And please regulate, regulate, regulate this industry, while you can.

Nicola D’Agostino linked to me to the text version of Maciej Ceglowski talk given on May 10, 2017, at the re:publica conference in Berlin.
Worth every second the time you’ll need to read this … especially if, like me, you live in Europe, and then share it everywhere you can!
If children only sharpen their brains at school, there’s no guarantee they won’t go on to make trouble. To balance their keen brains, they need a warm heart. The more compassionate they learn to be, the more useful members of society they’re likely to become.

And they will tell us: You can’t possibly regulate effectively anyway, because the tech is moving too fast.
But (channeling Ryan Calo here): The point of regulation isn’t to micromanage specific technologies but rather to establish and protect rights. And those are enduring.

If you have a keyboard, you have the chance to speak to some people – the people who want to hear from you. It is possible, when the stars align, for that group to be a billion, or it might only be 10, but there is a number of people that you can engage with and if you change the culture then you change everything. My argument for more than 20 years has been that we are each responsible for the culture where we are living, because we each have the ability to do something about it.
Seth Godin
“I tend to think that most fears about A.I. are best understood as fears about capitalism. And I think that this is actually true of most fears of technology, too. Most of our fears or anxieties about technology are best understood as fears or anxiety about how capitalism will use technology against us. And technology and capitalism have been so closely intertwined that it’s hard to distinguish the two.”
Ted Chiang
Compassion and love are not a luxury; they are essential to our existence. Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community. We must learn to work not just for our own self, family, or nation, but for the benefit of all humankind.
