Hi folks!

Kris here, checking in after an introspective weekend in California helping prepare the Future in review conference that kicks off today. I want to share a couple posts and explore some personal philosophies and practices I’ve been finding helpful.

The first outlines 20 Ways to Resist AI's Mind Enslavement - provocative title, I know! But it highlights ethical, mindful ways we can relate to emerging tech, from digital minimalism to supporting open-source projects. I don't necessarily view AI as "enslaving", but do think critically engaging with it is vital.

The other idea I’m exited to share is a prayer that was give to me this summer called "Most Benevolent Outcomes" - setting intentions each day for the highest good and most positive outcome in any situation. Whether it's your morning coffee or making AI more harmonious, articulating desires can be powerful! I share how I use this in my own life and some of the prayers I say each morning.

Would love your thoughts on either piece! And if you want to continue the discussion, join my Friends of Krug Discord server using this invite link. It's a space to connect on topics like AI, tech, creativity and more.

Onwards!
Kris
