Here’s something different. My first fiction piece, called FOMO, was published over at A Thin Slice of Anxiety (thanks,

@slicesofanxiety

). It should be familiar to crypto traders, but it’s essentially a story about addiction, which comes in many forms. athinsliceofanxiety.com/2022/05/fictio

Nothing , Forever on Twitch is the first AI-generated hit show. Prediction: We'll have one that's twice as good within a week. We'll have hundreds of them within 3 months. Within a year, these AI-generated shows will look very close to what a top animated movie looks like now.

'The Last of Us' is great. Here's an amazing book (and movie) with an eerily similar plot.

The first thing I thought of when I saw "The Last of Us" was

"The Girl with All the Gifts," which I warmly recommend.

We're talking, of course, about the amazing "The Girl with All the Gifts".

It feels like it's only a matter of time until "would of" becomes so much more frequently used than "would have" that linguists simply give up and accept "would of" as the correct form. BTW, typing "would of" physically hurts. Ouch.

News about arbitrary suspension of journalists on Twitter is worrying. EU’s Digital Services Act requires respect of media freedom and fundamental rights. This is reinforced under our #MediaFreedomAct.

@elonmusk

should be aware of that. There are red lines. And sanctions, soon.

but not using it much yet [Twitter won't let me post the proper link!!]

So it took less than two months for Twitter’s new leadership to devolve into tyranny.

Calling it right now: Nick Nolte is going to star in season three of White Lotus, playing a disgraced billionaire/drug lord

He who tries to normalize being a douchebag should look to it that he himself does not become a douchebag. And if you gaze long into douchebaggery, the douchebaggery also gazes into you.

This is amazing.

Wait, what? How is this even doable on a technical level?

Apple’s claim is that the gas fees required to send NFTs need to be paid through their In-App Purchase system, so that they can collect 30% of the gas fee.

Also, this is your annual reminder that Spotify HiFi still isn't live, even though it was supposed to launch by the end of 2021. Yes, 2021.

Spotify Wrapped 2022 has a lot of info on what we listened to, but it has curiously little info on how much Spotify has been paying artists

Twitter is the ultimate amplifier, especially if you own it. But sometimes it's better if your every thought isn't amplified and broadcasted globally.

So wait, the blue check was rendered pointless and superseded by the grey check but the grey check was then removed because Musk said it was no good, but now the grey check is being brought back again? #thisisfine

So wait, the official blue checkmark which used to prove someone's identity no longer proves identity. The other checkmark was then introduced to prove identity. But now that checkmark has been removed. Nothing makes sense anymore. I don't know what is real. Everything is a lie.

Ultra rich people have something in common these days: they’re all really, really sorry

Musk’s tenure at Twitter really has increased user activity For example I come here every day to see if everything has fallen apart yet

If you're a VC I guess this is the time to go all in backing a new social media site for sharing short messages

Were Twitter's financials really so bad to warrant mass layoffs? Revenue was growing YoY except for last Q when the company was already fighting Musk's bid. Users were growing, albeit slowly. Twitter seemed stable. Remember when Musk said: This takeover is not about money.
