When I first started working corporate it was just before the recession and in addition to a family day at the office (which was AMAZING), they used to do an employee only Christmas party at the Ritz Carlton and it was SPECTACULAR. Each ballroom had a different theme and was decorated accordingly. They served sushi and shrimp cocktail and caviar and champagne. Then 2009 happened and the parties were over.




Netflix has entered exclusive talks with Warner Bros Discovery to buy its studio and streaming service. Scoop with @MichelleF_Davis and @joshua_sisco on the terminal.

Tested ChatGPT's new Shopping Research feature and I'm pretty impressed. The UI is adaptive to what you're searching for - it asked me different questions and even organized the results differently when I was looking for "Christmas gift for a 13 year old girl" vs. "best white sneakers for work". It also asks you to rate products while conducting the search to better refine options (with links and reviews provided) - this makes the wait time more tolerable. And IMO, the results are quite good, with detailed justifications for each product. This is a big step up from the other products we've seen in this space (ex. Perplexity Shopping) - I'm curious if they double down on building out UI here...
