I cannot believe the @seahawksofficial.com got Emmanwori
good lord, is this me feeling… optimistic??
I’ve started writing some longer pieces about AI and creative work.
This week: The Ghibli-LOTR trailer, AI copy paste content & why AI tools maximizing our skills for virality and not originality.

Damn it, RIP Val Kilmer
Real Genius sure did mean a lot to us nerds in the 1980s
I wrote some words on why some AI slop might actually be good.
Of course, this revelation came to me after I fell into a TikTok rabbit hole so keep that lil fact in mind.

This might be the greatest sports quote of my lifetime (now that I relate):
Lebron James' response when asked what it meant that he joined Michael Jordan as the only NBA player to score 40 points after the age of 40...
Talked with @barrons.com Jack Hough about AI.
Lot of Deepseek but the stick around towards the end where we discuss the future of Hollywood and AI video.
Little sneak in this of a talk I'm giving at NATPE next week...

Not his fault. I’ll own this.
hahah love it - always helpful to see other versions
def weird to make one
again this is 100% just a starter page but I thought in the interest of collective work why not try to open the door to the world at large for feedback
WHAT COULD GO WRONG lol
gavinpurcell.com is live now -- help me out
what do i want to get out of this?
well, my main business now surrounds the worlds of AI + content (speaking, podcasts, consulting) so prob that should come across clearly but also I've done A LOT of stuff and i'm not the best at self promotion so maybe some help on that?
i'm not entirely sure what a personal website even means in 2025
what i'm asking for here are your thoughts on what SHOULD go on here, what sort of things you or people looking for people like me would want
i'm open to all of it - tone, design, content etc
Weird story but someone bought gavinpurcell dot com like 15 years ago and I never had a personal website...
well, they let it expire and NOW I NEED YOUR HELP
this is the most basic thing for now but I want you to help me make it better and by you i mean everyone
(more below)
Feeling deeply for a lot of people we know personally who lost their houses yesterday. It's insane to see how many homes are just gone.
But whomever just sent out that alert to everyone in the entire city of LA... good lord.
My Mom called me as the alert was going off still.
holy shit Kneecap on Netflix is incredible

16.12.2024 22:23 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0the drone story feels like the first real post-truth mainstream news story
what I mean is that it feels like there is no truth that everyone will be satisfied by and it reaches across all different contingencies
NEW SHOW DAY... and good lord, what a week.
- OpenAI shippin' like crazy
- GoogleDeepMind also shippin' like crazy
- Apple shippin' whatever genmojis are
And we spend a LOT of time with Sora, love how it breaks and have some issues with it.
