Building continental, standards-based, civic platforms takes a long time - but it’s worth the effort to connect cities, regions, nations, and organizations to collaborate on complex problems Read a bit on what we’ve been doing for the past decade: esri.com/arcgis-blog/product… – at Washington, DC

Let’s see, from the Dulles to DC do I pay $50-$110 for the privilege of riding in a private car and sit in traffic? Or $6 to cruise in a shared train? They both have the exact same travel time.

interesting take that I generally agree with, and that it's ok. My sense is that AI generated art is a new medium that people are happily exploring how to use. Similar to Greeks learning marble, or Renaissance learning perspective. Still a lot to learn on effective technique.
i’ve been struggling to put this into words for a while but i think a lot of this AI art craze comes down to these guys feeling the joy of being creative for the first time and mistaking it for something much deeper.

My own talk was "Resiliency through Accessibility" From my perspective, a key shift has been how easy it has become for *anyone* to explore & experiment with new AI tools. Combining accessible AI with Open Data allows for hyperlocal, community-integrated solutions for crisis
