Joyless and weird; more pigeons

I went on holiday, so not much thinking and writing has happened in the last 2 weeks. Unironically weird ideas are still popping up. There’s the ‘AI friend’, a creepy necklace that texts the user, straight out of Black Mirror (S2E1, ‘Be Right Back’). Or the use case absolutely nobody asked for: the joyless and weird Gemini ad about writing kid’s fan letters. They are distracting me from what we could make after the bubble.

This week, we have some pigeons facing their nestless reality.

Enjoy the summer and stay cool in heatwaves!

Until next time,
