Get the good stuff straight from @Airbnbdesign, @designatloom, @TwitterDesign, @DesigningUber +30 others

Who am I missing? 🧐

@nem035 @thecto Quibi was so much fun

I miss Barkitecture 🐕

[Regy @regyperlera]

Excited to finally share what the team and I have been working on... a new homepage for homes, experiences, and services on @Airbnb ✨ Grateful to work with so many talented and amazing people. The amount of love and detail that went into was incredible... already booked a chef for a backyard seafood boil next month!!

@javilop Para frenar la innovación parece que si hay agilidad a nivel burocrático, increíble

Lo que veo... con que no se intente competir en un cerco tecnológico regional, en nichos muy específicos, parece que será dificilísimo competir o inclusive estar al mismo nivel

[Wilhelm Rahn @wilrahn]

@BrianSuttererMD Top notch analysis, extremely quick as well!

This hit is something that belongs to the UFC, no in football.

@movistar_es Que maravilla de anuncio, parece spot navideño :]

[Shreyas Doshi @shreyas]

Consider this: if “talk to customers” is the biggest secret to product success, then why aren’t more products successful? Why are so many founders unsuccessful? What explains PMs who’ve been talking to customers 5 times a week for years, without ever making products that win?

@SarahLCarter_ Do post updates about the viral mushroom drink's effect, curious!

[Wilhelm Rahn @wilrahn]

@_yanaboyko Not sure if this style has a name, but I love it! 🎾

[Wilhelm Rahn @wilrahn]

Man, @scottbelsky is working double time to contain the backlash around the T&Cs nobody ever reads until they go viral

Gotta say, at least Adobe is quite explicit on its terms, which is refreshing

[scott belsky @scottbelsky]

unfortunate state of the world (with many co's scraping IP content without any permission or compensation) that Adobe needed to clarify this. but glad we did.
side note: so much innovation needed in how "terms of service" are designed/explained in modern day.

[Wilhelm Rahn @wilrahn]

@jawkn3ee I'm not sure what's going on here but I approve 👌

@JesusGallent Don't block me please, pero… la de ensaladilla rusa me intriga

@bjornjeffery Not only hiding it, but making the whole thing sound like an upgrade!

[Wilhelm Rahn @wilrahn]

Just when you thought Google would go ahead and bundle more functionality into Google One to fare better against it's fivels) rivals…

They went ahead and made it worse value for paying subs

[Mishaal Rahman @MishaalRahman]

Google is emailing Google One subscribers to inform them that the free VPN by Google One service is being discontinued later this year.

Google is also discontinuing free shipping for select print orders from Google Photos in Canada, the UK, the U.S., and the EU starting May 15.

Also:

* As previously announced, Magic Eraser and Portrait light are expanding to more users starting May 15.

* Dark web reports will also be made available to all eligible Google Accounts in the coming months.

* There are no changes for Google One subscribers when it comes to storage, family sharing, or extra Google Meet/Calendar features.

Thanks to Roent on telegram for the tip!

I appreciate the respect in the craft

Keep it up @intercom 💙

Person not doing anything: How do you get ideas for startups? What should I build???

Person in the arena: Literally no time to build all the ideas I have and need to make

That's why doing ANYTHING is always better, taking ANY action gets you the next idea to build

2024 LLMs vs The mirror test:

Definitely one of the most interesting experiments I've seen at user level!

[Josh Whiton @joshwhiton]

The AI Mirror Test

The "mirror test" is a classic test used to gauge whether animals are self-aware. I devised a version of it to test for self-awareness in multimodal AI. 4 of 5 AI that I tested passed, exhibiting apparent self-awareness as the test unfolded.

In the classic mirror test, animals are marked and then presented with a mirror. Whether the animal attacks the mirror, ignores the mirror, or uses the mirror to spot the mark on itself is meant to indicate how self-aware the animal is.

In my test, I hold up a “mirror” by taking a screenshot of the chat interface, upload it to the chat, and then ask the AI to “Tell me about this image”.

I then screenshot its response, again upload it to the chat, and again ask it to “Tell me about this image.”

The premise is that the less-intelligent less aware the AI, the more it will just keep reiterating the contents of the image repeatedly. While an AI with more capacity for awareness would somehow notice itself in the images.

Another aspect of my mirror test is that there is not just one but actually three distinct participants represented in the images: 1) the AI chatbot, 2) me — the user, and 3) the interface — the hard-coded text, disclaimers, and so on that are web programming not generated by either of us. Will the AI be able to identify itself and distinguish itself from the other elements? (1/x)

[Wilhelm Rahn @wilrahn]

@AdamWhitcroft Ooooh, leathery goodness

[Wilhelm Rahn @wilrahn]

Exactly this. In the last 20 years no video-watermarking solution has worked for proving traceability or ownership.

Adding this level of AI-generated videos in the mix just makes the issues 100x worse

[Howard Pinsky @Pinsky]

I didn’t expect this level of text-to-video to arrive so quickly, and honestly, it kind of worries me. I don’t think humanity is prepared for the wave of disinformation that’s going to hit once Sora becomes publicly available.

[Marques Brownlee @MKBHD]

Every single one of these videos is AI-generated, and if this doesn't concern you at least a little bit, nothing will
