My favorite part about this is people who can't write an interesting paragraph to save their lives telling one of the most talented storytellers of our age to get with the times
Tucked away in the #Pluribus credits, it reads, “This show was made by humans.” “I hate AI,” creator Vince Gilligan told Variety with a chuckle. “AI is the world’s most expensive and energy-intensive plagiarism machine. I think there’s a very high possibility that this is all a bunch of horseshit. It’s basically a bunch of centibillionaires whose greatest life goal is to become the world’s first trillionaires. I think they’re selling a bag of vapor.” Read the full “Pluribus” story from @ethanshanfeld here: wp.me/pc8uak-1lGwMi

Pluribus ep1 is fine It's competently written and well shot But I am not seeing the "absolute masterpiece of a pilot" praise that's all over my TL There are shows with far more gripping first episodes right next to it on the very same streaming platform I'm still interested tho
literally bribing people to pad user metrics is normal use of VC money now
I built GeoGuessr — but for finding Rho ads in the wild. We're giving $100 for every picture you take across NY and SF, in partnership with Rho. That's right. Real money for spotting ads. Here's how to play ⤵︎ 🗺️🤝

The real AI battle is not US vs. China It's future of humanity vs. Sam Altman's next Koenigsegg

Hi everyone, Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on Thursday, November 19, 2026. We are sorry for adding additional time to what we realize has been a long wait, but these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve.

“introducing slop the sloppiest way to slop your slop” > founder sits down in frame and starts speaking to camera > stock footage of old computers > motion design of a ui that looks nothing like the product > is actually a seed announcement > acquired by legacy software player in 18 months
Apple Watch in the EU will stop doing the only thing it's supposed to do thank you @vonderleyen, very cool
✨📶 L'Apple Watch va perdre la synchronisation Wi-Fi avec l'iPhone en Europe Apple va désactiver la synchronisation automatique des réseaux Wi-Fi entre l'iPhone et l'Apple Watch en Europe, à partir de la mise à jour iOS 26.2 (décembre). La raison : la Commission européenne exigeait qu'Apple ouvre ce lien de synchronisation aux accessoires tiers. Apple a refusé par souci de sécurité et de protection de la vie privée Donc, pour se conformer au DMA, Apple va désactiver la fonction pour tous en Europe.

Whenever a Waymo gets stuck and it says "our team is working to get you on the way", I really hope it's a guy with a Playstation DualSense controller somewhere

Not that I have a dog in this fight or know much about America But Something about a website that itself tells you it's banned in the US running election ads doesn't sit right with me

This is what I mean when I talk about actually useful AI btw
This is how professionals use AI in their workflow. A creative studio in France made an ad for the 2026 Olympics using a traditional 3D pipeline and adding AI. And they published a “behind the scenes” look at how it was made - it’s worth a watch ⬇️
