Always an honor to discuss my book #TechAgnostic w/the NYT, in a piece landing 2nd @nytimes.com no less. I'm just psyched this cites the book's whole subtitle. AND it involved an amazing debate w/a Pulitzer-winner over whether I believe Leo is "doing the Lord's work." www.nyti…

Watching this All Star Game and my takeaway is, these tech companies are all undefeated...IF the goal is for their commercials to be incredibly un-likable and to make their users seem extremely strange. It's almost like they asked AI how to appear human and...oh wait that's definitely what they did
