the doomsday clock moved today. it is now 89 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been.

two important things to keep in mind: 1) when we're already this close, every second matters

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

“Bluey” is deservedly popular because it is so good. If I was the creator I would let it go to my head and walk around talking about how I has revolutionized parenting. Then I would become a cult leader

Saw this on my feed yesterday - it’s a graphic that I researched for Scientific American back in 2017. In it, @unamandita.bsky.social did a masterful job communicating complexity to readers.

Seeing it take on new relevancy in our current times is disheartening, but I’m glad it’s been helpful.
If anyone happens to need it this week for...reasons...this is the best graphic on the complexity of human sex determination I've ever seen. I use it in an undergrad course on gene regulatory mechanisms. Shoutout to @unamandita.bsky.social!

Simone Weil wrote “Imaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. Imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating.” I think about this truth a lot.

Same goes for any creative work. If you want people to appreciate your work you yourself should be the first in line by giving it the space and attention it deserves.
i feel like you should be allowed to talk about & promote your book for at least as long as it took you to write it

Been thinking about how social media subtly rewires our thinking. Not in the obvious, ‘we spend too much time here’ way, but in how it normalizes the extremes, dulls nuance, and reshapes culture. It's wild to watch, unsettling to feel, and hard to ignore.

i avoid commenting on celebrity passings due to the parasociality of the thing but David Lynch was an artist’s artist and a reminder to never explain yourself (when you don’t want to). one of the greatest filmmakers to ever do it.

To steer clear of politics is, in itself, a deeply political act which can influence the social and political landscape as profoundly as active participation. Now we see why : )
in retrospect, one of the funniest headlines of all time

I’ve always dreamed of my first client meeting going like this: I ask, 'What’s your problem?' They tell me. I say, 'Wow, I’d love that problem, so interesting!' Then I casually add, 'I also have this problem,' and suddenly it’s less consulting, more group therapy.
Not codesign as in 'would you like the button to be blue or green, before I sell the product back to you,' but

Design Justice as in 'what problem do you need to solve or what asset do you want to leverage, let's build it together, and the community will own it '

Starting the new year on this fresh platform, and so glad I browsed the timeline without anything bothering me. Here's to peaceful scrolling, new beginnings and blue skys!
