It’s insane to think that every time I need an infinite canvas for some purpose in any project, AI just throws it in perfectly in a few minutes. Often not much more effort than spinning up one in a dedicated app (like Figjam / Miro).

In some odd way, in NYC you can be a minimalist materialist because you can so easily and quickly resell anything on marketplace.

The 'flatiron belt' is slowly but surely becoming one of the most important technology hubs in the world and i'm here for it
Dot finally supports multiple local desktops. This is going to be a massive unlock for me as it can finally sync my dev environments for me, offload tasks that can't be done in the cloud to an always-on local machine (accessing Amazon for example) and helping me manage my Mac Mini in general (like my media servers, etc). The team is improving quickly and closed out a ton of issues I posited in my review. Love to see it.
btw - we've rollout out the ability to connect multiple computers to your dot 💻💻
all part of a bunch of improvements for how dots interact with desktop codex that we are working on.
try it out

I don’t think I’ve touched Fable since Opus 5.5 came out. Am I missing out unless I’m trying to solve millennium price problems?
Introducing Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2, designed to tackle the most daunting technical challenges.
They’re capable collaborators on ambitious projects in many fields, and show improvements in areas like coding, reasoning, and vision.

I believe it’s absolutely existential for Apple to get right. If their entire software org is not pivoting to this in crisis mode, it’s not enough. There’s no larger threat to iPhone moat than personal agent OS from Meta or OpenAI with their own hardware.
NEW in Power On: Apple eyes autonomous, agentic Siri as early as next year to rival ChatGPT Dots, Meta Muse, Grok. The goal is to move beyond responding to commands to an assistant that can proactively manage tasks and get things done on your behalf. bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

Ok Opus 5.5 on Extra effort is goated. I was a Max-only (and Ultra if a reset is near) but I may have finally been converted.

I’ve gone through a dozen habit tracker apps and eventually settled on a niche one that clicked for me in terms of functionality, simplicity, aesthetics, etc.
But the developer abandoned it like a year ago. So I had Claude walk through the app using my iPhone and recreate it 1:1 down to micro-interactions and sounds.
Now I can do whatever I want with it. Already added an MCP and better widgets. It took Claude an hour on extra effort and about 10 min of my time.
We live in crazy times.

Finally got the Xteink X4 Pro in mist grey and even found a great magnetic grip case to go along with it. I was a huge fan of X4 and now with backlight and touch I’m unstoppable.

I always felt like I had a secret super power, but now the secret is out. @stratechery "Sharp Tech" podcast is now generally free to watch & listen on any podcast platform.
Now, it was an open secret but it was under a paid subscription. From my early days as a startup PM to a designer in big tech, @benthompson's writing has been my key to understanding the industry. It's not an understatement to say that he taught me how to think about tech strategy.
Don't sleep on it.

Generally finding Dot is pretty poor at self-improvement. This is something I liked in Hermes - it would very explicitly go and update memories and files if it screwed up to make sure it doesn’t happen again, especially if you asked it to. Dot just profusely apologizes, gives some excuses, and then does it again the next day.
Dot lately regularly fails to do most of what I asked it to do in the background.
For example, I asked it to audit my work in Claude Code & Codex and log it as completed work in my Craft daily note. It hits some automatic approval gate I don’t know about and silently fails, without telling me.
Doesn’t matter that I created custom rules and verbally approved everything 10x over. This is just one example out of many.

You’ll be much better off as a designer when you realize that the things that make shiny demos get attention online are most often incompatible with what makes your product actually useful, usable, and effective.

Good step forward but still miles behind.
The expanded Siri AI is actually a bigger deal – from Apple:
"Today’s preview allows any app to bring its content and actions directly into Siri AI by using App Intents"
So Apple is moving away from specific domains. This is great.
