⏩ A Quick Q&A on the e/acc movement with ... Nadia Asparouhova @nayafia 'Technologists are implicit authorities on how we build the future. They have a unique responsibility to the public to represent the best of what the world could be.' fasterplease.substack.com/p/a-quick-q-an…
Devon and @JanineLeger both have a rare eye for bringing people together in a way that captures the optimism and curiosity of tech without the hubris. I can't wait to see their vision in-person this June!

Reflections on Qualitative Research: transformer-circuits.pub/2024/qualitati… [h/t to @ch402 for originating & driving this!]
Of the (many) takes about e/acc, journalists seem preoccupied with analyzing its moral value. But no one has asked: if e/acc is "just" techno-optimism, why is it suddenly popular now? I explored this for @tnajournal: thenewatlantis.com/publications/t…
Sometimes the @IFP team wishes an essay existed, but we're not the right people to write it: we don't have the insight, network, or time. Here's a (regularly updated) list of those pieces. If you're the right author, get in touch. We'd love to help. docs.google.com/document/d/17R…
I spent last fall trying to understand what e/acc means to ppl beyond the memes. This led to a handful of great convos with @bayeslord There isn't a lot of longform about e/acc, so we tried to write something together. I've got another piece coming out about it soon. Enjoy!

Not a day passes that I’m not reminded of these words from Ric Sluiter, art director of LILO & STITCH. vulture.com/2022/10/an-ora…
I really love language-learning as a hobby, but I want to be honest with myself that this may be because perfection is not achievable — and for me there’s a comfort to having a relationship to something that I will never be done with.
Incredibly proud of @andrewmccalip and the Varda team for this one. Reminder that you don’t need anyone’s permission to do research. You can just do it!

Some words by @nayafia I’m thinking about this 4th of July week. Anyone who is an immigrant to this country knows there are few places that offer the abundance of opportunity available here despite its well discussed faults. Grateful for all that America has offered me.
museums admissions tickets should be dirt cheap. people think when they go to the museum they have to like concentrate hard and understand the art but honestly a much better way to do it is to go really often and just dilly dally when you're there

GitHub is planning to permanently close its San Francisco office. I wrote an essay for Wired about why this office was so special, and its place in tech’s cultural history as one of its first disputed territories. wired.com/story/github-t…
I've never bought the story of the tech backlash as it's commonly told. So I tried to tell the story I saw - as a clash between two generations of power - in an essay for Tablet Magazine. tabletmag.com/sections/news/…
Why do McKinsey or Google prize "high-IQ generalists," while startups prize "lone geniuses?" I tried to explain how different definitions of talent influence corporate cultures: nadia.xyz/top-talent

"Cataloging" is an underrated genre of writing. Not quite journalism, not quite sci-fi, and always amateur oriented. Catalogers help write the future into existence.
Excited to spend time this summer researching the social side of protocols. I’ll be studying how protocol adoption differs, based on type. I’m especially glad to take part in a rare experiment in creating a structured program for independent researchers. Will share what I learn!

Also another positional thing. A lot of advice seems to come down to "here is how you cope in the world" - it's reactive and defensive. Rather than an emphasis on being an actor in the world who can change things.
