We wanted motor tubs, instead we got mobile phones.

@HinataMotivates Apple made a big bet on Apple Car: failed Facebook made a big bet on Metaverse: failed Apple got Vision Pro; Facebook Quest and Ray-Ban Meta Glasses. Doesn't look like Facebook has done so much that Zuck can criticise Apple.

Mark Zuckerberg: Apple's lack of innovation will be their downfall.

@lucashjin neat stuff 👌

we just built git for video editing.

Since 2015, Will Wright — the legendary video game designer behind 'The Sims' and 'SimCity' — has been consumed by a new obsession: how our ever-shifting library of memories forges the self. In his mind, each personal memory from your life is like a snow globe, a world inside a world. But that world could be connected to countless others in conscious and unconscious ways. He wanted to create a game in which a player could tinker with that unending maze of inner microverses, logging their significant memories for an AI to analyze and then mapping their own psyche the way they had mapped digital metropolises in ‘SimCity.’ It would be called ‘Proxi: Yesterday's You Tomorrow.’ The concept was part computerized LEGO set, part RPG, part Enneagram, part transhumanist mind-uploading fantasy, part reboot of Borges and Proust for the LLM age. It would be, in some ways, Wright's most personal video game yet. Fast forward to October 2024 — after spending ten years, a million dollars of Wright's own money, and a few million from investors; after they’d already started building out the game’s universe — the game was (and still is) nowhere close to being finished. Eric Boodman spent time with Wright and his ‘Proxi’ crew to find out when — or if — one of the most celebrated video-game designers ever's next (and even wilder) act will come to life: nymag.visitlink.me/ElSdEG

software is going to get more personal and more interesting

Adobe Neo 👀

keeping the topic of introspection aside, I think tomorrow a famous founder/VC will come on a podcast and say something like, he has "zero" empathy or he has "zero" feelings and everyone will go - "oh yeah.. that sounds right" like how suddenly everyone is running after "taste" - just after few well known people started talking about it recently, as if taste is something that is never known to the mankind before and we see for the first time on smithsonian magazine or popular mechanics

@chainyoda same same x.com/pmarca/status/…

I can confirm that “what about me” is the source of all kinds of trouble

Maybe they could have adopted a design as in the Stem Player from DONDA - which is even more minimal; has more readability.

Latest from Johny Ive's design firm, "LoveFrom" is this clock. It is named "The Clock". The approach is still same: one step towards minimalism or improvement through getting rid of things. But I'm not sure if that actually worked out well in this product - the readability seems quite low.

We don’t because we stopped treating art as something that forms the soul, and started treating it as content to be consumed. Edmund Burke warned that a civilization survives not by innovation alone, but by preserving what refines human taste, judgment, and imagination. Hand-drawn animation carried discipline, patience, and a sense of beauty shaped over generations. When that disappears, it’s not just a style that fades. It’s a way of seeing the world.

@pmarca So is programming.

My big conclusion from this week: Introspection causes emotional disorders.

vibe coding will take code beyond software and apps

@pmarca Notes from introspection.

@Praha37v @framer @rive_app @hiunicornstudio I think spline and rive stands head to head

This trio is more powerful than any trio in the web design industry. @framer, @rive_app & @hiunicornstudio 🔥

@pmarca Notes from introspection.

Status: Day 19,977 of retardmaxxing. Things going really well.

@keoneHD the topic is unnecessarily overblown tbh

Marc Andreesen is wrong in claming that none of the Greats were introspective, but right in pointing out that introspection is overrated The optimal amount of introspection is always less than what you currently do Introspection is overrated, just go do things

@damor_eth Received a message with calendly link today; so I assume it’s not actually you.

My Telegram got hacked, so please ignore messages from @tentrucks for the time being.

Introspection = neuroticism x narcissism x thumbsucking.

@pmarca this whole argument cycle about introspection has already turned out to be very introspective

Well.
