iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I'm brushing up on Theranos / Elizabeth Holmes content in anticipation of "You Can See Everything". Even after years of discussing on NSSD, I still started to doubt myself as to whether or not this was an earnest "fake it til you make it" situation

I'm kind of surprised to see the reaction to the Tom Cruise interview being so evasive, etc. I feel like he answered everything exactly the way he would in "real life". Classic artist mind imo. youtu.be/fkuxNGbx1qk?...

I honestly have been so checked out of the "broader conversations" around technology these days. But I enjoyed this, and the fact that "competing with China" is just one quick line is telling. My general question is: are Americans no longer interested in being a superpower?

Seeing someone post "I was at Microsoft for 35 years, and yesterday I was laid off" is still just completely mind-scrambling to me. I get it, companies aren't families, companies aren't your friends, but also... wow.

Google introduced a new feature in photos where they auto-build a digital closet for you based on your photos (specifically of you wearing the clothes, not anything in your closet). I'm pretty psyched about it and watching closely, and also trying to add new items by taking extensive selfies lol.

I maintain that among the media's biggest mistakes has been continuing to ask Trump questions as if he's a normal guy instead of asking things like "Can you explain who Jesus is" or "Describe the process of pumping gas"

I feel like most days I'm confidently using AI to do things I never could have done before, and then every once in a while I wake up thinking "I haven't personally founded 10+ companies with $100M ARR this year, I might as well check myself into a retirement home"

Senior military leaders are, overall, very smart Nearly all are broadly experienced, around the world. They have spent their careers in orgs more representative of the whole US than most corps, law firms, finance firms, univs, media orgs. They have learned to judge character. And honesty.
