The theme of this week is backups. “In Computing, Politics, and Micromobility: Always Have a Backup” Whether you're talking about global IT infrastructure, American democracy, or how one gets around Portland, always—ALWAYS—have a working backup strategy. 🤓 My latest issue of the Cycles Hyped No More newsletter: https://lnkd.in/g_k25D-E

Wake Up Call 🚨: The Future of Your Privacy I know no one wants to hear this now, but one day, you’ll wish you had. ⏳ As #SpatialComputing evolves, it’s set to replace mobile computing, making your spatial data everywhere and deeply personal. 🌐 If we keep handing this data over to big tech, we’re sleepwalking straight into a @blackmirror episode. 🖤📲 Check out these episodes for inspiration: 1.

For my business and technology partners, Q-Day is coming! There is an MIT calculator in this article that shows when Q-Day is anticipated. Google and others show this happening as soon as 2025!

A very relevant article by SpiderOak Mission Systems Executive Chairman Charles Beames in Forbes this week titled: “Why Kennan’s Containment Strategy Ensures Defeat in the 2nd Space Race.”  In it Charles argues that Kennan’s strategy to contain the USSR was brilliant when national security was largely measured by lines on a map, whereas today power no longer exists solely in the physical realm, in fact most of it exists in the digital world, in e-commerce, networks, apps, and contracts stored in the cloud and that basing our security in space on Kennan’s approach is not just inadequate, it’s dangerous because it creates the illusion of security without ensuring it.

Please take the time to read digitalistpapers.com We are approaching — actually, in the middle of — one of the most transformative moments in human history. The Digitalist Papers will help you think about it all, why it matters & what the future may hold.

This is the final episode of a trilogy of critical conversations about the digital revolution. Earlier this week, Gary Marcus explained how to tame Silicon Valley’s AI barons. Then Mark Weinstein talked to us the reinvention of social media. And now we have the former member of the European Parliament & current Fellow at Stanford’s Cyber Policy Center, Marietje Schaake, explaining how we can save democracy from Silicon Valley. In her provocative new book, Tech Coup, Schaake explains how, under the cover of “innovation,” Silicon Valley companies have successfully resisted regulation and have even begun to seize power from governments themselves. So what to do? For Marietje Schaake, in addition to government regulation, what we need is a radical reinvention of government so that our political institutions have the agility and intelligence to take on Silicon Valley.

In a move that seems to nod to a digital battleground showdown, Amazon’s cloud-computing mega-force is plowing new technological furrows for Australia’s government. Now, imagine AWS servers churning out more than just purchase recommendations and movie suggestions—they're about to become the backbone of Australia's defense communications and data analysis prowess. Why is this worth your attention? - **Geopolitical Pawns**: This partnership supercharges Australia’s capabilities, essentially upgrading their info-sharing and analytic game. It's not just data, it’s DNA—digital national advantage. - **Defensive Resilience**: What once was fragmented and fragile data communication will harden into a cohesive and fortified digital infrastructure. It's like taking armor-piercing rounds and giving them a cyber shield. Could this reshape international norms? Most definitely. We’re looking at a future where cloud-computing firms aren't just selling storage; they’re selling sovereignty. Here's a take: 1. **Tech Diplomacy**: This U.S.-Australia collaboration signifies the dawn of tech diplomacy where cloud; not ground, becomes the new defensive frontier. 2. **Data is the New Ammunition**: In what feels like a thriller’s plot, state-of-the-art data analysis isn’t just business jargons anymore—it's a key player in global intelligence and defense. Yes, we can expect the weight of Amazon’s involvement to send ripples—if not tidal waves—through international tech and defense channels. Who gets worried first—Russia? China? We shall see. With AWS locking hands with Australian defense, are we also foreseeing a new form of information alliance? It's about to get murky under these clouds. Fasten your seat belts; the future of global defense frameworks is reshaping, one cloud at a time. https://lnkd.in/emdgfXDV

Sunday thoughts, and something that’s been on my mind and in discussions in class as well. The power of technology and cyber space in shaping international relations.
