The AI image generation market has had an uncontested leader for months. Google's Nano Banana family of models has set the standard for quality, speed, and commercial adoption, while competitors from OpenAI to Midjourney have jockeyed for second place. That hierarchy shifted on Sunday when Luma AI, a startup better known for its Dream Machine video generation tool, publicly released Uni-1 — a model that doesn't just compete with Google on image quality but fundamentally rethinks how AI should create images.

After a decade of defaulting to the word 'tired,' I realised it was never the truth — just the version of the truth nobody would follow up on. On emotional labour, the cost of vague vocabulary, and the word I was actually looking for. Read more

Трекеры и чиптюн на AdLib

Обычно, когда говорят про чиптюн, вспоминают звуковой чип SID на Commodore 64, или же Амигу и её MOD-файлы. Если речь про ПК, это будет тот же MOD и его наследники в лице форматов XM и IT. Но в истории программ для MS-DOS был один краткий музыкальный период совершенно другого рода. Он одновременно родственен и самому ПК, и чиптюну на 8-битках, и компьютерам практически с другой планеты, многочисленным японским ПК —... Read more

These reusable digital Polaroids are a clever way to cover a fridge in memories

But I don’t love the idea of schlepping around a clunky instant camera or paying a premium for instant film with hit-or-miss […] Read more

Экономика воли, или почему комфортный мир может атрофировать вашу способность выбирать?

Любому маркетологу знакомо понятие экономики внимания — на ней, собственно, строится весь текущий рынок в большинстве сфер товаров и услуг. Но борьба за внимание уже подходит к концу, и на её место приходит кое-что поинтереснее.Энтерпрайз, гиганты рынка, платформы, медиа и влиятельные системы постепенно переходят от борьбы за внимание к борьбе за намерение, а затем — за саму волю человека.
