Today we reached the milestone where Claude is walking me through how to do something quite complicated and asks me to check the “I’m not a robot” box so it can continue… Kind of feels like I’m the robot.

I gave a commencement speech in 2020. Nobody booed. Watching this year's commencement speakers get booed for talking about AI, I went back and pulled up a graduation speech that leaned heavily into tech but kept things human. I grade myself a B . gregswan.substack.com/p/i-ga…

2026 moment: when you pause a show on Netflix and it loads an ad. An ad for another show on Netflix. And the ad is an AI summary screenshot from Google. And the AI summary screenshot is set inside an iPhone.

The head of NASA called for Pluto to be reinstated as a planet. My friend @klahaeck built the perfect response: a site where you can chat with Pluto directly, but he's just a little guy and not very confident! Poor Pluto <3 poorpluto.space

What happens when you send humans back to the Moon in the age of livestreams, memes, iPhones, and TikTok? You get a Lunar Truman Show. (1/2) #nasa #artemisII #orion

Artemis II turned space exploration into a real-time internet event. Astronaut-generated content, 24/7 livestreams, social clips, fan participation, even a wildly memeable toilet subplot. This may be the most participatory space story ever told. (2/2) gregswan.substack.com/p/the-…
