Regulating AI? What's the Catch? Two questions, with some focused on the first without knowing much about the technology but have the power to write laws, and others focused on the second who understand precisely whats at stake and keen to maximise profits but have little in the way of interest in matters related to social awareness/responsibilities. In other words it seems the stage is set for a long/rough ride for us all before we're able to deal with the complexities and vulnerabilities of a new technology in order to truly maximise its benefits. But fear not, we have wise leadership at the helm.....oops! #technology #ai

To celebrate the halfway point for Gnara’s Kickstarter campaign and passing the $50K milestone for legging pre-orders featuring our GoFly Technology, we threw a launch party in Colorado last week. Sometimes, the planning, travel, and shlepping of stuff feels like too much for a tiny team, on top of running the day to day business, fundraising, and establishing brand new revenue streams, like licensing. While events might not always result in ROI from a dollar standpoint, there’s a really important reason we will always keep showing up in person for our customers: community. It’s the reason we started this company — to make it easier to enter, find, and build communities in the outdoors. To help everyone explore exactly as they are — safely, comfortably, and confidently. Everything we do, from deciding which product to launch next to our Friday Amplify newsletters — is driven and sourced by our customer and larger community of those working to make the outdoors a more accessible, more inclusive space — at work and at play. And as a founder of a scaling start-up, it’s often the thing I’m pressured to delegate and detach from soonest: outsource customer service, contract social media interactions out, send another team member to the trade show, have a 3PL fulfill all the orders, no more handwritten notes. But it’s also the thing that fuels me the most — meeting and connecting with the real people we’re solving real problems for reminds me why I made the leap to do this in the first place, and motivates me to keep going. It helps me keep a pulse on the industry in a much more meaningful way than reading the latest dispatch from whatever corporate communication. I’ve spent the past week mulling over my favorite stories our community shared with me last week. To name a few: - A trans customer shared how we’ve completely transformed their experience in the outdoors from something they dreaded at all costs to a point of pride — shouting about pee pants from the summit tops and showing our functional zipper technology to every person they pass on trail. - A photographer shared how her positive experience working with Gnara has impacted the way she’s approached client relationships since, as well as her apparel choice for shoot days. :) - People from all over the world — an Australian visiting the states for a 10-year reunion, a couple of van lifers exploring the West — rerouted their trips just to make it to this party and try on and buy product in person because it's their favorite outdoor apparel on the market, period. It’s easy to feel like you’re building something in a silo. It's easy to not see the ripples your work is making in a saturated sea of an industry. A big piece of advice to my younger founder self: There’s a time and a place for heads down grinding, but the time for building out in public, with the people you’re building for, is always. 🔗: https://lnkd.in/gy9xh7Gc

The Spring Update from OpenAI around the real time chatting and video aspect is wildly impressive. The fact that it can change tone and expression and process information at the speed it can is insane. ChatGPT is progressing faster than any other tool/software we have ever seen. #chatgpt https://lnkd.in/gtMy7yWY

GitHub's COO, Kyle Daigle on the company's latest GitHub Secure Open Source fund, investing $1.5M in capital for projects that promote security across the software ecosystem alongside partners like American Express, 1Password, Shopify, and Stripe. Daigle shares with Paul S. in TechCrunch: "We’re the home of open source, ultimately, and we have an obligation to help ensure that open source can continue to thrive and have the support that it needs."

I'd missed this story from back in July. Rappler is building its own end-to-end encrypted, decentralized communities on the Matrix protocol. "Built on the open source, secure, decentralized Matrix protocol, the app has the potential to become a global independent news distribution outlet, and promises to pave the way for a “shared reality” — a call Ressa has been making to counter “the cascading failures of a corrupted public information ecosystem.”" This is both incredibly cool and makes a ton of sense. It's the first time I've seen a newsroom build decentralized communities in the wild - and it's doubly cool that it's end-to-end encrypted. For CEO Maria Ressa, whose work has been beset by endless legal challenges in the Philippines, that last feature is particularly vital. But it all helps the newsroom evade censorship and avoid serving up its content for AI vendors to train on. This quote from Ressa is something that every newsroom should learn from: "We realized: there is no future for digital news unless we build our own tech, because there are only three ways a digital news site, or any digital site, gets traffic: direct, search, or social search. [...] If you do not trust the tech, then you are always going to be at the mercy of surveillance for-profit tech companies that, frankly, don’t understand news or the value of journalism." Exactly. I've banged this drum repeatedly, but it's a far more effective message from Ressa than me. This is the way. I truly hope that more will follow.
