If you have energy to spare and interest in working for the long term well-being of the planet, take a look!
I've long admired @longnow—founded by @stewartbrand and @brianeno—and have chatted with a few of its Board members.
It's a vital organization with an essential mission—now more than ever. Let's help them find the right steward for their next chapter.

Does this mean "socializing IRL"? Or does it include "socializing online," vs. passively srcolling through others' content. Unclear both here, and the link provided to the source does not lead to the data presented in the Axios summary. Americans of all ages are spending less time socializing axios.com/2026/07/05/america…

The question is what do we want AI to do for us, not what will it's impact be:
imaginingthedigitalfuture.or…
E.G., Do we want AI to increase corporate profits or reduce working hours? It can help us predict outcome & also evaluate counterfactuals like:

interesting how company structures will change - fewer people inside, more people at the edges, facing customers, partners, suppliers..
Last week we hosted 12 senior product designers from AI labs, big tech companies, and startups to talk about how their work/roles are changing.
We heard a lot about teams getting more senior, pitching demos not memos, and subject matter expertise vs rote production skill.

Okay, friends! I finally found Norman Mailer quote I sought, H/T @internetarchive Barney Kelly: "There are dollars which buy a million’s worth of groceries, and dollars which have influence." Now I need to know who first said, "AI can simulate a storm, but it can't make it wet"?
