Who'd have guessed this sticker would fill me with nostalgia about the good 'ol days? (I got this at a University of Georgia football game in 2015 that Jeb attended to spread the word about his candidacy. He seemed to have pretty good energy to me, but then again, I'm not a right-wing looney. )

I'm sad about this. The @washingtonpost.com has been part of our media portfolio for years. It's unfortunate that Bezos is interfering editorially. I think he's a brilliant guy and should just stay in his lane -- which is business. Pretty soon all we'll have is random podcasters and tiktokers.

From hunted to hunter (rabbit to eagle).

My experience with AI video has been only so-so. This one was created with Sora and is pretty good.

Back when @mcuban.bsky.social was just a scrappy startup founder. I think this is from when he stopped by our booth at Internet World 1994 or ‘95. Who knows maybe the number still works. (Hope not for his sake).

Did you know that you can "plead" with ChatGPT to change its policy? I wanted to find a song with lyrics that reference sunbeams. It initially said "sorry can't do that" but then I explained that Claude let me and it said, "oh, OK, here you go.." Very weird.

It doesn't fit with the hype cycle right now, but #DeepSeek image creation (Janus Pro-7B) is crappy. (prompt: Create an image of a man with a short beard wearing a cowboy hat, leather jacket and leather boots standing in front of a wooden cabin with snow capped mountains in the distant background.)

Ditching Meta and TikTok. Help me get some traction here. (Currently frustrated by the size and length restrictions of videos. This one took me three conversions to get under 50MB at 480p.) Plus my feed/connections aren't that active and valuable yet. Please help me make this work.

Shout out to Mycoterra Farms. This bumper crop of Lion's Mane mushrooms is from their mail order kit. It took about 3 weeks, but well worth it. See mycoterrafarm.com

This post sparked a lively debate on LinkedIn. I’m still hoping to make more connections here so I figured it’s worth cross posting to see if I get any comments. How do you approach videos — script, talking points, impromptu or something else?

Given META/Zuck are capitulating and kissing the ring, I hope BlueSky can gain more traction and maintain a character that stands in contrast to the coming tsunami of misinformation we’re sure to see on FB, IG & threads.

"Be a specialist, not a generalist." ⇦ This advice may be out of date due to AI.

I've seen a growing number of posts and examples highlighting the ways that generalists are best suited to leverage AI tools to create business or services.

I'd be interested on know if you guys agree.

The Luigi Mangione story is a bigger deal than just a manhunt and prosecution. Mainstream media is missing the bigger point and movement. It’s brought to the surface the deep frustration and resentment of our current healthcare system and income disparity.

Hello Mr BlueSky please tell us why…. your videos aren’t so long (I know that’s a tortured ELO reference that I’m sure millions of others have made).
