ers. Is this what is happening? <a href="/links/2024/04/03/133400-gizmodo.com">#</a> <a href="https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/04/redis-license-change-and-forking-are-a-mess-that-everybody-can-feel-bad-about">arstechnica.com</a>

ontinuation of the exploration of Read Later apps that I did earlier in the week. This time I decided to try Instapaper again. The aim here is to have a way to read web development content offline. So far the resul
ts from using Safari Reading Lists and Pocket have been very variable. How about Instapaper, is it as bad as I remember? <a href="/links/2023/06/29/071200-markjgsmith.com">#</a> <a href="https://markjgsmith.com/blog/2023/06/29/revisiting-instapaper-for-offline-reading">markjgsmith.com</a>

21 Labs, BAAI - The magic film visual effects tools company sounds very cool, uses generative AI to add all sorts of effects from text prompts. There also appears to be a trend in training models in non-english lan
guages, which of course makes sense. I'd also like to try out the AI gramerly tool. Which one of these companies is going to be the next google, microsoft, apple or meta? <a href="/links/2023/06/29/060100-aisupremacy.substack.com">#</a> <a href="https://aisupremacy.substack.com/p/six-more-companies-competing-with">aisupremacy.substack.com</a>

with the rise of AI, it might get more difficult to detect. It's an area in which we probably want to avoid an arms race, that would likely be very bad for everyone. <a href="/links/2023/06/28/060100-www.cnbc.com">#</a> <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/21/ftc-sues-amazon-over-deceptive-prime-sign-up-and-cancellation-process.html">www.cnbc.com</a>
