Would a large language model ever think of creating something this silly? I think not.

Peace out. For now anyway.

Why did concept cars get so serious? Where's the fun? The passion? The sex? I'm not sure if this is brutalist, but it's not far off.

I know which one I'm choosing.

Hey, what exactly are we doing now? Like exactly? youtube.com/watch?v=-uk24egt…

Don't distill us, but we can distill you. Got it.

Most people I've observed who use the word ironic in a sentence are using it incorrectly. What they're describing 99.9% of the time are coincidences. Increasingly over the last ~10 years, most of the “podcasts” I see are not —from a technical definition—podcasts. They're talk shows. You have a talk show. Just call it a talk show. There's no shame in having minimal effort, freeform, rambling talk show loosely defined around a witty or not-witty title where you recall how events in your childhood defined the person you are today and how it's important to have stick-to-it-tiveness in life and goals are important and stuff about conviction and something something success and perseverance and you were at the lowest point in your life and that's when you saw the light and also stoicism. (sidenote: Can comedians go back to honing their craft and creating great stand-up specials instead of interviewing prominent politicians on their talk shows with zero sense of responsibility as defined by Stan Lee in Spiderman?) If you truly want a podcast you need to publish a series of media files, typically in MP3 format, through an RSS feed. Publishing in this open format allows your feed to be syndicated by any app or platform. Shows exclusive to a platform like Spotify or YouTube are simply and only that: shows. What's wrong with having a show? (sidenote: most people use “air quotes” incorrectly too. They're used to express sarcasm, irony, skepticism, and doubt)

Sam Altman has explicitly said in at least one interview he doesn’t focus on product. It shows.

Prolly should rub it down with a nice layer of olive oil.

Need more ads, peez. @verge

Remember "flat design"? Design trends are like fashion trends. They come and go and come back again. We got a skeuomorphic cassette player, and I'm also seeing a resurrected imitation of the Cover Flow UI used in the original iOS Music app. We can argue about the practicality of an app like this, but I want you to think about why Apple is the only company where people feel inspired to use their platforms as a playground and have fun with design.

My good friend Mark built a great chess visualization app. Check it out. 🤩
