Didn’t know about this product 5 mins ago. The talking back aspect is interesting but don’t know how I feel about it just yet. I think whoever wins the smart ring push gets to redefine digital identity validation and authentication
A new company called Sandbar has unveiled a smart wearable called Stream Ring, which uses a microphone to record your softly spoken thoughts. And it’s powered by—you guessed it—an AI chatbot. https://t.co/3ZACxB7NCK
We just launched a new product - @Pebble Index 01
It's a small ring, with a button and mic. Press the button, talk and it saves your thought.
I use it many times during the day to jot down reminders, todos, book recs, etc while my hands are full.
Just $75 - preorders open today
Duh moment-Don’t wait around for others to teach you things while you go through school just because you have teachers and a curriculum. It’s the #1 thing I got wrong. Going out and learning random stuff on your own is a way better method to find you what you actually care about.
Just stumbled across @DanielSLoeb1 and @plaffont X profiles and a couple investing book recs from each. 4 in total. Going to give them a read by the new year and see where they take me
A benefit of having kids early that isn’t talked about nearly enough is giving them the chance to grow up into their 20s with living, healthy, and relatively “with it” grandparents
Solution? dumbphones? Social media restrictions? Local parent groups agreeing to not give their kids screens until a certain age? Not sure, but optimistic that there will be some correction away from it all, maybe one I could contribute to. First step is to put it down myself.
First iPhone in 6th grade and now at 24- not looking at my phone when I have a free moment is pretty much an active decision that I have to make. One new year’s res is to make picking up my phone the active/friction decision. Im just not producing nearly enough.
Hugh Grant: "It's been very, very depressing watching Big Tech kidnap their lives, and to see children really finding it very, very difficult to get properly interested in anything that isn't a screen."
And I understand that it’s harder and harder for parents to not cave and let their kids have a screen because “everyone else is doing it” and as a kid that’s among the strongest forces of justification to do something, and consequently resentment if parents hold them back from it
