This makes me curious on what type of data my bank (and others) share with companies involved in these ad/offer-type systems.
This announcement doesn't seem like it's anything new on the consumer side, instead it's a platform for brands to access the data from their ads/offers, create campaigns, etc.

I agree. I usually finish most books I start but Snow Crash was an exception. I can't quite articulate my distaste. Looking back, one of the small things that ticked me off was Hiro Protagonist – I couldn't take the book seriously at all. Felt almost overly cheesy and clichey.
I'd like to give him another shot with Cryptonomicon or The Diamond Age. I've appreciated him elsewhere, like as a podcast guest. He definitely has an interesting mind, just didn't enjoy Snow Crash.

How does the price of these compare to Uber/Lyft?

Arc is great but my favorite feature is the simplest. The shortcut 'shfit-ctrl-c' to copy your current page's link.

As a Hoosier I'm thankful that they used an example of our absurd pork tenderloins sandwiches.

Would try to target communities that align with your target audience - Twitter, Subreddits, Facebook groups, or Discord. Can also promote more generally on some of these platforms or ProductHunt
Another method, guerilla testing, worked well in grad school. Go to a public place - a library, coffee shop, etc. Politely ask random people to test your project. The obvious downside is they may not fit your target audience, but it's a cheap and scrappy way to get some feedback.

Their distinction:
>AI-generated: We define AI-generated content as text, images, or translations created by an AI-based tool. If you used an AI-based tool to create the actual content (whether text, images, or translations), it is considered "AI-generated," even if you applied substantial edits afterwards. AI-assisted: If you created the content yourself, and used AI-based tools to edit, refine, error-check, or otherwise improve that content (whether text or images), then it is considered "AI-assisted" and not “AI-generated.” Similarly, if you used an AI-based tool to brainstorm and generate ideas, but ultimately created the text or images yourself, this is also considered "AI-assisted" and not “AI-generated.” It is not necessary to inform us of the use of such tools or processes.

I wish we had more control over default apps in general. Similar to the settings for email, browser, calendar, etc.

Other Reddit enshittification is their pushiness to use the mobile app. Great UX case study here, this guy makes them very entertaining - https://builtformars.com/case-studies/reddit
Also related, Cory Doctorow's essay on this where he labeled it 'enshittification' - https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys

I find this type of image search incredibly useful – but mostly for when I take pictures of documents and it recognizes the text on them.

Unity and Epic seem like two glaringly omissions from this.
