Loved this.

People talk about search in absolutes but the future is binary.

If I’m searching for an address or a menu, automate away. Make it as fast as possible. Give me an answer!

If I’m exploring an idea space to write about, think about, ponder (ie what is the meaning of life)… you don’t want an AI generating statistically commonplace text, you want human-curated exploration and discovery.

This is the journey we’re on with sublime.app

On the surface it’s a collaborative digital commonplace book. But the end game is to build a human-powered search engine for ideas and concepts. I think this vision becomes even more relevant with the AI garbage that’s about to flood the web.

This was an incredible and relatable read- have you read Filterworld by Kyle Chayka? Highly recommend!

your best work!! (okay i say this about everything you write!) you touched on this but i'm curious how you think this new era of the internet makes for the rise of personal websites or having personalized homepages outside of the traditional platforms (Twitter, IG, etc)
