This is really embarrassing. I don’t drink nor know how to make coffee and I just realized I would fail the “Woz” test for robot AI. “Trust me I’m real even though I can’t make coffee” Great thread on AI:

This such an insightful thread on live trivia performance. The HQ team learned so much. I love the points about never looking away from the camera and avoiding awkward crotch shot placements

One of my favorite newsletters right now is @TurnerNovak’s The Split. Today’s post on Toutiao is a fantastic look inside a major product people don’t know enough about [link] Click this link and sign up (for free!) so I can get a banana hat please.

I need to watch ToS. Menu was enjoyable but about 2/3 through I thought it might be one of the best movies I had ever seen.

For the whole series it was more like 1/3 amazing (matrix 1) 2/3 awful (matrix 2 and 3)

Acapulco is a great show. I laughed, cried, loved it. It has the standard sitcom “will they / won’t they / Ross Rachel” premise. But the characters and stories and acting are so much richer. Almost like Ted Lasso meets White Lotus (without the R-rating and murder mystery)

Good insightful thread from Ben in what is going on in investment markets right now

Again this is the best newsletter to know what’s actually going on in the world that matters. Eg not what’s happening on Twitter dot com

Great post from ⁦@bvatere⁩ on where he thinks identity is going with GenZ and Web3

This is great

One of, if not the most important book in software development. RIP Frederick Brooks. Very much not a mythical man

Must read post for people leading or working at startups
