“You meet with a Facebook person and you see in their eyes they’re psychotic. The Apple person kind of listens but then does what it wants to do. The Google person honestly thinks what they’re doing is the best thing.” theverge.com/23711172/google…

A pitch for humility about AI, @random_walker to @WillOremus:

Left out of #inMemoriam: Topol, Anne Heche, Charlbi Dean Kriek (from Triangle of Sadness), Tom Sizemore, Cindy Williams, Paul Sorvino, Lisa Marie Presley and TV actors like #lesliejordan. Isn't there someone on #Oscars staff who checks all this stuff up to the last minute?

I really enjoyed talking with @debs about what the early days of building and being on Flickr was like. Interesting how distant that feels, and how much we (or maybe I?) long for it. #nostalgiaisntALLbad
We can learn a lot from the early Web days.
Read @debs' look back at the Web 1.0 + 2.0 heyday in this week's newsletter.

I hadn't realized how much of a wild west the self-driving vehicles business is. For example, there are no federal restrictions on the testing of autonomous vehicles on public roads.

A few years ago, I wrote this Medium piece about the tension between true community + scale, plus beliefs I'd come to after over a decade working in this still niche space.
I probably get an email about this piece most weeks.

Acts of kindness shouldn't be described as random. They aren't arbitrary or unintentional. They stem from deeply held values or strongly felt emotions.
Helping is an expression of care. It's a decision that someone's well-being matters to you—and an effort to matter to them.

All joking aside, this event was really meaningful. To see so many different kinds of Jews at the White House celebrating Hannukah was overwhelming and necessary after a year like this.

.@jeffjarvis @dangillmor Sorry to use you without asking first, but I feel this is a break-glass moment. We probably have about 2 weeks to make people navigate this cross-roads before we get run over by another train. I’m worried.

“Care is everything that we do to maintain, continue & repair ‘our world’ so that we can live in it as well as possible. That work includes our bodies, our selves, & our environment, all of which we seek to interweave in a complex, life-sustaining web.”

Sounds like a great idea, but our research this week shows that not only do you not have the resources, but you’re also not prioritizing what’s needed to make good on this… We suggest you read on. 🧵

A timely reminder that no company lives forever.

Glad to see we're not the only ones starting to reckon with how much of our shared cultural heritage we could lose if our big content platforms go down. See @techreview on history of trying to archive Twitter: technologyreview.com/2022/11…
