I mean, if Elon Musk wanted Parler, I’m sure he could have gotten the real thing for a lot less than 43 billion…

A photograph of a purple-ish anemone in a shallow tide pool. Its little tentacles are tipped white. There are a few smaller versions of the same anemone attached to the rock around it.

And a heads up everyone, I definitely turned this off on my parent’s TV last year but it was BACK this year. Software updates may turn it back on. Sinister.

It’s such a great honor to be invited to speak at IAAPA!

I attended my first IAAPA back in 2017, been participating on discussions since 2018, and I have…

Gregg (and Dana Ware and Alexandre Teodoresco 🎪) thanks so much for the sober and real talk about the challenges of creating experiences in virtual spaces (I won’t say the M word). As you all mentioned the distribution network isn’t there yet and it is key that any experience created in a virtual space be accessible by any device…headset, mobile, laptop, etc.

I also can’t thank you enough for addressing failure. Too many of these talks gloss over the hard part and only celebrate the end result. All of the lessons (and reasons for success) come from the failure along the way and we should never shy away from talking about it.

Looking forward to what you all do in the near future.

A fundamental narrative failure of everyone talking about OpenAI as the company that wants to build safe AI is that their literal claim to fame is rushing to ship ChatGPT based on a technology which Google invented but thought was too unsafe to ship.

This is a company focused on shipping generative AI tech as quickly as possible and capturing as many customers as possible before competitors catch up.

They are AI doomers mainly to slow down the industry not themselves.
