On Kurt Vonnegut’s birthday, these words among many that influenced my life, I fondly reflect upon:

“A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.”
— From “The Sirens of Titan” (1959)

@GavinNewsom @ezraklein Here is an opportunity for the abundance agenda. Fix the incentives of public utilities like @PGE4Me and @SCE.

A crazy statistic I read today: LADWP delays are responsible for an AVERAGE OF EIGHT MONTHS of additional construction time for apartment buildings requiring an underground installation

We had about 2k trick-or-treaters walk up to our house. We live in Oakland, CA. The graciousness, humor and care of the community was in full bloom.

[Hayden @the_transit_guy]

The country is so unwalkable that we literally just trick-or-treat with cars in parking lots.

@pandemona I had so much hope.

[J Lewis @interJL]

I’ll be honest. I can understand how AI will change the world. I have no idea how humans got thumbs.

Printers are back!!

The dominant use-case for AI in my house for the first day of summer is making custom coloring sheets.

It’s taking creative inspiration and using digital to make something physical. Next step is a full tabletop game.

OH from my kids:

“That puppy has no drip.”

[J Lewis @interJL]

Freedom and abundance is the right AI narrative.

[J Lewis @interJL]

I’m sick and tired of the AI narrative that is doom and gloom. The reality is that we have an epidemic of loneliness and depression, and an entire generation that coined the term “quiet quitting” as they ran into the dearth of meaning in corporate America.

[J Lewis @interJL]

AI gives us way more time to spend on activities that build human connection. AI allows everyone to be an entrepreneur. AI can shift our economy from exploiting leverage and scale towards one of inspired creativity and craft.

Jonny Ive joining OpenAI means that Sam Altman believes AI will be differentiated in the taste of the experience, not the capabilities of the AI.

It’s amazing how many people and years have been spent on Ads mgmt UX, yet all are universally hard to use in different ways.

@finkd’s vision of replacing the marketer <> ad platform interface with AI is compelling for every PM spent time trying to replicate Excel in UI.

@ow Bought it. Thank you for the tip. Can’t wait to build some custom apps for this.

[sara beykpour @pandemona]

Particle is a new app using AI to organize and summarize the news https://t.co/55vbJ829pG

Demonstrated ability to build software should be a pre-requisite for hiring a PM today.

With no-code and AI-assisted tools, anyone intent on building products should have side-projects to show strategic thinking and design choices.

PMs should be evaluated on portfolios.

Happiness comes from progress. Therefore, happiness requires struggle.
