Cars, flying cars, climate change, and what’s the deal with titanium — these are some long form reads that are worth your time (and attention). I read them over the weekend. https://om.co/2024/04/21/what-i-read-this-weekend/

The Humane vs Media psychodrama is interesting. As an ex-media guy I can see where media folks are coming from. As a founder & ex-VC I can see where the builders are coming from. Reality is in the middle somewhere. I have my own theory -- but sadly it is too nuanced for social media. What are your thoughts?

Algorithms feed content, not creativity. How has the campaign for clicks drowned true artistry amidst the noise? My latest article delves into how algorithm-reigned platforms are diluting the creators and their creative output. https://buff.ly/3vy0TZH

With @EU going after US Big Tech, the real question is can/will they go after China Inc. I mean, some of them are just doing "funky" things. New Post. https://om.co/2024/03/25/can-eu-be-tough-on-china-inc/

I am a bit late, but after following the money, here are some thoughts on Microsoft’s non-acquisition of Inflection AI and why certain questions haven’t been asked. https://om.co/2024/03/22/microsofts-brazen-ai-inflection/

While my blog is about technology, I wanted to share some of the articles, videos, and other stuff I enjoyed during this past week! Including a great piece about Ohtani Gambling Scandal and recollections of Prince’s personal photographer. https://om.co/2024/03/24/weekend-leftovers-good-reads-more/

Ever want to know how inefficient a bureaucracy can be, look no further than this law suit from Doh-j — it has taken 5 years or so. And this is the best they can do. This is our tax dollars at work.

All right people can you share some new apps you “love” in Vision Pro? Or want me to try? I am pretty keen on writing about the new new stuff:)

It is only Thursday and I have worn my Vision Pro 40 hours. What is wrong with me? (Or is it why does reality suck?) 😂

Some morning musings about writing, AI and learning to appreciate our humanness. A bit meandering so if you do end up reading it, do it with a cup of coffee please :) https://om.co/2024/03/19/ai-is-changing-writing-here-is-what-to-do-about-it/

Hugo Barra, who was the Head of Oculus from 2017 to 2020 & lifelong VR enthusiast, makes the argument in his essay about the Vision Pro and how it compares with Meta’s Quest devices, & other headsets that are available on the market. Highly recommended. https://buff.ly/3IDDHMp

Our here-and-now industry doesn't dwell on the past too much. But as a reminder, it was a year ago when Silicon Valley had a crisis moment. https://buff.ly/3TcG8uj

The Leica SL Family has a new member: SL3. No, I don't have one, but I had a chance to use one for about 36-hours. Here are my early impressions. 66/366 #AMA https://om.co/2024/03/07/leica-sl3-first-impressions/

A random cafe in Delhi’s (tech) suburb and I overheard more earnest applied crypto conversations including one of an on-chain V2X discussion. So excited to just hear this line of thinking. In 2000, wrote a piece in Red Herring -Backoffice India- I argued Indian startups need to be product-first, not services centric.
