You dont have to drink but you should try going to a dance club with good music

Swagless dorks are dictating culture and that is why things feel so terrible right now.

@mrgretzky The unit economics simply cannot hold up. As with all other B2C Products, Ads will have to be a revenue driver for the free-tier users.

Not only is this true, but depending on the subgenre it's also electronic *dance* music. Miami bass, Jook, Jig, crunk, Atlanta bass, Hyphy, and both waves of jerk are all electronic dance music. I'm not even including genres influenced by hip hop that are widely considered EDM,-

I have probably reduced 80% of the notifications that hit my eyes over the last few months. I feel a much stronger sense of agency with how I engage with the devices I use on the daily. Most are not important; the information will be there regardless of the Call-to-Distraction.

Notifications are the starting point of the ever increasing amount of low quality information vying for your attention

LinkedIn will give you 12 notifications and not a single one will matter

Unbelievably Tough. Keeping this logo at the start of the Xbox era would have made the OG Xbox aesthetic even harder.

Microsoft’s logo from the 80s is a masterpiece

@menhguin Aspirational Lifestyle Product as a SaaS Product is an interesting angle, it seems like the best way to position the business given the target demographic.

this is why i stopped using pinterest!!! we’re all using the same dataset so we all stealing and using each other’s swag in like a cyclical regurgitation kinda way we need to go back to moodboarding irl using magazines, books, records, fabrics, etc

[ad.mp4 @_adandiaz]

@buffalodnceclub This 100% - everyone's swag is getting too overly derivative because of the data set/information flows we are using. Real-life things you can touch or see, along with real-life lived experiences, have provided me with much more diversity and depth in this aspect.

nostalgia for the “computer room” is often sentimentalism, but I do think the core dynamic it embodies - making the digital a discrete realm; something voluntary; partitioned from the ones rest of life, rather than intruding into every waking moment - is laudable

Klarna was one of the first to go all-in on AI, replacing 700 customer service staff last year.

Now CEO @klarnaseb says they focused too much on cost and hurt quality, so they’re investing in humans again and will let customers talk to real people.

So... the digital world has nearly eliminated friction (ChatGPT writes essays, Meta's AI plays your friend). The physical world drowns in it (Newark airport, infrastructure crumbles). And for those who can afford it, friction becomes an optional aesthetic choice (West Village living, curated experiences).

This is an economic system where frictionlessness is this weird commodity and understanding it is really important. Warren Buffett sees it too. He warned of maintenance coming due as he stepped down this past weekend. The simulation economy can't run without physical infrastructure (as many have said) but we've optimized for short-term ease over long-term resilience.

We've created three separate worlds operating on entirely different rules - and different levels of friction. link in next post, enjoy!
