In: A company marketing itself as a solution to a well-understood problem.
Let's redo those glossy statements using simple English:
"Learn to meditate."
"Master your finances."
"Manage your cyber risk."
All are easier to understand, and we no longer need decoder rings.

Out: A company marketing itself as "an operating system for X."
Examples:
"An OS for the mind."
"An OS for personal finance."
"An OS for cyber risk."
You realize that normies don't know what an OS is.

Designing and illustrating children's books and graphic novels previously required mastery and years of training. This barrier is going away but a few more things still need to be addressed + developed:
1. Licenses
2. State (e.g. posing the same character in different places)

I hope that generative art leads to a renaissance in the Graphic Novel - an incredible and underrated art form.
Without an artist, I'd never be able to make one. But with AI art, maybe I can.

My 4-year-old and I play together every morning.
Recently, we've had fun making art with #MidJourney. I love watching her expanding imagination conceive of and recombine creative prompts. There are no restrictions or silly ideas. It's pure play.
Truly magical & delightful exp.

From the Basement feat. is incredible. Stella Mozgawa is one of my favorite drummers - her percussive sensibilities bring out the best of the band. Radiate Like This is a recommended record.

I’ve stopped doing internet deep dives on people (Google, LinkedIn, social) ahead of meetings.
I *actually* enjoy connecting with people w/o prior research. I’m much more engaged and have zero preconceived notions.
These conversations are more memorable + interesting IMHO.

For the past 8 months my daughter and I have been writing a haiku every evening. Along the way, we also made a little app to make creating and sharing them more fun.
Not sure if or when we’ll ever ship it, but it’s a joyful thing. Would you use this?

I loved Creative Selection by ! This book *actually* details what it’s like to design, prototype, build, test, refine, and iterate on real-world software. The anecdotes around closing the rendering gaps in Safari spoke to my heart.
