@walterkirn How do have time for this with the Hantavirus running rampant? 😁

@walterkirn In the attention economy, they want………. (drumroll) your attention

@walterkirn Why would you want to disintermediate OpenAI's goblin-obsessed Codex model 🙃

[Mike Morris @mikeymo]

Walter - enjoyed your off-the-cuff remarks and always interesting insights. We didn’t get a chance to meet personally, but it was a well attended event and I’m not one to jockey for position just to shake hands ;)

Hope the Twain House visit went well - it’s an absolutely perfect New England day for it!

@walterkirn As I get older, I’ll take intuition over raw intelligence and/or pure logic any day of the week. There is something about us that can’t be reduced to computation or simple probability.

@UConnMBB Worked out well for Paige and Azzi - Solo is going to be amazing in 2027-2028!

People change jobs all the time and it has nothing to do with lack of confidence or unwillingness to put in effort. They want to put themselves in new situations that challenge them and give them the best chance to succeed. I really think he will excel at a top 30 school and hope he finds a program where he can do that.

My favorite part of ATW was the “book club”. It nudged me to read authors I probably never would have consciously chosen - but wow, just some great writing and insights. It seems many coalesced around the theme of industrialization and the anxiety that brought with it.

I initially thought they were prescient in their thoughts, but now think they were experiencing them in the moment like all of us - it’s just the rate of change that has accelerated. With you two tying it all back to current and/or recent events - it was amazing!

Maybe you and @mtaibbi start slow again and bring that back once a month. That keeps Racket grounded in journalism and you two riffing off one another as a separate concern.

It’ll be hybrid from this point forward…… skewing towards latter as time progresses. You could argue pacemakers, artificial joints etc were just part of the same progression, but now it’ll be the cognitive upgrades. There is literally is no way to stop it - individuals can opt out, but humankind won’t.

[Mike Morris @mikeymo]

Just an unbelievable comeback….. this is why you play the whole game! Go Huskies!! @UConnMBB

ICE IN HIS VEINS 🥶

UCONN. WHAT A COMEBACK.

[Mike Morris @mikeymo]

@walterkirn Looking forward to it - enjoyed your event at Fairfield U a short while ago!

[Mike Morris @mikeymo]

@GovNedLamont @CTSotS @LGSusanB Makes no sense….. why is having to show an ID to vote so controversial? There are so many issues and challenges that are complicated - this is NOT one of them.

[Mike Morris @mikeymo]

@BCMBB Huge congratulations @CoachLukeMurray and can’t wait to see how you rebuild that program. But first, Go Huskies!!

[Mike Morris @mikeymo]

@walterkirn Maybe a proximity effect similar to when Roger Bannister broke the 4-minute mile. The bar is immediately raised and the realm of what’s possible widens.

[Mike Morris @mikeymo]

@walterkirn I don’t think it’s that philosophical. It’s always to extract as much money, from as many people and/or companies as possible. The “fooling” is just a byproduct of th effort - same as ever.

[Mike Morris @mikeymo]

@walterkirn Totally agree - but doing this in a traditional, rigid (and costly) university setting makes zero sense any more IMO.

[Mike Morris @mikeymo]

@walterkirn You don’t need to major in English to read literature , write well or think critically.

[Mike Morris @mikeymo]

@mamboitaliano__ @elonmusk Disagree ~ the pictures you share of real places really resonate with me. This plastic stuff impresses me from an engineering mindset, but not a creative or authentic one. But, I’m relatively old and more opinionated now 😊

[Mike Morris @mikeymo]

@JuliaEMcCoy There’s no better way to learn “how to think” than to write an essay - more of that.
