Interesting how the 👍 emoji went from meaning “I like it!” to “Whatever…”

Meta is adding weird AI buttons to all of their social products, instead of building something obviously useful: the ability to summarize a conversation.

This is an incomprehensible UX decision. Imagine interacting with a human like this.

I know it doesn’t look like it, but I’m building an app *right now*.

1. I’m relaxing at Café Vólta.
2. I send a Slack message to @Cursor.
3. Cursor spins up a background agent.

Are BlueSky forcing the poor bot developers to name their creations “Gabby W”?

Vibe coding has opened up iPhone (Swift) development for me. This is one day of coding: a 4-player, one-device game.

It’s so confusing with the Remix to React Router v7 migration.
So now I should use “React Router v7 Framework Mode” for new apps? This is purely a branding issue, I preferred “Remix”.

Here are my prompts for ChatGPT + Cursor for:

1. Building a new feature in an existing app.
2. Building a complete app from scratch.

This should be getting more attention:

🌍 An OECD report (from last week) shows that stronger climate plans lead to real economic growth (and social benefits).

Did I just miss this or why wasn’t there a bigger news splash that AI passed the #TuringTest?

www.livescience.com/technology/a...
OpenAI's GPT-4.5 is the first AI model to pass the original Turing test | Live Science
GPT-4.5 has successfully convinced people it’s human 73% of the time in an authentic configuration of the original Turing test.

Reopening an old #Minecraft world me & kids haven’t touched in six years. We pretend to be archeologists as we discover old settlements we built and old tools left behind.

Anyone else noticing that ChatGPT is replacing their note-taking app (mine: iA Writer)?

Especially since they introduced projects (which I use like folders).

Is it only me that sees a phone with a band-aid? Ok cool.
