I know the story with Harry Potter was that Daniel Radcliffe couldn't wear contacts because of an allergic reaction. But why couldn't the Lily actors wear contacts to match his eyes?

Give me a single reason why Sora2 should exist.

Hard agree here. This is why I don't use ChatGPT. I don't trust them at all to be responsible with AI.

@caseynewton.bsky.social My 7 year old son is adamantly telling me that you can't say "Ballerina Cappuccina" because it means "God is a pig."

I miss the days when the only reason I knew about Italian Brain Rot was because of you.

Found a fruit nearby. Claude was convinced it was a crab apple (even though the inside looked nothing like an apple). Gemini was convinced it was a guava. ChatGPT couldn't figure it out. Perplexity said it was a feral plum.

Perplexity was right.

In Staples for the first time in forever. There are about 7 people in line, all of them are here for Amazon returns. There's literally no one else in the store.

There are no greater villains on Earth than children at the breakfast/dinner table

The entertainment industry is wild. Just heard about a guy in the 50s (Tad something) who just wandered by a record studio and the execs thought, "He's good looking. He must be able to sing."

Imagine how often that happened with people who ended up not being able to sing.

@cwashington.bsky.social on Bluesky Japan has a wrestling camp for kids where at the end they have a show match in front of their parents to show off what they learned. Thought you'd enjoy this.

This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen

I'm beginning to question, from personal experience, if those who self-identify without diagnosis as #ADHD may just love weed.

Women use ChatGPT as much as men OpenAI's latest economic report says the chatbot use gender gap is narrowing.

Spoiler alert: women are humans in the world.

As far as my youngest kids are concerned, there are only two kinds of people in the world: friends and neighbors.

50 Albums Everyone Should Listen to at Least Once in Their Life, According to Audiophiles | Headphonesty These albums top audiophile surveys for both sound quality and timeless impact.

In true "audiophile" fashion, only 5 of the 50 albums are more recent than 1990, and only 5 are older than 1970.

TikTok has never before served me tennis content and just sent a push about the U.S. Open (right when my wife was watching).

Some might say that's because my phone was listening, but that ignores the fact that she was watching on YouTube TV, under my profile at the time.

LEDGE Modular Notebook Concept Finally Gets Your Creative Chaos Right - Yanko Design Paper notebooks have staged quite the comeback lately, haven't they? Between Bullet Journaling enthusiasts turning dotted pages into personal command centers and designers rediscovering the joy of sketching by hand, analog tools are having a serious moment. Even productivity gurus swear by the cognitive benefits of physically writing things down instead of tapping away on

I love goofy stationary (like my fidget spinner pen), but this just screams unnecessary and over-engineered Midori Traveler to me.

It destroys the idea that "there's no such thing as bad press."

How AI is shaping brand perception and what you can do • Yoast Discover the impact of AI shaping brand perception and how it influences the way audiences view your business.

The wildest thing is this article is so hyperfocused on SEO that it misses the bigger point:

AI thinks about brands like a human would, but with the collective sentiment as the backbone of it. In a world like that, a divisive company doesn't rate as highly.

Having moved from a walkable area to Southern California, how does one find interesting places? If not by walking and just wandering in? Do I have to talk to people or something?

It's insane how common it is in California to see gas stations across the street from each other that are almost a dollar apart in gas prices

Was there a meeting before Black Hat where everybody decided that the '80s and '90s hair metal graphic tees were the way to go for this year?

It's kinda wild that people are learning punctuation as a way to spot AI-generated text, not because it's grammatically useful.

Kortex | The AI Powered Second Brain Finally, one place for all of your ideas, notes, highlights, and writing. Capture any idea, synthesize your workspace with AI, and write notes or documents quick.

I just heard about it www.kortex.co

It's got full sync with Readwise, a clean interface not unlike Obsidian, and (of course) AI everywhere. It's been described as if Google Docs, Obsidian, and Notion had a baby.

The downsides right now are no mobile apps, but they are on the roadmap.

Can't wait for @davidpierce.xyz to test out Kortex. As a notes app junkie who loves Readwise, it feels like they made the product for him.

Today's reminder that AI will confidently lie to you and will then sycophantically praise you when you call it out on being a confident liar

Google learned I want news about Victor Wembanyama and decided what I really want is unsubstantiated clickbait rumors about off-season Spurs trades. I hate it.

Signed up for YouTube TV 4K, learned that literally nothing is available in 4k, and canceled immediately. That's been my last 30 minutes.

I find it truly annoying that Google has a feature to put near-identical photos into a "stack" to clean up your library, but doesn't take the next logical step to let you delete all but the best shot to save storage space. Gotta keep up that services revenue, I guess.

Informal poll.

When you need an MFA code but the timer is almost done, do you:

A) Rush to put in the current code before the timer resets
B) Wait patiently for the timer to reset
C) Throw your phone away to avoid the anxiety

Insane AI fail: Gemini refuses to make widescreen images, so I had to get the image from Gemini, save it to Google Photos, then use Magic Editor on my Pixel so get it wide.

I get Gemini pro for free because I got a new pixel phone, and I still always go to Claude and I pay for Claude because it's that much better even if it doesn't have a voice chat feature or image generation.
