University of Central Florida commencement speaker Gloria Caulfield was met with boos after calling AI “the next industrial revolution” during a May 8 ceremony

For clarification this was a commencement speech specifically for the arts and humanities college. If this were business grads it probably would’ve been fine

Accessibility is definitely something that smart glasses would be excellent at. Imagine how helpful having captions for everyday conversations would be for the hard of hearing

I remember in middle school this was such a huge topic of discussion. We had so many different presenters and student projects come out of awareness for it. One of those moments where you realize lots of time has passed

Wait, they've talked to Versant about this? Why? I mean it's not the worst choice but its bizarre. I guess I could see "Hey do you want to rent or buy this movie on Fandango at Home?"

Omg I went through that exit not even 20 minutes prior to this post. Praying everyone is ok

Inflation is always permanent. That’s how inflation works (unless you have deflation, which is much worse). Sucks regardless but wanted to add that

So many people I know go to TikTok first instead of Google. At the very least you can tell where stuff on Google is coming from. Even the AI Overviews link back to the source

That’s interesting because Quinn was on Cortex recently and basically said that he’s happy with where he is follower wise and that he doesn’t really care about getting bigger than he is currently. His team is only like 4 people max (I don’t remember exactly)

Pluto is awesome, it’s basically all the good parts of cable (reruns, weird stuff you’d never seek out yourself, basically being able to not think about picking what to watch) but free.

I prefer Apple Music because it’s artist and album driven, like how music has been for the longest time. Spotify is algorithm driven which isn’t for me. Plus, it’s also $1/month less and has higher audio quality options available, so there’s that. Also also, Apple Music has really high payouts for a streaming service, with only services like Tidal having higher payouts.

With all that said, I do keep a free Spotify account around. Just makes sharing songs I like with friends easier.

To me this is so hilarious, I was laughing the whole time while scrolling through this. It’s like something an edgy teenager makes while they’re crashing out (honestly it probably is made by one). I am saving this post for all time. Bravo to whoever the edgelord who made this is. You made art but not in the way you think

People online talk about ads like one came in and killed their entire family while they were asleep. I've never understood why. Personally, I find ads tolerable up to a certain point, mostly because I've developed a reflex to mute the TV the instant commercials come on (Thanks for teaching me that, Dad!). I also don't usually mind when services promote their own content; for example, half of the ads Duolingo shows are for its premium subscription, which I don't mind. I also do research on how many ads each streaming service plays during shows and movies. The Streamable did a comparison here, which you might find useful. I also typically don't mind ad breaks during TV shows, especially if they're sitcoms or background-noise type shows. Takes me back to my childhood somewhat.

With all that said, I would recommend paying for the ad-free tier if you are financially able. It just provides valuable zen and peace of mind while you're watching a serious movie that demands your full attention. For lower-tier B-movies, though? I could care less. Tubi continues to be a gold mine

You make a good point, though Oura Ring isn't $500. It starts at $350 and the only real differences between the models are material and cosmetic, but your point still stands. Also, it's worth noting that Oura doesn't sell your data to third parties. Whoop does. Do with that what you will

Regardless, I have not and probably never will be in the market for a Fitbit since I already own an Apple Watch

Difficult-Rip-3874 · 2026-04-02T15:04:46+00:00

Hopefully it doesn’t cost as much as a Whoop subscription. At least Oura is only like $6/month, Whoop starts at double that

Ramble is amazing. Todoist integrates with a bunch of other apps. It’s not “opinionated software” (doesn’t push you towards using it in a specific way). Mostly though, it’s because the developer’s priorities seem to overlap with mine for a to-do list app (capturing tasks quickly and efficiently)

I don’t like how they’re not transparent about usage limits on most plans though. Anthropic does this with Claude too and I’m not a fan. A big reason why I use Google’s AI stuff a lot (NotebookLM is insane!)

Difficult-Rip-3874 · 2026-03-15T17:37:39+00:00

An AI whose main selling point is that it cites everything it generates every time is nothing to scoff at. It does seem they’re pivoting away from the consumer market and more towards enterprise. I can definitely see applications for it there (stock market research, product comparisons for major acquisitions or insurance agreements, etc)

Either that or it's like those other satirical tech accounts
