  • Not a fan of the continuous scroll article. It is putting more onus on me, making me responsible not just for reading words and examining images, but for triggering animations, setting the pacing, and un-distracting myself when I scroll back and forth to rewatch how the screen interprets various inputs because I can’t help myself.

    Yes, you have to scroll anyway. But scrolling is more akin to turning a page than giving the “See 'n Say” another whirl. I agree with the authors sentiment but wrapping it in an overly complex delivery mechanism has just a hint of irony.











  • I had a revelation the other day. Our IT team (top 500 US company) had an MS exec come in and pitch to the entire leadership team (100s of people) on the MS AI strategy and what it could mean for us. 100% sales pitch and corporate bullshit but our execs sucked this guy’s dick so fucking hard. And it hit me… We’re not a tech company. These IT professionals got stuck in this backward company and wish they were working for one of the big five - where the cool kids work. They don’t give any shits about how or whether AI works at a real level, they’re just cosplaying like they are big time tech bros. That’s it, full stop.

    The more you take logic out of it the more it makes sense.



  • Probably not the place for it, but I’d be good with YouTube dying. And I’m someone who pays for YT Premium (gasp!).

    Something will take it’s place, something better. I think about what it would take to scale to YT’s size from an infrastructure standpoint and the only thing close, I think, are porn sites.

    How great would it be to have HubHomez by PornHub as a YT alternative. Need to work on the branding a bit but I don’t care about the platform. I’ll follow the creators to StreamyFling, a collaboration of xHamster and xvideos. Same infrastructure, different content.

    C’mon porn sites. Do it. Do it.
