@ichianna Exactly. I'm the same. And when you own the content being sent out an unsubscribe can feel "personal" in a way that it often really isn't.
Every time I send out a newsletter, a couple of people unsubscribe. Years ago this would pain me and I would fret on what I "did wrong". Today I am happy these people are making an active choice to consume content that works for them. Changing perspective can be healing.

In my teens I wrote a great deal of poetry. On my Swedish writing account I just mustered the courage to publish one of my longer pieces… from 1993, when I was 19 years old. x.com/axbomskriver/s…

@augmentedrobot But for construction, healthcare, crime "fighting", weapons or other jobs... I guess all of the above. Future will tell what applications get the most financing.

@osymandus The idea of the robotic gun turret in combination with Spot actually gave me chills.

@rnadworny True. I could hardly remember why I made this 😅 but just found the tweet when searching for something else. They changed their branding from Facebook to FACEBOOK last year, so it was mostly a joke on shouting.
Hyundai Motor Group do a victory dance after acquiring a controlling stake in the famous robotics company. Though no one seems to really have a grasp on why the South Korean company wants to own 80 percent of Boston Dynamics. And pay $1 billion for it.
