Complexity appears to be progress until it becomes fragile. I prioritize flow over form, robustness, clarity, and human agency.

Just updated my #iPhone 13 Pro to an iPhone 17.
This is the first time I have not chosen the #Pro variant.
Based on my use case, it’s more than sufficient.
We have hit visual limits on resolution of screen & camera, more does not equal more function, just more cost.

Session, Proton, Vivaldi & BlueSky Teams need to form a coalition.
Session is a Swiss Foundation, knows the pathway other entities & communities should follow.
#LinusTorvalds would be someone to seek guidance from.

Observation:
The use of #SocialMedia as a weapon, takes on a new form with the advent of #AI. The micro harvesting of personal meta data, is trivial.
Companies are building and storing personas. This is not bad until unauthorized leaks or requests happen, without consent or approval. Think #Ring.

The world has the catch phrase #SaveThePlanet

The planet 🌎 does not need saving, it will do just fine. #Human and other #species need saving.
Action:
A zealot approach to “saving the planet” is counter productive, the real challenge is saving #mankind from itself.

Unlocking your car with a Mobile Phone or Watch, it’s just an iteration of old technology wrapped up in hype. It’s like moving from mechanical key 🔑 to a FOB.
It’s just a car, moves you from Point A to Point B.

“The Brave New World is here” was not a warning about gadgets; it was a warning about technogopoly, when those who own the rails of reality claim the right to script your behaviour in the future tense.

In #Banking, they have the Know your Customer (KYC) protocol.
In the world of digital communications, we need to move to a personal version of Know your Caller (KYC).
Don’t assume the incoming callers and messages are legitimate, especially Telco provisioned Voice/Messaging.

Scott,
The big question, I have for you.
How do we encourage large entities to move their primary communications channel to an AT Protocol based architecture, for example #BlueSky?
While at the same time dropping #X, #Threads #InstaGram and #FaceBook?

Some fun facts about #Musk and technology.
1) The human heart 🫀 can not sustain long travel or living in low gravity and/or vacuum. The heart is a vortex and requires both gravity & pressure to operate
2) The ability to dissipate heat in a vacuum (space), is thermodynamically not feasible at scale

Tech layers create abundance, but also hidden coupling: less slack, more cascades. That’s the Fragility Equation; fragility rises with convex harm + coupling + complexity, and falls with reserves.
