I've lived in D.C. for the better part of two decades. Nearly my whole adult life. Something folks aren't talking about--a giant elephant in the room--is the amount of "brand protection" going on right now.
I don't mean fear of Trump or political persecution, although those can overlap.

Today: On how all the normalizing is about (in part) fear of facing the grief & loss that this moment demands.
But people have been up against harder, and faced it down.
This is new terrain, but we can do this.
It's time for you to become the leader you seek.
We must figure this out together.

Quick reminder that if you see a product that looks like it was designed for profoundly lazy people, do NOT make fun of it because its likely the original intention was to help disabled people and it is being mass marketed to lower production costs by volume.

Current estimates say that every prompt you give a generative "AI" system— not each session, every PROMPT— is like pouring a 16 oz bottle of water onto the ground.
This is a fact that goes somewhere in every talk i give, now, & i always see audience members looking it up… and then looking horrified

Annoyed by articles that go into great detail about what companies say they're doing with so-called "A.I." but do not ask what companies are doing about the technology's ecological impact.
