The current set of AI tools reminds me of the early days of the internet, with its related and/or competing technologies, like Usenet, Telnet, WAIS, FTP, Gopher and WWW/HTTP. Nobody yet knew which would succeed or fail. It was a time of curiosity, excitement -- and nervousness
🦫 Browsing the web in Netscape I just ended up on the gopher:// part of the internet and it's still alive. Gopher is the actual predecessor to the modern WWW, no modern browser supports it anymore. But Netscape does, and there's actually a whole world out there of people still

Dark UX? Or simply persuasion psychology in the UI?
I’m obsessed with what makes a paywall work. So I spent the last hours inside @screensdesign_ dissecting 7 apps making a combined $3.5M+/month. They share some fascinating secrets. Here’s what I discovered 🧵👇.1/9

When we dream, we’re *in* the dream, experiencing it. So, who is creating the dream world? . Is the “self” that constructs the dream the same self that experiences it (and/or the self that remembers it)?. O body swayed to music, .O brightening glance,.How can we know the dancer

I've always admired these 10x engineers who saw a problem, fixed it as a side project, and created a great new product. But with today's AI tools, you no longer need to be a 10x engineer to achieve this. (I'm not going to say ANYONE can do this. In theory, yes. In practice,.
1/ In 2005, @avichal visited NYC and kept getting lost on the subway. Late to dinner and frustrated, he wondered:. If Google Maps can route me anywhere by car, why can’t it get me on the right train?. So on his flight home, he wrote the product spec for Google Transit. 🧵
