Talked with @sandofsky.com to confirm we don't have to worry about the future of Halide, and Mark III looks really interesting.

There's nothing like the relief of shipping an update over a year in the making. It's like passing a kidney stone of the mind.

Despite the cultural significance of the Leica photo from the ICE protests, it keeps getting deleted from /r/Leica because the mod is MAGA. Folks have taken to posting on /r/LeicaCameras

Contributed a few thoughts to this story about how the latest Nano Banana model appears to imitate a mobile phone camera for more believable results.

Even if you hate generative AI (👋🏻), still pretty interesting!

Google’s AI model is getting really good at spoofing phone photos

I feel lucky I grew up watching the explosion of the internet, culminating in the ubiquity of smart phones. Connecting humanity was our generation’s moon landing.

I feel cursed living through the innovation drought. Everything today feels designed to exploit the connected.

I think the people most impressed by LLM knowledge grew up after the web was ruined by SEO and Google was destroyed from within. They aren’t used to typing a question into a box and getting an answer without bullshit.

I’m just so bored of where tech is going. It’s like LLMs sucked all the air out of the room.
