We drove, we flew, we walked. We waited, we spoke, and we overflowed into the corridors. And we got a 12-0 vote for AB 412! This is how the day unfolded: June 23 in Sacramento. themuse.substack.com/p/standing-s...

Hey BlueSky! Word's out that US states will retain their authority to regulate AI. Senate just voted 99-1 against a ban on AI regulation that had been included in the OBBB (One Big Beautiful Bill). Nice to see something done right. Huge thanks to Senator Blackburn! apnews.com/article/cong...

I love BlueSky. I really do. Feels like a breath of fresh air. Like Substack too, and a few other places. But taken together, social media sucks up a lot of time. Time you can’t reel back once gone. If you're a creator, it's especially important to watch your social media diet. Don’t overdose.

How do you reconcile the words of great wisdom from writers of great renown, with their rather unwise personal behavior behind closed doors? Does their failing in one arena taint their achievement in another?

Writers don't let their writer friends use generative AI to illustrate their essays and articles. Artists don't let their artist friends listen to AI generated music while painting. Musicians don't let their musician friends read AI generated novels. Create responsibly.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.
