My #collage feed is looking really good at the moment. Last night, I added a bunch more hashtags and custom feeds from the community, and this morning I filtered out a few folks who were a lil noisy or off-topic. You can do all this with @surf.social. AMA! #collagesky bsky.app/profile/miaq...

Wrote about why it's so hard to make an AI gadget that anyone wants www.platformer.news/openai-jony-...

Sent out 200 new invites today. We'll send another 200 each day for the next week and see how things are going. Really appreciating people's feedback. We've made a ton of progress thanks to our testers and early feed builders.

Major surf.social beta dropping today which introduces Starter Sets for the open social web. For example, combine "Tech Builders and Thinkers" with "Tech posts from My Bluesky Follows" to get a personalized tech feed that includes interesting people from Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc.

"Hedge your language. Don’t be too specific. Don’t say 'Trump.' For chief executives, speaking in public has become a tightrope walk. Say the wrong word and it might tick off the White House." www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/b...

GOP kills small businesses and jobs

The Zelens’kyi ambush was antisemitic, and this one was racist. Good presentation here by NYT. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...

Steve Jobs never talked about the incredible new products Apple planned to release at some unspecified date. Actually, you knew they were working on something when he dismissed an entire category as a terrible idea!

I’m smart enough not to underestimate Sam Altman and Jony Ive. But I’m fascinated by the self-praise and expectations-raising in this video. Reminds me of all the videos in which Ive professed astonishment with whatever Apple happened to be selling at that moment. openai.com/sam-and-jony/

I loved talking with @rudyfraser.com. He's one of the most visionary builders and thinkers of the social web today. He helped me realize that the success of the social web is not about killer apps. It's about killer communities. Once you internalize this insight, the entire world looks different.

Had a great convo with @flipboard.com’s CEO @mmccue.bsky.social (who is also a big supporter of and contributor to Blacksky!) about building new kinds of communities that couldn’t have been built before (owning the data, infra, rules) Talk about mutual aid, stuff I’m thinking of building next, etc

Had a great conversation with @jay.bsky.team about the future of Bluesky, which she hopes is a future where Bluesky becomes one small part of a much larger ecosystem: www.wired.com/story/big-in...

Can confirm @jay.bsky.team here: Bluesky has become a great driver of referral traffic. Not demoting link posts is huge, and the community of readers / responders here feels more thoughtful and engaged. X has become essentially worthless for the task www.wired.com/story/big-in...

BREAKING: A massive ship carrying 200 people just hit the Brooklyn Bridge. According to the New York Post, Three people are in critical condition, and about a dozen others are seriously injured.

I’m starting the most ambitious project of my life: Sway, a tech platform to reimagine democracy. I know you've probably got opinions on this – please give feedback and maybe join us! open.substack.com/pub/neo/p/sw...

2 years ago Microsoft set out to spin an early GenAI lead (courtesy of the OpenAI deal) into corporate & consumer AI gold. @austincarr.bsky.social I take a look at how it's gone, how Satya is hedging bets, building new AI models & navigating changing OAI conditions www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
