"We critique because we care. If these companies can't release products meeting expectations of those most likely to be harmed by LLMs, then their products are not ready to serve these communities & do not deserve widespread release" me & @rajiinio https://t.co/BUB4vowTi5

My thanks to ⁦@JohnCarreyrou⁩ for stepping in live to talk about the Elizabeth Holmes verdict, and what tech can learn from #Theranos

Some trends (like CI, perhaps even CD) had a clear, positive impact on the product quality in general.

Certain other trends have questionable value prop. All these trends saw wide adoption during a 10+ year bull market, which made it harder to scrutinize their precise benefits.

Royal mail tracking is down since last Friday, perhaps even earlier 🤔

Kind of flattered that airport police stopped to ask how much cash I have on me ☺️

When I struggle I listen to this @farnamstreet episode. Enlightening. Put things in perspective. Go back to making your positive difference in the world.

E-scooters are dangerous.
E-bikes are dangerous.
Distracted walking is dangerous.
Wearing grey clothes is dangerous.
Playing with a ball is dangerous.
Jaywalking is dangerous.
Listening to music is dangerous.

Halloween is coming up and the most dangerous thing to watch out for isn’t a razor blade in your apple or poisoned candy. it’s cars

That data is amazing.

@jburnmurdoch Thanks for finding the energy to respond!

Some of the comments there made me (momentarily) lose hope for our children :(

Time to buy more Apple stock. I mean the car would've been nice, but the bike is awesome (and makes more sense)

[Roman Meliška (🦋https://happyroman.bsky.social) @happy_roman]

The story is spreading

What if Apple made an e-bike?

(combine @tim_cook’s doctrine on meaningful contribution + Apple’s future in health/wellbeing w/ all the wisdom @asymco aka Mr. Micromobility’s been sharing for years and there you roll)

HT @iboudway, a few more links in 🧵

There was a name for this stuff when tech is applied to solve every problem? What was it?
