Internet 2027: Go smol, or go home. MVP → MSA: Minimum Survivable Audience Build something indispensable for the smallest possible audience that can sustain the business.

People arguing that UIs are dead in favor of headless are the kind of people who think a Big Mac tastes just as good blended and served through a straw.

I reckon the premiere of The Social Reckoning is going rather well, at least as far as Meta’s interests are concerned. 🙋🏼‍♂️@finkd

People tweeting postulates about Jev as if they've worked with it for decades, three days after it was released, is proof of how ridiculous the AI industry is.

Nothing seems to accelerate ethical development in twenty-something AI “whistleblowers” quite like having enough vested equity to suddenly afford principles and a moral compass.

All human-written blogs grow until they become news sites. All news sites grow until they need topic filters. All filtered news sites grow until they need algorithmic ranking. All algorithmically ranked news sites grow until they need AI summaries. All AI-summarized news sites grow until they start writing the news themselves. All AI-written news sites grow until everyone gets a different front page. All personalized news sites grow until people just want to know what everyone else is reading. Then they go back to Drudge Report.

The AI bro's optimization obsession starts to look less like a search for intelligence and more like a refusal to endure the basic friction of being alive.

Maybe the original sin was canonizing Reddit as the Internet's central, "authentic" discussion layer and then acting surprised when it became the easiest way to poison AI search. 404media.co/companies-are-us…

Google and Microsoft are committed to making their product names harder to understand than the products themselves.

As long as decentralized social requires a full-time job just to understand the protocol, proprietary platforms will keep winning. Complexity is not a feature when the goal is mass adoption, and AT/Bluesky still feels more like infrastructure discourse than an appealing consumer product.

The Ferrari Luce looks like someone designed the app first, then Jony Ive panic-wrapped a car around it.
