it’s really hard to overstate how much smartphones have ruined the experience of simply being present and enjoying things with other people
Back to 2011, when Avicii took over the Tomorrowland MainStage for the very first time and brought ‘Levels’ to the festival before its official release.
15 years later, the full set is finally available on YouTube. A legendary set, unforgettable memories, and music that still brings people together. youtu.be/IGaRF6dwRkQ
You can also stream this set in the Tomorrowland App, alongside his iconic MainStage sets from 2012, 2014 and 2015.
and so also goes the loss of creativity
creativity is downstream of attention and time. the more time you can spend on something, the more attention you give it. this results with more pathways explored and catalyzed.
coming soon with some form of satellite view
I've long wished that online mapping services were far richer and higher-density. They elide so much detail today! We have gloriously high-DPI screens... I want to wallow in cartographic filigree. AI of course now makes this possible: bayatlas.vercel.app

.@benthompson says consumer AI has a marketing problem because the average consumer doesn't actually want to be more productive.
"Tech companies are like, 'Let us book your flight for you!' I’ve had a personal assistant for 10 years. He does not come within an inch of booking my flights for me. That is crazy talk."
"I understand which ones are gonna be delayed. I know which seat I want to be on. So the fact that this is continually a demo is hilarious to me."
“Number two: people love shopping. They don’t want to be productive. They want to be entertained. One of the biggest forms of entertainment is shopping.”
"Also, there’s so much information on a product page. Companies have spent so much energy focusing on that. You look at apparel as a category. They’re going to tell you what size the model is wearing, and you want to know that, and you want to look at the different styles."
"The idea of having a personal agent that’s going and getting some of the information and bringing it back to you, and then you’re like, 'Well, what about this other thing? Tell me about this thing.'"
"And you have your eager tech company executive say, “Oh, I have an assistant that can do it for you!"
"And it’s like, no. Not only do I want to do it, I want to complain about it. I’m enjoying myself complaining right now, okay? Would you just let me be and live my life?"
whenever i see things like this i always think about that part of Ready Player One when they say they can monetize an ungodly amount of the screen via ads.
that said, these aren’t ads and gives the energy of a cluttered desk. not no.

this is what technology should be used for
Instead of checking my phone first thing, I set up an agent to make a "morning newspaper".
It prints while I sleep. I used grokbot @bot to pull from my calendar and email
