Ben Pasternak was my first boss.
He’s now one of my closest friends. And he is one of the most genuinely selfless people I have ever met.
This week has shown me how profoundly fake social media, the internet, and viral narratives can be.
Amoungst his close circles, Ben is known for one thing above everything else: sharing the love. He introduces every friend to his favorite doctors, his best therapists, and the healing modalities that changed his life (and they definitely changed mine!). In fact, he’s given so many people to his therapist that she barely even has time for him anymore. That’s just who he is.
I also feel that something important is missing from this story:
Since this broke, Ben has received call after call from other men in tech saying “me too”.
Quietly, privately- because that’s the only way it’s allowed to happen. So many men are suffering through abuse in silence. This pattern exists everywhere in tech, and no one talks about it.
If your entire understanding of a person comes from viral clips designed to perform, you are being manipulated- whether you realize it or not. I hope what comes out of this moment is less hate and more awareness.
Behind every viral moment is a human being.
Sending love to all🤍🪷

@minhsmind @carlfranzen Missing the point. I say in the article that I believe AI is capable of taste 🙂
English

I’ve been unconvinced with the narrative that AI is incapable of taste given that taste is a factor of exposure, talent, and mentorship (among other things). All things that aren’t that far away from what are the principles of machine learning, algorithms, etc. Spotify Radio recommends great music for me regularly without direct human involvement.
We are already at the stage where, if prompted or set up properly, an AI can come up with better ideas than the average human.
English

AI can imitate taste. It can't invent it.
Models look backward. Humans look forward.
Thanks to Vogue for the conversation on AI, taste, and what humans still do better than machines.

@9th @carlfranzen What’s preventing AI from getting better at looking at the future? That’s what algos do now.

We designed Olto to be the ultimate bike lane vehicle. Two passengers. 40 miles of range. Cargo capacity. Theft proof. No license, no registration, no insurance. $3,495, about a quarter of what the average used car costs. Bike-lane legal in 50 states.
Olto is now shipping nationwide. To celebrate, we’re launching our Spring Campaign featuring ~100 New Yorkers from all walks of life. It goes live today around NYC and on the internet.
We’re very excited for Olto to be in the world and for all kinds of people to make it a part of their lives. Oh the places you will go.

Olto is now shipping to customers in the United States. We designed Olto to be a new kind of vehicle, a better way for everyone to get around. To celebrate its launch, we photographed almost a hundred New Yorkers on Olto in a single day. Friends, neighbors, strangers, NYC Icons. All shot against a white backdrop, each showing how they'll make Olto their own.
