I am tired of constantly explaining myself, so on Monday I will put out a comprehensive newsletter explaining exactly why I am so alarmed by the current state of the AI industry, why generative AI is nothing like AWS or cloud compute, and, well, why I think it's all a brittle bubble based on nothing

California should rescue PBS and cover the $1 billion budget. I’ll gladly pay 1% more in tax for that. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

The green screens probably made these shots more difficult.

To become a member of the wealth class you have to hurt so many people and behave so atrociously that you become paranoid that karma will turn back on you.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

Remix is just a field that grabs the Title or Slug value and modifies it based on the rules you set. It's that simple.

I imagine there's a lot you can do with that. I'm pumped to see how people use it.

Here's an example from the site I built Remix for, @scriptslug.com.

The title "The 'burbs" is trick to sort because it has "The" and an apostrophe, but should appear under the letter B. I used remix to strip both so that I could sort the scripts alphabetically.

Remix A field that transform titles and slugs with rules you define.

Repost, download, share. Stop the tyrant doublespeak.

Just posted a bunch of my pool models. They're dense for games, but a good starting point!
