@clive I enjoyed this story and I also appreciated “bullshit with ChatGPT confidence” as a turn of phrase.

@clive Do you know anyone who's tried JackTrip? Sounds intriguing but I have a hard time believing it really works unless you're spitting distance from the servers + have insane upload speeds.

I think maybe I'm a little uncomfortable with the implication that most of the content humans produce is just filler for an AI to break down into small, digestible chunks.

@killyourfm Never too late to learn a new instrument! And electronic drum kits rule.

It is genuinely baffling how much discussion of passkeys omits the extremely basic question of WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU LOSE YOUR PHONE https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/3/23709318/google-accounts-passkey-support-password-2fa-fido-security-phishing

Even Google's own documentation just completely punts on the question."I lost my device.""No problem! Just sign into your device."

Like, I'm a nerd, I get it, the idea is you use your computer or whatever to deauthorize the lost phone and set up a new one.But, A) Some people's only device is a phone B) It's not impossible for all your devices to get lost/stolen at once C) The whole concept is strange and new and needs to be explained in the clearest possible terms and not just, like, "You hate passwords so get rid of them! It'll be great!"

Here's Google's big passkey announcement post, where they also completely fail to explain what happens if you lose your phone - https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/the-beginning-of-the-end-of-the-password/

I'm almost certainly writing about this in next week's newsletter btw. If I do it won't be paywalled. Free sign-up form's at the bottom! https://advisorator.com/members/2023/05/02/5-2-2023-try-these-email-apps-2/

@cwebber Oh, don't even get me started on how passkeys are a mechanism for platform lock-in. Ask the big passwordless backers how to switch ecosystems and they're all like "Uh ... we'll figure it out later, maybe?"

@adam How can non-technical people find out what a Fido 2 device is (besides hardware security keys, which they will not use)? What happens when passwords are eventually removed from the system? Where is this being documented by major tech firms like Google?

My father-in-law had a never-opened, 48-year-old GE radio in his garage. No pairing, no logins, no setup. It just works.

I was having trouble keeping track of everything that's been delayed, discontinued, or made more expensive because AI data centers are hogging all the RAM. So I made a running list: https://www.fastcompany.com/91495430/heres-every-cool-tech-thing-the-ai-ram-crunch-is-ruining
