Juicy take . I write about cultural signals and I’m really intrigued about this spotlight you’ve cast on the insatiable appetite for stories and narratives. Makes me think of when Netflix first released whole seasons of content and how mind blowing it was that you didn’t have to wait a week for the next episode.

Yes I think we’re ripe for a change

Keen for AI facsimiles of Olivia Tied/Uncle Roger to teach cooking, David Ogilvy to teach copywriting, and Khan Academy in Richard Feynman's voice to teach learning.

Not keen to see people fall in love with an OnlyFans AI facsimile.

I hope there are "heroes" that bounce between AI native feeds who encourage people to "touch grass." It'd be great if it had Netflix's passive aggressiveness ('Are you still watching?') mixed with Duolingo's cute persistence.

💯 - that's a future I can get behind. it'll probably take some time (and trial / error before) we get there. but it's something I'm optimistic for
