Goodbye, Twitter. I'm quitting. I love reading my friends' tweets, but I don't have the self-control to not waste hours every day also reading junk.

Discourses around "teaching machines to be ethical" are frankly just a distraction, and one grounded in fantastical ideas about "AGI".

A great essay (as always from @doctorow) on the competing philosophies in the blockchain/P2P space, that of "global redundancy" and "subsidiarity". Permissioned ledgers e.g. @hyperledger are much more about the latter. but are conflated with the former doctorow.medium.com/a-useful…
"By accelerating our transition to cheap and abundant renewable fuels, we can address two grave threats to the planet at once: the climate-warming, air-polluting menace of hydrocarbons and the dictators who rule their supply." nyti.ms/37X3PCR
