Good morning 🌥️ ‘Twas a big week for humanity’s slow death march toward the indistinguishability between AI-generated content and human-made content. Google launched arguably the biggest competitor to its main cash cow (Google search and ads) by announcing a browser-native AI search and released AI-generated videos that would fool even the trained eye (let alone your auntie). Meanwhile, OpenAI pulled the tech industry’s equivalent of signing prime Messi to Arsenal by using a 9-minute self-indulgent but well-edited video to announce the “acquihiring” of Apple’s former design darling, Jony Ive, whose team created this website 3 years ago before ostensibly following that bear into the deep dark tech forest.

And for us, the power went out, so this issue might arrive late.
