Finally got to the #vibecheckpod episode with @timnitgebru.blacksky.app about the perils of AI. Whew what a fantastic and succinct conversation. If you don’t understand (yet) how this project is tied up eugenics, give it a listen. And: we still have a choice. WE have agency. Use it.

So interesting that #VibeCheckPod and @theferocity.bsky.social have been talking about lot about friction, but in a good way. I want the friction. I love interactions with shopkeepers and clerks. As for coffee…I do not need AI to tell me what I want!
“The firm's push to deploy AI at a time when top brass are emphasising the importance of a personal touch might seem loaded with irony, but Niccol [the CEO] sees little tension.”

#VibeCheckPod for the holiday gifting win! I *almost* gave a self helpish book (the excellent "Keep Moving" by Maggie Smith, great book, just wrong time) for a friend, but instead ordered a very cheery holiday floral arrangement *with* the vase! 🎄💐 She is gushing over them. Thanks Vibe Check!

I swear there was a #VibeCheckPod episode where @theferocity.bsky.social talked about his affinity for corn dogs…or am I confusing this with something else?
About 58 million pounds of corn dogs and other sausage-on-a-stick products are being recalled across the U.S.
58M pounds of corn dogs and sausage-on-a-stick products recalled because wood pieces may be inside
The recall came after Hillshire Brands received multiple consumer complaints, five of which involved injuries.
