Tristan Harris's TED talk is amazing. He's been right all along, about the attention economy and incentives that make social media so destructive. Now he lays out the far larger risks of AI, and the "narrow path" that might get us through. Center For Humane Technology ted.com/talks/tristan_…

The conversation around deepfakes seemed to have quietened down for a while, probably because the output wasn’t good enough yet. They’re about to become a huge topic of concern again. You would hope the solution to this is also being worked on in the background

Have to applaud type designers. No matter how many times I think we’ve reached saturation point with GeoSans they’ll always find a way to modernise them by an extra 1% to make you keep coming back.

Ok fuck it, I'll spill — All my friends still single in their 30s? They're hunting unicorns. Somewhere along the way, a man stopped being just a man. Now he's supposed to be your therapist, best friend, passionate lover, future father of the year, financial provider & probably a

A few thoughts and a breakdown of Faith Kipyegon's sub-4 minute mile attempt. Let's dive deep. Why'd she fall short? 8 seconds was too much. All the big boosts (shoe tech, bicarb, etc.) had already been used. So the largest boost she'd get would be pacing/drafting. In her

This tweet has gone viral and we all know why. No matter what Google claims, people don’t like AI Overviews. No matter what Meta claims, no one wants to watch an endless scroll of AI slop video. And no matter what X claims, only maladjusted creeps like its founder think anime

i said recently, and will say it again, that we are on the precipice of an unfathomable wave of brands (fashion and otherwise) using "created by humans" as a selling point and indication of elevated taste

weird cycle happening where people name a 'trend' that is nascent or not actually real, brand people make content about it to position themselves as an authority, and brands pour money into said trend making it bigger, realer, and goofier. congratulations everyone

Dear algorithm, I want a timeline full of artists, musicians, writers, photographers, filmmakers, researchers, comedians, engineers, interesting founders, typographers, architects, dancers, chefs, designers or people who are to talented to have labels at all. Focus on novel
