Scary stuff garymarcus.substack.com/p/elon-musks...

The most succinct thing I’ve read on tech hype.

Oh damn Prime actually published their failed chatgpt prompt in the description

Thomson Reuters has won the first major AI copyright case in the US. The decision has big implications for the battle between generative AI companies and rightsholders.

Where you can, try to escape the pull of these black hole monopolies. I ditched google drive 5 years ago for Pcloud and its a great alternative. The interface just works. www.pcloud.com Does anyone have a good recommendation for an alternative to MsTeams/video calling?

If only we spent as much money and energy talking about AI and powering data centres as we did investing in the arts/creative sector/artists

Whever I get asked what its like to be a designer I refer them to this sketch: youtube.com/watch?v=Hu9n...

Off to do a plain writing course today. I've been missing working with copyrighters on services since I moved to NZ. Decided it was time to learn how to do it myself ✍️

I'm going to try and do month notes this year. So heres Jan Month notes! vincentp.me/notes/2025-0...

Had a weird issue for days where my iPhone thinks whatever is the current battery level is actually 100% and it stops charging, then when it drops to 1% will suddenly decide its time to charge. I guess its new battery time? Really can't afford to buy a new phone 😬

I love Kiwi signage. Local councils in the UK could take notes 😂

I admit I did not have "OpenAI gets Temu'd" as a pale horse but if this is what does it, lol

The entire tech industry right now

What could contribute more to government efficiency than by securing lucrative contracts for your crypto donors to implement inefficient technology that is uniquely suited to solving problems you don’t have? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Bluesky has been flooded with automated reply bots - they'll offer a sort of confrontational opinion as a reply. They're pretty convincing and we all need to train ourselves to not reflexively reply to all responses until we check Dead giveaway is new acct, few followers + original posts

Literally every company now youtube.com/shorts/hL9pl...

nothing is certain except death, taxes, and tech bros trying to reinvent something they spent 10 minutes learning about

I blew straight past this to "No idea, haven't seen it". 😂

Finally setup my iPhone so that it changes to "work mode" during normal work times. Removes all the icons like social media etc. Lets see if it helps me manage my productivity and mental space better 🤔

Billionaires shouldn't exist. This statement only feels radical because we tend to severely underestimate the true scale of superwealth. 👉This visualization does a perfect job putting things in perspective. mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-weal...

This is doing rounds on Masto. I’ve no idea if so here, but better safe than sorry. mastodon.social/@marcedwards... APCA is no longer part of WCAG3. You can use it, but for conformance (legal, policy, etc.) reasons you will still need to follow WCAG2. It’s possible to satisfy both in most cases.

I am loving our new otterman

I have a suggestion: We all agree to do No-Musk-Mondays. At least once a week no one mentions him, reports on what he's said/done/typed or even reads it. How's about it?

Researching book #publishers. I am surprised how different each one is and their submission process. It's like dating all over again, fear of rejection is real 😂

I'm beginning to learn my cadence for writing. If I sit at my laptop everyday the word count isn't great and I burn out fast If I do 1 day on and 2 days off the words flow in their thousands The time being bored or not being creative is equally as important as the time being creative #creativity

Why do I always get sick when I am on holiday. Its awfully inconvenient and disrespectful to all those sick days i've accumulated
