And this week, my list of intriguing new tools to chew over led me to a really neat app for a specific type of list thinking.
It’s a thoughtfully crafted tool that’s designed to give you a better, more pleasant setup for sharing lists—with friends, family, coworkers
We are officially reaching the phase in the tech cycle where a new technology (in this case, artificial intelligence) goes from truly wondrous to truly annoying. Every organization now seems to be using it—or the idea of it—to ride the hype wave to achieve attention, clicks, or, you know, just a few more customers. And it’s starting to annoy the hell out of m
Amazon’s announcement last week that it was ditching its Just Walk Out technology from its U.S. Fresh stores, which allowed customers to shop and leave without checking out through a register, came with an interesting silver lining: The tech behemoth was replacing that technology with another shopping innovation, this time revolving around the shopping cart itself.

Artificial intelligence companies may have to become a lot more transparent about how they train their models, if a new bill from Rep. Adam Schiff passes in Congress. Schiff has proposed the Generative AI Copyright Disclosure Act, which would require firms like OpenAI to list the copyrighted works they use to build generative-AI systems. The bill comes amid a growing outcry about the burgeonin
A disclaimer about this newsletter’s title: I didn’t quite watch 243 one-minute startup pitches myself during Y Combinator’s Demo Day last week. I think I probably set a personal record for pitch consumption, though. It was a rewarding experience, albeit an occasionally dizzying one.

The ‘Gram is doing a lot of heavy lifting for Meta.
That’s one of the key takeaways from court documents filed by Meta last week, as the company attempts to get a federal antitrust lawsuit dismissed.
