#Perplexity, the AI startup that plagiarized, dodged paywalls, ignored robots.txt, and shattered the foundations of trust of the web, announced its own browser. Based on Perplexity's past and its CEO's behaviors, looking ahead I try to prepare myself for the worst.

From building and designing a non-functional AI wearable, that was overpriced, did not solve any of technology's problems, now produced a ton of waste, to helping inject artificial intelligence into... in-house printers.

Team messaging apps became bloated, complex, and overwhelming. Instead of supporting our work, they are disrupting it. Somehow, people are defaulting to instant messaging, and the team messaging apps are bombarding colleagues with constant notifications. Not everything needs to be instant. There are interesting and exciting apps following the goal to fix team messaging.

Are you on the hunt for a minimalist internet browser, designed for research and work, packed with intuitive features, and an overall cozy and quiet place for all your projects? #HorseBrowser might be what you are looking for.

In my deep dive into Horse Browser I explored why #browsers feel weird right now, what sets Horse Browser apart, how it can assist your workflows, and why it is worth $99.

It's devastating to see how much AI-powered writing apps are getting praised, endorsed, and supported.

If you have been writing in the past, publishing your writings, and you do exactly that still today, you do not need AI in your writing processes. Those processes are personal, and they are fine as they are. AI will not turn you into a better writer, it will not make you more creative, it will not help you overcoming writer's block.

Although the #internet gets flooded with new content every single day, with the rise of #AI, companies decided to build AI-powered writing apps, that give everyone the tools to create even more bland and generic content of top of that.

Writing is creative work, it is personal, and you do not need AI anywhere near that creative work.

So, what is the state and the current issues of AI-powered writing apps?

The fragmentation of social media, sparked by Musk’s disastrous Twitter takeover, has left many people juggling multiple platforms to stay connected with the dispersed communities they once followed in one place.

As a result, there's renewed interest in smaller, more private online spaces. Despite Mastodon’s growth in recent years, it still feels intimate and close-knit. But why do we generally thrive more in smaller community spaces?
