What is this? A pint for ants?!

I've been thinking a lot about the future of user experience and what it looks like when commerce becomes AI-native. Had a great "cheeky chat" with @jonathan_arena from New Generation about exactly that—the future of commerce, the web, and creativity.

@askOkara More like an AI SEO agent TBF

@benblumenrose This is still hard IMO. But I’m picky.

[Ben Blumenrose @benblumenrose]

This is a good one - spoke to @jonathan_arena about everything from what skills designers need now to why starting a company is the “best expression of a designer’s intuition”.

@rsms Inter is the typeface I spend the most time writing with. Truly excellent.

@bchesky Additions to stay — things like cars, kayaks, bikes, boats, pre-provisioned fridge, childcare, spas, dinners. Could be provided by host, incremental revenue for them.

[Jonathan Arena @jonathan_arena]

@bchesky Reno / furniture partnerships for hosts to spruce up and outfit their homes (Airbnb host discount for Herman Miller, Etc.) Data / suggestions around these improvements shared with hosts.

@bchesky @eriklonnroth Has the Hotel Tonight acquisition impacted this feature?

@rsms @usehonk @maxvoltar I don’t understand why this exists. It’s just a feature.

[Jonathan Arena @jonathan_arena]

@kocienda While I understand your sentiment, I don’t really see that as the job of an MVP — different purpose entirely. You need some way to get confident signal so that you can get to that “great product” milestone. It doesn’t just happen. MVP is a moment in time.

@bastianpurrer I think FB probably does a decent job at removing bots from their growth numbers. And while I agree with you, I'd say the "your friends" circle was probably on facebook more than 5 years ago, so growth has been coming from elsewhere.

[Jonathan Arena @jonathan_arena]

@rsms Why don’t you pitch it to them.
