It’s safe to say that Twitter has changed a lot from when I first started using it. When I first started using Twitter in 2008 it felt like an amazing tool for connecting with new people. Twitter made...

It really sounds like they thought "people will switch because we are big-company Amazon" when it's more like "users will only use Amazon products if there is absolutely no viable alternative".
I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

I don't buy the AI narrative around prosperity for all. There is plenty of money to go around yet it tends to flow to the top. I can't imagine a world where those in control of AI, assuming it actually works, will resist charging an ever increasing subscription fee cementing the haves and have nots.

Hello, friends! After 10(!) years of #AdventOfCode, I've made some changes to preserve my sanity: there will be 12 days of puzzles each December (still starting Dec 1) and there is no longer a global leaderboard. Read more:

I just continue to see really disappointing results from AI tools. Gemini just analyzed my home power consumption spreadsheet and told me that I've made nearly $650k in power generation from the solar panels on my house so far. Um, no.
