Anyone else finding that you get slightly annoyed when you have to manually look through a menu to find a setting?

Random/dumb startup idea: a company that produces convincing-looking cardboard fake tanks that can be easily assembled and used as decoys on battle fields for drone strikes

If it’s in a heading, finish your glass.
Reminder: only your customers get to decide if your product is “seamless”, “exciting”, “disruptive”, “a game changer”.

I've started to think of people describing AI products as "like magic" as a bad sign. Magic implies that you don't know how it works and you can't find out. Magic implies it's not auditable or explainable. Production AI won't be magic, it'll be boring.
It's a weird time to be working on an AI startup. The tech is moving so fast, it is hard to keep a grip on whether your startup still makes sense from one day to the next
