bridging humanity and technology

@nikitabier live it

@WillManidis many parallels to Karma yoga, where Krishna tells Arjuna you have a right to your work but not to your fruits

[Kavan Desai @kavand]

@pushmeet @demishassabis simulation as in it’s all programmable, and with consciousness, we realize that we can be the programmers

[Monologue @usemonologue]

Keyboards are so 1983.

You only need one key—Monokey, the limited edition device that turns your voice into text in Monologue.

We're giving away 10, along with a free annual subscription to Monologue.

Packy, dropping Gita bombs, chapter and verse! My father is a Gita scholar and drilled this one into me. I can't say I live it fully all the time, but that is my work to complete in this life. When we tap into Consciousness, we no longer become the doer - the will of the world flows through us, and the work becomes the reward as we merge with something larger, and the Creator and created become one ... the original singularity. Thanks for the reminder!

@IllusionOfLife, @kevinafischer, and @okpasquale are building the technology kids actually need: interactive storytelling that turns them into creators, not consumers. They're meeting kids where they are and showing them what meaningful engagement with technology looks like.

As we create AI systems that mimic biology, we partake in the creative process that brings us closer to the Creator

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #AI to cultivate moral discernment as a fundamental part of their work—to develop systems that reflect justice, solidarity, and a genuine reverence for life.

Men are almost 4× more likely to die by suicide than women. 1 in 5 men in their 30s live with their parents.

@profgalloway's Notes on Being a Man documents the crisis: lonely, broke men losing purpose when they're not economically viable.

I'm wondering if there's a connection here.

America has about 500,000 unfilled manufacturing jobs—many in Detroit, Pittsburgh, Buffalo. Robotics manufacturing, battery production, semiconductor fabrication in regions that need revival.

Could re-industrialization help address what Galloway describes? Genuine work, economic viability, places and people rising together?

Curious what others think.

When the moon tries to outshine the sun, illusion arises. Your ego becomes a problem only when it claims the light as its own. Tonight's full moon reminds us: the moon doesn't generate light, it reflects it. The ego isn't the problem—it's the reflective surface that makes consciousness visible in darkness. Without the moon, the night stays black. 🌕✨

@tomowenmorgan Truth

[Kavan Desai @kavand]

@packyM Love this. If AI can take on more of the linear work, maybe it frees us to expand consciousness, connect more deeply, and coordinate toward reducing suffering. Weird idea, or maybe not.

@david_perell Loved Ted Turner reading his autobiography - wouldn't want to experience it any other way

[Kavan Desai @kavand]

I took @Opinion’s AI-dentity quiz. My AI-dentity is the Pragmatist. What’s yours? https://t.co/6TCZmbYu2P

[Kavan Desai @kavand]

@WillManidis Echoes @andrewrsorkin in his new book 1929; "speculation is the twin of innovation"

[Kavan Desai @kavand]

@packyM Love the tunes, dope.

[Kavan Desai @kavand]

@moseskagan @WillManidis Heard @StanMcChrystal speak earlier this week about a mandatory year of service to simultaneously combat our reality and create a shared unifying experience

[Kavan Desai @kavand]

@WillManidis amen

[Kavan Desai @kavand]

AI feels closer to Jobs’ “bicycle for the mind” than social media’s treadmill

[Kavan Desai @kavand]

@WillManidis very aprapos on this first day of Navratri
