One week into using the new iPhone Duo, and I think this is the biggest adjustment Iāve made to a phone since moving from BlackBerry to the original iPhone.
Wrote about my experiences with it this week: gregswan.substack.com/p/the-ā¦
Talking about the internet on the radio machine with @derushaj on @wcco #gregswanexplainstheinternet
We're the full-size candy bar house for trick or treating. But chocolate = expensive! Looking like .91 cents/each at cheapest. Am trying to convince my wife that feeder goldfish are .25/each, and we could make some AMAZING MEMORIES by handing kids plastic baggies of goldfish
If you've caught a coworker saying "delve" out loud in a meeting this week, congrats, you've seen lexical entrainment in the wild, and the research says a short chat with a bot is enough to plant its words in your own vocabulary.

Good piece from @Pogue explaining the Hugging Face hack and the calls for slowdown. He does such a good job teeing up complicated tech and explaining it for normal people cbsnews.com/video/will-artifā¦
The @HomeDepot Saban doorbell commercial is triggering my dog over and over. And Iām seeing a ton of hate on social from dog owners (going back two weeks since it started airing). And my Gen Z kids said we should only shop at Loweās from now on if it plays again. Weird strategy.

So this is frighteningā¦ Metaās new AI agent Muse asking me if itās okay if it clicks the āI am humanā checkboxes without asking me for future searchesā¦.
Facebook Messenger has added a āTurn into songā option when you long press a message. Then you select genre and it drops the song straight into your chat.
Taking the Text-to-Song trend where people were using Suno to make comedic songs from group tests and making it native.
AI assistants are finally getting useful enough for normal people. Now comes the trust problem. gregswan.substack.com/p/wereā¦ #Muse
I also set up a monitor of Facebook Marketplace to tell me if used Wii games go on sale within 5 miles of my house. And to send a group text thread a message if limousines go on sale for <$5000 (Iām trying to get my friend group to pool dollars and buy one, of course).
And to text my daily step count to @josephrueter at 9:45 pm each night. And to flash my porch lights when @tbrunelle texts me. And moreā¦
