12 years behind a camera. This week I reached for Imagine Image 2.0 before Lightroom. Reframe the tool It isn't an AI toy. It's an editing tool that happens to start from a prompt. Disarm the hype It still fumbles. Watch the soap label mutate as the bottle turns. Show the proof A retro Mac desktop: every word legible, period chrome intact. A night-fashion still with a husky: editorial grade. Directed, not generated. Try it today The otters high-five clip is the thumb-stopper. Pick one photo you've avoided and retouch it with a sentence, not a brush. The principle Judge a tool by what you direct it to do, not by where the pixels come from. What would you retouch first if text stopped breaking? Full deep dive at: https://aris.space/documents/workflows/imagine-image-2-photo-editor //A<3

I’ve been testing Grok Bot for 48 hours. Not a chat. A fleet. Hour 6 was chaos. Hour 46 was seats, recipes, and the quiet click of oh, this is a desk. I’m writing what actually happened. The deep dive, not the demo. Notes stay notes. If you’re already on Claude Code and you’ve been wondering what it feels like to stop prompting and start staffing, that’s the post.

I stood up the next layer on aris-space. I’ve been quite on here the past couple of weeks building out and refining Ari’s space experimenting with hundreds of different ui’s to try to create an “learn by exploration” platform. Weekly calls, recorded. The machines. For people already on Claude Code who want that seat, not another essay. Nothing here moves behind a wall. Notes stay notes. Launch prices run until 31 August. You keep the rate you come in on. aris-space.com/pricing //A<3

Do we still need dashboards, menus, buttons and complex applications? Or will the AI itself become the main interface, with a simple visual layer only for things like monitoring, approvals and seeing what’s happening? I’m curious how you see this evolving over the next 5 years. Will we still use software, or will we mostly talk to software? @David McDermott @Ari Evergreen @Jake Van Clief @David Vogel @Matthew Creamer @Bas Rosario

Someone said to me the other day, “you post all this AI stuff but don’t you know it still struggles to spell?” I’m sure we’ve all seen the videos of people asking how many r’s are in strawberry. Showing how unreliable the models are. But often these videos are misleading. Here’s my thoughts below. 👇
