In recent years, this ideology has only grown stronger, more self-righteous, more delusional, and—in the face of rising criticism—more aggrieved. We would all do well to pay much closer attention to it: theatlantic.com/magazine/arc… (3/3)

Finally an article that describes a complex and nuanced viewpoint one should take. 👇"How to think morally about the Israel-Hamas war" by @zackbeauchamp vox.com/world-politics/23911…

I sense the left is becoming less critical of advertising, consumerism, & pop culture. I get caring more about working conditions at toy factories than how toys are sold, but we should analyze how the profit motive shapes every part of our culture & tastes currentaffairs.org/2023/08/i…

Our field is changing. Every field is changing. As a creator in the new media space, I've been waiting for tools that make things plain easy to build. Finally these tools are coming. However... 🧵 1/3

2/3: The question is: with this shift, what is the role of creators going to be? When will "Netflix" automatically generate personalized shows for every single user? Perhaps pretty soon.

3/3: I'd love to be the part of that revolution and think about ways to make it serve humanity and not isolate us. We must come up with positive examples so that others can follow.

The Metaverse will have arrived when a avatar created on an Adobe platform will be able to walk from a Facebook/Meta social space into a SteamVR game, and be viewed in AR/VR headsets from Apple, Microsoft, Vive and others.. It will be a completely open platform.

Meanwhile, the Hungarian govt spied on my friends, journalists and academics
Hungary gave the most incriminating response I've ever seen to a request for comment on the #Pegasus surveillance scandal. I mean, whenever I'm "not aware" of whether I did something or not, I demand to know if foreign spies tipped you off about it. LINK: theguardian.com/news/2021/ju…
