Safe AI for kids

I just signed an open letter from everyone.ai to support their effort to educate the public on the importance of building systems that protect children from the harmful aspects of AI, while leveraging the potential benefits in education.

I don’t normally post pictures of food but last night’s meal was extraordinary. There was also an almond soup that didn’t look like much but was delicious.

Dinner with my wife’s college alumni group in Hong Kong.

Is that a real tree or the work of AI?

Sometimes peace isn't found in striving for more, but in pausing and realizing that you already have enough. The sunrise, the quiet moments, the people who have stayed with you—these are the true treasures we overlook when we search for "something bigger."

I’m afraid someone may have started it by smoking near the building. I can’t imagine what they would be going through now if they realize they started it.

I think a bunch of factors combined to make this such a tragedy. We have had monsoon winds for 2 days and I am sure this contributed to the spread. Definitely negligence compounded by many other issues.

We cried when we watched the news last night. All those families watching the buildings burn while their family members are missing was so heartbreaking to watch.

The short solo episode is a follow up to the fascinating conversation I had with Jussi Holopainen, who has been studying and teaching game design for more than 20 years.

Teaching game design is a wonderful way to engage students in learning and can also stimulate development of many skills like problem solving, creativity, collaboration, and more.

Nelson Mandela said "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world".

I'm getting ready to interview Shai Reshef, the President of the University of the People, for my podcast and this is going to be a must listen episode. He is changing the world.

Trump just requested more investigations for this very purpose. He wants Bondi to refuse to release the files because of impending investigations. Don't be fooled into thinking Trump flip flopped and is actually supporting releasing the files.

It is all a smoke screen.

Trump could tell Pam Bondi to release the Epstein files anytime he wants but instead he is telling her to open investigations so she can refuse to release the files because of pending investigations.

He didn't flip flop. He setup Bondi to take the heat while he claims he is for releasing the files.

This is just plausible deniability. Trump asked Bondi to open investigations so she can be the one who says they can’t release the files because of an ongoing investigation. He will throw her under the bus.

Did a day trip to Shenzhen last week and had our first experience riding the subway (MTR) there. It's clean and modern. The image is the map of all of the trains and stations in Shenzhen. With a population of almost 18m, Shenzhen has grown to be the third most populated city in China.

Sunset in Thailand. My son took this picture on a recent trip. I hope it brings some peace and calm to all my fiends on Blue Sky.

My wife had oral surgery a couple of days ago and is still swollen and sore. This morning I blended papaya with warm almond milk and some protein for her breakfast. It gives me joy to do something thoughtful for the woman who has given me so much love and happiness.

I took it for a test drive and published a short episode with my impressions. It is going to be interesting to see how disruptive this is in the EdTech market.

I'll say it again. Education is the great equalizer. The below post points out the negative effects of taking education away. I like to focus on the positive effects of providing a quality education to all children.

Grief is different for each of us. It takes time. For me it came in waves but the waves became less and less disabling and less and less frequent. Try not to feed to waves. Accept them when they happen but don't dwell there. Your brother would want you to focus on the happy memories not the sadness.

In this case, an invasive species that destroys rice paddies across Asia is probably worse that a golf course that's been around for 100 years. The pink eggs aren't the problem. The snails reproduce rapidly and eat young plants. I saw the pink stuff and wanted to figure out what it was.

Channeled Apple Snails lay clusters of eggs that look like bubble gum. They are an invasive species in Asia and we saw these eggs all over the golf course yesterday as we walked around the Hong Kong Open golf tournament.

Don’t touch! The eggs are toxic.

Why do over 20k accounts follow @buseum.bsky.social ?

The account has 0 posts and only reposts Sanat Tarihi. I guess people just blindly add accounts to startup lists but it also makes me wonder if people have some monetization dream that drives them to pursue lots of followers here. Not me.

Celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary in Egypt. An amazing trip with the love of my life. Life is good!

Just got home to Hong Kong last night. Still unpacking and catching up on sleep.
