If today's community call is any indication, I'm very excited by the potential about working on better gatherings for journalists. Thanks @pboehler.net and @madraekaras.bsky.social for leading that discussion. And here's a refresher in case you didn't catch their piece in Source.

Our gatherings could be so much better

We say we welcome innovation, but our spaces preserve power

If you choose to get into that business and your customers are like “capacity seller I need your biggest capacity” then your response better be “yes sir but please finance all my capex to derisk this so I don’t get screwed” or you’re bad at your job

This is an actual visual map of the Circular Vendor Ponzi laid out by @anthonycr.bsky.social We're in the phase where they are making sure that none of the nodes die, but it is becoming increasingly thinly stretched It's likely in the terminal phase. If one of these faulters, the whole thing pops

Circular Vendor Ponzi map

Dell, Nvidia, Supermicro, Lambda, Coreweave, Crusce, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Oracle all buyuing from and selling to each other with no arrows leaving the map.

Billionaires market tech as innovation & disruption but the truth is AI—& the data centers that power it—are replicating old systems of harm and exploitation. Show up on 10/15 and demand that people, not billionaire, drive how Philly uses tech: phillytechjustice.org/hearing

When the only lever of accountability the audience has for a news organization is to cancel their subscription, they should not be discouraged or prevented from doing so. If the desire is feedback in another form, that form must exist beyond social media posts.

The American economy isn’t built to think - it’s built to comply. Risk aversion is reshaping our politics, our education system, and our global standing. We’re raising a generation that’s optimized for survival, not innovation - and it’s costing us everything. kyla.substack.com/p/compliance...
