Coach & Advisor to Founders: www.theuncommonfounder.com I host a podcast for thoughtful technologists - Humans in the Loop - https://open.spotify.com/show/4BbslJR0KA5bfqrcYRhJER Looking for happy corners of the internet.

Once the US was the shining example to the Chinese, and now it's become a cautionary tale. That's according to China/AI researcher, writer and policy lead for former Google CEO Eric Schmidt - Selina Xu. Full episode Tuesday - the most insight-dense conversation on Chinese tech you'll hear

@masnick.com wrote the paper that helped inspire Bluesky and now he sits on the Bluesky board. In the latest episode of the Humans in the Loop podcast, I sat down with Mike to get his take on the decentralised internet and whether it can be a winning strategy in modern times. Links in thread

If people don't believe the hopeful future is possible, they won't even try to build it. Enjoyed talking with @foundercoach.bsky.social about why I'm optimistic about technology as a force for good—and deeply skeptical about tech's default power dynamics.

What happened to tech that made our lives better? Loved this conversation with @komorama.bsky.social Full podcast episode out today: open.spotify.com/episode/2Z82... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bil1... #tech #technology #techethics #siliconvalley #bigtech

Decentralised data storage + interoperable protocols + more powerful vibe coding = each of us with more sovereignty to shape our own experience of the internet. The days of using off-the-shelf platforms that exploit you may well be numbered!

What if technology didn’t feel so… hollow? Some friends and I just released a manifesto about a world where tech leaves us feeling nourished (along with an evolving list of theses about how we can build it) resonantcomputing.org

The Resonant Computing Manifesto

Technology should bring out the best in humanity, not the worst—a manifesto for resonant computing built on five principles that reject hyper-scale extraction for human flourishing.

Silicon Valley's lost decade: consumer ceded to aggregators, software "innovation" meant SaaSy CRUD for some vertical niche. We forgot software could be anything else. Infinite software means we can dream again.
