🤖 New Meta Ray Bans Just Dropped
PLUS: AI fares better than doctors at predicting deadly complications after surgery

Happy Monday!
What a thrilling week in the world of AI! Meta has just unveiled the newest version of their Ray-Ban AI Glasses, and they are truly a game-changer. This version includes a wristband that lets you control the glasses, aiming to eventually replace cell phones with these high-tech specs. Mark your calendars for September 30th when they hit the shelves. The future is now! So, if you catch me chatting away to myself on the street, no need to worry—I'm just having a conversation with my glasses. Plus, I've got a brand-new prompt for you to explore this week!
PROMPT: I’m going to paste in a raw braindump of my thoughts. These will be messy, fragmented, half-formed ideas, sometimes repetitive. Your job is to: 1. Organize everything into a clear structure or outline. 2. Preserve my original voice — don’t rewrite, polish, or rephrase into something more formal. 3. Group related ideas together under logical headings or categories. 4. Sequence them so they flow in a sensible order (e.g., from big picture → details, or problem → solution). 5. If something doesn’t fit anywhere, place it in a “Misc / Unsorted” section at the end. Important: Do not delete or change my words. Don’t inject new ideas. Don’t improve the writing. Just structure it. When you’re ready, say: “Paste your braindump now.”
Enjoy!

I noticed nano banana has changed PowerPoint. People who are good at using it (& have good imaginations) can come up with genuinely funny or interesting images that make presentations more compelling and coherent - no more pasted-in cartoons
