  • See Into Sam Altman’s Soul

    There is nothing I enjoy more than an insightful discussion on notebooks, and hearing Sam Altman on the How I Write Podcast was a fascinating listen. I made a few notes whilst walking the dog this morning, but before I got a chance to go over them, this excellent rebuttal from Liz Lopatto at The Verge made me laugh out loud. My favourite quote from the post sums up my thoughts:

  • Adam Mosseri on Threads:

    We are rebalancing ranking to prioritize content from people you follow, which will mean less recommended content from accounts you don’t follow and more posts from the accounts you do starting today

    I like the way that Meta can start to implement the things users have been asking for just in time to see a lot of their user base leave. The best part is, I would presume, the users that really benefit from these updates don’t really want to use a Meta platform anyway 👋

  • The Dent in Echo chamber? You’re damn right!

    When I’m chilling in a coffee shop, writing a blog post about echo chambers, I don’t move to the table next to me to listen closer to the muppets there talking about how children shouldn’t be immunised against deadly viruses because Bob down the pub told them about mind controlling nano bots.

    A perfect analogy. People act like I have to see all this toxic crap online. Or imply I’m weak because I might get ‘triggered’.

    But I just want a nice place to hang out and that shouldn’t be an issue.

  • Nick Heer in Adam Mosseri Says Threads Will Now Show You More of the Stuff You Have Said You Are Interested in Seeing

    These are the people who see social media as a place for furthering their brand. They are not interesting. The only way they are able to grow their audience is by treating a recommendations algorithm as a problem to be solved.

    These are people that completely miss the point of social media. These are people that have ruined it for the rest of us. These are people that I don’t want to see in my feed.

  • 🔗 Mark Gurman: “NEW: Apple is racing to develo…” - Mastodon

    The company plans to introduce the revamped LLM Siri next year and launch it by spring 2026

    Companies talk so much about products that don’t exist. Apple say “coming later this year” more than I ever expected. And don’t even get me started on Orion

  • manuelmoreale.com in An appreciation of the “mark all as read” button

    I only open my RSS reader when I want to read something and I have some time to spend reading … just like that, I’m done with my timeline. Isn’t that amazing?

    This is why they pretend RSS is dead, because it’s a trick they don’t want you to know.

  • M.G. Siegler in I’ve Been Here for Years

    A lot of what I have written over the two decades – thousands of posts – remains online, but a lot also doesn’t.

    I have a lot of words out there from a decade of writing. Some places have closed down, but some are still up but have changed the name next to the words I wrote. Which is inexcusable to be honest.

  • 🔗 Apple’s MagSafe Battery Pack for iPhone shouldn’t have been a one-and-done experiment  - 9to5Mac

    Unfortunately, it went on to be yet another one-and-done Apple accessory that was discontinued with the iPhone 15.

    Did not realise this was discontinued and it’s weird they didn’t launch an updated version.

  • Matt Birchler in I’ll eat an AirPod if I get this prediction wrong

    I would challenge anyone who thinks Apple’s LLM features will be more “mainstream” then ChatGPT “before the end of the year”

    I also don’t think people realise how mainstream use of ChatGPT is.
