No matter how much you think the UN failed at maintaining a rules based order, right now we should really be trying to re-establish rules based order and institutions that support it. Unfortunately we are going down a very dark path. There’s a reason we had this, to prevent world war. Now what?

When people insist that it was just about taking down a dictator…they are showing how horribly ignorant they are of International Relation, geopolitics, and history.

The United States grabbing the leader of a foreign state should be viewed globally as an unacceptable act of aggression (war?).
We should all be worried because if they can do this, what won’t they do?

Weapons, dude. Go watch it. Avoid knowing anything about it and just experience it.

I’ve been involved in discussions on AI and often I’m asserting humanist and human-centered approach. People get distracted by the hype and the promises of ASI/AGI. But we need to move from humanist principles. Humanities people need to be at the table ever more!

Gutted by the cut to funding for US public media. I grew up on PBS and my own career and trajectory have been informed and inspired by NPR.

Responsible and Ethical AI is a topic that’s really heating up, especially in the last few weeks with AI-powered disinformation operations. I got to talk a little bit about key concepts and more here

I’ve watched lectures and listened/watched to material to familiarize myself with the ideas of Surveillance Capitalism. But finally having a book in my hands, on top of the ideas I can’t help but admire how magnificent Shoshana Zuboff’s prose is. Amazing thinker, beautiful prose stylist.

I never played Pokémon. Felt I was too old for it when it came out. But I’ve been curious. Asked a friend, if I’m a fan of stuff like Ghost of Tsushima and GTA, what’s a good entry point. I picked up Arceus and… I GET IT NOW. Having so much fun and happy to have a new fandom to get into.

Been looking at the possibility of video games costing 80USD. Honestly, we are paying very little for games vis-a-vis the dev costs of most games, especially AAA. And for the enjoyment and value we get, the cost we pay is pretty fair and a price increase is understandable. HOWEVER

For all they I enjoyed The Accountant 2, I just have to say, there was much more accounting in the first film.

When people call a TV show or movie “slow” does it actually have a problem with pacing, or are they judging it based on TikTok-speed/attention and cuts?

I normally don’t read my own work. But a story I wrote 20 years ago was re-published so I thought to try. I cringed at myself and how I thought “that was good.” At the end of it though I stepped away kinda proud of my young self. Like good job for doing that you were pretty good at that age.

I made a 90s playlist for a young friend (in her mid-20s). I realize the time gap would be the same as someone handing me a Beatles tape in the 90s. Oh my back and knees.

I quit as podcast CEO October last year. But I’ve missed talking, interviewing, connecting in that way. I’ve had the immense pleasure of guesting on pods (thanks to Stanley Chi, Elbert Or, and Myrza Sison). And I guess this is a green light. Invite me on! I’ll talk AI, pop culture, bball, anything!

Needing to be online to play certain games is frustrating. 1) sometimes net dies and you lose progress 2) sometimes you want to bring the device out and just play —ahem switch— 3) it’s these forced cloud saves and other features you don’t necessarily need. I might be old gamer yelling at clouds
