Investor @lightshipcap Organizer @BlackTechWeek Investing in the best founders & funders. ONLY Pitch me via our website - https://t.co/b4CrKWAobL

I founded @LoveKairos facial recognition. Because I was the ONLY Black CEO of a facial recognition company, we focused on Black & Brown faces and were the best in the world. ICE tried to buy (and invest) in my company and I turned them down. This is EXACTLY why.
ICE’s facial recognition technology is fueling a surveillance state that targets Black & Brown communities, silences dissent, and chills free speech. I’m demanding ICE stop scanning our faces like barcodes.

@BrianBrackeen No you are 1000% accurate! As a founder take the break sure but as a board, chairman, and GM of the business you gotta responsibility to drive value and press your advantages! They totally fumbled! But on serge he rarely likes the day to day of management. He is more of a laser.

It’s also curing cancer, folding proteins, mapping the human genome, driverless cars, etc. To talk risks and not rewards is a disservice to your viewers @RBReich . It’s a serious topic, worthy of serious debate.
Trump has signed an Executive Order attempting to ban states and localities from regulating AI. It comes after Big Tech announced a $100 million lobbying blitz. Always follow the money.

this is exactly why having a founder matters so much. when a company with a real founder screws up, the founder can just show up, say “we fucked up”, admit fault, & make things better. when there’s no founder, you get pr-corp speak which always makes things worse. by simply

I’ve been SCREAMING that Google fumbled the greatest value creating technology of the last 200 years. Sergey should return fully and lead them back to glory.
Sergey Brin admits Google messed up by under-investing in the transformer architecture it invented Google was too scared to release chatbots that "say dumb things", so it under-invested in scaling compute "we didn't take it very seriously... and openAI ran with it"

Silicon Valley’s got to change, or it’s going to be everyone, everywhere against them. That includes DC, states, policy, unions, and like the last time… people attacking things like Google busses. 🚍 They may not hear that in the bubble, but it’s true.
SAG-AFTRA president Sean Astin told @jolingkent that he is “tried of being overwhelmed” and feeling out of control when it comes to how AI technology could be used in Hollywood. Astin said the use of AI in Hollywood feels like a tsunami — but he added that he wants to put his

Hawaii not having data centers has ZERO to do with energy prices. Why can’t we have an honest discussion on these issues? Nothing to be afraid of.
FOX: Are data centers jacking up rates on everyday Americans? BURGUM: 100% false FOX: Why? BURGUM: The highest electric prices in this country are Hawaii and Maine, and there are no data centers there

One of the Principles of Good Design is that “Good Design is honest.” @satyanadella , you should do a enterprise wide review of all of the features that do NOT do what they say. It’s a rampant problem.

Former Sen. Sinema is being paid by a developer to lobby for AI data center in Chandler AZ. Residents' emails to City Council running 20-1 against data center. Vote is tonight.

To say data center’s water and energy use is fake news is WILD. (and I’m deeply pro AI)

Instacart is about to have the whole world come down on it. Republicans and Democrats. Deservedly so.
EXCLUSIVE: We uncovered a secret corporate scheme to raise grocery prices. We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items. The scary part? It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too. Our months-long

Shane Steichen should absolutely be fired. Immediately. Send him straight back to Philadelphia to be their offensive coordinator.
