Every day, more and more of the things I was writing about, obsessing over, working on pre-pandemic - advances in AI, neural implants, even printing poems on blockchain - come to pass. The world is catching up, waking up. Some of us have been here all along. #technelegy https://t.co/2KBkZHWRs1

this is a remarkable achievement for poetry, for bitcoin, and for Ana, of course! i believe blockchain provenance will continue to impact a wider range of disciplines beyond poetry in the coming years. https://t.co/k3oU15QZpU
