"Before AI slop, there was human slop, and we've got plenty of it..." says Reddit CEO Steve Huffman. "What the platform is good at [for the last 20 years] is pulling the great content out. We've been fighting manipulation for our entire existence!"

The best storytelling hack? Just *say it out loud* 🙃 This forces you to put yourself in the audience's shoes, and helps ensure you don't sound like an informercial.

"The hard part of my job isn't getting computers to do things. It's getting *people* to do things." -Sublime's Sari Azout

i appreciate the storytelling meme but tbh it's just the new content marketing 🙃 the real lever (that i try to practice) is feeling confident it's going to achieve all of your startup goals *long-term*, from recruiting to product strategy & selling investors on USP.

How do you build a moat as an AI wrapper? Assume the big guys will come after you, says Harvey's Winston Weinberg. How would you defend it? Even if it means giving up ground to other startups, planning for disruption is the best long-term plan.

Harvey's Winston Weinberg does interviews in Google Docs to weed out the "good talkers." Goated.

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...

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.”

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
