#3,278 – AI Week: Copilot Vision | Greatest. Idea. Ever.
I previously wrote about Microsoft's AI companion Copilot, but now it's getting a new feature called Vision that will allow the AI to see what you're viewing in your browser and talk to you about it. Making the AI even more useful for both work and personal matters. The Verge explains: "Originally unveiled in October,…
#3,279 – AI Week: Digits | Greatest. Idea. Ever.

The chipmaker announced at CES that it’s launching…
#3,277 – AI Week: Don’t Die | Greatest. Idea. Ever.
The other day I watched the Netflix documentary about longevity pioneer Bryan Johnson called, The Man Who Wants to Live Forever. Johnson, a successful tech entrepreneur, is a polarizing figure. Some people respect what he is doing and admire the lengths with which he's willing to go to achieve his goal. Others think he's crazy…
#3,276 – AI Week: The Stargate Project | Greatest. Idea. Ever.
The amount of money that Nvidia has lost in the stock market today is equivalent to the amount of money that they had earmarked for their investment in the Stargate Project, a joint venture from OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle, Nvidia and the U.S. government to pour $500 billion into building out AI infrastructure by 2029. The…
#3,275 – AI Week: DeepSeek | Greatest. Idea. Ever.
I had been kicking myself for not investing in Nvidia but one of the reasons why I didn't is because investing in general is so risky. At any time, a competitor or new startup could upend a company's entire business model. Google dominated search for years until AI came along. And because they were so…
#3,274 – Meme Coins | Greatest. Idea. Ever.
Pump and dump no longer just refers to Hawk Tuah's personal life. Now it refers to what she did with her meme coin as well before going into hiding. That didn't deter notorious grifter Donald Trump from getting in on the action as well with a meme coin of his own just days before his…
#3,273 – The Future of TikTok | Greatest. Idea. Ever.
Well, it actually happened. TikTok was actually banned. At least for now. An entire generation waking up to find out that their favorite dancing videos are no longer available. What will they do now? Read a book? Where will they go? On a hike?! For now, the answer is to head straight to RedNote, another…
#3,272 – 2025 Week One | Greatest. Idea. Ever.
I recently heard someone say that 2025 is a sci-fi sounding year. Like it sounds like the kind of year that someone making a movie in the past would have chosen as the year their movie took place in if it was set in the future. As was the case with the movie Her, whose…
#3,271 – X Algo Changes | Greatest. Idea. Ever.

#3,270 – Click To Cancel | Greatest. Idea. Ever.
It's become the bane of modern existence. Wanting to cancel a subscription or service but not being able to as most companies either bury this option or don't even have one, instead insisting that you call them to cancel so that their sales reps can talk you out of leaving. Whether we're talking about gym…

#3,265 – 2025 Breakthrough Nominee: Humanoid Robotics | Greatest. Idea. Ever.
If 2023 and 2024 were the year of AI, then 2025 could be the year of robotics. As Jim Fan puts in on X: There's plenty of evidence that supports this hypothesis. Elon Musk says that the Optimus Bot could be the biggest product ever as everyone will want one. Clone Alpha is coming while…
#3,266 – 2025 Breakthrough Nominee: AI-Generated Accounts | Greatest. Idea. Ever.
AI became a big part of our lives in 2024 and 2025 will be no different. We'll continue to see new image generators and chat bots as AI takes over search and countless apps, weaving its way throughout modern society. Agentic AI is likely to be one of the biggest trends of the year as…
#3,264 – 2025 Breakthrough Nominee: X Marks The Spot | Greatest. Idea. Ever.
Linda Yaccarino, CEO of X, decided to kick off the new year with a bombshell post: https://twitter.com/lindayaX/status/1874190054660473035 As much as it pains me to admit this right now (since I hate Elon Musk) Twitter, I mean X, (despite hemorrhaging users and advertisers) could be in store for a big year in 2025 as they unveil…

#3,253 – Mozi | Greatest. Idea. Ever.
I previously wrote about my idea for an anti-social media platform that I called Silo. Instead of broadcasting your life outwards Silo would be your place to reflect internally.

#3,251 – The Mysterious Drones | Greatest. Idea. Ever.
Drones are incredibly useful and increasingly becoming a part of modern society.

In…

#3,246 – The Decline of Western Civilization | Greatest. Idea. Ever.
Brain rot was just selected as the 2024 word of the year and rightfully so. Thanks to TikTok, social media, and how easily misinformation spreads online, our brains are literally rotting, turning to mush. Our minds evolved to look out for predators on a Savanna. Not process the deluge of data we encounter on a…
#3,245 – The Golden At-Bat Rule | Greatest. Idea. Ever.
Baseball Twitter is aghast at the suggestion of the Golden At-Bat Rule that Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says is generating buzz at the annual Owners Meetings.

#3,242 – Mosquito Bite Vaccine | Greatest. Idea. Ever.

#3,241 – Alzheimer’s Surgery | Greatest. Idea. Ever.
