As every March 31, we celebrate the World Back-up Day.
It’s an healthy habit one should make, along with the one of verify the quality and the integrity of the back-up itself.
Please do it, and remember there are two kinds of people… the one who’s lost data, and the one that will lose it.
Take care and back-up!
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.

“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.”
