OpenAI's AI Pen Could Turn Your Scribbles Into ChatGPT Gold - Phandroid OpenAI's secretive Gumdrop pen turns handwriting into ChatGPT notes via Foxconn in Vietnam, dodging China after disputes.

I think a question needs to be posed by the concept of "ambient AI"β€”who wants it?

I still see a gap between what tech companies think users want vs what they actually need. Privacy and security issues still seem like they need to be solved for. #ai #design

I'd wager that paywalls will cause younger generationsβ€”who get their news from free social media sites and podcastsβ€”to receive more misinformation. Critical thinking pieces grounded in fact should not be behind a paywall during uncertain times. @nytimes.com @wsj.com @washingtonpost.com

Fans Are Livid Over a Beloved Daily Puzzle's New Paywall 'Seriously, the worst morning ever,' one person said.

Looks like the @nytimes.com has paywall’ed the crossword mini game. I’ve lost about 1 minute of pleasure in the mornings now. parade.com/living/new-y...

I had a recruiter reach out with a long message about the company they are representing and what their product does. It was written just like GenAI would write it.

The whole message could be replaced with "Hey, you seem talented. Any interest in a role at X? Let's chat if so!"

In the era of GenAI, short conversational digital messages are trusted more than verbose professional messages. Its too easy to assume something verbose was created lazily via AI rather than a short message that is worded just like normal human communication. #ai #llms #genai #productdesign

Honestly, Anthropic should consider allowing Claude Code pro users the ability to bypass usage limits incrementally as opposed to simply referring them to buy the Max plan. I'd be willing to bet some people would pay for an extra hour or two at a higher rate when they have some momentum coding. #ai
