👁️ Asides
Throw way thoughts. Sometimes I wonder why I felt it was worth posting when I did. Other times even I can’t work out what I was trying to say.
👁️ The Hugo thing started to make me wonder a few weeks ago .. and now the social cards .. with @sod pointing out to me that my theme has been untouched for four years.

Using AI to write posts saying don’t use AI to write posts

Using ‘first image out of hopper’ illustrating argument that doesn’t
LinkedIn could save most VCs a step by adding a post template called “AI Dinner.” You upload a picture of the full table and a picture of the custom menu card with your firm’s logo on it. Then it pre-fills the text of “Still buzzing from bringing together all these AI Builders last night,” while also auto-tagging the attendees.
