Saw Wicked 2 over the weekend. Honestly, it was just boring and predictable.
The visuals were stunning, and the actors were fine. But the pacing was glacial and unimaginative.
Wake Up Dead Man will get a fraction of the attention, but was 10x the movie.

Been waiting for this and so excited that spreadsheets has finally been added. No reason now to keep using Google Drive.

Anyone who thinks AI will "just keep getting better" clearly hasn't seen the steady decline of literally every other technology over the last 20 years.
There's a good chance this is the best AI will ever be.

Is anyone else getting invited to multiple bogus AI Zoom webinar calls EVERY DAY. I used to get them occasionally, but there's been a flood recently and it's incredibly obnoxious.

This is a random snippet from a marketing email that shows AI's real limitations. Because no LLM model is throwing a phrase like "nebbishy spiraling" into an email. That's pure humanity right there.

New Google Gemini update: we can now do more agentic stuff in your sheets and docs!
I make one simple request for it to help edit something in a Google Sheet: "Sorry, I can't do that."
Gemini is easily the biggest disappointment of the AI era.

We can't cede our thinking to AI, but neither should we cede our writing. Otherwise, we get books like this.

Georgia voters: go #vote today.
It's a pretty boring election—two seats on the Public Service Commission. But these local elections really matter.
These people help set our utility prices, which have gone up recently. Your vote matters, especially in "boring" local races.

Last week, I got the first-ever print copy of The Storymancer.
This is always one of the most exciting things as an author.
It feels so much more real when you hold the book in your hands. Can't wait for more people to be able to do the same.
The book is available for pre-order now!

My last book, The #StoryCycle, launched 3 years ago today. So it's only appropriate that I release the cover for my next book, The #Storymancer, this week. Stay tuned!
