Happy Hollandaise

most of my social media was nuked from orbit but I'll see if I can find the backups... but based on just my blog and newsletter output...

Prompt: Create a dual-axis chart comparing Google+ (red) and Google Gemini (blue) across three phases: Launch Phase, Active/Standalone Peak, and Total Ecosystem Reach. Use a grouped bar chart for Monthly Active Users (Millions) on the primary Y-axis with data points for G+ [25, 300, 540] and Gemini [90, 650, 2000]. Overlay trend lines for Average Session Duration (Minutes) on the secondary Y-axis with data points for G+ [0.5, 0.1, 0.05] and Gemini [3.0, 11.0, 1.5]. Annotate all bars and line points with their respective values and include a clear legend.

Late day coffee was a bad choice

That thing where you haven't read anything on social media all day and then all of a sudden you inadvertently become slightly more informed about something that happened earlier that day which only serves to reinforce a bias about what you believe to be true but you second guess yourself because of the fast approaching collapse of implicit trust in an ever widening distance between reality, authenticity, origination, attribution, non-repudiation, and the marvel that is a frothy melange of generative AI plausible deniability.

Or, what I like to call a Modern Monday.

M&A news has been on a tear lately.

I interpret this as succession planning in the open or the intentional telegraphing of active succession planning in the open.

Interesting links I'm reading

• AI can interview you about your use of AI: Anthropic did a thing y'all
• Microsoft VibeVoice: Microsoft's open-source text-to-speech (TTS) of multi-speaker audio and that makes me wonder what the new generation of remix punk community will do with this
• Agentic AI categories for AWS AI Competency: Expecting to see some stratification among AWS Partners (currently dozens)

I'm going to attempt using GoToSocial's RSS for driving my workflow over the next few weeks to see if it sticks.

Right now, I'm proficient with VS Code, python, and the prior workflow I optimized for Hot Fudge Daily. Ideally, I'd like to

• Get everything driven from CLI or cron (why not both?)
• Use Markdown that is simple and portable (image processing?)
• Leverage prior python scripts (because refactoring is needed)
• Break up the daily topical (to be more more thinkish)
• Drop the pretense of title's with dates that lack context (because 🌶️ Hot Fudge Sunday for 2025-12-07 doesn't quite sell it, ya know?)
• Unbury the lede (Descriptions become telling titles)

My first thought was a possible IASIP / Kidde commercial crossover where Frank dons a nanofibril ghillie suit and plays the flute.
