In this week’s 10Things issue we’re stretching the edges of culture, tech, and communication. From decoding elephant vocalizations with AI, to poetry vending machines, the role of design in political elections, and the rise (and limits) of social-first brands, this week explores how we create, critique, and connect.
Enjoy,
