I’m launching Sources, a new publication about the tech industry’s inside conversation, and Access, a tech interview podcast with my friend @hamburger.bsky.social. The first issue of Sources drops tomorrow, featuring an interview with Mark Zuckerberg, which airs in full on Access this Thursday.

mornings with friend

happy monday nerds

Don't miss this Decoder episode with @hamburger.bsky.social There are few people who can clearly see an industry from both inside and outside at the same time. Ellis is that with tech & culture. www.theverge.com/decoder-pod...

I’m guest hosting the Decoder podcast for the next couple of months, starting with this chat with the one and only @hamburger.bsky.social www.theverge.com/decoder-podc...

@diegoarguello.bsky.social lovely piece on DS2 🙏

@plante.bsky.social adored the DS pod man 🙏

crunch is a thing men do because planning requires them to be honest with themselves about themselves

nobody does it like TE 🥵

I don't appreciate these kinds of jokes

As sweet as falling in first love

me: closes bluetooth headphones case Tim apple: for your convenience, I have opened Apple Music for u 🙃

New Raycast Focus is annoying the shit out of me. (But I just wrote a whole manifesto in 60 mins) Wow thank you @raycast.com 🤣🙌

in the same way that once all social apps got a news feed and then stories, all social apps will have a video feed too as always, what matters most is the network (not the features)

it is unbelievable how useless this is

Watch Duty isnt good bc its filing gaps created by "platform decay", its good bc it doesnt have a business model that incentivizes it to be bad

Curious to see what @jsngr.bsky.social and co are building w mainfra.me Lots of AI junk out there, this (w help of @hamburger.bsky.social) doesn’t seem like that…

“The "wrapper" around the AI is often the difference between a delightful experience and a great demo that is disappointing to actually use.”

why

Welp it was a…. interesting run. Turning off Apple intelligence message summaries as they create more cognitive load than they save lol

iPhone vs Film

No healthy upstream

not the way to launch a new ad product 😬

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

what kind of basic am i

not to fanboy out on Every today... but wow their sparkle app just Marie kondo'd my Downloads folder so hard

Every.to looks like the future why would anyone creative stick to one discipline alone? the real prize is 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈

New dune sounds bad

perplexity's emphasis on actual use cases will give it a big edge against other AIs that say 'well you can do anything with it' hand-crafting use cases ≠ making it unscalable. there are only a handful of use cases that even exist for digital products! techcrunch.com/2024/11/18/p...

Unbeatable bumpers

All u need to know about headlines

love this admission from Brian chesky: “Over time lots of founders just get bored of their core product….” https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/decoder-with-nilay-patel/id1011668648?i=1000612357015
