Why are wired headphones popular again? I have AI-specific reasons. My reasons: ✅ cheaper and I feel less horrible if I lose them (and have not yet) ✅ safer, can’t be hacked (I think the Kamala Harris interview actually influenced a lot of people) ✅ will never lose power ✅ no charging cadence responsibility ✅ no connection issues, reliable ✅ ONE MILLION TIMES EASIER to use with AI - the quality is clearer than AirPods and I can hold the mic to my mouth and whisper and not annoy everyone around me. I’m a dictation fiend and it’s part of my workflow optimization Downsides: ✅ can’t charge while in use unless you’re using a MagSafe charger ✅ gets tangled ✅ no noise canceling (I live in nyc and sometimes you just need to flip on noise canceling and pretend the honking doesn’t exist) ✅ looks kind of lame on a zoom call If you follow me on instagram, you’ve seen me wearing them a lot more in the last 2 years. AI and ease are my main reasons. Safety and cost are added benefits. For $30, it’s worth it to grab an extra pair for dictating to AI on walks.

This is Rose. She's paralyzed in both her back legs from being hit by a car as a stray. But when she sees her wheelchair harness come out, she knows it's time to walk and roll. 14/10

Quantum Agile, where a task is simultaneously in two sprints and its status depends on the observer. A Schrödinger's task, if you will.

@dtoczala The opening was very funny. The tools should serve us, not the other way around!

Not a fan of dropping f-bombs in public, but Modern Work Fucking Sucks (bit.ly/4fzf2Xq), does get a few things right. Too many teams and people become slaves to the measurement systems and tools - and lose focus on where real value gets created. Focus on creating value.

@lousylinguist Remember in the old Watson days people thought we spent all our time actually talking to the computer? Now we almost do!

Weird #chatgpt glitch (using 3.5). I noticed it was using .0. for the number 10 in a list. Asked it to fix it. It failed, but thought it succeeded.
