All of us on X reading AI news… meanwhile everyone on LinkedIn and IG still don’t even know who Dario is.

Overnight success isn’t real. It’s just the moment when your career becomes visible to everyone else.

Even the pope wants you to finish that screenplay
Dear writers, we need your imagination, your narrative creativity and your lively thinking. We need these to create spaces of freedom and authenticity, within which divine grace can make the promise of consolation and peace resound. vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

Ted Turner, founder of CNN, died today at 87. nytimes.com/2026/05/06/busin… Most obituaries will focus on his enormous impact on the media world, but I'd also note that he revolutionized philanthropy. Before him, rich people gave to museums, universities, churches. They spent more money buying paintings of women than actually helping women or girls. And then in 1997, Ted changed that almost by accident in a speech. "I was on my way to New York to make the speech,” Ted recalled to me later. “I just thought, what am I going to say?” So, to make the speech interesting, he announced he was going to give $1 billion to the UN to fight global poverty. (Here's the piece where he described how he made that gift: nytimes.com/2012/12/27/opini… ) That started a competition among tycoons to be more philanthropic and led many more to try to help the needy. He made giving cool, and he saved countless lives. RIP, Ted Turner, and thanks for all you did.

Most people I know in AI think the median person is screwed, and they have no idea what to do about it.
I spent the last 3 months talking to dozens of researchers, economists, and policy experts about AI's impact on work; including reps from every frontier lab and several Congressional offices. Unfortunately, I was not reassured.
The AI industry is raising the alarm, but can't change course. These companies' core business model relies on the disruption they are warning about: their faith in full automation only makes them go faster.
Policymakers are waking up, but still paralyzed by data and debates. Econ wonks disagree on plenty, but even the limited scenario looks like a "painful transition" that will disempower millions of workers.
But an "underclass" is not inevitable, but rather a societal choice — and one we can and should stop. Instead of waiting for impact, we should start planning now to support workers through AI disruption. Whether policymakers can assuage concerns about economic security may determine if we get to reap AI's gains at all.
New from me for @NYTOpinion. I put a ton into researching what I think may be the biggest topic of the year, so hope you read it (gift link here!) nytimes.com/2026/04/30/opini…

Literally every working professional should watch the Artemis II lunar flyby as a communications training opportunity.
Listen to how clearly, tactfully, and respectfully the crew communicates with mission control. Hard to imagine misinterpretations or misunderstandings.

This is the most important thing happening in the world right now.
The administration wants killer drones + mass surveillance of Americans.
Anthropic refuses to build it. While most tech companies fall in line, they are prepared to pay the price for their principles.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gives Anthropic a Friday deadline to open its AI technology for unrestricted military use or risk losing contract, source tells AP. apnews.com/article/anthropic…

At some point in this AI journey, humans will beg for human generated content so much that it would be so expensive just like. The same way people now pay extra for ‘organic’ food.🫰🏾
