I’ve been a fan for more than a decade now — his past 4-5 albums have been frequently on rotation at home over the years, and I’m fascinated by the creative freedom and artistry he seems to shape for himself.
After a first act dedicated to Chromakopia, he walked over a bridge to reach the small center stage, set like a living room (with a sofa, a desk, a turntable, and a crate of vinyl records.) He browsed through the crate containing his previous albums and other Easter eggs and influences and would then pick his albums and put them onto the turntable to play the hits.
Such a cool yet simple concept hit it was executed beautifully!
Finished watching the new season of Severance but also wrapped up Yellowstone this week.
Severance: continues to be a mystery wrapped in an enigma although the secrets were unveiled throughout the course of this second season and I’m really curious where they take it.
Yellowstone: despite the numerous, unfortunate drama behind the scenes, I’m glad they were able to wrap it up, and look forward to catching up on the spinoffs.
Love that I can count you as a friend @danigiacopelli:
As the world leans further into AI and as traditional coding jobs become extinct, the only real differentiator or ‘moat’ left for businesses will be either 1) building an actual community and/or 2) creating things you can touch and feel. That’s the one thing AI can’t replicate and probably/hopefully never will.
Recently created 2 AI Agents to help me in my job — a great exercise for me, considering I’m in a customer-facing role and non-technical position.
One agent helps me be better in my role/department.
One agent is focused on the industry I’m working in
Basically, one focuses on our vertical, and one is more horizontal, by contrast. Doing so is a real timesaver, while not breaching any confidentiality or confidential information. Really powerful stuff that is already paying dividens and making me better at my job…
The misogynists of Gilead say “Blessed be the fruit”; ours say “Grab ’em by the pussy.” Still, the sadism of the show’s fictional world finds ample comparisons in our own.
Humility, prudence, and honesty are not just nice virtues to have—they are practical tools that produce good outcomes. When you replace them with greed, lust, hypocrisy, and dishonesty, terrible things happen.
Been stuck on something for work the past few days — something minor but couldn’t wrap my head around it.
Took some time to formulate it to my AI overlords, with the right context and suddenly things are cleared up. I love using it to help me gain clarity — feels kinda super power-ish
Think of any game you played as a kid and I can almost guarantee you that you can play that game today “across new devices and in new ways” today. This doesn’t need AI at all, it’s been happening for decades via emulation.
¡Atléti por favor!
Absolutely rooting for the Colchoneros tonight in the #ChampionsLeague return game against their archrival and perennial Karen-team Real Madrid
A Fantasy Baseball update:
My draft was on Sunday, mid-afternoon, so I had to draft using the Yahoo Mobile App, while being out and about, hanging out with friends.
It was a nice and refreshing view compared to team-specific documentaries I’ve seen in the football (⚽️) world, and I really enjoyed the variety of discovering different teams, personalities, and players!
For someone like me, based in Europe, it was super useful to learn more about this league and its personalities. I wish more teams were covered, but I’m assuming that this would be the case if the show was to get renewed for another few seasons… MLS has definitely had the perception of being the “soon-to-be in the Top 5 of football leagues in the world” for 15 years now and we’re still waiting to see it happen, but at least the marketing has been good and the level of play has increased significantly. Though there’s still a lot of work to be done at youth level for the sport to become as mainstream and universal as it is in the rest of the world.
Next up on my watchlist:
Drive to Survive (Season 7), before the start of the new Formula 1 season, this weekend.
