Ten Blue Links, “this one’s for you, Ian” edition

from Ian Betteridge [alt+shift+b] in creative

11th Jul 2026
One of my favourite people on social media is Darth. Darth takes an annual hibernation, in which time they do not post or, presumably, read. I’d love to say that I have not posted anything for months with the same level of intention, but alas not. It just&

Self-driving, Tesla and the influence of brand

from Ian Betteridge [alt+shift+b] in creative

27th May 2026
I've been a Stratechery subscriber since it started and one thing I have noticed about Ben is that he occasionally gets a little overexcited about stuff that is probably not totally close to his wheelhouse. This is one of those times. In his opening about Tesla's

The worst of us

from Ian Betteridge [alt+shift+b] in creative

7th Apr 2026
Credit where it's due. Anthropic's system card for Claude Mythos Preview is a genuinely interesting and thoughtful document. Most AI companies publish safety evaluations the way governments publish freedom of information responses. They're technically compliant but strategically...

The fundamental error that doesn't exist

from Ian Betteridge [alt+shift+b] in creative

1st Mar 2026
Ben Thompson, Another Viral AI Doomer Article, The Fundamental Error, DoorDash’s AI Advantages: What is notable about this assertion is the total denial of any positive reason for DoorDash to exist and to be so successful. There is no awareness that DoorDash provided a massive...

Ten Blue Links, "Cometh the hour, cometh the man-baby" edition

from Ian Betteridge [alt+shift+b] in creative

28th Feb 2026
Hi all. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? It has been a week dominated by AI. Which is fitting because AI dominated the weeks before it and will dominate the weeks ahead. That’s part of the reason I haven’t written for a

Ten Blue Links – "Platforms, promises and bad habits" edition

from Ian Betteridge [alt+shift+b] in creative

10th Jan 2026
Hello! And welcome back. I have had an extended break over Christmas and the New Year. The one benefit of being useless at taking my holiday allowance is that I usually end up taking December off, and so it proved again this year. This one is a bit of an

Ten Blue Links "Toxic optimisation" edition

from Ian Betteridge [alt+shift+b] in creative

3rd Nov 2025
1. Your job is making you anxious. ChatGPT isn't helping If 21st-century capitalism has one central tenet, it's that innovation rules and disruption drives progress. And generative AI is one of the most disruptive innovations of our lifetime. Which is why, as Morra Aarons-Mele...

Well yes, I am indeed off – but not for long. I'm going on a trip to China for a week, so won't be around next weekend to do any writing. In the meantime, here's some good stuff. Two thousand, three hundred words of

Ten Blue Links, “Peter and the whales” edition

from Ian Betteridge [alt+shift+b] in creative

3rd Aug 2025
1. Required reading of the week Let’s start with something a little doom-laden: how societies collapse. How “civilisations” meet their ultimate end isn’t just an academic exercise, for two reasons. First, with climate change starting to bite, it’s easy to see how

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
