I am a husband and project manager with strong opinions about many things, and weak opinions about even more things. I was also a Graph Advocate.

BREAKING: No, ChatGPT did not “help the shooter kill kids.” The lawsuit DOES NOT allege that. Here’s what the actual claims say (not the exaggerated clickbait you’re parroting): ✔️ The moderation system flagged concerning comments for human review. ✔️ OpenAI employees recognized imminent risk and recommended alerting authorities. ✔️ Leadership chose not to escalate to police. ✔️ The only response taken was banning one account, which didn’t prevent the shooter from creating another. Nowhere does the complaint say: 💥 “AI encouraged or taught the shooter to kill.” 💥 “AI was her partner in crime.” 💥 “AI gave her the plan.” That’s you making up a story, not the plaintiffs. So let’s cut the nonsense: If you want to criticize OpenAI’s choices, fine, do it with the actual text in front of you, but don’t pretend a lawsuit is alleging something it isn’t just to score PR points for Grok or yourself. Facts matter. Reality matters. Truth matters. Stop repeating unverified spin.

Learning doesn't happen on any platform or in a place, it happens in the mind. Wrestle and struggle with your own thoughts.

All this “debate” about President Trump’s early actions in office are really revealing the laziness of average people on all sides of the issues. No one is doing the reading or reasoning. Just flinging shit at each other. There’s blood on every hand. Get off your mountaintop.

CNN's Harry Enten gushes over Trump: "This is big league. This is a sign that the American people, at least initially, like what they're seeing."

You can only clip about a minute, but this whole section of his talk is a great reminder of how long this has been an issue and how special it is that we now have a chance to decentralize knowledge.

The Graph presents a compelling alternative to the current online landscape: It prioritizes long-term incentives & fosters a community built on shared ownership. This approach can lead to a more sustainable & collaborative digital future. 7/8

Okay team, let’s use this calm before the storm to set intentions. No matter how crazy things get, we stay focused on the prize. Decentralizing human coordination and transforming how civilization works. Real world use cases. We got this 👩‍🚀
