my son spends most of his spare time playing fortnite and buying skins and emotes with v-bucks. he naturally gets crypto and doesn’t even realize it yet.

disappointed that most of reforge’s artifacts are now behind a subscription paywall. last time i looked you just needed an account to access everything.

if everyone at amazon is in the office, who’s going to be home to receive their amazon deliveries?

i’ve found ai notetakers to be really useful in helping me be present in a meeting but still get all the takeaways. they definitely change the dynamic and the conversation, though—not in a good way.

i’m not surprised apps like this are starting to emerge, but the idea of having your own private social network full of ai bots is a little disturbing. for me, social should be about human connection and conversation. yes, ai can be useful in helping us unpack our thoughts and feelings (i’ve got my own personal coach gpt that i use pretty regularly) but faking a bunch of followers feels like a step too far.

It now seems obvious that the current era of software, where everyone uses the same version of an app, is going to end. Our current model of software development is highly bespoke, requiring a single team to focus their entire resources on creating a generalized experience that works for everyone. This was a natural result of the bottlenecks around software and design talent inside of companies. A bottleneck that is now disappearing as users gain the ability to modify interfaces themselves. In the near future, users will expect and demand the ability to modify their app while accessing the same underlying data. This will start first on open networks but eventually transition to all interfaces. Most users won't make major changes. But some will, and those changes will be pushed upstream and fanned out to others if they are useful. This change will massively increase the speed of iteration and complete a darwinian process as new mutations emerge and propagate across the network.

it’s not just popular culture that’s been eaten alive by tech, it’s also unpicking all of our shared experiences—something that’s especially dangerous when it comes to politics. great article by @daojoan.eth on the impact of personalisation on political discourse. https://medium.com/westenberg/how-personalization-is-fragmenting-democracy-cf955c2569d7

people here seem pretty interesting to me. and there’s plenty of interesting content—more than threads and mastodon, anyway. i’m already enjoying it as much as twitter back in 2008.

streaks are incredibly effective way to drive engagement with a product. someone at my work started learning english on duolingo (they’re a native english speaker) just to keep their streak alive. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/article/2024/sep/08/streak-daily-ritual-can-enrich-your-life-or-become-unhealthy-obsession

you need to get the balance right—the greatest strategy in world is worthless if you can’t execute on it
