On Episode 9, @JessGroopman & @ecoblips challenge the global, detached nature of modern tech, arguing that #regeneration is inherently local. 🌍 What if we designed #tech locally, enabling data to flow from local to global, balancing against top-down, imposed models? 🌱

Join us this Friday for an open discussion on Regenerative Technology !

Check out this overview of the chapter I wrote in our latest book, the Fast Future Blur. It explores digital platforms and regenerative innovation.

We have economies that need to grow, whether or not they make us thrive. Now we need economies that enable us to thrive, whether or not they grow. Here's what I just wrote about it in @guardian 1/2 theguardian.com/books/articl…

I am saddened by the state of affairs of leaders shaping our future. This video is REAL. Sora's impressive capabilities suggest it may fall under the high-risk category of the #EU #AI Act. High-risk AI systems under the Act are subject to strict requirements around data governance. The market suspects that #Sora was trained on copyrighted videos without permission. Long live the IP lawyers (not yet replaced from GenAI). @Shi4Tech @FrRonconi @pierrepinna @dinisguarda @Xbond49 @BrettKing @thepsironi @FGraillot @YuHelenYu @SpirosMargaris

Happy Holidays!

COP28 is now on the verge of complete failure. The world desperately needs to phase out fossil fuels as quickly as possible, but this obsequious draft reads as if OPEC dictated it word for word. It is even worse than many had feared. It is “Of the Petrostates, By the Petrostates and For the Petrostates.” It is deeply offensive to all who have taken this process seriously. There are 24 hours left to show whose side the world is on: the side that wants to protect humanity’s future by kickstarting the orderly phase out of fossil fuels or the side of the petrostates and the leaders of the oil and gas companies that are fueling the historic climate catastrophe. In order to prevent COP28 from being the most embarrassing and dismal failure in 28 years of international climate negotiations, the final text must include clear language on phasing out fossil fuels. Anything else is a massive step backwards from where the world needs to be to truly address the climate crisis and make sure the 1.5°C goal doesn’t die in Dubai.

” . . . we need to find other sources for meaning in our lives: growing the quality of our experiences rather than our consumption, building our communities together and reconnecting with the natural world.” —Jeremy Lent @JeremyRLent

A very happy solstice to all 🌅

The third-party tracking industry is one-way mirror: from the inside, you can see only apps, web pages, ads, and yourself reflected by social media. But in the shadows behind the glass, trackers quietly take notes on nearly everything you do. eff.org/wp/behind-the-one-wa…

A rich discussion on #AI and the *moment* it is presenting for us all -- builders, investors, customers, citizens. A different lens than most dialogues on #ArtificialIntelligence these days, seeing potential for regenerative innovation.
