We did it. We have a tentative deal. Over the coming days, we'll discuss and vote on it, together, as a democratic union. But today, I want to thank every single WGA member, and every fellow worker who stood with us in solidarity. You made this possible. Thank you. #WGAStrong

Did apple just lowkey launch a v1 brain-machine-interface into the Vision Pro? One of their ex designers just tweeted this: “One of the coolest results involved predicting a user was going to click on something before they actually did. That was a ton of work and something I’m proud of. Your pupil reacts before you click in part because you expect something will happen after you click. So you can create biofeedback with a user's brain by monitoring their eye behavior, and redesigning the UI in real time to create more of this anticipatory pupil response. It’s a crude brain computer interface via the eyes, but very cool”

Tax Heaven 3000 is a visual novel that, while operating like a dating sim, actually guides you through doing your taxes. You'll have to give them personal information, including your SSN, but love is all about trust, right?

Midjourney is getting crazy powerful—none of these are real photos, and none of the people in them exist.

Every single CMO today so far at @advertisingweek: “I’m absolutely terrified of TikTok. I’m even more terrified to not be on it. The ultimate lose-lose.”

As an elder millennial who came of age when Google became a verb, I had difficulty grasping that ~40% of Gen Zers use TikTok for search. So I hosted a mini-focus group with Gen Zers to learn more. Here are 3 takeaways:

I’ll die on this hill: if you’re a changemaker, you’re an exceptional creative. Nothing takes more creativity than imagining a future that doesn’t yet exist and willing it into existence.

We heard feedback that folks were seeing a lot of irrelevant viral Tweets in their Home timeline. Happy to say that you should now be seeing fewer "SHIRTS THAT GO HARD" Tweets (unless that's what you're into)! Sharing some more context about what happened in case you’re curious🧵
