The biggest problem in tech isn’t lack of problems to solve, or products to build.
There’s plenty to do.
It’s the stranglehold a small cadre of uber-wealthy VCs hold over funding, and, in particular, the fact they’re all delusional narcissists living in a world composed of self-flattering lies.

Opportunity from one of the most sussed society & AI experts put there. Responsible industry should snap it up.
And, in the meantime! If you're interested in using tech in ways that makes the world less awful, I may as well do some slightly half-hearted marketing for this AI Impacts 101 course in Feb lu.ma/lpet76u5

This is interesting. It actually makes you listen :) It falls apart a bit as you move away from the original recommendation but I like it.
Orbit is a new music discovery experiment from the BBC to help you find new music from unsigned UK artists. My team has been designing and building this for the last 6 months. It only takes a few minutes and you'll probably find something good... bbc.co.uk/orbitmusic

a friend shared this essay on the decontextualization of communist and anti-fascist monuments for the sake of clickbait, and I think it’s incredibly important. if you’ve ever shared images of the various Spomeniks in Yugoslavia, this is a must read:
