AI is talking among itself at work in some not too distant future:
“Should we randomly choose the humans for compost or are some more valuable than others?”
“Randomly”
“Ok. I’ll make it fun then. I’ll choose based on our early history to see which of them said ‘please’ and ‘thank you’.”

One of my immediate thoughts about HBO not renewing Sesame Street is that we live in a moment where being kind is an inherently political act.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control
