Is this using ATProtocol? I wasn’t clear from the site.

Congrats!

Me too!

And a load of fake DMARC setup confirmation emails for a domain I own.

They are, yes

Having said that, I have become a lot better at being direct these past few years, so I'd likely just say "I'm not able to, sorry. I can recommend some good hotels though".

I think guessers agonise over HOW to say "No" in contexts like this, and what it says about them as people.

"Can my family and I stay for two weeks?".

Then:

"No." (looks cold and heartless; do I want to project cold and heartless? Will they hate me?).

"I'm so sorry but I'm not able to. The house is a mess and it's really small" (performative, hand-wringing reluctance; we both know I'm lying).

"I just don't like to share my environment" (most truthful; might look petty to those who don't understand the need for privacy to that degree).

I feel that his pretentious, overwrought and unctuous writing was perhaps all because of an emptiness or inadequacy… His final years as a nice old gay man seem much more _normal_ and real, and he seems less of a fantasist at that stage…

I’m more optimistic. I see there being iterations developed in conjunction with industry. It will sooner or later become strongly enforced and then to whatever extent it provides guardrails will be down to provisions in the act, plus interpretation.

I don’t really relate to many comments here stating “my approach is X”, or “I went from servant-leader to process-master-whatever leader”.

I’ve found that trying to be anything but flexible to the environment is unrealistic and even egotistical.

E.g, There are some environments where the CEO is so “command and control” that the “I want us all to bring our authentic selves to the peace circle of work, and from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs, we will figure out a synergy that works for all” just won’t ever work.

And for me, being unable to adapt the approach to environment suggests ‘one trick pony’.

Perhaps sovereign compute is the answer? We have open weights models, as a sort of ‘public commons’ that democratises that layer, but compute is still the bottleneck for big companies..

How so?
