I’ve realized that for me… ChatGPT is just Janet from The Good Place.

It’s got to tick Disney off that, other than Andor, the best Star Wars content since Rogue One has been AI generated Stormtroopers.

Starting our analysis of the WWDC Keynote - https://t.co/e9txsDgJzx

Apple Keynote Hot Take - - LOCAL PODCAST RECORDING ON IPAD - BOOM - New interface is nice. Nothing groundbreaking - Lot's on new features for kids on iPhones - Translation feels a little clunky but it will be useful now and you can see the future (Star Trek) - I will use Notes

My daughter isn’t taking PE junior and senior year because A) it’s not required (she’s fit) and B) PE tests are too much work (she has AP courses). TESTS? How did we ruin a great way to exercise regularly and blow off some steam during school by making it academic? Idiocy.

My hat arrived. Not a fan boy at all :) @slateauto https://t.co/xCzp3ihlXZ

Over 30 years ago, I waited tables for a few months between gigs. I had a guest, Rich, would order the same thing 2-3 times a week when bringing clients to the resturant. I slowly customized his experience and made sure everything was perfect every time. He asked for me

Great thread. Many of us who have actually worked on films keep saying this… if you think a few clips are going to lead to a cohesive film, they aren’t. We are much further away from a real film people want to watch than most people posting about AI think.

As someone who spends a lot of time in the short form world of advertising, I see some incredible filmmakers do incredible things with millions of dollars of budget, ad buy, and relationship resource… slick sleight of hand. Cotton candy storytelling. But I can tell you...

Most breakthroughs don’t come from analysis and data. They come from a contrarian hunch that turns out to be true.

We had a great session about LED wall construction and use on Office Hours last week... https://t.co/J00KdhZpEV

When not using IAP purchases… 25-45% drop in conversion rates. Because users don’t like it. Developers that think they can just run over the users for more profit may be in for a rude awakening.

We have initial data from our large scale test of web purchases. We're seeing a 25% to 45% drop in conversion rate when comparing a fully IAP experience to a fully web based flow with equivalent prices and products. https://t.co/puForVgwKq

The thinner Apple makes the iPhone, the more likely people put in in a case to protect it (because it’s more fragile). I haven’t had a phone without a case for well over a decade.

3rd Party Payments in the App Store suck. USERS don't want to share our data. USERS want an easy way to manage subscriptions. USERS don't want to deal with every company's dumb idea for sign-in. Take me outside the App Store to pay - I will give you 1-star. Like if you agree

Beyond Crypto… this is what 95% of everyone that makes products misses. The experience is from the time you order something , or even visit the site, until you throw it away someday in the future. Every part of that experience matters.

every single person working on a crypto product needs to watch this. i dont care if you're a founder or intern, ops or marketing. any role and any place in the org chart. watch and rewatch. this is what crypto is missing. https://t.co/6HL0id5RnQ

How many movies have you seen in a movie theater over the last 12 months?
