This piece by @Peggynoonannyc really resonates with me, especially when leaving the US and looking back at two weeks in California and Oregon with my two boys. The US is full of kind, helpful and generous people. And yes, going to a @Target store is an experience. Not only for the selection (who would have known there are so many different sorts of Goldfish crackers?) but also for the staff who always take the time to help and seem to know by heart where everything is located. 🇺🇸🇸🇪
Many memorable passages e.g., ”The best work always happens on the borders, where ideas are forever trapped between coming and going, explored by strangers in strange lands, insiders and outsiders at the same time. But that’s what makes us so powerful. It keeps our perspectives unique, and frees us to challenge the status quo.”
Not being a technologist, I was not sure what to expect when starting ’The Worlds I See’ by @drfeifei. It was a great read - the history of AI masterfully crafted into a fascinating life story.
It would be interesting to hear Chris elaborate on how a financial system truly built on stablecoin/blockchain technology could look like. How would (if could?) the large incumbent banks/intermediaries adapt? Could current regulations on e.g., capital requirements still work? What about changes to the retirement savings/asset management industry? Thanks!
Looking back to a productive week with one of the highlights being my discussion with @adamtuyenle at @PEI_news Nexus conference. Link to interview here: https://t.co/mOPus7z40c
@arpans Agree. When in town, I try to find the time to visit my favourites: Posman Books on Boylston St, Boston and Books inc in Town and Country Village, Palo Alto
@pmarca By chance, I picked up and read ’The Philosopher of Palo Alto’ about Mark Weiser. It would be interesting to hear you putting his ideas on ubiquitous computing into context with today’s developments of AI
We have the privilege to again celebrate Fourth of July with close friends in Oregon - and again, being reminded of the beauty and greatness of this country 🇺🇸🇸🇪
