Silicon Valley aired 10 years ago this month. Here’s how I would write the 2024 reboot:

The iPhone camera uses computational photography, applying software to every snap.

This wild photo is an eery example: the subject tries on a wedding dress and each mirror shows her in a different pose.

Why? Apple insider says it’s a “mistake” in the computational photography pipeline:

➡️ “The iPhone camera doesn’t realize it was taking a photo of a mirror, so it treated the three versions of [UK actress Tessa Coates] as different people. Coates was moving when the photo was taken, so when the shutter was pressed, many differing images were captured in that instant. Apple's algorithm stitches the photos together, choosing the best versions for saturation, contrast, detail, and lack of blur.” ⬅️

I’m the head of Google AI ($15.7M TC).

You better believe we’re using this OpenAI news to make rapid advancements and go on the offensive.

As soon as I’m back from PTO for Thanksgiving break (December 1, 2023) I will be coordinating an all-hands with my team (on February 5, 2024), where we will put some Q2 OKRs in place to discuss a plan to get to parity with GPT 4 by the year 2026.

Look out, world!

Word of the day is ‘sequacity’ (17th century): the slavish following of a person or cause without any independent thought or judgement.

I once said that customer service is the gap between how the product/service was imagined and built and how customers actually use it.
You would not need customer service if engineers (and service designers) could imagine and build for 100% of all fail and use cases.

Until then, 1-800 should be there to close this gap.

@Geopost_news shops in Stratford (e15) don’t seem to be able to use your digital label system. I’ve been to a few and it’s not possible. Wasted 1 hour walking around with a 15kg package
