Im surprised at the number of people who don’t think AI will eventually become profitable in the same way that Uber and a bunch of other companies became profitable in the past decade e.g. enshitification after they become the standard.

Never once in my life have I wanted my Bluetooth headphones connect to my closed work MacBook in my backpack but yet it happens every single day without fail. 🙃

Oddly specific but I see so many TikToks that go like:
No one: OMG I'm you're a doctor but you go to raves?? 🤯
Doctor: Yeah 🤪
Like ok??? So you like to have fun then. Like everyone else. Why do you need to make a TikTok about it.

I can't believe how much my viewing habits on my phone have changed in the last few weeks. Since Boost for Reddit died I haven't been using Reddit on my Phone and now I stopped using Twitter. The time has now mostly gone to Bluesky and TikTok.

Bluesky, Threads and Mastodon are all trying to create a "decentralized" social media experience yet none of them can actually talk to each other yet 🤔

As much as I dislike it, I see Threads becoming the dominant Twitter clone. It has
#1: Much larger user base due to integration with IG
#2: Largest number of engineers
#3: More brand safety
#4: Easy to use UI

This makes it the 5th(?) Twitter clone in the past few years. It's very interesting how despite the demand for a Twitter alternative, none has seemed to find the success Twitter has.

Democrats still believing that the supreme court is not completely political is like a teenager still believing in Santa. At this point, we just gotta tell them.

My biggest pet peeves is when I'm trying to sign up for a service and their pricing plan just includes "contact sales" instead of actually listing the price. That's not a pricing plan that's just a pitch.
