This guy thought he cooked with selling the metaphor of AI as a creative partner... by using examples of real-life creative partners.
But it's so anti-social to replace a human with a machine that will never be so passionate about an idea that it will fight you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ptgs...

A gentle reminder that AI isn't your creative partner because it'll never call you out and tell you that your ideas are shit.
AI as a creative partner will never create the kind of dynamic that Paul McCartney and John Lennon had, or Jobs and Wozniak, or Michael Eisner and Frank Wells. AI will only ever replace the uncredited PA of a narcissistic auteur.

The first time Sony handed me a MacBook, I hated it.
The second time Sony handed me a MacBook, I tolerated it.
The third time Sony handed me a MacBook, it was an M3 Max, and I actually started to like it.
...And I just bought myself a MacBook Air as my personal computer. What have I become?

I went to Cosumnes River Nature Preserve with @blahajblastoise.bsky.social on Saturday. We were standing ~1ft apart from each other when I took the first picture with my 18-55mm lens, and he took the second picture with his 200-800mm lens. You can see the Merlin at the top of the tree in mine 😂

I'm still thinking about this. On the surface, it doesn't seem like there is a huge difference between playing with physical cards and playing on a screen. But I was learning fine motor skills, I had to know how to set up a game of solitaire, and I didn't have a game engine ruling my actions.
Seeing this on my feed unlocked a childhood memory of learning how to shuffle a deck of cards, and playing solitaire on the living room floor while watching Jeopardy.
I weep for the children whose parents mean well, but are depriving them of tactile experiences without dark patterns.

People were asking if there’s Solitaire behind the dark patterns and… not really? It’s more dark patterns - the Solitaire framing gives them a bunch of unrevealed cards they can determine the value of as needed to either make you win (feels good) or lose (forcing you to spend money to keep going)

Was unloading the SD card in my camera, and found a photo of Rocket, right before he got sick 🥹 I miss that beautiful boy. I think I'm going to get this one printed, to put next to his urn.

It doesn't shock me at all that 10 people who brag about all the sleepless nights they spent excluding humans from the process of making a commercial would be the type of people who would come up with a jingle that is so anti-social that only tween boys would like it.

A few weeks after I moved into my house back in June, we realized that the toilet was leaking and the floor felt mushy. I ended up having to have a contractor rip out the 70 year-old shower and repair the walls and subfloor.
Finally got around to DIYing new floors!

I have been a Windows user my whole life. I remember the switch from Windows 3 to 95, and the frenzy for Windows XP. I didn't hate Millennium.
But I'm going to buy a MacBook as my next primary computer. With the Steam Machine coming out soon for gaming, I have no desire to use Windows anymore.

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic.
Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders.
This is what a rigged economy looks like.

I would like answers, because I want to throw my remote every day when I open Hulu to watch Jeopardy, scroll down, and inadvertently select the "Huludays movies" banner that interrupts the nav flow before getting to "continue watching" section
is there a reason why every single paid streaming service UI has only gotten incredibly worse and less usable over time

Can someone tell me when that Piano Man x Silver Springs mashup that has taken over TikTok and Reels fades into oblivion? I can't stand to scroll and hear "and probably will be for life" one more time, and I'm so angry that it's so viral that it's making me not want to hear two really great songs.

a person making six figures has more in common with someone who is destitute than they do with a billionaire
There are now 2,900 billionaires, and they hold $15.8 trillion.
The wealth of the bottom 50% of the global population, over 4 billion people, is estimated at $3.7 trillion.
