This week I talk about whether I'm wrong about AI-generated YouTube thumbnails — I've told my designer to never use AI on them, but if a thumbnail's only job is to get the click, does it matter? Then Casey Newton on Mark Zuckerberg's AI manifesto and why "superintelligence is a dragon" is the analogy that actually fits, and a recommendation for Schmigadoon! on Apple TV. Plus this week's automation: a Daily Call Debrief skill that gathers my recorded calls, summarizes them into Obsidian, routes action items to Todoist, and files client transcripts for voice-of-customer research.
