#Brand safety.

The text in French reads: As we wait for the #climate emergency to be treated as an emergency, who’s looking after the kids?

And yes — there’s a reason #Champagne glasses have those long stems. A reliable IQ-and-culture indicator bleeding through this page.

Thanks, Pier.

Yes, but not only, I think. I'd say a larger concentric circle is the distraction eating everything. Push notifications et al. Entire neuro-armies work to kill our brains.

Also, how about audiobooks? I'll look into that. I've read a ton during my 10-15K runs and washing the dishes.

Why no one talks about existential #AGI risk? Shouldn’t we be worried about all of us dying? Or becoming well-fed pets in a locked-down zoo?

An excellent table by Dan Faggella, summing up the #HomoSapiens population of the planet.

So you’re struggling to finance your #feature #film. Or buy a “pro” camera. Or just a MacBook to type a novel. Or pay rent. Maybe just fix that gnawing tooth-ache?

How about an AC, now that +40℃ is the new normal?

Then you see how much we spend on bombing each other.

#Actions = real priorities.

- Tests?
- Uhm…
- Deploy?
- Sure…

(For the non-French — Doctolib is a de facto monopolist interface to book a medical consultation. One of those French Touch unico… is it, really?)

Already today, #entertainment is digital — Netflix, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, OF. Solitary, seamless, and instantly gratifying. 9,99 per month. Now imagine adding an #LLM tailored to your personal data (like OpenAI’s custom instructions):

Where are we at? Where are _you_ at?

Robert Kegan and William Torbert’s research into why #adults stop learning and changing upon entering the workforce. The main reason?

Ever wondered about the heart-rate accuracy of the cheapest #AppleWatch compared to a medical-grade ECG chest strap? I did: github.com/Anatoly-IVAN...

Results? Surprisingly close.

“We and our 1 574 partners value your #privacy.”

I mean, why not 5 000 cookies? 10 000 trackers? Would 50 000 increase my privacy value? Sounds legit.

A few of humanity’s attempts at explaining #consciousness… Which ones have you explored so far? 🤪

From “A landscape of consciousness: Toward a taxonomy of explanations and implications” by Robert Lawrence Kuhn, which lists and overviews the following (with a handy graphic by Alex Gomez-Marin)

Today, as we negotiate with our yesterdays to craft and forge our tomorrows’, let us both be reminded and remind ourselves that today is only today, and tomorrow will cannot be today until tomorrow becomes today.

Unburdened.

Taylor Swift ranked as the 8th best #guitarist of the past 20 years.

Anyone used Odoo? The European roots, Open Source ( github.com/odoo/odoo ), modularity, EU accounting compliance are all appealing…

Quick questions to the audience: What is in the picture? What is that glowing stuff called? What are its main characteristics you find most fascinating? Why does it emit light?

Wait, the Asics Magic Speed’s designers cut the outsole to expose the foam right at the point of initial contact with the ground for any serious efficient runner (forefoot strike, high cadence…)?! Why? 😮

A typical American full-time college student spends less than 3 hours per day on all education-related activities. 😮

Most work a side-job to study.

Plus, college has become a very expensive social club.

2300 exhibitors stretching beyond the horizon of 100000 m² hosting 1500 #CNC machines and more tools to invent, mill, bend, weld, bolt and transform materials into something smart and useful. Global Industrie Paris #GI24 — a creative counterpoint to a global trend of destruction.

Do you like progress charts, project timelines and maps? Illustrations of karma, later called Newton’s third law, that kind of basic stuff, right in front of our eyes?

“The fastest growing sector of the #culture economy is #distraction. Or call it scrolling or swiping or wasting time or whatever you want. But it’s not art or entertainment, just ceaseless activity.

The key is that each stimulus only lasts a few seconds, and must be repeated.

It’s a huge business, and will soon be larger than arts and entertainment combined.” — excellent analysis by Ted Gioia.

Now, how much have _you_ been participating in this new “business”? Do you know why?

Effect of exercise for depression: systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Run and dance. Both can be done alone.

Electronic music is perfect for that, by the way… audiences would dance to the music in our film Kvadrat.

Meaning and its impact on life.

On my #run back through Bastille, I’ve noticed a #homeless man walking in #Nike’s #marathon “supershoes”, the Alphafly 2. Someone had upgraded to the €310 version 3 — available since January — and thrown out the barely used pair.
