@GeorgeWill Blaming Bevan for fish & coal shortages incorrect - In ’45-48 Britain was in full austerity: war-damaged industry, brutal ’47 winter, export drives to earn $ Fish fleets depleted, coalfields outdated. Bevan was Health Minister, built the NHS, not fisheries or mines.

@danshipper @lucas__crespo @every @ChatGPTapp @midjourney Love the podcast, and your product Every. I was enjoying this episode but was distracted by the excessive use of the word “like” - please try and edit out - Descript makes it easy to do.

Lucas Crespo (@lucas__crespo ) is the mastermind behind @every 's visual vibe—and he does it one prompt at a time. As our creative lead, Lucas uses tools like native image gen in @ChatGPTapp and @midjourney to generate the cover images you see every day. He also designs the interfaces for our products—@coracomputer, @tryspiral, and @sparkleapp—and makes everything on our site feel as thoughtful and delightful as possible. We get into: - Why Every’s aesthetic feels familiar and new at the same time. Every’s aesthetic plays with the tension between the old (like Greek statues and Baroque symbols) and the new (like saturated colors and modern motifs) to make the glamor of the past feel fresh. - Art direction matters more than ever today. As AI makes it easier to generate images, Lucas says the real work of design is shifting toward art direction, specifically, curating an aesthetic that feels “organic;” on his X timeline that’s showing up as clouds, earthy landscapes, and textures. - Reimagining what a website can be with AI. Lucas compares most websites to identical buildings—predictable, efficient, and forgettable—and wonders how AI can help us break that mold by designing experiences that prioritize serendipity over speed, and curiosity over control. - Behind the scenes of Cora’s visual aesthetic. How Lucas designed the landing page and launch video for @coracomputer by rooting it in the product’s philosophy: turning the inbox from a source of chaos into something that feels calm, thoughtful—like stepping into spring. - The future of internet interfaces. Lucas believes the future of digital interfaces will be curated with the same care as a film set or ad campaign, where every detail is chosen with intention. Lucas also walks us through how he created the headline image for Every’s consulting page—a human and robotic hand fist-bumping—using Midjourney to iterate from rough prompt to polished visual. This is a must watch for anyone interested in the future of design and making the internet a little more beautiful every day. Watch below! Timestamps: 1. Introduction: 00:01:41 2.
