“Behold the 'Art of the Deal.'”
--House Speaker Mike Johnson
I had dinner recently with a lawyer who had been involved in one of Trump’s four Atlantic City bankruptcies. A creditors’ meeting was held at the defunct casino, and at the entrance was a table piled high with free copies of “The Art of the Deal.”
And that's it for me on the increasingly awful X.
Please continue to follow me on the Blue alternative.
Thanks and see you there!

Wow, JD just got utterly savaged by over 300 negative posts in the comments section of the WSJ. That's without doubt a new world record for a Republican candidate....

From a Rolling Stone story by Michael Rogers on the June 1973 solar eclipse.
We’re approaching the 50th anniversary of the Asilomar Conference on Recombinant DNA—the first attempt by scientists to self-regulate hazardous research. Next week I’ll be speaking at Rice University for “Brave New World: Who Decides? Research, Risks and Responsibility”, a conference exploring whether the example of Asilomar is relevant to the new risks of synthetic biology, AI and geoengineering. It’s a difficult topic that grows ever more crucial.

Last week I posted an "FAQ from the Future" that imagined a future solution for deepfakes: labeling reality, rather than AI-generated content. This week I learned that such an app exists, Fake/Proof from developer Nathaniel Fairfield. Very interesting!

Driving to my house in Sicily farm country, the car in front of me is the first BYD I've seen. Then I stop at the tiny store at my “rural hamlet”, and there’s a brand-new electric charger station with another EV charging. The future creeps up when you least expect it….
Finally, the perfect animal mascot for the inhabitants of Planet Earth: a creature trapped in a deteriorating environment with no place else to go. (Yet so far it survives...)

In 1974 researchers called for a moratorium on potentially dangerous genetic engineering work. Fifty years later it happened again, this time with artificial intelligence. My compare-and-contrast of two very different eras.

Here are 5 old Cameroonian sayings, seen in Herve Youmbi's show at the Menil Collection in Houston. Why do they all make me think of Elon Musk?

Our keynote speaker @rogersma (the "Practical Futurist") provided electric cooperative leaders an opportunity to think about the future in terms of new technology, social issues, and how it relates to the transition to clean energy.
