What would the world look like if we redefined profit as "the maximization of human flourishing"? That's how @ericries.bsky.social defines it in his new book, Incorruptible. I was a test reader; tonight I get to ask him about it. Marin, 6pm. Come join us. www.bookpassage.com/event/eric-r...

I joined tech because of the hacker ethic – technology as a force for human flourishing. It feels like the industry has optimized it away, but the hacker ethic was alive and well at tiat last night!

1-bit local voice-to-text models, hyper-personalized interfaces for the post-app era, useful friction for a more meaningful life — we loved seeing what everyone’s working on last night at TIAT! Join interface.click to connect with this community of builders.

How do we make resonant, prosocial tech? In NYC earlier this year, I finally got to dig into this question with a community of like-minded folks. I left so energized by the creativity in that room. Doing it again in SF: May 13, 6pm @resonantcompute.bsky.social luma.com/interface

Four months ago we asked: what if technology didn't feel so… hollow? Last night, we gathered the people who've been asking the same question — and launched what comes next. @aish.bsky.social @zoew.bsky.social

Last night the Resonant Computing Lab launched in NYC. A fund for building software that leaves people nourished, not drained. 1,200+ people have signed the manifesto. Now there's funding to turn principles into practice. resonantcomputinglab.com

OpenClaw Agents Can Be Guilt-Tripped Into Self-Sabotage

In a controlled experiment, OpenClaw agents proved prone to panic and vulnerable to manipulation. They even disabled their own functionality when gaslit by humans.

We spent a decade being told the open web was dead. Turns out it was just waiting for the tooling to catch up. @masnick.com nails it: AI coding agents are the new "view source." Open protocols make sure you actually own what you build. www.techdirt.com/2026/03/25/a...
