Search “Alo” on Amazon and you won’t actually get Alo.
You’ll get a dozen cheaper look-alikes, all “sponsored.”
The chaos isn’t bad UX — it’s the ad system doing its job. Every scroll, detour, and duplicate keeps the auction running.

AI progress isn’t linear. It’s doubling its ‘attention span’ every ~6 months. That means going from 2-hour tasks → 8-hour → 32-hour → whole projects in just a few years.
If that curve holds, real white-collar job loss could occur in the 2030s.

Sora feels built around the creator dopamine loop, making your own videos is the real fun. The feed’s still all Pikachu and Sam Altman, but once there’s more variety and music rights from labels, it could evolve from a toy into something that actually competes with TikTok.

Incredibly cool but I wish the demo weren't so squarely focused on productivity. Aren't the medical breakthroughs among the ALS community far more inspiring? I don't need yet another way to hold a meeting with a colleague or to jot down half-baked ideas in the Notes app.

Not terribly surprised by this news. I sincerely felt the sidestepping of Arc was a critical mistake that might accelerate a decision like this. That said, Dia is promising and I hope it, eventually, subsumes the best of Arc.

The Comet browser by Perplexity is impressive. It's got read + write access to Gmail and GCal so I can just say, “Set up a call with Brian,” and Comet reads an email thread and creates a calendar event with all the relevant details.
Bulk event upload is also clutch for my kid's daycare calendar.

The METR study found AI tools slowed down experienced devs in code-heavy IDEs. Makes me wonder if a terminal-native tool like Claude Code—no code visualization, just pure text—changes the equation? Curious if the interface is the real bottleneck. h/t @brianmc.bsky.social
