“To see life; to see the world; to eyewitness great events; to watch the faces of the poor and the gestures of the proud; to see strange things — machines, armies, multitudes, shadows in the jungle and on the moon; to see man’s work — his paintings, towers and discoveries; to see things thousands of miles away, things hidden behind walls and within rooms, things dangerous to come to; the women that men love and many children; to see and to take pleasure in seeing; to see and be amazed.” - Henry Luce, 1936

The nation owes a debt to @JGebbia and his excellent team. They worked incredibly hard, with no compensation, to make government services work better for all Americans.

Imagine seeing your work announced on the national stage by the world's most gifted speakers, like @SecRubio who introduced our new design for the U.S. Passport, in collaboration with the State Department. National Design Studio is growing! ndstudio.gov/jobs

Laker fans, you couldn’t have two better owners. I’ve known Bob personally for over 40 years - he has always loved the Lakers and basketball and he will bring championships back to LA.

If Steve Jobs were still alive, he would have the moral authority to face and maybe even to solve this problem. But I doubt anyone in the phone business now does.
From an empty warehouse in LA to today’s launch, it’s been an honor to partner with Mesh. If you are interested in building generational technology, don’t hesitate to reach out

Trying to kill the Fed’s independence by criminal investigation is not good for that institution, and maybe even worse for the Justice Department. Feels like an attempt at murder-suicide….
status may be increasingly defined by the ability to live without algorithms. a peaceful mind as a form of luxury

This meme is revealing, both in its brilliance and its shortcomings.
I'll start with the brilliance. Social media algorithms have a deeper and more intimate understanding of their users than most of their best friends do. They know our quirks, our desires, our lusts, and our aspirations. They know things about us that we don't even know about ourselves. So yes, they disturb us by showing us our own shadow.
What about the shortcomings? The algorithms cater to our short-term desires instead of our long-term ones. They suck us in with political dramas, viral videos, and all kinds of porn. Like a box of Pringles, these things are irresistible in the moment, but leave us feeling regretful after the fact. So yes, like junk food, social media can ruin lives by preying on our impulses.
But our information environment doesn't need to be polluted like this.
This begs the question: How would algorithms change if they prioritized our long-term desires?

Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #AI to cultivate moral discernment as a fundamental part of their work—to develop systems that reflect justice, solidarity, and a genuine reverence for life.
