pdx: if you lost your guitar — or you need a new album cover — it’s in the middle of hawthorne blvd AI generated stock video, wow what a game changer. I mean just look at this flawless, totally normal “Sports Team Locker Room” from Adobe Stock

@cabel Just add some music and you have the opening credits for an anime series about lockers. @cabel I am definitely not going to have nightmares tonight after watching this. I think I'm to unnerved to sleep now. Apple Intelligence in 15.1 just flagged a phishing email as “Priority” and moved it to the top of my Inbox. This seems… bad

@cabel what you get when a bunch of managers instruct everyone to use "latest AI" on everything, when a simple decades old approach based on rules and simpler ML would have caught that. @cabel so far on my end it almost seems like somebody accidentally left a negative value in the proverbial "target priority" variable lol. ... on a serious note though, given what we know about LLMs... how could they ever be actually good at junk mail parsing ??? *unless* you really did prompt... "everything *you* gauge to be a priority goes straight to junk and all the stuff you were junking before gets flagged."

@cabel “OK, Cabel. This is a simple word association exercise. Say the first thing that comes to mind when I say, ‘plane.’” (I won’t watch this video because I’m embarrassed. That said, I was 40% less nervous than my last talk ten years ago, which feels like progress, and I did enjoy making the slides! Also hilariously I gave a talk at *GDC* without mentioning that we… publish video games?!) BUT ANYWAY!!!!!! Here is a talk I gave. From: @playdate

I never in a million years imagined that one day you’d be able to write Playdate games in Swift (!!!). Hard for me to express how cool this is, and my deepest thanks to the Swift team for the energy boost! https://www.swift.org/blog/byte-sized-swift-tiny-games-playdate/

✨ It’s true. I’ve been working on this blog post for ten years. You see, I’ve been slowly buying up nearly 70 super rare issues of a 80s/90s gadget catalog that meant the world to me growing up. And in the process, I’ve uncovered the secret history of this lost copywriting art. PLUS, as a bonus, I’ve scanned every single issue — so you can read them all. I hope you enjoy: https://cabel.com/2023/11/06/dak-and-the-golden-age-of-gadget-catalogs/ Addendum: • If you know someone that likes this kind of business, please share the link! • You can own one of these rare catalogs, if you act fast! I’ve put my extras on eBay, starting at just $5. https://www.ebay.com/usr/cabelsa I found a "Video Professor" VHS tape digitized on YouTube. I edited it down, but this is EXACTLY how it was uploaded. The original description said "I apologize the audio is choppy", and I… I think they sorely undersold that one Happy Halloween

The folks that worked on this LEGO age check text field (!!) are automatically the best web developers on the planet right (Sound on for perfection)

Some product redesigns spotted live in the wild. (New on right.) The last one is especially shocking to me — after all this time, they finally bit the bullet and renamed to what everyone (non-Canadian) calls it already!! Huge news! Think of the lawyer time involved

@cabel the Jello looks great, except for the drop shadow on the flavor text. It’s just a little too much. @cabel Today I learned that the 2017 Fanta redesign wasn't global https://www.designweek.co.uk/issues/20-26-march-2017/fanta-rolls-rebrand-new-bottle-design-uk/. Originally done by Koto (excellent) https://koto.studio/work/fanta/ then sanitised for global by JKR https://www.dezeen.com/2023/04/04/fanta-rebrand-global-identity-coca-cola-jones-knowles-ritchie/

A short story. We once submitted Untitled Goose Game to the Mac App Store. It was rejected by the reviewer because they thought you couldn’t skip the credits. (?!?) We explained that you could skip the credits by holding space. It was then rejected for something else and at that point we just gave up and never bothered to resubmit. Fin

@cabel What was the "else" it was rejected for? > It was then rejected for something else Imagine what the world would be like if you could just skip the iOS app store the same way. |
@cabel @catsalad Patiently waiting for the QR chips before I do!
