A chart showing the differences between clique communities and click communities. Cliques are two-sided, supportive, inclusive, energising. Clicks are one-sided, promotional, exclusive, draining.

Are the online communities you’re part of really lifting you up, or draining your energy? How do you know the difference between a healthy online ‘clique’ vs a superficial ‘click’?

Building trust starts with making tech inclusive and demonstrating the benefits it can bring (when used responsibly and ethically). The media often focus on the negatives, and change can be scary. We can shift the narrative and drive positive change through collaboration, conversation and education

The weirdest thing about writing these days is that you almost have to relearn how to write so it doesn’t get flagged as AI-generated. Now I’m not even sure if I am human.

On a train at rush hour that’s standing room only and not a single person on my carriage is speaking. Complete silence. I don’t get rush hour trains often. Is this normal? #commute #tech #eerie

This Website Shows How Much Google’s AI Can Glean From Your Photos A photo sharing startup founded by an ex-Google engineer found a clever way to turn Google’s tech against itself.

I love websites like these that demonstrate how much data can be accurately inferred from a small amount of metadata, like a photo. Helping people to make conscious, informed decisions about what they share is critical in modern society and something I’m passionate about.
