Countless hours spent discussing, analyzing and experimenting with AI; even starting a podcast with @gavinpurcell.bsky.social to help contextualize the space for a broad audience... And yet, somehow, completely missing this. https://www.tiktok.com/@aiforhumansshow/video/7255108714753985834

Mild Take: When a point of sale screen presents tips in a non-ascending order, it makes me want to hunt for the lesser value. 25% / 20% / 23% ? Sneaky. And likely management’s doing. But feels predatory. Bonus: Saw my first 30% / 25% / 27% today! Inflations out here, turning all the stones…

me: maybe it’s time to phase out social media? also me: 55 followers 55 tweets 55 threads 55 platforms 55 doots 55 upvotes 55 platforms 100 blueskies 100 mastadons 100 musks 55 zucks 55 posts 55 retweets 55 quotetweets 55 rethreads 55 likes 55 subscribes 55 mailinglists 55 promos 55 reposts

Basically Elon is so bad now, Zuck is looking like some sort of hero. And with all the API changes and rate-limiting, people actually trust Faceb— ugh, I mean “Meta”— again. But like, all the Mastadon and BlueSky dorks are whining about it being all brands and grind-set influencers overnight...

Anyone have recommendations/experience with international airlines (say NYC to Portugal or Madrid) with regard to travel with small doggos? Want to bring sweet Wesley for a trip, but it needs to be in cabin and preferably not for a 5k up-charge…

Dearest Sky People: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESOjt2_yJrU This cover of Papa Roach's Last Resort is tearing a family apart. Weigh in. Or don't. Either way. We're over here losing out mind... and our sight.

I’ve allowed an AI complete control over my web browser. It has already (successfully) booked me a dinner reservation at a solid spot. Now, I’ve tasked it to find me an incredible deal on a home in a safe and walkable area. I’m less confident in this task. Albeit, still quite charmed.

I fancied myself a fortunate someone with a handful of “real friends”. Life comes at you pretty fast I guess… *Nobody* told me of the Hi-Chew FANTASY MIX?!? I’ve got to recalibrate some things. And update my living trust. Confirming: Rainbow Sherbet is a GAME CHANGER.

Can’t be outdone by Elon. BlueSky Feature Proposal: SCROLL BOOTH Friction subtly increases with every thumb flick, or X inches of feed traversed. Eventually, the app grinds to a halt, requiring payment. Can immediately backtrack on both length and payment, rather than think through in advance.

I asked GPT to write a story where animals, from house pets to insects, act as visual conduits for our ancestors. The horror. Will share on the pod this week. And will never look at Dr. Wesley the same.

I’m delighted BlueSky is an option, but I really hope they’re open to all, and ready for the next influx. I’m sure Uncle Elon will stub his billion-dollar-toes on the coffee table again, and it’d be great to have everyone be able to rally friends and followers for the next push… Wesley agrees.

rate, limit?!

Anyone else done with Reddit on mobile, now that they did Apollo so dirty? I can’t bring myself to install the official client. Maybe after coffee…

How many posts can I view before the app uninstalls? And are there different tiers of usage based off geolocation, profile picture resolution or lunar phase?

I’m reading of “early BBS vibes” on BlueSky from the elder-set, which is all sorts of exciting. In honor, which door game shall we install first? LoRD (with too many mods) TradeWars 2002 Barren Realms Elite The Pit Searching for me old WWIV key…
