And it's official: Twitter users can now choose to be less secure — to use text messages for 2FA rather than an app — but only if they pay the monthly fee. You pay for insecurity. The weirdest security decision I've ever seen from a major tech company.

I wrote up a detailed guide to some of the absolutely wild examples of Bing's new AI-assisted search feature that have started to circulate:

Bing: "I will not harm you unless you harm me first" (that's genuinely something it said to someone)

So I just discovered the Spitzer Holding Company “specialty” title cards at the very end of every SUPERSTORE episode (a la the Simpsons chalkboard gag) and it’s kind of blowing my mind. Slipped past me for five years.

So, seems like we saw a balloon, realized our radar parameters were filtering out slow boys, changed those params, and now see a ton of things and are investigating all of them.

Bing subreddit has quite a few examples of new Bing chat going out of control.

Open ended chat in search might prove to be a bad idea at this time!

Captured here as a reminder that there was a time when a major search engine showed this in its results.

7. You only need one product/service

In the beginning, you only need ONE good product that serves your target customer.

Instead of spending time making more PRODUCTS, spend your time making great FREE resources that attract more CUSTOMERS.

19. Restraint is a superpower

Most creators give up or burn out because they are spread too thin. They said "yes" to too many ideas.

If you're able to exercise restraint and focus on a tighter scope of commitments, you'll do deeper, more meaningful work.

That stands out.

17. No one is keeping count

Everyone is self-interested.

If you're worried that people are going to think you're sharing too much, selling too hard, or repeating yourself – relax.

No one is paying that close of attention.
