Electric Dreams — Tamiko Thiel on the Connection Machine
Before touchscreens dominated our technological imaginations, there was a mysterious black cube with pulsing lights that became the physical manifestation of artificial intelligence—and Thiel realized its visual story.

I'm not sure who turned my words into a meme, and included U.S. citizens (most of whom do not want a new war!), but I appreciate how many people are connecting with it.
May all of us, in all of our different situations, somehow help bring the justice this world so desperately needs. 💔

I’m at the NYC anti-Trump protest, where thousands upon thousands of people have shown up in the cold rain. I can’t see the start or end of the crowd.

People often ask what a coalition of 200,000 can do. The answer’s simple — with all our free time (since a lot of us got fired), we’re out here causing a lot of good trouble.

Why isn‘t the media emphasizing how Trump decimated the FAA before the collision, rather than repeating his obvious lies about DEI???
Trump deliberately plunged the FAA into chaos as soon as he took office. Musk pushed out the FAA Administrator so the agency was leaderless, Trump fired the entire safety advisory board. He bullied staff to accept buyouts.
Not a surprise the tower was “not normal”.
