➡️ We held an engaging Holiday Zoom with our community, where we created our own AI Holiday Cards. From designing festive (and let’s just say… creative) prompts to sharing technical approaches, our members collaborated and learned together. At SiSo, even holiday fun is an opportunity for skill-building and connection.
➡️ We hope that you, our amazing Newsletter Crew, are taking time to rest and recharge for the holidays. We’re busy at SiSo, with the launch of our video-first Shadow-based upskilling platform just weeks away. Follow us on LinkedIn & Instagram for launch content.

If you have some extra time this holiday week ❄️, listen to this quick but packed audio-article about life before the internet open-sourced archives, memory, and identity. How does our desire for knowledge and belonging transcend relationships, communication methods, and technology?
🗯️Quotable Bit: “Greene had the vision and creativity to see that the library could tell a story. Not so much about the accumulation of stuff but about man’s deep desire for knowledge, and thus truth.”
