Saw your IG post about leaving platforms that fund fascism. Appreciate that. And I understand everything's a tradeoff. But Marc Andreessen is a backer of Substack... and on the board of Meta... and co-owner of TikTok ...and also funding "an astroturfing AI-powered bot service" designed to "orchestrate actions on thousands of social accounts through both bulk content creation and deployment." So if you you're quitting ChatGPT for Claude, you might want to swap Substack for Ghost or something like it.

That is actually the perfect video and I'm glad I had to click none of the buttons bc I've technically been bct'ing yt. 😅 But I find the best way to learn about people and their views as creators is to find slightly longer videos and you can get a better feel for their beliefs and outlooks. I also am glad someone has *positivity* on AI in that we can help use/change it for good, still concerned about the great lakes/water as the current use of AI is unsatisfactory to me in our society and it's blowing through resources for no truly good reasons. 🙃

Go get him. And to the comment Richard made about the trade off of Substack to Ghost, etc on this platform. I think the answer is big tech monarchs are so ingrained in our key platforms, we can never fully get around them. But we minimize our dependence as much as possible. Appreciate all you do.
