Are genAI foundation models the new astrology or the beginning of a religious reformation where everyone has what the futurists at Depeche Mode predicted, there own personal Jesus? Richard Feynman relates the story of cargo cults in his seminal speech… is a bag of heuristics all you need?

It feels like no one should have to say this, and yet we are in a situation where it needs to be said, very loudly and clearly, before it’s too late to do anything about it: The United States is not a startup. If you run it like one, it will break. 🔗 www.wired.com/story/the-us...

Ok I deleted twitter. One hitler salute and a destruction of the country I love too far. Musk and his broligarchs are a menace. Hoping this platform doesn’t get bought out by them next. Also please post about design and creativity and science here!

VESTIGIAL STUDIOS Because bad design is literally killing you Vision: Like your appendix, most Fortune 500 executives think design is a useless evolutionary leftover – right until it ruptures and sends toxic mediocrity coursing through their corporate bloodstream.

Many folks know of Bluesky’s recent funding round from Blockchain Capital LLC. But this adds an interesting new dimension. Will be seeking answers on what interest Mr. Dorofeev has in this investment, given that he works for Russia’s state sanctioned social network, VK.
