Tech companies used to sue anyone that copied the “look and feel” of their products. Will that trend reemerge?

🚨 Someone reverse-engineered the design systems of Apple, Spotify, Airbnb, and 30+ billion-dollar companies. Packed each one into a single file. Free. It's called Awesome Design MD. Drop one file into your project. Your AI agent builds UI that looks like Spotify. Or Apple. Or Airbnb. Instantly. Not screenshots. Not Figma links. A single DESIGN .md file that captures every color, font, spacing value, button style, and layout pattern from a real website. In a format AI agents read and reproduce. Here's the difference: Tell Claude Code "build me a landing page" and it gives you generic UI. Tell Claude Code "build me a landing page" with Spotify's DESIGN .md in your project and it gives you Spotify. Here's what's inside: → Apple. Premium white space, SF Pro typography, cinematic imagery. → Spotify. Vibrant green on dark, bold type, album-art-driven layout. → Airbnb. Warm coral accent, photography-driven, rounded UI. → Linear. Ultra-minimal, precise spacing, purple accent. → SpaceX. Stark black and white, full-bleed imagery, futuristic. → BMW. Dark premium surfaces, precise German engineering aesthetic. → NVIDIA. Green-black energy, technical power aesthetic. → Uber. Bold black and white, tight type, urban energy. → Sentry, PostHog, Raycast, Cursor, ElevenLabs, and 20+ more. Here's how to use it: → Pick a design system from the collection → Copy the DESIGN .md file into your project root → Tell your AI agent to use it → Get UI that matches the design language of a billion-dollar company That's it. One file. Your AI agent now has the design taste of a $200/hour design consultant. Designers charge $5,000+ for a custom design system. Companies spend $50,000+ building one from scratch. This is free. 31 design systems. Copy. Paste. Ship beautiful UI. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any AI coding agent that reads project files. 100% Open Source. MIT License.

@FatherMcKennaa I went to his memorial in Berkeley I met so many amazing people. And I have one of his “cook books” (and I have a Chemistry degree :) (45 years old)).

Alexander Shulgin synthesized over 200 psychedelic compounds in a shed behind his house. The DEA gave him a license. Then he published the recipes. Then they took the license away. The most punk rock chemist who ever lived and most people have never heard his name.

@DannyCrichton But what does this mean for Google? It means it is not showing ads on hundreds of million pages.

No discussion of tech media can get past this basic traffic fact: in the AI world, Google and social no longer refer traffic, which means that the vast majority of readers just never find you in the first place. Analysis: growtika.com/blog/tech-medi…

Wow. Publishers were struggling before AI now they face an accelerated decline. But what does this mean for Google? It means it is not showing ads on hundreds of million pages.

@tolles I have heard that claim about conquering the mountains of unstructured data many times over many decades and it’s always dressed up the latest marketing hype du jour. Déjà vu

This looks pretty cool (as a box customer)
Aaron Levie@levie

Today, Box is launching Box Extract, our most powerful way to mine the intelligence sitting inside of critical unstructured data at scale. Enterprises are sitting on a wealth of valuable information inside of their enterprise content, from their contracts and invoices to research documents and marketing assets. Inside of this information is critical data around customer interactions, revenue opportunities, market intelligence, research breakthroughs, security and governance risks, and more. Previously it was nearly impossible to capture this information without massive human labor or fragile legacy document processing solutions. This meant that most of the critical data about our business has always been trapped away in this content that we never know about or have access to. For the first time ever, AI Agents let us capture the inherent critical information sitting inside this content. Box Extract provides an end-to-end suite of capabilities to make it easy to customize these agents, run them on your content at scale, and get all of the benefits of advanced AI breakthroughs from Google's Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, and more for document processing. And best of all, Box lets you then leverage this content intelligence across your organization with powerful end-user experiences for interacting with this structured data, APIs to connect this data into other enterprise systems, and the have the ability to use this data to drive automated workflows for any business process. We're still in the very early days of Box Extract, with tons of new capabilities coming soon.

The combination of tariffs and inflation will save me a lot of money because fewer things will be affordable — that’s great for the environment (bad for our economy)

Big corporations and Big Pharma run the government so is this what they wanted?: Unpredictable variable sky high tariffs to boost their sales, and strict immigration controls so that labour costs rise. All that money spent on lobbying over the years has bought little influence

@tomfgoodwin Advertising works on numbers and those are easy to produce online. That’s why ad fraud is tolerated. The traffic is ultra low quality but the numbers are great!

I don’t understand how it seems like the entire $500 billion a year digital advertising ecosystem is based on an entirely flawed understanding of how it is that advertising works …and nobody seems to really care

All these trade tariffs are great for the planet. People will buy less, which conserves resources, reduces carbon footprints, and less pollution. It's a massive blow against consumerism. Unsustainable, unfortunately, I doubt Trump will want to be known as the Green President

Ridiculous. The poll should ask those surveyed if they've ever listened to Joe Rogan. Original experiences are vital in this age of untrusted information over received impressions from others, “55% Of Women Say That Listening To Joe Rogan Is A Red Flag” youtu.be/9J_3F1rLTFI?si…

Pitchfork pitched into GQ magazine at Conde Nast. -- the media industry continues to struggle -- there is no stable business model to support quality journalism. Hugely important problem for our society. linkedin.com/news/story/pit…

My favorite feature of Artificial Intelligence systems is their "hallucinations" -- creating outright fake facts. I hope this mysterious feature continues unchanged -- we should never trust AI systems 100% -- human intelligence and critical reasoning is a vital layer

The progress of General Artificial Intelligence is really about the distillation of whatever is human that remains... my concern is that there might not be much there that's unique or worth much
