A vision of a sleek, engineered future contrasts with the stark reality of an uncertain present — reflecting both the hope and unease that come with the rise of AI and automation. As technology reshapes our world and economy, we’re left to grapple with what it means for how we work, live, and connect. There’s a sense of isolation, but also immense possibility. The path forward isn’t about resisting change, but about embracing it with curiosity and purpose. By becoming smarter, more adaptable, and thoughtful in how we use AI, we can not only weather this transformation but shape it for the better. #AI #FutureOfWork #Automation #Futurism #Utopia #Dystopia #DigitalEconomy #AdaptAndThrive #KnowledgeIsPower #UrbanFutures #Flickr
For the record - this is pretty much the real "Leanne". She is joyful, has a serious problem with chair-dancing while listening to music on headphones coworking at hellocovo.com in SF, and is generally one of the most positive people I have ever worked with. With respect, of course, here are a few photos of her mind in action.

Leanne Luce, the Fashion Robot (and a great human being)
Leanne Luce, The Fashion Robot. One of the most knowledgeable people I have ever had the privilege of working with. You can't work with Leanne without learning something new every day. She is joyous, but serious. Smart as all get out, but disciplined enough to apply that brilliance and DO STUFF. Stuff that matters.
The Urban Dictrionary defines "Luce" as
"A Lighter. Derived from the Italian word for light, pronounced Lou-ch"
Yes she is a friend and I am biased, but if there was ever a definition of a fire starter, her first name is Leanne.

2016 to 2017. I lived in this box. Alone. A 317 square foot apartment above Tony Baloney’s deli at the corner of 7th St and Howard.
2k/month. And you are living in a shoe box. In SOMA. With meth addicts screaming in the middle of the night, and garbage trucks, and deliveries. You have to keep your windows open because there is no AC. You can’t install a window A/C unit per your lease. You keep all of your drains closed at all times so roaches don’t crawl up and out of them. (Ever wonder why hotels always close the drain on the shower? Ya, that’s why. Plus sewer gases.) You do your laundry in the middle of the night because the entire floor shares one ancient coin operated washer and drier.
This is the the reality of being over the age of 25, on a limited budget, no car so you walk or BART or Uber, and you are trying to start a security robotics startup in SOMA alone to stop school shootings, or at least mitigate the damage and help people fight back.
As I type this in January of 2020, this goes down as my biggest and most expensive business and humanitarian failure as I was unable to get funding. Even after building 3 prototypes and pitching every VC I could track down and having successfully built two previous companies into the millions.
You bet big. You fail big. Getting back up is a bitch.

Prototype 3, SOMA Robotics defensive robots to prevent and, or, mitigate school shootings. Intelligent use of AI and ML to identify an out of place incident, subject to human over-ride, but AI based immediate response to a gunshot based on mutiple sensors with a non-lethal secure response to help people escape or fight back.

This is a photo of the more aesthetically pleasing installation box. Apparently earlier prototypes looked too much like Velociraptors and didn't convey the "we're here to protect, not provoke message" as intended.
