@benghazi_ebooks Profiles look like AI and none of the names I searched returned results. Super sus

[John @johnnulls]

@benghazi_ebooks and Reid Hoffman on the Board of Directors smh

incidentally, the company across the street, Analex Laboratories looks to be completely fradulent

[John @johnnulls]

@benghazi_ebooks with Tesla, the VA, former Xerox PARC land, SRI and a large fenced-off preserve all adjacent to each other....i wouldn't doubt it

Notion "won" because it made the artifacts presentational and collaborative

and because it mostly viewed "thought" as "work", and built compositional frontends for business-oriented purposes

the same reasons the Google/Apple/Microsoft office suites are durable

[XH @xhfloz]

IMO Tools for Thought was a warning shot to show the folly of creating systems that were only ever used to improve said system — or worse: unused & only ever theoretical

Building with/on AI has a much much more addictive game loop & deceptive plausibility trap. Godspeed

we still need new ways to digitally represent the business card, poster, pamphlet, book and textbook

we still need better means to craft beautiful and useful digital artifacts, assemblages of graphics and text, and surfaces of expression

hyperspace must have elegance and grace

[John @johnnulls]

if "the squeeze" is read to be a venture-backed or bootstrapped effort to commercialize generalized thinking tools

and "the juice" is monetary rewards

luckily, there's still plenty of other reasons to want to build these types of software

"corposlop"? "slaved"?

for Pete's sake, drop the act

or maybe the act itself is for Pete's stake

[John @johnnulls]

@Y2K_mindset something metaphorical in his story ending in such an absurdly jarring yet fleeting way. him being tasked with becoming internet famous to get a record contract, and the resulting vanity-fueled "hyperart", absurd for attention's sake
