Something I wrote in 2013:
"Each new generation figures out a new way to turn lead into gold, and to become wealthy while damaging the financial system. Some of these wizards are probably perfecting their financial alchemy right now."

No gonna lie, waking up in country without TikTok feels pretty good. I feel bad for the folks that made a living on it, but I feel like we’ll adjust and be better for it.

Google rolled out Gemini to all Google Workspace customers. It's supposedly a smart assistant.
Yet to be able to ask a question to which the answer in not:
"I can't help with that. Do you need help with anything else?"
Good example of over-promise, under-deliver.

This is wild.
LinkedIn is losing it. They are using AI-generated fake profiles to push ads, disguised as direct messages into the inboxes of everyone... including paying customers like myself who already pay ~$600/year for LinkedIn Premium.
What a low. (This is real, from my "inbox")

Just a reminder to those who are reflecting on the less than lovely healthcare industry, that UPMC execs did this is 2024:
UPMC executives gave themselves raises and flew in a private jet while slashing jobs and raising fees
City Paper with UPMC employees, patients, and local leadership to get a clearer sense of the disconnect between UPMC’s jetsetting executives and recently laid-off workers.
