The year is 2026. You travel to the US to cheer for your country in the FIFA World Cup.
You wake up in an El Salvadorian prison. Trump mocks your situation on Fox News.
You’re never to be heard of again.
The end.
Imagine writing something like this just a year ago.

One side effect of AI chatbots integrated into apps: they let you easily see what users actually want to achieve, as they’re literally typing it and sending it to you in plain English. High-signal insights that would otherwise be incredibly hard to get.

I certainly didn’t have two presidents being front and centre of a crypto rug pull within the same month on my bingo card. First Trump, now Milei.

Argentina: Milei faces impeachment threat over crypto post – DW – 02/16/2025
The Argentinian president posted about a new cryptocurrency on social media before deleting the post hours later. In that short period of time, the cryptocurrency rose in value before tanking.

It's still funny to me that you have a 3x better chance to resolve an issue you have with a company by complaining and tagging their CEO on twitter than using the official support channels.

People keep dissecting Elon’s “Roman Salute” meanwhile he’s at rallies with Germany’s right-wing party saying there’s “too much focus on past guilt” and “children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents, let alone their great-grandparents.”

This is so spot on. Two things:
1. Being focused on producing output the fastest way possible means that you will never prioritize "going deep"
2. Going deep (and down the rabbit hole) is how you learn more: but you need to balance it.
Figure out how to do both: it's tricky!

I think I finally understand the purpose of SharePlay. Maybe I’m just a boomer, but I can’t imagine anyone ever watching a movie with friends over FaceTime. So I never got that feature.
However, two people watching the same movie wearing a VisionPro in the same room, that does make sense to me.
