Hello folks,
I love jam-packed weeks when you’ve done a lot, time has moved really fast, and yet you don’t feel exhausted by the pace of it all. Here are the finds that kept me curious through all of it:
- FAKE MEMORIES A fascinating experiment to help early-stage dementia patients uses AI image generators to visualize old memories.
- PRAY & BUILD Architectural drawing speaks of mathematical precision, but its roots lie in religion.
- RIP PITCHFORK Critics were once our best guides to new music. Then came streaming and AI.
- FUTURE GROWTH Fresh off the Davos oven, the report characterizes nations’ economic growth across four dimensions: Innovativeness; Inclusiveness; Sustainability; and Resilience.
- BATTLE BOTS Rather than limit who can put in orders for limited-edition sneakers, watches and collectibles, retailers are throwing open their drops — and then using data analytics to quietly kick bad actors to the back of the line.
This week was spent plotting flight paths and itineraries. More on that in a future post.
