Low- key ruined the the Friday morning commute today. Kept refreshing the podcast app, I thought I must’ve run out of data or something 😭

After 9,000 Microsoft employees were laid off earlier this week, an XBox executive producer shared some Copilot & ChatGPT prompts the recently laid off could use to deal with their job loss.

I’m sure he means well but this is incredibly tone deaf.

Damn, so close

Nike playing Shakira Waka Waka for Faith Kipyegon’s walk out made me cringe

And you thought the Kendrick/Drake beef was messy?🍿👀

Calling it now, the real winner of this series will be Indiana

Karl Anthony Towns, questionable decision maker

Who remembers the 2Pac hologram at Coachella? Kinda glad this didn’t become a trend

Looking for recommendations on an iPad mini case that looks like a book. The top edges on my Dodo case have both broken off after less than a year ☹️

I was secretly hopping for some cool, lesser known story of collaboration but you’re probably right

Can anyone smarter than me explain why the Fela Kuti Highlife: Jazz and Afro-Soul album art has a Māori tiki/whakairo on it? The internet was unhelpful

I find Claude and ChatGPT to be more helpful with my Google product queries than Gemini, which seems counter intuitive

Google has done an amazing job integrating Gemini into its product suite but I find the stand alone Gemini chatbot to not be very good

I think this will ultimately culminate to AI companies like OpenAI paying authors/journalists because the models will constantly need new content and the creators of it will continue to become more protective of their work

You're Being Lied To About 5G | Truth Complex | Business Insider YouTube video by Business Insider

Great video from @businessinsider.com main takeaways for me:

There was big investment into infrastructure with underwhelming ROI

Profits were mainly enjoyed by suppliers of components

The marketed economic value unlock mostly failed to materialize

Technology has transformed ideological persuasion:

If people spend more time online, staying single, rarely interacting with others

- self-selecting into echo chambers, sharing a broad package of ideas -

then don't be surprised if they diverge..

Do we still think DeepSeek was a flash in the pan?

I don’t entirely agree but really appreciate the insight into the gen z number. Times must and always do change but for gen z it feels like the world is changing at break-neck speeds and career security is fleeting fleeting. I empathize with this sentiment

This was a great listen, very thoughtful insights from @draliceevans.bsky.social. I suspect there’s a great conversation to be shared with @profgalloway.com on the social/economic exclusions plaguing young men

@socialmedialab.ca is this something your team will be monitoring in Canada?

Love to see it. Consumers win when there’s more competition

🤮

The implications of this decision will have a long tail of irreparable harm akin to Brexit. A massive step back for the UK and a blow to individual rights to privacy

I didn’t think Apple would actually capitulate. This creates a very dangerous president that could cause to irreparable harm even if it was to be repealed in future. Very disappointing

It’s still too early to understand what impact Deepseek will have on the industry going forward.

The competition that Deepseek has introduced shouldn’t be underestimated. My bet is that it’ll cap how much consumers will be willing to pay for AI products, in turn shrinking ROI on the crazy capex
