It was a privilege to speak with CNBC’s Squawk Box this morning about SureMark Digital’s work in countering AI-driven deepfake threats. This is more than technology, it’s about safeguarding the integrity of identity. Proud of what our team has built. https://t.co/kr4leSFbgT

Happy Easter. "Our Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ, came to pay a debt He didn’t owe because we owed a debt we couldn’t pay. Handel's Messiah: Debtor's Prison

President Russell M. Nelson taught that the release of these prisoners from debtor’s prison beautifully symbolizes our own redemption through the Savior Jesus Christ.

Grateful to Eman, Vinicius, Olga and Emily for the chance to speak at AIBC in Dubai. As promised, below is an inaugural digital assertion for my passport application. A first, quiet step to a more trustworthy, human-centric world. Also a summary of my keynote.

Well, even St. E. is wrong once in a while. Those Feynman lectures provide a wonderful and integrated view of physics. Of equal importance, they demonstrate the benefit of thinking topics through for oneself and then teaching others as the best way to really understand a topic.

@deliprao It isn’t clear to me why people like Feynman’s physics lectures so much. I found them to be ok, but not great. Wouldn’t recommend them either to those who want to learn physics or those who have. His non-physics books, like “Surely you’re joking …” are great.

Cats dominate humanity Super-smart scientists are often recluse and introvert. Which goes to show that intelligence is neither necessary nor sufficient for world domination.
