I'm not sure what fascinates me more about this image: the QR code to pay for the weighing machine or the fact that you have to duck a bag of Funyuns to stand on the scale.

Engineering morale must be falling faster than Facebook's user numbers.

Many things wrong here:

1. Clearly promotional material ends up in Updates rather than Promotions

2. Breaks the unsubscribe pattern set by the same company.

After failing to convince me to install the app again, Instagram spammed my inbox constantly about what I was missing out on. Unsubscribed from emails only to realize they're spamming me on WhatsApp now.

There's no escape.

Who in Google Pay thought this was a good idea?

Market Research is an interesting thing to try. Timed it late unfortunately.

Chrome's AI assistance feature is fantastic.

The magic bit is where the AI changes the CSS dynamically to test out a hypothesis. Surely one of the best examples of great AI-assisted IDE features yet.

Hey @anthropic.com why do compute credits have a use-by date like produce?

I'm now seeing referrals from ChatGPT on my Substack, which would be cool, but I picked a setting that prevents AI training on my data.

Hope this new year is sane, and absent negativity and cruelty.

Meta is testing a talk to an AI bot feature 🤦🏽‍♂️

Who asked for this?

65 billion in AI spend and meta can't solve this problem.

They don't. Most use whatever they can get to quickly. Usually whatever is bundled on their device.

For this week's Full Album Friday listening session, I'm picking Fear Inoculum from Tool. Such a masterpiece.

Kicking off a new trend called #FullAlbumFridays. It's simple: listen to an entire music album on a Friday, just as the musician/band intended. Listen to it while driving, walking, doing chores, cooking, etc.

I'm starting with American Idiot by Greenday, released 20 years ago.

Corner House Ice creams in Bengaluru has managed to stay timeless. I realized yesterday this company is older than me.
