At university graduation ceremonies this spring, commencement speakers have been getting booed for championing AI, given how the technology might threaten their job prospects.

In a commencement speech at Bard College last week, I delivered a more hopeful message — that humans can do essential things that computers simply can’t. Here are some highlights from that speech:

The Midwestern Exodus Is Finally Ending #RiseOfRest @WSJ: “It’s a question we always get, being a startup—why aren’t you in San Francisco? We can be within driving proximity of just thousands of potential customers.”

The Mile High City has a way of putting peak performance into perspective.

Earlier this month, we gathered the Rise of the Rest portfolio in #DenverCO to dig into what it looks like in practice. Here's the view from 5,280 feet 🧵

For 3 years running, @carbon_robotics makes @CNBC's shortlist of Disruptors.

The company's LaserWeeder & Autonomous Tractor products are helping today's farmers automate back-breaking fieldwork, produce healthier crops, and eliminate the need for herbicides in the process — exactly the kind of AI application we get excited about at @Revolution.

[Carbon Robotics @carbon_robotics]

Today, we were named to the @CNBC #Disruptor50 list for the third consecutive year — recognizing the fastest-growing and most innovative private companies transforming industries through technology.

This year, Carbon Robotics ranked number 22 alongside companies like Anduril, Anthropic, and OpenAI.

We’re proud to be leading the way in physical AI for agriculture, helping farmers reduce chemical herbicide use while improving profitability and operational efficiency.

Ted Turner was a hero to me and a generation of founders. I first met him when I was a young entrepreneur in my 20s, and his boldness in reimagining media and sports inspired my own journey.

A relentless trailblazer, he combined extraordinary vision with the courage to act, leaving a lasting mark on business, culture, and public life.

His legacy endures not only in what he built, but in the energy, conviction, and generosity he brought to the causes and communities he cared about most.

Ted Turner, the billionaire media entrepreneur and philanthropist who launched the 24-hour cable TV news revolution when he founded CNN in 1980, has died. He was 87. https://t.co/CboJPpPBiC

Extended interview: Former Nebraska senator Ben Sasse has metastatic pancreatic cancer. He spoke with 60 Minutes' Scott Pelley about where America has been and where it could still go.

[60 Minutes @60Minutes]

Former Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse was told he had months to live after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in December. Sasse credits "providence, prayer, and a miracle drug" with extending his life.

Watch Sasse's interview with Scott Pelley, Sunday on 60 Minutes.

[Hoover Institution @HooverInst]

In December 2025, former US Senator @BenSasse announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. That's the primary topic for this @UncKnowledge conversation about mortality, faith, and what truly matters when time is short.

Talking to host @P_M_Robinson, Sasse reflects on "redeeming the time"—holding ambition lightly, loving family more deliberately, and resisting the urge to make politics or professional success the center of life.

The discussion also covers Sasse's thoughts on the failures of Congress; the dangers of a fragmented, attention-starved republic; the crisis of higher education; and the moral challenges of technological abundance.

He speaks candidly and movingly about regret, forgiveness, prayer, and suffering—arguing that while death is a real enemy, it does not get the final word. Watch the full conversation on X:

“In a world that’s increasingly digital, how do we build real community with real people and connect them to real places?”

That question, posed on the Skift Global Forum 2025 stage by Steve Case, Chairman and CEO, Revolution (and AOL Founder), captures the heart of what travel means in this new era.

As industries decentralize and opportunity spreads beyond traditional hubs like New York and Silicon Valley, travel becomes more than movement - it becomes connection. A way to bring people together, strengthen communities, and create shared experiences rooted in place.

At Skift Global Forum 2026, we’ll gather the leaders shaping what comes next: a future where travel is a powerful force for belonging, collaboration, and real-world impact.

Join us in September - and be part of the community building the future of travel: https://t.co/xZDBKagwfM

Silicon Valley became what it is today, at least in part, because of dense local capital networks.

Today, more states are working toward building their own. Our latest @RiseOfRest report examines how frequently investors back homegrown startups and how that local foundation shapes where innovation takes hold. https://t.co/mhgCtNlfOQ

At the same time, hub gravity is real. California is the top deal destination for many states.

Still, proximity shapes outcomes: in 18 states, venture deals flow first to home, and in most others, local markets remain among the most invested. https://t.co/vxyzhOJgs6

[Rise of the Rest @RiseOfRest]

Some states lean in harder.

Kentucky, Michigan, Indiana, Utah, Missouri, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania post higher shares of deals with in-state investor participation, keeping more capital cycling within their local ecosystems. https://t.co/vxyzhOJgs6
