Dr. John Barentine FRAS40 years ago at this hour: "Flight controllers here are looking very carefully at the situation. Obviously a major malfunction."
Merlin MannSome folks I love and admire do come off sounding a little like the same people who loudly hated Little Richard and disco music.
Honestly, sometimes it's legit difficult to notice when we've gotten more emotionally invested than we'd realized in seeming right.
And that shit is a LOT to decide to carry forever.
Reece MartinIt’s amazing that we’re going to cause a societal population collapse and steal away the pleasure of starting a family from a generation so that boomers can feel like they made a good bet on the housing market

Anyways I wrote about my hands on with Dot for Ride AI here: https://open.substack.com/pub/rideai/p/doordash-launches-the-cutest-20mph?r=57ssvd&utm_medium=ios
bad news "AI bubble doomers". I've found the LLMs to be incredibly useful and reduce the workload (and/or make people much, MUCH more effective at their jobs with the "centaur" model).
Is it overhyped? FUCK Yes. Salespeople Gotta Always Be Closing. But this is NOTHING like the moronic Segway (I am still bitter about that crap), Cryptocurrency, which is all grifters and gamblers and criminals end-to-end, and the first dot-com bubble where not NEARLY enough people had broadband or even internet access, plus the logistics systems to support shipping products was nowhere REMOTELY where it is today.
If you are expecting this "AI bubble" to pop anytime soon, uh.. you might be waiting a bit longer than you think? Overhyped, yes, overbuilding, sure, but not remotely a true bubble any any of the same senses of the three examples I listed above 👆. There's something very real, very practical, very useful here, and it is getting better every day.
If you find this uncomfortable, I'm sorry, but I know what I know, and I can cite several dozen very specific examples in the last 2-3 weeks where it saved me, or my team, quite a bit of time.
It used to be that Apple product line market segmentation could be boiled down to base model < Air < Pro. In the 2025 iPhone line, we see a change. Over the base model, the upgrades in the Pro model favor performance over physical design, while the upgrades in the Air model favor physical design over performance. Notably, the iPhone Air doesn’t seem to compromise on essentials like display technology or screen size, just for the sake of market segmentation.
Todd Vaziri“Raiders of the Lost Ark” was made in 1981, depicting a story from 1936. That’s 45 year difference.
Next year (2026) is the 45th anniversary of “Raiders of the Lost Ark”.
