not sure who to attribute this to – there is NO reason any of us should have to "thrive in a fast paced environment" or "work well under pressure." most of our daily work is not an emergency and our culture of fake urgency and immediacy just to make more profit for people in the c-suite is burning people out.
stop sending people into fight or flight and expecting them to bend over backward because you dont know how plan or manage resources properly
Farewell Ingenuity! You had an incredible run (flights?) and I can't wait to see what comes next. #mars #ingenuity #spacehelicopter #space

"Thereâs a lot of disagreement over how soon the artificial general intelligence moment will arrive. Microsoft researchers say theyâve already seen âsparksâ of AGI in GPT-4 (Microsoft owns 49% of OpenAI). Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says AGI will arrive in just two to three years. DeepMind co-founder Shane Legg predicts that there is a 50% chance AGI will arrive by 2028."
Can I too pull numbers out of my behind & predict the 2nd coming, and get taken seriously?

Folks remembering #AaronSwartz today – remember that he was moving publicly-funded research out from behind a paywall.
Then remember the only reason the case went forward is because federal prosecutors, specifically Carmen Ortiz and Stephen Heymann, wanted to make an example of him.
âTheft is theft, and it doesnât matter if you use a crowbar or a computerâ were Heymannâs words at the time.
Notice how federal prosecutors arenât bullying Sam Altman for the wholesale theft of content network-wide, to build a machine that spews bullshit and further destroys our ability to determine the truth?
Itâs because heâs doing it for private profit, while Aaron worked for the public good.
Never let yourself be tricked into believing the legal system is a justice system.

Where is the internet? Part of the answer lies with about 500 undersea cables that stretch across the oceans. I wrote about them, a story that links colonial history and sharks to sabotage and geopolitics. https://www.forkingpaths.co/p/the-hidden-world-of-undersea-cables
Vaughn is drinking a Guinness Draught 0.0 at Guinness Open Gate Brewery & Barrel House
I am drinking Guinness Draught 0.0 by Guinness at Guinness Open Gate Brewery & Barrel House in Halethorpe.
Name: Guinness Draught 0.0
Brewery: Guinness
Style: Non-Alcoholic Beer – Porter / Stout
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 0%
IBU: 28
Brewer’s Notes: To create Guinness 0.0, the St Jamesâs Gate brewers start by brewing Guinness exactly as they always have, using the same natural ingredients; water, barley, hops and yeast; before gently removing the alcohol through a cold filtration method. The cold filtration process allows the alcohol to be filtered out without presenting thermal stress to the beer, protecting the integrity of its taste and character. The brewers then carefully blend and balance the flavours to ensure the distinctive flavour profile and taste characteristics of Guinness.
The resulting product is a stout that is unmistakably Guinness, just without the alcohol, featuring the same dark, ruby red liquid and creamy head, hints of chocolate and coffee.
