Board / investors to CEO: What are we doing with AI? CEO to CPO: We need to do something with AI CPO to PMs: Just put something we can call AI in there so we can get back to work

This week's newsletter: It's time to call BS on generative AI and demand that companies like OpenAI actually provide useful, helpful software, and actively reject the growing coterie of hucksters using AI as a marketing tool to get media headlines. www.wheresyoured.at/put-up-or-sh...

The real engine of wealth in Silicon Valley is the marketing apparatus that convinced us what Big Tech was doing was innovation. In reality, most of the innovation largely came from weirdos fucking around on the internet, and Big Tech intervention has been killing it.

(2) Like, really. Nobody remembered Junior's real name, or pretty much anything else about him. So I investigated. Found out who he was. Told his story. And I asked readers who knew him to contact me. I expected a handful of Slacker-era Austinites to get in touch, but nobody did. 🦗

Who remembers Junior?greenleigh.medium.com He made Austin weirder. Then he disappeared. Who was he?

(1) I just got an email I've been waiting on for 3 years. There's an iconic little beer barn in Austin named Junior's. Been there since the 80s, but nobody remembered who Junior actually was!

Israel's history as a nationalist Jewish state is relevant to understanding various Israeli actions, which Palestinians have reacted to, pushed against, and grappled with in their turn. But to think that Palestinians are restive merely because Jews are ruling them is an unquestioned Israeli framing

How often do you think about guano? They fought literal wars over that shit. And ambergris? Don't get me started.

Good news.
