Not that it matters, but I'll likely be done with X/Twitter by EOY - for all the reasons.👋

I won't miss it now. I do miss the former community, the vitality of viralty, the connection to others, the stirring and momentum, Arab Spring, the invention of the #... a good run. Ciao.

@melvinhines Ugh. Such a shame.

Think the question is if I just shut it down (take my data and go home) or if I keep it open for similar use cases. I'm pretty close to the former, because I'm just not seeing the latter as nearly as much of an issue.

TREADMILL THOUGHTS Planting seeds of gratitude grows trees of thankfulness. Just like nurturing a garden, leadership requires us to water, prune, & bring our best selves to the game daily. Remember, you MUST be healthy & whole to effectively do this work. Self-care is not selfish

#Founders and company leaders: DO NOT do this (see headline 👇)!

Innovation, your customers, the world needs TRUST to succeed.

The only way to build trust is to SET expectations, then MEET/EXCEED those expectations. Repeat.

Sometimes it's hard, but customers will reward you.

@cclaytonr Or I hope so. The numbers and data seem to point this way, but maybe it's a personal bubble.

[Karl Rectanus (he/him) @karlrectanus]

@cclaytonr A shame.

On your last point, I actually think it's just a very vocal minority who will celebrate this (albeit, gerrymandered and amplified to have outsized influence).

@erinmote Thank you for your (cell) service. 🤳

Just like the X-Files to stir up a new mystery decades later and have us all questioning. Nice that this episode 👇 wrapped up with a happy ending.... mystery solved!

Tl:dr - propaganda biz employee makes false claims under false pretenses to oust competitive biz & create more propaganda.... at the expense of kids and democracy.

1. Earlier this month, a mysterious woman appeared before a school board in Texas and claimed that, when she was 11, she READ A SCHOLASTIC BOOK THAT SPARKED A DEBILITATING PORN ADDICTION.

We investigated.

And it's ABSOLUTELY WILD what is happening.

First thing I noticed as the new OpenAI board was announced was the lack of diversity - not for the "About Us" homepage, but for the organization's success... so short sighted. Addressing it quickly would be the right thing, and 👇 is right... so many qualified candidates!

[Lizelle van Vuuren @lizelle]

The @OpenAI Board reshuffle with zero women is a grave mistake and should be considered a high priority.

4 billion women on this amazing planet. Surely we can find 2 or 3 to join the epic responsibility to navigate the future of AI impacting 8 billion people.

Here are some women to consider on your Board @OpenAI:
