Brad, you speak my love language. Message from the Country, amirite? Named my son “Bruce” so he could bring em down.

Srsly DMs on this? We’d be fast friends. I’ll find a way.

Agree. But just a thought that we’re not likely to be in the age social media anymore. Still, glad to think with you out loud.

I agree

Haha. A lefty, I read “right-hand” literally for a split sec. 🖖🏼

Yes, it has already happened.

The next bit is what I’m curious about. Those private, personal questions mined by llm co as a prioritized list of products matched with certainty to young users.

The nature of Dischord convos might not lead to the same stream of desires. Also not sure of their TOS.

This sounds like the “stay hungry” half of “Stay hungry; stay foolish.” Might add “Bump into the walls” to balance it out 😉

Kids sort of forced off of a more social web and into a more private dialogue (AI or DMs), and wondering about the repercussions of that.

I wonder if there’s an intersection with this thought: bsky.app/profile/roys...
An insight from a recent project: kids that use LLMs for homework will continue to use LLMs to solve bigger life problems as they exit high school and college. A lot of convos that would have previously happened on social networks will become “private” in every sense of that word.

Private as in no one else knows.
Private as in secret.
Private as in owned by the LLM Co.

The Co will know all the private desires, and can then launch timely products and product integrations knowing the priority of need/wants.

We’re all just waiting for that tipping point 😬

I bet you know this already, but, just in case, you pay more interest (and much less principal) at the beginning of the mortgage.

Trying to remember the order of events:
- something with @zeldman.bsky.social
- something when all the web folks started wearing the space helmet
- people citing Atomic Design
- don’t you play drums?

It’s gross, but having lived in NYC, I think of all $1s on the ground as “poo dollars.” It’s the cost of someone doing their business.

Aside from hardcore tools (VisiCalc, Finder, MacPaint, GitHub, Photoshop, etc) Paper is/was the very best app ever made.
