Why is Mr. Altman going to Washington?

  • Because Microsoft told him to go and lobby

  • Because lawmakers told him to come and explain

When horses became obsolete because of cars, I'm glad there were people lobbying and made cars possible today.

I'm fine with lobbying if it's gonna bring attention from people who should pay attention to the fuckery we're going to get into if we let these tools evolve without planning.

It's not like the horse lobby was rallying around climate change a century or two ago, but I really really wish we could've gone easier on the cars. Living in a car-centric city (Calgary) means island-hopping across busy streets to get anywhere, which has an obvious constricting effect on community-building.

More to the point, there's no way that legislation keeps pace this time around. Let's hope we have the opportunity to respond to mistakes while we figure out alignment.

Did you fall in love with a moose during your hike?
