Now that's the type of AI chat personality I would actually trust. ChatGPT, on the other hand, is beyond creepy. Especially the recent 'humanized' voice chat.

Built a tool over the weekend that turns your #Substack into a link in bio page.

stackinbio.calmfluffy.com

Works with any substack. And it's free, as it was just a small vibe coding experiment.

Enjoy! •‿•

Oh, so I can open the album in Apple Music by first opening iTunes inside Apple Music and then clicking the Listen Now button which takes me back to Apple Music in Apple Music?

In most cases, btw. Not in the case of this album. The Listen Now button does nothing when you click it.

Apple Music's interface must be the most confusing out of all streaming services.

What do you mean, I can't navigate to the album by clicking on the title? I can't go there via the context menu either? iTunes still exists? Oh, it's the only way to navigate to the album?

Agree, but surely there must be a more diplomatic way to phrase this, given that many of Ghost's customers probably fall in that group.

I find the AI optimism gap to be such an interesting phenomenon. The disparity among gender is worth noting here, too.

📵 Thx to all the friends who unwillingly take part in my phone-free month experiment… meeting up requires a bit more careful coordination. 😅
