Energy on the skyline this morning

My Facebook feed is mostly AI slop photo galleries of “French Country Cottages” with hundreds of comments “So beautiful!” But last night was the first time I caught bad AI in a setup for an otherwise functional recipe. It was subtle and confusing. Too nonsensical to be a typo. AI doesn’t grok food.

POV: You are a weary traveler who stumbled into our tavern and tonight’s dinner is Shepherd’s Pie. 🍽️ @alancrissey.com made the mash. Sit down. Rest a bit. Can I top off your wine?

"Building Trust Anand Driving Results" for your "prodis-focsed" and "taisted solution" These AI-generated infographics with nonsense words are DIGITAL LITTER. I should be FINED for even posting this because it's not worth the energy to host on a server, let alone generate for marketing content.

This! NPS is NOT about sentiment. It asks likelihood to recommend to a friend, hypothetically. Customers will give an NPS score of 0 because, “I love this app but I don’t have any friends.” If you care about sentiment, the only useful part of the NPS survey is the open comments field.

This morning I had a miso latte at Belux Coffee in Roswell. It came served with red miso dust and a little square of seaweed and sesame seed. Salty-sweet delicious! ❤️

SNL 50 was long and chaotic but the 2 minutes of Cecily Strong during Weekend Update had me cracking up “Read a phone” youtu.be/bZaOtydCOlc

Been shopping at Kroger instead of Whole Foods this month and in a lot of ways it’s a significantly worse experience for almost as high prices But I’m also seeing the local butchers more often and getting more creative with my meal planning

For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been setting time to draw with colored pencils every day It’s giving… Elementary School Art Class. But this is way easier than meditation and it’s a good way to force myself to look away from screens for a bit

Low-key perfect late lunch for a launch day 🍽️ 🚀 noodles + butter + Maggi + Grana Padano + black pepper “Improves the taste!”

Too easy. Shopping at Target was already so unpleasant. Bad lighting. Boat-sized carts. Warm cups of Starbucks milk abandoned on shelves. Miles of seasonal crap that will live in your closet temporarily before going to a landfill... Rolling back diversity and Black-owned brands? Good riddance.

Interesting opportunity in tech right now You could basically pick any of the most successful companies, copy what they've built, position it as: "That service you liked, but we don't platform Nazis" and you could probably get to product-market fit

"Major economic collapse" "Recession on the horizon" "Eggs cost $10" My ancestors were hill people and I came of age during the Recession. Worse comes to worst, I can survive indefinitely on grits, chickpeas, pickles, and PBR. Leave me with the Six Feet Under DVD set and text me when it's over.

It’s 65 degrees on a Friday night in February and the whole neighborhood has gone feral Parks full of people, grown men singing out the windows of their pickup trucks like it’s Spring Break

Any Dev Rel friends looking for new opportunities right now? 👀 I've got a lead on an early-stage startup in the AI/LLM dev tools space, hiring a developer advocate on contract. Could be fun for somebody early career or in between things. DMs are open! Would love to connect somebody if it's a fit.

Why do I think talking out loud to an AI wearable is so much dorkier than using an app or taking a photo? I use my phone constantly when I'm out in the world But I cannot imagine SPEAKING to a device in public. Feels so crass, like playing a video on speaker without headphones

Not gonna lie, hearing the words "Copilot now supports agent mode" lights my heart up a little bit We WRUNG OUR HANDS trying to figure out what to name the AI features in Warp last summer and I was pretty worried about whether "Agent Mode" would land Seems like this phrasing has caught on?
