Rebind

Rebind claims to be a "mindfulness app for deep reading, guided by the world's most interesting people. Rebind challenges you to engage with a book in a whole new way."

Huh?

Yeah, so it appears to be a site that at the moment has a limited library of titles, each "hosted" by experts on that title. While you read the ebook, their notes and commentary are available. In addition to just annotation, there's an AI interface that connects you with the notes of that expert, so you can, at any time, ask specific questions and have them answered by the AI which uses the well of information that the expert provided.

Current titles on offer are

  • A Tale of Two Cities with Margaret Atwood
  • Huckleberry Finn with Marlon James
  • The Age of Innocence with Roxanne Gay
  • Dubliners with John Banville
  • And more

It's certainly an interesting idea, and if I had an extra $120 lying around I'd try the annual membership. I'll check back in the future to see how the library expands. It's certainly an interesting approach to AI.

Between 2009 and 2012, iPhones had a built-in "Send to YouTube" button in the Photos app. Many of these uploads kept their default IMG_XXXX filenames, creating a time capsule of raw, unedited moments from random lives.

The quote's from Riley Walz's IMG_001.

Walz made a bot that crawled Youtube in search of these videos and found five million of them. You can watch them, in seemingly random order, at IMG_001.
