I remember how chuffed you were to go to a Paisley Park. Good pilgrimage ingredients

This year, I was asked to speak on a panel there - I finally got to be on Prince’s stage! Life goal unlocked for sure.

Hey all! How’s 2024 treating everyone so far?
So after some strategic changes at the company, I’m no longer working at WAG sadly. Thread title updated to suit. It’s a shame but it is what it is and life goes on.
Luckily things are going from strength to strength at Sutro, and we are achieving some pretty amazing things. We onboarded a significant amount of paying customers in the last few months, and are rocketing towards our next funding round.
I wrote a new blog post - a little more on some technical updates we made to improve the speed of AI generated web apps!
Wishing everyone a happy rest of January and onward

A product I just don’t understand. What can it do that my phone (which I already own) can’t?
Please help with their marketing too! I have seen adverts for it which don’t even explain what it is or why I need one.
That said though, congratulations on the gig!

Yep, I completely agree. And that’s a problem given the disparity between our backgrounds that we discovered with AI copy thing from the other company leaving us with vastly different impressions. If anyone should be understanding it, it should at the very least be someone like me.
I saw Microsoft’s CEO liken it to Steve Jobs and the iPhone launch. I can only assume he took LSD that day.

I haven’t seen that, but I’m intrigued by it. Sure, the iPhone was fairly revolutionary by the standards of the time. But I’m inclined to agree with you and call hyperbole on the comparison now.
It’s a “wearable smartphone” which I suspect might have a niche market in places where you can’t use hands. I’m thinking nuclear sites, food manufacturing etc.
I can’t see this taking off in a social setting but hey, who knows.
It’s a familiar colour 
although stated as ‘leuchtorange’
Very intrigued by this. The first ‘Her’ device that seems to work better than the Humane AI Pin. It’s £161 plus shipping with a lot of promise. Might. Just. Goforit.
Push-to-talk is great when on person - but it needs integration with hands-free (e.g. cars) somehow to work properly day-to-day. Lots of scope though. Need another Physical SIM/plan to use for full effect.

Now that’s an AI product I get. I understand what it does. I understand why they made and what they hope to achieve.
If I were in the market for AI hardware, that’s the one I’d be looking to spend my money on.
This one is a lot a cheaper but I don’t understand the what, let alone the why!

Congrats. Maybe I just need educating - but I really don’t get this product. Especially with Apple rumoured to be adding AI to Siri in their next update. The examples they’ve used in their marketing don’t make sense to me - calling an Uber for instance, there’s usually a reason why there are a few steps on the phone (is the next Uber close enough so you don’t have to wait ages, is it the card you want to use, precise current location (the gps isn’t always accurate) etc.
If this product exists in 5 years time, I’ll eat my hat.

I don’t get either product to be honest
Five years is a long time. Maybe set a reminder to buy a hat made from cake, just to be safe.

I don’t get it either. How would “move money to a Monzo pot” work for example if you didn’t have a smart phone and only used Rabbit. I’m a child, Rabbit Hole made me chuckle
