Picked up my new phone at the Apple Store. Launch day buzz in the air: employees bracing for a busy day, security alarms blaring, and security mean-mugging at the front of the store. Itās funny how the iPhones follow the relentless march of technology while the store experience remains evergreen.

All these ā95% AI failureā takes and nobody actually read past the headline. The MIT study shows itās an implementation problem. Kind of like blaming email for bad communication instead of poor writing skills. Confirmation bias is real, yāall. fortune.com/2025/08/18/m...

I went to Death Becomes Her on Broadway last night, and it was hilariously unhinged. The audience was fully invested, laughing, gasping, and cheering. It was so gay coded: Superficiality! Camp! Drag! I really love the self-aware era that musicals are going through.

I love how submitting online forms has become a debugging exercise. The number of times I have to open the network tab just to figure out why a form won't submit is honestly absurd. Web developers, we need to talk.

AI content risks becoming an echo chamber, with simple ideas dominating because they're easier to generate and build upon, and are the same ideas that LLMs will regurgitate. Itās a creative partner, not a creative doer.
