Always appreciate Calvin Eaton's wisdom and insight. Was great hearing his Keynote remarks on Building Equitable (and Community-Centric) Relationships in the #nonprofit sector at today's @AFPGV Regional Conference. 🙏🏼

Don't get me wrong, #OakHill is a stunning course, but why did they remove so many of the trees in preparation for this week's @PGAChampionship? I suspect it's easier to present on TV that way ... but curious if anyone knows?
Ok, hear me out, what if #ChatGPT is just a bunch of really smart people hanging out in secret typing back answers to people about all sorts of things?
*sigh* for anyone apt to take this seriously, yes, I do realize that's not what #ChatGPT is.
All four bands were fantastic, but The @VenomousPinks absolutely slayed. 🤘🏼#punksnotdead #livemusic #upstateny #punkrock

In 2000, at the depth of the dot com crash, Reed Hastings and I tried to sell Netflix to Blockbuster for $50 million dollars. They laughed us out of the room.
Today, the company they could have bought for $50 million has a market cap north of $150 billion. And the company that once had 9,000 stores, is down to a single one.
But what lesson to take from this?
That it’s possible for a handful of people, with no prior experience in the video business, to take down a 6 billion dollar category leading company? Sure.
But I think the more important lesson - a lesson that Blockbuster learned too late - is simply this:
If you are unwilling to disrupt yourself, there will always be someone willing to disrupt your business for you.

A fun thing to do when you have three deadlines in the next 36 hours is to spill coffee all over yourself and your desk. 🙃 How's your day going? #inspiration
Question for my colleagues in the #Nonprofit space ... with the arrival of tools like Chat GPT-4 and Dall•E, how is #AI already impacting / how do you anticipate it changing your work and the work of the #socialsector? (Working on an article.)
Max Levchin's start-up @Affirm gives consumers new lending options ... do the pros outweigh the cons? Great interview with @MLevchin x @LaurenGoode via @WIRED.

Uganda's horrific new anti-LGBTQ+ laws have complex implications for the country's residents and for #nonprofits working there. What are your thoughts on how #NGOs should proceed? #humanrights #publicpolicy cnn.it/40rWYHv
Fascinating look into the new @Ledger Stax designed by @tfadell, and the increasing use case for cold storage in the wake of #FTX. Great piece by @StevenLevy via @wired.
