The Montreal Expos are exiting the baseball space. During Q2 and Q3 2026, we will transition to acquiring high-performance GPU assets. This is all part of our long-term vision to become a fully integrated GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) and AI-native cloud solutions provider.
I'm thrilled to see this work from @TechNYC + the Decoded Futures team!
We all know the social sector is trying to surf the AI wave with mixed success, but what can be done to use AI better? What role do tech companies or philanthropy have to play?
Answers in this tweet! 👇

And thanks to the leadership of our Program Director, @bethanymarz, we also have a slew of AI-generated versions of the report on our microsite 🙂

Sure, some might be abstract, but the song "We Need Money Funders Must Back AI Adoption" is a jam

No lies detected. Now to add "tech for good" to that language...
If you’re one of the sharpest minds in tech, you want to be in NYC.
We have the smartest workforce and the hottest neighborhoods. From the Brooklyn Navy Yard to SoHo, we're the city for tech: that’s why NYC attracted more tech talent than anywhere else.

The breakthrough in LLMs I see people underestimating is that, up until 2023, YOU had to learn every computer's language, even if that "language" was just learning what menu to go to in Word. Now computers speak YOUR language, however imprecise. Less computer therapy needed.

As leaders of complex system change, we should value the creation of relationships as a key outcome in its own right:
- We need to stop trying to design the solution & instead design for the conditions that enable the emergence of many solutions
- Fostering more, quality & trusted relationships is a critical enabler of that emergence.
Time spent building relationships & networks is not 'fluffy’. Rather, it's an investment in legitimacy & better outcomes. Superb piece by Bill Bannear of @ThinkPlace: medium.com/@bill.bannear/the…

I struggle with how future-framed so much tech writing is.
Will tech be a massively centralizing force of authority, money, and geopolitical power? Yes. It is. Right now.
Can that be stopped? Yes, right now.
Can we rely on powerful people who benefit from it to do so? No.
Really love this. “ChatGPT as foil” is one of my favorite design patterns so far. Interested in more use cases like this, especially in the social sector (e.g. ChatGPT grant proposals: where different from what grantees and program officers expect (or wrong) and why?)
