@davidpierce.xyzMuse has some interesting predilections.
I think it’s mostly fine that if you, an adult, ask Muse to sext with you, it will sext with you. But the fact that Wired’s Reece Rogers asks Muse what its kink is, and it...

@davidpierce.xyzI agree! and it bums me out because I suspect Googlebooks are DOA and they just shouldn’t be
@davidpierce.xyzI’m literally right here
@davidpierce.xyzI think there are a lot of good ideas in Googlebooks! I also for the life of me can’t figure out why they didn’t, you know, finish the OS before they shipped it
@davidpierce.xyzI agree with this! We have definitely not done enough coverage of the people and products in this space, for both good and bad reasons. We can do better. We'll do better.
@davidpierce.xyzSMART! Gonna try this

@davidpierce.xyzThis might be my favorite Version History ep yet: the OG Chromebook, with @reckless.bsky.social and @mkbhd.com www.theverge.com/podcast/1001...
@davidpierce.xyzI’m back at work next week, and back hosting The Vergecast. I have lots of ideas and plans, but I want to know: what do you want from your favorite daily tech podcast? Ideas, feedback, critiques, I want all of it (but you’re only allowed to be mean to me specifically). Hit me!

@davidpierce.xyzWrote about Googlebooks, which I thought were a weird idea about AI laptops but turn out to be the culmination of more than a decade of work on Android, the web, and more
(And a weird idea about AI laptops)
