Design and development shop the Iconfactory is selling some apps —and AI is partially to blame | TechCrunch Side products can no longer be maintained, even if they have "loads of happy and loyal customers," as the Iconfactory's co-founder, Ged Maheux, says.

Just got back to London. I lived here for a little over a year about eight years ago, and I’d forgotten how beautiful this city is 😍

After a nice break, I’m super excited to share that I’m joining the design team at Synthesia next week! I’ve been into AI for years, messing around with models and building side projects using the latest APIs, and now I finally get to dive in for real 🤖

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:
