Someone Behind the Software, DeepMind's Genie 4 & Apple Music's New Look
10 links · 2 min. read
10 Things is a rare blend of the ten best things online that inspired us, caught our attention or made us smile. Over a decade of human curation, 367 issues in, zero filler.
We're trying something new. As our own work gets more AI-ified, we want to celebrate human creativity, so we'll start featuring real people doing creative craftsmanship on the cover. This week's is a photograph by Holly McCandless-Desmond.
Know someone who deserves a cover? Hit reply with a link to their work, and we might feature them in an upcoming issue.
This edition is about the people behind things: a designer on keeping a human behind the software, a podcast with great hosts and questionable taste in design, and a few things made with real care, from Apple Music's new look to Mariko Mori to a coral reef film. Stratechery and DeepMind's Genie 4 cover where the AI side is heading.
Enjoy, 🛡️ Your Majesty
