Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Migrated my personal email from Google Workspace to @proton.me. I don't want to pay more money for useless Google AI products that I have no interest in using, especially without being asked. Migration took ~30min of work, and a few hours spent waiting for DNS updates.

Only major flaw so far is Proton doesn't seem to support the Apple iOS Mail app because of lack of encryption/decryption. I'd prefer not to use any other e-mail client. Would have been nice to know up front.

Curious how it would feel to have an LLM prioritize content across my feeds and then do a layout and render it each day. As a user I could vote a certain layout or feed up/down which would get stored in a database and be included in the layout prompt.

Zuckerberg farted out some nonsense today, and since most media outlets refuse to report critically any time a tech CEO offers them some a pseudoserious press release, I've decided to do it for them. sonjadrimmer.com/blog-1/2025/7/30/how-to-read-an-ai-press-release

A surprising life hack on linkedin is having my middle name in my profile. I get a lot of DMs opening with "Hi Kevin Nørby", which is a great indicator that it's a mass DM masked as a personal one.

The amount of new features in Bun 1.2 is staggering. I've been using Bun for more than a year now, and it feels like the thing that might finally make javascript development feel simpler. (and it's ridiculously fast)

Finally cancelled Spotify subscription after many years. On Apple Music now, and found it pretty easy to migrate everything over using Playlisty. Also subscribe to NTS and SoundCloud Go. That's where the good stuff is.

Previous years I used Spotify religiously, discovering 2-300 artists a year, but this year I feel like Discover Weekly got really boring. Now I almost exclusively listen to NTS.live, might cancel my Spotify subscription soon.

Much of the current discourse frames GAI either as an esoteric, almost divine technology or simply as "just ChatGPT." However, I believe it’s far more compelling to think of it as a material — one we can use creatively to build entirely new types of products, tools, and services.

Im so happy my last corporate role, before LLMs went public, was a managerial role. I’ve used a lot of the ways I would lead and coach my team in how I prompt.

Ethan Mollick@emollick.bsky.social

An observation is that managers and teachers are often much better at “getting” LLMs than coders. Coders deal with deterministic systems. Managers and teachers are very experienced at working with fundamentally unreliable people to get things done, not perfectly, but within acceptable tolerances.

As 2025 approaches, I have room in my schedule for new client projects. I’m generally available for technology exploration, particularly in the areas of physical technology products and generative AI concepts. I’d appreciate a repost or any leads! Here are a few projects from the past year:

→ Product design and front-end development for an enterprise SaaS product (from Figma through Next.js). → Concept lead, including full-stack hands-on prototyping (hardware, firmware, software) for an educational technology product.

I paid 100% and I’m telling you this is a steal. Fantastic resource for learning @threejs.org but also connecting it to other things like Blender or React. Great intro to shader programming too

Some of my favorite artists/labels host shows there. It feels personal and curated. I listen to a much more diverse range of genres and there’ll often be music that isn’t released on traditional platforms.

3) What a material can do is not static Although steam bending wood has been around for centuries, it wasn't until Michael Thonet applied it to furniture design that people realized wooden furniture could take on new shapes. Similarly, the GPT model existed for years before ChatGPT.

1) Technologies are materials All materials have functional, ethical, and aesthetic values shaped by their users and the world around us. Good design is about knowing how much of each material to use, when to use it, and how different materials come together to serve a purpose.

2) Materials don't doom or save us With every wave, people claim a technology will either doom or save us. The truth usually lies somewhere in between, and it's our responsibility as designers to navigate this. We do so by working with materials to deepen our understanding.

Over the three weeks, the students created all kinds of fun and aspirational prototypes, including drawing apps, personalized menstrual cycle trackers, creative writing interfaces, motivational poster generators, and much more. A few key points from the course:
