Can’t beat a long weekend in BC with good friends.

10 years in VR/AR taught me the power of patience, community & connection. I helped build a global hub, saw lives changed, and still believe this tech will be second nature one day.

It’s not hype. It’s just not instant.

Still watching. Still believing.

Not everyone will like you.
Some will twist your story.
Smile to your face, talk behind your back.
It’s not about you, it’s about disruption.
People project. Let them.

“You’ll never be criticized by someone doing more than you.” — Denzel

Protect your peace. Build anyway.

“AI will be ten times bigger and ten times faster than the Industrial Revolution.” — Demis Hassabis, DeepMind CEO & Nobel winner.

AGI is near. The upside: breakthroughs, abundance, discovery.

The risk: disruption, power imbalance, existential stakes.

Are you ready?

In a tech revolution, it’s not the innovation alone that matters, it’s the people, the collisions, the clarity of what’s next. Vancity Innovation House wasn’t just the talk of Web Summit Vancouver. It was a shift.
A global movement, born in Vancouver.

Microsoft’s new AI-powered medical tool just diagnosed complex medical cases with over 4x the accuracy of human doctors, 80% vs. 20%.

AI will catch what future doctors miss.

Epic!

Frontier Collective @frontierco.bsky.social · Jun 17

Day 1 of Beyond the Frontier NYC at @newlabglobal.bsky.social was electric. In a city where attention is hard to earn, we built a room full of real trust, bold ideas & momentum.
From AI ethics to mobility to cognitive tech—this wasn't just talk. We started building the future, together.

Still riding the high from the first-ever #SXSWLondon. Our fireside wasn’t just about AI—it was about building bold ecosystems for an age of urgency.
If we build with outdated models, we risk losing the human edge. Innovation must be intentional, connected, and brave.

It’s not just the skyline. It’s the energy.
NYC doesn’t ask for permission—it builds, breaks, and begins again.
That’s why we chose it for Beyond the Frontier.

We’re plugging into the heartbeat of reinvention.

Canada’s at an inflection point.
At #NACOSummit in Ottawa, our CEO @dburgar.bsky.social called it out:
We need to be less Canadian in our mindset.
More bold. More global. More urgent.
The world isn’t waiting — and neither should we.
Let’s build like the future depends on it.

Is this the future — or a nightmare?

Cluely’s viral AI glasses “coach” you through dates in real time. The glasses aren’t real (yet), but the AI is.

If we’re not careful, we risk outsourcing curiosity, vulnerability, and human connection.
Where do we draw the line?

Dan Burgar @dburgar.bsky.social · Apr 29

Congrats @MarkJCarney — time to steer Canada back on course. 🇨🇦

We love this city — and we mourn with it today.
