Moonlights #111
The head of Instagram spills the tea, Caitlin Clark is unreal, text-to-video leveled up, Drive to Survive is back, and it's my birthday!
Listen 🎧
Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, is the latest guest on Rick Rubin’s podcast, Tetragrammaton. Beyond overseeing Instagram's operations, Adam's conversation with Rick provides a rare glimpse into his thoughts on the evolving social media landscape. It’s nice to see beyond the apps and the strategy, into the heart of someone navigating through the infant stages of online connection. I really appreciate Adam's approach to product thinking. They don't have all the answers, but there's a clear reason he's at the helm of one of the most used apps in the world.

I shared a video of Caitlin Clark back in Moonlights #6, and I’m back again with another one. Check out the highlight reel below to see her latest htf did she do that video. A few minutes into the game, she hit a logo-range three-pointer to break the all-time NCAA women's scoring record and also set an Iowa single-game scoring record.

OpenAI is back with another massive update. Sora, not the first of its kind, has pushed the boundaries of what's possible with text-to-video tech. Just last year, demos of this tech weren’t great, but it was ‘cool’. Some of the Sora examples are so realistic that it's difficult to distinguish between what's real and what's not 🤯
The prompt for the video below is: The camera directly faces colorful buildings in burano italy. An adorable dalmation looks through a window on a building on the ground floor. Many people are walking and cycling along the canal streets in front of the buildings.
