Wouldn't #Microsoft products be more sticky in 2026 if they opened up their platform to work with the agent of my choosing rather than forcing me to use Copilot?

.@British_Airways has quite optimized EVERYTHING to be as least helpful as possible. It’s quite astonishing. Lost baggage at LHR? Forget it. Zero stars, do not recommend. There’s nothing more frustrating than dealing with a company who’s not interested in helping the customers.

Shipping container home gyms are incredibly underrated. For a 40 ft high cube (ideal for squat racks,) they're ~$3k delivered. With a little sweat equity, you could have an absolute gym palace right in your backyard.

There was a time when peak American innovation was to put a salad in a cup. Now we have software that can take words and do a mediocre job of turning it into a picture. It's like when you go to an art gallery and you see something that makes no sense and they call it "abstract"

"Here is my professional headshot (and I attached it). Draw a picture of me at a desk writing software." Safe to say that we have a long way to go with #ai. #ChatGPT
