Uou know that thing that Dario had about Claude not being allowed to control bombs and stuff?
I agree. This morning has been a total waste due to ‘Claude farts’ - it is definitely not ready for bombs. Had I known I would have modified the CSS myself!
“Vladimir Putin reaffirmed Russia’s principled stance in favour of an immediate cessation of hostilities, the rejection of force as a method to solve any issues surrounding Iran or arising in the Middle East, and a swift return to the path of diplomatic resolution," the Kremlin said.
… got it.
‘They’ (there ‘they’ are again) always say that “we should look for the things that we have in common” ….
Similar Thinking. Different Thoughts.
The post opens with a position on SaaS platforms moving towards context-as-a-service (CaaS) from Scott Brinker. I question marketing strategies for the ;age of experience’ - built on outdated systems from the ‘age of reason’. (Not to mention that Caas is to my mind up an entirely different pole.)
Do Nazis and White Supremacists use MS Word?
Asking for a friend. (Who is wondering if it is ok to continue to use Word … even if they are.)
My Wiki is Really Coming Together

What fills the pattern at any given instant –what we call content– is fungible and disposable. It’s not important. It’s the pattern, the form the content fits and replicates, that’s important.
“fungible and disposable” - 🖇️ been writing about this for years - eventually the term will disappear - once all the juice has been extracted.

🔗 MacBook Neo: Apple Makes A Bacon, Egg And Cheese Sandwich
To explain it in breakfast terms: Apple can’t get itself excited about making and selling a $6 takeout bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on an English muffin. But it’ll apply an almost terrifying amount of institutional energy towards the development of a $60 hotel restaurant breakfast.

In amongst the endless posts about Apple this week - quite simply the best post and even includes the Apple video - which is the only other standout piece of media this week.
Just leaving this here .. noting that if the US was buying at the same per capita rate as New Zealand they’d be up around the Israel level .. a country that the The Tяump Аппаратчик most self identifies with .. so would seem more appropriate❓

- Oh, your USB devices stopped working? Huh. Isn’t that strange? Seeing as your Mac is under-performing – for some odd reason that Software Update has no knowledge of, honestly – perhaps this period of limited productivity would be a good time to install that System Software Update that’s been loitering in the Notifications tray, like an untipped bellhop?

It’s VCs’ job to predict the future in all sorts of directions, and be extremely confident about those predictions, and also be wrong 9 out of 10 times. Remember that next time you hear a VC say…anything.
Not choosing any particular VC over any other - but you know who I am talking about. Right❓
