Myspace is relaunching and plans to offer users an alternative to today’s addictive, algorithm driven social feeds. Brothers Chris and Tim Vanderhook, the current owners of Myspace, revealed in a recent documentary that they are preparing a major comeback for the early internet pioneer. Driven by growing frustration with modern social networks that prioritize engagement maximization and infinite scrolling, the upcoming relaunch aims to offer a healthier alternative. The owners are planning a platform that returns to the features people miss most about the early internet: chronological feeds, profile customization, and a heavy emphasis on music discovery and genuine communities rather than keeping users endlessly glued to their screens. This pivot comes as the general public experiences severe algorithm burnout. While original social media spaces began as tools to connect friends, modern platforms evolved into attention maximization systems designed to drive profit, often fueling polarization in the process. By eliminating algorithmic manipulation and focusing instead on chronological, user controlled spaces, the new Myspace hopes to revive authentic connection. Whether this ambitious relaunch can successfully challenge today’s entrenched tech giants remains to be seen, but the return to early web creativity is a timely gamble against the status quo.

Very impressive overview of the state of software development by @karpathy πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ Key takeaways for me are β€œautonomy sliders,” keep #AI on a leash, and AIs are β€œpeople spirits.”

Excellent prompt!
Gemini Nano Banana Pro. Prompt: A dreamlike, movie-quality augmented reality visual where numerous hovering Spotify player interface cards orbit the central figure (the person shown) in a complete 3D spatial composition, with each music player card strategically placed at varying distances, some prominently positioned in front and partially covering the subject, while others float behind and alongside them, utilizing the authentic Apple Music UI/Spotify UI elements playback progress indicators and featuring songs by [Artist Name]; all cards display smooth rounded edges with subtle angular perspective shifts, presenting a translucent, frosted-glass aesthetic that radiates a gentle diffused border luminescence with measured cinematic light bloom interacting organically with the ambient lighting of the scene; the composition showcases a cool-to-neutral color palette with rich yet preserved shadow detail, strategic bursts of color from album artwork, medium-high contrast levels with gradual highlight transitions, delicate focal depth variation where nearer cards maintain crisp detail while farther ones receive gentle blur treatment, and understated motion-enhancing accents, all while keeping the subject photorealistic, centrally positioned, and authentically integrated into their physical surroundings.

AI-mazing!
Nano Banana Pro has been released, and I think the day we all knew was coming is finally here – 100% indistinguishable-from-reality imagery. The model is extremely powerful. It understands physics, technical and conceptual prompts remarkably well and has superior character consistency. Thank you to @googledeepmind for the early access. I also want to shout out Google because they’ve done something really clever here. Every image generated with Nano Banana comes with an invisible watermark called SynthID. This means, whenever you see an image you suspect of being AI-generated, you can upload it to Gemini and ask – it will tell you with high accuracy whether it was uploaded by Google AI. You can try it yourself, today on @higgsfield_ai, who has very kindly sponsored this video. They’re running a 65% OFF Black Friday deal for the next few days – which is a steal.

The post suggests that Gemini 3.0 AI model has been released by Google. This is not true as of 11/15/2025. ai.google.dev/gemini-api/doc…

This is more than an #AI "use case," more than a workflow! It's AI making a difference by giving individuals support, in the face of corporate greed (!), that they never got before.
A guy just used @AnthropicAI Claude to turn a $195,000 hospital bill into $33,000. Not with a lawyer. Not with a hospital admin insider. With a $20/month Claude Plus subscription. He uploaded the itemized bill. Claude spotted duplicate procedure codes, illegal β€œdouble billing,” and charges that Medicare rules explicitly forbid. Then it helped him write a letter citing every violation. The hospital dropped their demand by 83%. This isn’t just a feel-good story. It’s a preview of what AI will really do next: flatten systems built on opacity. Hospitals, insurance companies, legal firmsβ€”all rely on asymmetry. They win because you don’t have access to the same data, code books, or language. Claude gave one person the same leverage as a compliance department. That’s a revolution. We thought AI would replace jobs. Turns out, it’s replacing excuses.
