My reporting on Amazon's Just Walk Out has gotten warped in a lot of other news outlets and on social media over the past few days. But the story's virality gets at a fundamental truth: a lot of flashy AI still needs people behind the scenes. My @theinformation column:

“Give me my theme music!”… How I’m entering every company meeting from now on…
Deion’s pregame speech was perfect.

A Harvard professor focused on the future of work says college degrees are becoming less important in the workplace than the social and executive functioning skills mastered (or not) during the years of early childhood. fortune.com/2023/06/03/early…

Big day for @brightwheel! We now deliver a full school-in-a-box: all materials + curriculum teachers need for hands-on learning in pre-k. Our app then captures it real-time & tracks developmental milestones. Plus an industry-first: automatic summaries shared with parents.
Proud to announce the acquisition of Experience Early Learning, the top-rated curriculum & assessment system aligned to NAEYC & all 50 states’ learning standards. Combines hands-on materials for kids + best-in-class digital tools for teachers! bit.ly/3MeYVTW

Preschool-age kids learn best hands-on, offline. We now bridge offline/online learning, giving teachers superpowers in the classroom & enabling parents to continue the learning at home.

SVB was an existential crisis. As in any crisis, ppl showed their true colors… -Exec teams who took care of employees + customers -Investors who offered their own $ -Co’s like @Rippling that did whatever necessary to get ppl paid -Gov for stepping up (at no cost to taxpayers)

This crisis also opened my eyes to public contempt for tech. Income was at risk for hundreds of thousands of avg people, yet we heard about billionaires & bailouts. I dream of a day when we can talk facts, not ideology or political points.

@ericsyuan our company lives in Zoom. Quality is great, but daily experience is frustrating. Would switch immediately if there was a good alternative.

Today, Amazon delivered my groceries, streamed music on Alexa for my kids, & powered @brightwheel via AWS. Amzn can do all this bc of a strong culture + way of operating. Happy to share how it’s been an inspiration for @brightwheel
