🍎 Not wrong. Of course I know nothing - but he’s still not wrong.

🔗 Apple’s Mac Mini Went Viral.

Some of these systems will surely arrive on other platforms eventually, but at the moment, they’re only on the Mac. They’re not on Windows, not on Linux, not on Android, and not on iOS. Just the Mac. That’s because the Mac is, and always has been, the best computer platform in the world. It just is. These systems can’t run on iPhones or iPads because those are baby computers. They just are. So if you to jump in as an early adopter on desktop AI, it needs to be on a Mac. And if you want a headless always-on Mac to do it, the only options are a Mac Mini or Mac Studio.

👁️ Hunter adds to my growing list of annoying LinkedIn traits.

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

  2. Using ‘first image out of hopper’ illustrating argument that doesn’t

  3. 🔗 At AI Dinners - Template Suggestion

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.

The true test of happiness is whether you know what day of the week it is. A miserable man is aware of this even in his sleep. To be as cheerful and rosy-cheeked on Monday as on Saturday, and at breakfast as at dinner is to — well, make an ideal husband.

🔗 In Gut We Trust? – Peggy Noonan

You unconsciously stand up straight in a cathedral. The art, the sweep, the ceilings are so high that you aspire even in your posture. You crouch down low to enter a darkened shack. The sound of our leadership now makes us all crouch too low.

👁️ Let this be a warning dear Signal users …

🔗 FBI Extracts Suspect’s Deleted Signal Messages Saved in iPhone Notification Database

What happens is that if the text of a Signal message shows up on a lock screen, it’s stored in iOS itself, in a place where forensic investigators can gain access to it. That’s a really good reason to turn off lock-screen notifications for Signal, and to remove the text of Signal messages from its notifications entirely.

🔗 Attention and effort

Attention and trust continue their dance, and our choices determine how we’ll show up in the marketplace. Burning trust to get attention rarely pays off.

🔗 A quote from Giles Turnbull

I have a feeling that everyone likes using AI tools to try doing someone else’s profession. They’re much less keen when someone else uses it for their profession.
