People have no idea what's coming with the next generation of kids who are AI native. My youngest teen just started an internship. On the first day he was given a "challenging" two weeks worth of work with very specific objectives, timelines, etc. By 10am the next morning he was done the entire list and asking for more work. They didn't think he could possibly be done. How? He used AI to help (with their permission). And he KNOW how to use AI (he's not using it like a google search bar). These AI native kids are gonna run laps around 25-40 year olds that are not using AI.

View from the highest point on Earth. This is the closest a human can get to space while still touching the ground. From here, the Earth ceases to be a landscape and starts to look like what it actually is.

📁 Sam Altman says that even though building software is now dramatically easier, building a real business is still just as hard. AI removes technical barriers, but it does not solve the scarcest resource, human attention. Even in a world of radical abundance, distribution and focus remain the bottleneck. The edge will not be speed, but creativity and building things that truly matter.

"When you choose who you follow on social media, when you choose what podcasts to listen to, when you choose what books to read, you are choosing your future thoughts. If you want better, more productive, more creative thoughts, you need better, more productive, more creative inputs. And so choosing what to read or choosing what to listen to or who to subscribe to is actually a very weighty decision. It’s a very important decision." James Clear on The Knowledge Project

TIL: Apple Store employees tilt all the MacBook monitors to 76 degrees. It’s an awkward viewing angle, inviting customers to adjust the screen. This “multi-sensory” action is supposed to give a sense of ownership and increase likelihood of a purchase.

google really played the long game. > nano banana 3.0 is insane.
You went 🍌🍌 for Nano Banana. Now, meet Nano Banana Pro.  It’s SOTA for image generation + editing with more advanced world knowledge, text rendering, precision + controls. Built on Gemini 3, it’s really good at complex infographics - much like how engineers see the world:)

great design in a product shows your users that you care and if you sweat those details, you’re likely to care in other places too
