#Greenland is more than real estate and geopolitics — it’s a place of extraordinary beauty, importance and remarkable people. I visited in 2014 for a climate event and am now releasing my photos as CC-BY to support journalists and independent storytellers.

My message at Davos next week:
When facts fracture and narratives collide, when nature bites back, when trust between governments breaks overnight and global sentiment feels like quicksand… the boldest acts of global leadership will be planetary awareness.

The amount of Earth observation satellites now orbiting the planet could offer us a shared planetary intelligence, if their data is harnessed correctly.

What if AI is neither as good nor bad, AND much simpler, to understand. Selling a balanced view is harder, digesting complexity into simplicity even more.

I had this random idea to create a compression algorithm that skips words that an AI can deterministically predict, both exactly or similar ones.
3 minutes later with Gemini.
Famous texts, or sections, compress to ZERO size (memorization), and always better than zip.

One of the hardest 10min talks I've given. Not just because I managed to close it paraphrasing the poet Rumi, but because I decided to live my words that "data doesn't change the world, stories do". So it's just me, telling a story. A story of #AIforEarth www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

I'm not sure instant messaging is a good thing anymore. Since I've deleted Whatsapp I sometimes miss easily connecting with family and friends, but mostly feel more relaxed and focused. Some friction helps quality.

Mobile-first became cloud-first... which aligns with SaaS and ads-based Internet. What if we did local-first? Would you pay more for apps that don't need internet (but can sync and collaborate)?. E.g. Obsidian, Git, Desktop email apps, ... localfirstweb.dev
