USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving. Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free. I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these." "They just come with the table, man." They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner. This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat. I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared. "Did we…?" "Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless." Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined. My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude." Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man. I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy. Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived. I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most. Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

@Stammy @sesame I’ve been using Sesame since March of last year and you all continue to blow me away. The one feedback I have is I often use your voice model and have to use Granola to get the transcripts of the call. Do you reckon you’ll even provide the transcripts in app with one click copy?

@BenjaminBadejo What about a VPS? I feel like so many people are pushing the idea of buying a Mac mini without being honest with the fact that you can actually rent computers in other places, and have them have their own terminal on everything that you need that a Mac mini does.

If you’ve seen the OpenAI merch site, you’ve already seen our work… In early 2024, we designed the initial grid + interaction system for the Yeezy website, Ye was inspired by the iOS Photos app. Cool to see the system used as a reference How it worked👇
