This is an extraordinary advertisement because it's effectively spending 60 seconds to tell us how technology is ruining our lives. Incidentally, it fails to point out that not only is French toast not toast, but Canadian bacon is not technically bacon.

This might be the first time I’ve ever watched an Apple ad that made me actively not want to buy the product

Ben Affleck on Digger like high school bullying … you see it now with Digger a pretty ambitious interesting movie made by interesting people who have talent … if you punish movies that take risks … you’re gonna get a bunch of homogenized movies

This camera transition during the F1 race was super cool. It looks like they are using AI to sync two cameras — one in the pits and another on top of the car. You can see it when the footage speeds up at the very end.

The fight of his life. The triumph of a lifetime. Andrew Scott stars in ELSINORE, "a jaw-dropping cinematic achievement." Watch the trailer now. Only in theaters November.

Bruno Fernandes sets a terrible example for young kids watching the game. Kicks Foden while he’s on the ground, then rolls around theatrically when Foden reacts. Silly from Foden, but embarrassing from Fernandes. #manutd #mancity

Just watched OpenAI's demo of the new Astra model. The whole thing is spoken. No typing, just a person talking & the model doing the work. Being able to articulate verbally what you want is about to become a much more important skill.

Most people already know the next steps they could be taking to make their life, work, or business better... ...and most people will let those things sit on the shelf for years, if they ever take action at all. Do the things you *know* to do. Be a creator of your future.
