It’s interesting that the most groundbreaking individuals in the world believe AI will improve human productivity, not replace it. That it will aid in human progress, not destroy us. Better start listening. Perhaps with one ear to start.

And on cue, Apple will be raising prices soon.

“The person who pays for the job is the one who decides if it’s valuable. Calling it pointless from the outside is just substituting your judgment for theirs.” Write it down in your quote book or shout it from the rooftops — this is some gold from Seth Godin.

Detailed. Refined. Dedicated to the plan. I would never suggest you follow this investing methodology, but it’s sometimes fun to see what an absolute dedication to this sort of mechanical investing.

Great website. Even greater music player design. I, like so many folks, yearn for a better music experience on the Mac.

I have only somewhat recently discovered the power of AI dictation tools and the ability to dictate lengthy work — like, perhaps, this blog post! — rather than type everything out.

Intriguing app that appears to monitor various inputs — be they messages, calendars, Notion or Slack workspaces — and provides you insight into your daily matters. In many ways, you are likely able to achieve this sort of thing via MCP and other AI tools, but Patina promises a more beautiful and seamless way to do so.

I just received my invite for Patina, so I’ll report back when I’ve tested more.
