We appreciate storytellers like Kathryn Bigelow and the House of Dynamite team for spotlighting today’s urgent nuclear threats. For the first time in 40 years, the number of nuclear weapons in the world may go up, not down. It doesn’t have to be this way though, change is possible. #AHouseOfDynamite

MIT study: 95% of GenAI implementations fail because they try to eliminate friction. The successful 5%? They design FOR it.
When integration is hard, when workflows clash, when people resist—that’s where learning happens.
