Aside from the initial novelty, I find any 100% AI-generated media pretty boring and uninspiring.

AI as a tool/assistant for creation is awesome.

Humans are drawn to the human element, and always will be.

This is going viral on this app and elsewhere, and completely untrue.

If you read the lawsuit, it describes a very standard agreement where Netflix uses Facebook’s API to allow users to message their friends on messenger, directly from the app.

But the truth of course is less…

Instagram introduced a new insight – how many people follow you from a particular reel or post.

I think this is one of the highest-signal metrics to optimize for, a great indicator of whether a piece of content is getting empty views – or really connecting with an audience.…

I am a 1-man operation with very limited time (fatherhood semi-hiatus) but I'm still consistently reaching 30-50 million per month on IG interested in emerging tech.

Once I get back into the swing of things I'm looking to expand and grow aggressively.

Growing a large audience on any social platform can be as easy as finding a shtick — cracking a format or style that works — and riding that wave.

But a wave eventually crashes into the shore.

That’s why it’s so common to see people with a ton of followers with low engagement.…

To me this is the most impressive part of OpenAI's Sora demo.

Being able to change the style and environment of any video with a simple text prompt – with this kind of detail and realism, is pretty surreal.

As someone who creates a lot of videos... this changes things. A lot.

My daughter will be roasting me in 2035 asking me why I put so much effort into my videos when I could’ve just written a prompt.

My great granddaughter will ask me in 2055 why I couldn’t just think it with neuralink.

It can’t be a coincidence that OpenAI timed their world-changing model launch a few hours after Google’s world-changing model launch.

Well played.

And man, I can’t wait to get access to Sora.

The idea of the metaverse is very much alive and well

20 years ago we laughed at the idea of online dating. It was taboo - seen as something for anti-social weirdos.

We might laugh at first when spatial dating becomes a thing this year.

But man, that's going to be the future.

This is what spatial computing looks like in the Vision Pro. One of my favorite early use-cases of the AVP.

Fully customizable work environment on an infinite canvas.

Is this a gimmick, or the future of computing?
