In the "Notes" app on the iphone, there is a note which says "msg me on X". Back then, it was Twitter. Boy, I hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

Content marketing for a startup that does "Document infrastructure for agents". They want you to sign up for an event they're hosting in SF.

This is great, it reminds me of promotional websites from the Adobe Flash era. Ads were a lot more fun back then.

Why do I have Nathan Fielder's look in my face (same when he was staring at as EH on the pilot), as I'm going through all the features on this site?

Whoa. With a lidar scan of my house, a drone-captured point cloud of my neighborhood, and a backup of my icloud, I could create an immersive 3D snapshot of my life. And then what if other people did the same and we networked them together, so that we can actually interact in the snapshot. It'd be like second life except actually cloned from real lives. weird

Burying the api key in notes on the laptop is a nice touch.

All I feel is that UI of MacOS and iOS is so inferior now than it was then... :\

This is remarkably well-made, I love these little simulator dealies.
It's so strange to see this here. I remember when this site was nothing but foaming-at-the-mouth fawning adoration of Elizabeth Holmes long after her scams were exposed.

The reminders section is the second most entertaining bit after the messages. Look it up. It's hilarious!!!

It is a bit hilarious that most of the "apps" open faster in a fake desktop simulated inside the browser than it actually does natively on my Macbook Pro

*yes i know, not apples to apples.

I love how incredibly vapid the emails and text messages are.

And by love I of course mean: I love, LOVE, LOVE, [repeat ad nauseam]

Nails on a chalkboard.

You know, for a single pretty rare case of fraud in tech, as opposed to the industries where fraud is common, this gets brought up an excessive amount a decade later.

In my genearl observations of office desks/cubicles around me I have noticed that the only people with carefully stacked books, often more than one or two, were the ones who didn't really read.
Might be the most tasteful ad I've seen in a hot minute, not bad at all.
This is inspired by jmail.world, which may have been inspired itself.

It is obviously not as interesting as jmail.world, but, give her time

Ok I'm a pretty passionate anti-advertising advocate, but if advertising is gonna look like anything, it might as well be this!

I spent way to much time with that :-D
you can click on the drink to take a sip btw
There is no way to run for the door.
I took a photo on the iPhone of Elizabeth Holmes and myself hanging out smoking a joint together!

The share button let me download it.

As someone who only knows Theranos by the creepy lady and that they did some scam this is very interesting. Only critique is that it calls Twitter X, which isn't historically accurate.

EDIT: uhh I thought the movie signup thing was a gag, didn't know it was real. Sorry I guess.

Kinda cool, but also annoying that it's just backdoor marketing for a b2b SaaS company.
Why are people giving her anymore attention and time? Yawn. I don't get it. The story has been told, there is nothing new here besides some weird shots of her wide eyed like she always has been. Am I the only person who isn't impressed?
Now do Epstein's Laptop!
woah this is such a throwback, made me oddly nostalgic. great fucking work

Not that it matters or anyone cares, but it's so obvious Balwani was manipulating her emotionally. There are so many instances where he says "Love you", or "love" or "I am in love with your beauty", while she is more direct like "I love you", "I am in love with you" etc.
