Waiting For...
I hate when people ask me, “How was your weekend?” or “What did you do over the weekend?” I immediately feel stressed cause they are waiting for an answer, and I can’t remember how I felt or what I did on Sunday, much less Saturday. From now on, my answer will be, “None of your business.” That’s quick and easy to remember. Oooh, or maybe something random and gruesome, “Oh, um… Let’s see, I…

"# Embracing AI: A Pathway to Rediscovering Our Humanity What if AI isn’t here to replace us, but rather to remind us of who we truly are? This provocative notion lies at the core of Kim Carson’s captivating Long Now Talk, “Inspired by Intelligence: Purpose and Creativity in the AI Era.” As a creative technologist and futurist, Carson challenges the pervasive narratives of a tech-driven utopia or dystopia and carves out a substantial middle ground that emphasizes our essential human creativity. In her talk, Carson posits that AI serves as a tool for thought — a reflective surface that can rejuvenate our creative spirit. Accompanied by mesmerizing video art crafted with the SORA text-to-video model, she advocates for the view that AI is not merely a means to automate labor but a beacon to reclaim our human agency. This perspective encourages us to harness technological advancements not just to enhance efficiency but to evoke contemplation about our identities and capabilities—a dialogue that no machine, irrespective of its sophistication, can fully engage in for us. Carson eloquently explores the transformative role of vulnerability. In a time when society often prizes perfection and optimization, she implores us to use AI tools to reconnect with our inner selves, prompting us to see our identities and creative potentials in refreshing light. This act of rediscovery is foundational to reshaping our world. As Carson insightfully suggests, vulnerability and creativity are prerequisite conditions for any significant technological innovation. As her talk drew to a close, Carson made a poignant plea for our collaborative future—one that prioritizes imagination over endless optimization. In her view, our society craves a renaissance of creativity to navigate the complexities of our rapidly changing landscape. Presented on April 22, 2025, at The Interval in San Francisco, Carson’s insights echo the mission of The Long Now Foundation, which has tirelessly worked since 2003 to foster cultural imagination and long-term thinking. By inviting over 400 leading thinkers to share their groundbreaking ideas, Long Now Talks inspire conversations about how our past has shaped us and how our future can be molded. In a world rife with escalating crises, The Long Now Foundation stands as a counterbalance. Our growing community, spanning 65 countries and encompassing 12,000 passionate individuals, is a testament to the power of collective imagination and commitment to the long term. Together, we can envision and create audacious possibilities. Will you join us in embracing this journey?"

Hello there,
Sorry I've been AWOL over the past few weeks, been a little under the weather but feeling much better now. Finally getting back to writing my newsletter.
