I like how platforms/people are pushing users and even legislation to identify if content was created with AI. Keep that same energy with photoshopping clear skin/bodies, lip syncing on live shows, etc.

Anyone purchasing anything using AI voice (Rabbit1, AI Pin, Etc.) are clearly in the tax bracket where they don't look at the price on a food menu.

The 'success' of Reels & YouTube Shorts is highly manufactured. It's 1 part people like short form content, it's so easy to give in. And it's 1 part being forced to consume and participate.

Creators must participate in short form to favour the algorithm as it's changed to prioritize short form. Audience must view short form because it's taking the most prominent space on the screen, it even auto plays on FB/IG. I'm not sure how you can measure success.

I've been waiting on Adidas to send me my refund after a legitimate 6 month delay. The moment I ask for transcripts of my chat history, I got my refund immediately, within SECONDS. Where was that immediacy during the 6 month wait...

Iโ€™m not sure OpenAI employees being loyal to a CEO is a thing. Itโ€™s pretty easy to jump companies when itโ€™s a large company, youโ€™re guaranteed a position, presumably higher pay, presumably better benefits. Thatโ€™s 0 risk for all the gains.

I think the iPhone 15 Pro Action Button UI is a glimpse of what Vision Pro app UI is supposed to be. Ultimately it's just a basic selector (like selecting a ringtone) but it's packaged in an extremely experiential way.

The Vision Pro app experience should just be that, UI that functions like today but with more depth and detail. Today we look at UI, with Spatial Computing you're supposed to be in the UI.

Anyone think Drake is overcompensating? We went from Pushaโ€™s โ€˜You are hiding a childโ€™ to album art by his kid and their kid's own freestyle rap videoโ€ฆ Has shades of how Will Smith overcompensated for defending his โ€˜wifeโ€™โ€ฆ

I need comparison videos of standard colour corrected iPhone footage vs colour corrected log iPhone footage. A comparison between ungraded log and colour corrected log means absolutely nothing...

Let Facebook's controversy of AI Generated problematic stickers be a reminder in the design process to put on the negative design hat and see what evil you can do so you can prevent it, or ensure it is well thought out.

Since the pandemic my theatre watching experiences have dropped dramatically. Cineplex and now Landmark Cinemas are charging online booking fees. I get it, your business has taken a hit, but this is definitely reducing my theatre watching even more.

Am I out of the loop? Why does the president have a cup making him look like Homelander.

If you think about how X is trying to position itself as an everything app and that Reels could be its own app but lives in Instagram... Using Instagram products as an example. The X app would have a tab for Instagram, a tab for Reels, a tab for Threads.

Also Elon is notorious for engagement baiting. The abrupt change and vagueness is just so he can show off how site traffic has yet again increased since he purchased it.

What would have the world shaped to be if instead of the trigger words Hey Google/Hey siri, it was actually Google Please/Siri Please.

I'm not sure what Threads brings to the table. You can also buy verification there. If that wasn't possible then I can see the value, but that's not the case. I think people innately don't want a single social network monopoly. They just want 1 handle, that's what Fediverse is.

Can you imagine Reels and Threads replaced its competitors? 1 Design system for 3 social networks. It just won't work. The change of pace is necessary. Reels and Threads would need to break away from the Instragram DNA, like how Facebook and Whatsapp are.

These are text based social networks. You canโ€™t repost the same content on both Twitter and Threads. Just like the same Snapchat snap canโ€™t also be on Instagram stories. You have to fully transition to Threads. Thatโ€™s a hill to climb as a network looking to takeover the userbase
