference, and most of all let them know you love them.

Controversial, but I think 2009-2012 was the sweet spot for Twitter. It went down all the time but we still all wanted to be on it. Extremely few folks with huge followings. Just talking about the sandwich we ate that day, being kinda weird.

A site that keeps a running log of all the dumb ideas people are using AI for, like a monument to your stupid ideas stemming from "Well, we gotta put AI somewhere in our product!"

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

You know what I wish the more human-centered tech conferences would do right now? Open up special tickets and speaking slots for scientists whose work is getting axed and whose fields are being obliterated right now.

This, btw, is one reason I am deeeeeply suspicious of LLMs and other machine learning being thrown out there to “find your root cause” of system anomalies.

Potential 🔥 take: the fact that you’d make a different judgement call now doesn’t mean the original decision was bad. Decisions are made in context, with the information and constraints and signals available then. Judgement is a timestamped event and the past didn’t have your present
