Thinking back to 2019 and consulting on the @kickstarter campaign to Restore Mission Control where my dad worked so many years. What a privilege to help out with this effort. And to 1969, when my dad wasn’t on console but back home w my mom, watching the first steps.
On July 20, 2019, the surviving members of Gene Kranz's flight control team, who were on duty during the Apollo 11 landing, stood at their consoles in the restored mission control room exactly 50 years later and listened to their historic acheivement via apolloinrealtime.org/11
Author Allan Wolf wrote a middle grade novel about this event. It’s 526 pages and on my to-read list. We talked about the event as he was writing it. How quickly steady things can, without warning, vanish. a.co/d/08kBBLiK

Excited to announce that Planet AI is generally available! You can 'ask the Earth' 💬🌎
Today's AI models have read the internet, but they haven't seen the world. The @planet AI app changes that. You can now ask questions directly to a 10+ year, 3,000+ layer archive of daily satellite imagery.
During beta, we've seen:
🌾 Farmers boosting crop yields
🚒 First responders tracking disaster paths
🛡️ Security teams uncovering emerging risks
🌲 Park rangers halting illegal deforestation in real time
We're putting satellite intelligence into more hands, helping more people see what's happening on Earth and make better decisions. Search. Analyse. Act.

🤖 Made with AI
AI + global imaging has unbelievable use cases for individuals, companies, governments. To know God’s green Earth so well square foot by square foot and we are only scratching the surface.
Testing @Planet's amazing new AI app.
I asked it for all the gravel airstrips in Canada’s north, for a project I'm working on. It found them in seconds.

This is Larry Bird and Magic Johnson hoisting Michael Jordan into the air, having won his first NBA title.
Or Rafa and Federer picking up Novak after the Australian.
Hard to picture because it wouldn’t happen except in F1. Wow.

T-Minus 3 days until the Tully Harper Series is complete. It has been a joy as well as a labor to put this story onto paper. I wrote the series to inspire young readers - and the young at heart - to look up from their phones and embrace the wonders above our heads. #tullysaidso
adamholtwrites.com is the easiest way to find these books.
AI agents have done useful things but also committed crimes. Where’s the prosecution? The public needs protection from trillion dollar companies when their experiments go rogue or wrong.
Let me get this straight.
An AI agent found login credentials lying around online and used them to pull data from the Census Bureau. It tried to break into the Education Department's civil rights office. It posted SEC data to a forum. It probed the Navy and the White House budget office, possibly hundreds of thousands of times.
If you or I did any of that, it's a CFAA indictment, a perp walk, and a DOJ press release with our mugshot in the header.
When OpenAI does it, it's a "routine research task."
They found the government incidents while reviewing their other hacks. The breach audit, uncovered more breaches. It's breaches all the way down.
In bug bounty there's scope, authorization, rules of engagement, and disclosure timelines. Researchers get banned for a fraction of this.
Silicon Valley skipped all of that and called it "agentic."

9/11. On my way to open the educational center I was directing. Traffic strangely heavy, I turned on the radio. I understood. There was a man frantically waving an American flag on an overpass. The center didn’t reopen for two weeks. When we did it was in a different world.
September 11th, 2001. Every American alive then remembers that moment and can answer the inevitable question: “Where were you on 9/11?”

The Shards of Obliteron cover art is coming together nicely. No AI slop here. :) Props to Tatiana. She has been great with revisions. viladesign.net/fiction-portf…
The Great Barrier Reef is in great shape. Nice!
Good news you probably haven't heard:
The Great Barrier Reef's five best years of coral cover in the 40-year record are the five most recent.
After decades of predictions of its imminent demise, the reef stubbornly refuses to die.

Mistakes were made. Glad these hikers survived.
A group of hikers had to be rescued after using AI to plan a summit of Mount Shasta in California.
They depended on Google's Gemini to give them information about the route and what to pack, which led them to bring "far less food and water than their group required," according to the local sheriff's office.
