Today's (de)GenerativeAI tools just don't do it for me. Don't get me wrong I use a few. But real a real AI tools needs to point me in the direction of who I should follow and aspire to. It should point to the visionaries, artisans, creatives, experts I can follow to learn form on my on. Existing AI solutions don't offer any avenues of direction for self exploration & upskilling.

Today "engagement" is a weak metric for any kind of digital first platform. Its 2025 we need better business models, we have needed it for about a decade actually. So AI use cases have nothing to do with it. Don't let VCs & poor digital maturity in talent fool you.

I miss those days when hardware drove software not the other way around.
It's not so hard. It's not so hard and it's actually beneficial to be more transparent.
If your online subscription needs a piece hike. Give us a reason. It can be as simple a reason as 'server farm cost rising'. #SaaS #CustomerSupport #Goodwill #Ethical #BusinessDevelopment #ProductManagement

I'll say I do not like this idea one bit. Ai can't & will never achieve the right contextual emotional tone. Still very primitive even if it has improved so much, while the world sees it's current state at an improvement at say 60-70 percent, for a neurodivergent, its still at just reached 20% with all the latest innovations and bells and whistles. Its sloppy, gimmicky, its still robotic in underlying ways.

@leicamicrosystems Now this is a perfect example of not greedy, but plain old hypocritical and stupid business models.
Trying to unnecessarily attach digital subscription to a simple straight forward value delivering consumer electronics product - its so stupid.

Leica’s LUX grip is a pricey way to add camera controls to your iPhone

Leica's latest product is the LUX grip for iPhones, but it's a pricey piece of gear.

Who were the inconsiderate designers at @[email protected] & @[email protected]
Who actually thought that it was a good idea to have full screen quick settings (control center).
Terrible idea. Going full screen interrupts your neurodivergent user's flow of thinking and irritate users with short term memory issues. Inconsiderate, non-accessible design. #Apple #Google fix it.

I love the current state of tech run by silo-ed founders. Its one hypocrite attacking another hypocrite. A vicious cycle going in looks because of their sloppy excuses for innovation.

After the invasive & intrusive cloud architecture as an excuse to hike up prices, its kinda ironic that companies are now using crappy, buggy, faulty generativeAI (adding it on purpose) hike up prices.
Users didn't want cloud before, they don't want AI now.
Stop pushing things on us we do not need you greedy folks.
