Think Substack is about writer freedom? Think again. It’s a VC-fueled race for engagement and controversy, and when the money runs dry, we’ll see the mask slip. https://joanwestenberg.com/substacks-ticking-time-bomb

Book recommendation. Napoleon - The Decline and Fall of an Empire: 1811-1821 Worth it for the detail on Borodino alone. Broers is unmatched among Napoleon scholars imho

Put simply: the average user knows they have Siri and Google Assistant, and likely (erroneously) assumes they are already powered by some form of AI; but they are unlikely to know what these assistants can and can’t do, so AI announcements come across as product clarifications more than ground breaking features.

Underrated take: Apple, Google, and Amazon spent years overhyping their voice assistants, so now no one’s blown away by AI features. We all just assumed Siri, Alexa, and Google should’ve been this smart already.

A really cool way to fight AI misinformation would have been to invest more money in public schools like two fucking decades ago but go off I guess
