Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #AI to cultivate moral discernment as a fundamental part of their work—to develop systems that reflect justice, solidarity, and a genuine reverence for life.
We've been hard at work for years building IoT and software to contribute to better elevators, and it was great to see the @MarketUrbanism report in the @nytimes this week, followed by our participation in today's @commobserver article:

@lift_ai we just finished implementing a Forgot Password flow for Cognito and #React. Using a FSM made the logic much cleaner.
@kentcdodds has a great writeup on state machines I recommend to checkout!

A really insightful (and bravely unconventional) essay by Brie Wolfson about the excitement of working hard.

Talked with @ezelby about the elevator industry and the tech we’re building at Lift AI.
We've all been in an elevator dozens of times but do you know how one actually works? @robwurth, Founder & CEO of Lift AI shares some fascinating facts and tidbits about the industry and how he's making elevators smart! megaphone.link/HS4916091540
Fantastic thread from @JustinEBurris as someone who has been (is) involved in both family business & venture-backed.

The job of a CEO changes over the life of a company as priorities evolve.
1⃣ Startups are about product
2⃣ Growth companies are about debottlenecking
3⃣ Mature companies are about resource allocation
It takes personal growth for a CEO to be right for the full life of a company.

I remember reading once that the pharmaceutical industry's greatest trick was the invention of 'side effects.' There's no such thing as 'side' effects – there's only effects. 'Disinformation' is a similar invention. There's only information; the binary split is an illusion.
I was at @Stanford with the @ObamaFoundation to talk about the rise of disinformation around the world and the threat it poses to democracy. We all have a role to play here, so let’s get to work.
