We can’t circumvent the work needed to train our minds

The Scam Called “You Don't Have to Remember Anything” Dear Zettlers, This scam is decades old now and it is quite surprising that people still fall for it. The search engines, old note-taking apps (you know, those with an elephant icon and the like) and AI have something in common: They claim that the effort of remembering things is outdated like using a candle in the age of electric light. The following is, by the way, from my Zettelkasten (2016): To find what you need online, you require

TikTok has turned culture into a feedback loop of impulse and machine learning

Photo by Solen Feyissa on Unsplash As of September 2025, approximately 170 million Americans spend, on average, one hour every day in an app that is designed to maximize psychological grip. While Congress fixates on TikTok’s data collection usages, what hasn’t received enough attention is how the platform has successfully industrialized human attention itself. Where earlier media relied on polished narratives (films with arcs, shows with seasons), TikTok turned culture into a never-ending feedb

James Gunn fulfilled a dream today, calling his appearance on The Howard Stern Show “one of the greatest days of my life.” The interview with Stern covered many aspects of his career, including Superman, Peacemaker, the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, and his role as the co-head of DC Studios. It’s a fun, informative segment—well worth tuning in if you have SiriusXM access—but the most newsworthy nugget came during a brief discussion of Superman follow-up Man of Tomorrow.

iPhone 17 Pro Hands-On: The Most Un-Jony Ive iPhones Apple Has Ever Made

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2025-10-26 23:34:03

I felt a sense of déjà vu as I picked up the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max—in Cosmic Orange, of course—at the “Awe Dropping” Apple Event and tried to pin down what about these new Apple smartphones felt so familiar. Then it hit me as I left the Steve Jobs Theater in a tired daze last night: the iPhone 17 Pros remind me of the MacBook Pros with M1 Pro and M1 Max chips. Like those first “pro” MacBooks, the iPhone 17 Pros are actually built for pros. It’s not just “pro” for marketing. The iPhone 17

Alright, pal, you wanna keep reading? Why don’t you tell me which of these pictures does not have a stop sign in it? According to CloudFlare, nearly one-third of all internet traffic is now bots. Most of those bots, you won’t ever directly interact with, as they are crawling the web and indexing websites or performing specific tasks—or, increasingly, collecting data to train AI models. But it’s the bots that you can see that have people like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and others questioning (albeit

If the AI Industry Fails, It Could Take the Rest of Us Down With It

Don't let AI critics tell you it's good for nothing: the amount of money being spent on AI infrastructure is so enormous that it’s literally propping up the US economy. The drawback, of course, is that if the AI industry fails, it could drag the rest of the economy down with it. In 2024, the S&P 500 grew by an incredible 24 percent — what the investment firm Charles Schwab understatedly called a "very good year."
