Spending in America has shifted. Quietly.

There’s a growing divide. The biggest opportunities go to the founders who can bridge it.

Part 1 of 4.

Last year, we showed the world an AI bookmark. 10 million of you saw it. We've since gone to the drawing board to make something even better. Today, we're introducing Mark II. Pre-order now👇

we’re at the stage of platform shift where impact is a far better signal than growth. lots of “growth milestone” posts these days (rampant adoption now, everyone wants to try everything), but sustained use and retention is the new game

i’m getting a little sick of seeing startup and tech-adjacent UGC.

the rise and repeat cookie-cutter recipes used on launch videos, day-in-a-life’s and just short-form content in general.

it tries too hard to imitate humanity. through all the serif fonts, warm colors, and clip-on mics, it still feels soulless.

2/ hopefully future ai interfaces will include some sort of dynamic data visualizations to show how models process, rank, and retrieve information, ultimately demystifying ai decision-making for users w/o any technical knowledge of ai.

[liesl ☀︎ @geejons]

went to a deep dive event on llms hosted by @michael_chomsky as a ‘non-technical’ designer person & realised how important it is for designers to understand the trajectories of how these models fundamentally work. interesting to reimagine how we should present a model’s output
