My computer has been "dinging" like it's found a device for months. At some point, I just muted the system sounds (like putting tape over the check-engine-light). I was finally tired of it. I used AI to help me locate exactly what was wrong. It was the USB hub in my monitor.

Did I get spam/phishing that look like @Docusign tasks today? Does the day end in a "y"?

I want to coin a term: appmogging. appmogging (verb) — rapidly building an AI-assisted app that makes an established product look bloated, overpriced, overbuilt, or slow by reproducing its useful functionality with a fraction of the resources. 1/15

So maybe the goal isn’t to prevent appmogging. It's to become **appmog-resistant**. My rough formula: Appmog resistance = domain knowledge × data × ecosystem × distribution × network × rate of adaptation Notice what’s missing: lines of code. 14/15

The companies that win may not be the ones best at protecting their software from AI. They may be the ones best at **capturing AI-created value**. Don’t fight the AIC. Build a platform where other people’s AIC makes your product stronger.

And now they are running radio and TV ads saying they are spending more than ever. Can we report that to the @CRTCfra ?
Hey @krushowy @ColinDMello @TinaYazdani - this graph should be front page news, going into back-to-school season! People deserve facts, not spin. #onted #onpoli policyalternatives.ca/news-r…

Thoughts no one asked for: Why is "chipotle" pronounced Chip-pote-lay? Do we pronounce bottle as "boat-lay" or "bot-lay"?
