Feeling compelled to add to #Thursgate. Always fancied this one

[Hunter SPX Thompson ❎ @CoorsLightCEO]

Waymos marching to their own death, oblivious of what is to come. Acting out of duty, for it is all they know. Much to think about

Oh yeah this is a masterpiece

When you are outside, look around at al the people. It is extremely likely that every single person you see spends 2 hours a day watching short form videos served algorithmically. After a 2 hour mind fuck dopamine slop goon session, they don't even remember what they watched

Doordash your slop bowl. Get extra guac. Pay for it with Klarna. Default on the loan. Eat at your desk. Never stop looking at your screen. Create shareholder value.

30 seconds on Mars. Enjoy this recent look, courtesy of @MarsCuriosity, at the view from the slopes of Mt. Sharp, with the distant rim of Gale Crater on the horizon. You can imagine the quiet, thin wind, or maybe even the waves of a long-gone lake lapping an ancient shore.

RIP Skype, you truly were too pure for this world.

And now...Look upon what we have wrought

A JIRA ad on something that hit you in the balls is pretty much marketing perfection.

Watching apple software get noticeably worse and no one there seems capable of fixing it

You know what can’t be tariffed? A winning smile. A splash of charm. An electric personality that lights up the room.

[signüll @signulll]

it’s unclear to me people understand second & third order effects of tasteful ai visual generation.

most ppl still think of gen images as “tools for artists” when really it’s post art. we’re exiting the scarcity economy of visuals & entering something way weirder—where aesthetics become ambient infrastructure, like wifi. when visuals are free, ubiquitous, & real time reactive, they stop being outputs & start being inputs.

this flips entire workflows & likely impacts every single creative element in the gdp.
