Very soon, “no AI was used” will be a premium service category in nearly every industry. Mark this.

BreatheX is telling welders to ditch their respirators and wear non-certified BreatheX nostril filters instead. Should they? Nope, nope and nope. Why? Because welding fumes are particles, mostly under 1 micron, and the BreatheX filters are crap at filtering smaller sized particles. From their own marketing: BreatheX Nostril Filters PM 10 - 90% BreatheX Nostril Filters PM 2.5 - 65% Filtration for smaller sized particles is conspicuously missing, but from just those two numbers we can tell the filtration will be terrible. A NIOSH P100 respirator filters tiny PM 0.3 particles at 99.97% or better at 85lpm of airflow (total filtration efficiency in mask will be lower due to imperfect face seal). Use a well fitted certified respirator for welding fumes, not un-certified nostril filters. --- But can you use the filters for protection from airborne disease?... 🧵

If you're thinking about using gen-AI to "write" books, this 🧵 is for you. I’m a highly experienced editor who’s been in the biz a long time. Recently I’ve had manuscripts come to me where the author has used gen-AI – not for writing, I’ve been assured, but for

I would like to discuss the follow-up plans for the project with everyone. After AirFanta Wear, I’ve been thinking about a laminar flow device that can be clipped onto a cap. This way, when you turn your head, the air outlet moves with your head, ensuring better coverage accuracy. The challenge would be the unbalanced weight on one side. However, I’ve been slow to move forward with this project because the application of laminar flow devices is quite narrow — apart from Covid-cautious people, very few would buy it. Sales of AirFanta Wear have been poor. We haven’t even sold out our first batch yet, and the cash flow for this project remains significantly negative. Developing another new product would likely result in losses. As a small company, it’s quite tough for me. I want to wait until after the AirFanta 5 Pro(updated edition of 3Pro) launches to see how sales perform and whether cash flow improves. That home-use air purifier has a much broader audience and is likely to sell much better. I appreciate if you can help recommend our products.
