Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Alice was a mentor, a friend and one of the people who I credit with helping me find my voice.

She gave me the strength to embrace my disabilities and use my skills as a writer to help others.

My life is forever changed because of her.

I will have more to say once I’ve processed 💔

15 years ago, I said every social media founder should be forced to use and live with the default settings of their platforms. Now I would say that the AI founders should have their tools pointed at their families for a year before they can deploy them elsewhere.

China’s clean-energy revolution will reshape markets and politics The world’s biggest manufacturer now has an interest in the world decarbonising

Most of this happened with very little pushback, despite a myriad of iss...
