I thought all the fun Theory I read in college was training for being obnoxious at cocktail parties, but then we invented search engines that do vibe checks before they give you the Straussian answer…

The brilliance of AI viz adoption curves is that you can interact with it ~ like it's a junior analyst. You can even send it emails from outlook!

amazing how it took boomers decades to get a grasp on shit like 'sending a text' and 'using microsoft word', but they picked up on AI almost immediately

Has anyone suggested to Trump that he should propose "Carbon Tariffs" on greenhouse gasses produced by imports? The discourse would be sublime

Amazing how every prior generation were unaware that Chicken Tikka Masala was our national dish until Robin Cook made a speech about it in 2001 and everyone started repeating it as a way to browbeat the natives about how they have no culture and need to be flooded with foreigners

All nations are socially constructed, but some are very real

Replying to @si_rubinstein
The truth no one wants to admit is that all nations are fake.

How have we not gotten any good battle hymns of the electric guitar era?

Related to this: the Last Battle is both heartbreaking and beyond confusing if you read it as a child without much prior exposure to scripture.

I hope Greta Gerwig has the courage to include Aslan’s terrifying, Oppenheimer-esque final warning at the end of The Magician’s Nephew.
Aslan: "When you were last here, that hollow was a pool, and when you jumped into it you came to the world where a dying sun shone over the ruins of Charn. There is no pool. That world is ended, as if it had never been. Let the race of Adam and Eve take warning." Polly: "But we're not quite as bad as that world, are we, Aslan?" Aslan: "Not yet, Daughter of Eve. Not yet. But you are growing more like it. It is not certain that some wicked one of your race will not find out a secret as evil as the Deplorable Word and use it to destroy all living things. And soon, very soon, before you are an old man and an old woman, great nations in your world will be ruled by tyrants who care no more for joy and justice and mercy than the Empress Jadis. Let your world beware."

Ordered from amazon, missing parts. Return, buy second, missing parts. Return, buy third, get sent first back again. What clown is running this company?

They say companies ship their org chart. I can only conclude that no one in MS's org chart does any real work

To believe this you have to believe (1) widespread violations of laws against price discrimination in goods (2) failure of price competition between firms for services

Someone described this as a “total loss of consumer surplus”, meaning some MBA is calculating the precise max price that can be charged at every interaction. It’s not a “rip off” in a technical sense, but it feels like being financially harvested. Bad vibe.

I went into this article expecting controversial or shocking info, but the entirety of the piece was just "Customer averages eating McDonalds twice a month" and "The favorite item for this customer is Diet Coke"... but it's treated like Minority Report.

One-upping excel is a terrible business. One-upping a *specific use of* excel is a great SaaS
