People are out there building billion-dollar companies with AI. …Meanwhile I’m finding Untitled chats I must have started with Claude consisting of ‘and there we go’ and nothing else. We are not the same 🙃

Why film in San Jose when you can film in San Jose directly under a flight path with huge yellow hummers driving round blaring mariachi music so you're recording sound on hard mode 🙃

I love that moment when a guest finds out a MAD headline is actually real, or something totally believable is entirely made up. Tech is stranger than fiction...

Can we just take a moment to appreciate this absolute legend that went to Saint Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican with his laptop just to jump on a Teams call.

Yesterday, Bebo closed after being launched in 2005 🥹 I'll be honest i didn't even know it was still going, and quite like the idea that there were people still using their profiles from the pre-Myspace days. Enjoy website heaven, Bebo, you will not be forgotten.

Twitter.... is back?! Okay not quite, but somebody has launched a company called Twitter, arguing that X gave up the rights to the name (and even the word "tweet") when they changed their name. Brb i'm off to build MySpace.

It should be criminal to follow/chat to someone online for like 6 years and not meet. I've been following @eddiejaoude since I joined socials, and (somehow) we've never met, even virtually. ...Until now 😏 Weds 11:30 BST (12:30 CEST), I'm FINALLY gonna verify if Eddie is real.

This is good news and we all agree, right? Right?! I mean aside from the obvious and ongoing copyright/IP issues regarding models stealing licensed content etc... AI music just sucks and feels like the audio version of the boomer slop AI videos your grandpa shares on Facebook 🤷‍♂️

Madness. Sold a TV years ago on Marketplace, ended up giving the guys a lift (with the TV) to their house, because they were students and had travelled on the bus. Turns out they studied the same degree as me, so I gave some advice. 2 years later, they send this.... 🤯

I’ve added ‘quietly’ to the list of words you just can’t use anymore, because AI does. For example: ‘AI has been quietly making communication stale and robotic’ 🙃 Okay, what did I miss?

I just cancelled my ChatGPT plus subscription, and got Claude instead. Everywhere I look, developers say Claude Code is unmatched when it comes to writing code, and while it might not generate images or videos, it's 25% cheaper 😲 Is GPT being left behind? 🤔

Most developers use AI, but we all use it differently. How are you using it? Like how does it fit into your workflow? I’ve used Cursor up until now, but am about to move to Claude Code, and to be honest still haven’t really got into MCP so I need to catch up 😅

If you describe 'a developer' in an AI image prompt... it makes me. Nice to know I'm quite literally, statistically, the most common and average person on earth. My mum always said I wasn't special 🙃

Apple gave us Apple Intelligence (that nobody asked for) and liquid glass (that nobody likes) before they added a way to label or customise cards in Apple Pay. Oh so you have two accounts with the same bank and want them both in wallet? Okay cool good luck 🙃

Experimenting with making some 'premium' features only available to one-time sponsors of ProfileMe. Thought this would be an interesting way to monetise the project, while giving something cool back to supporters. To test it... I've sponsored myself 🥳
