Greetings from Read Max HQ! In today’s experimental audio product:

* The Google “AI Overview” fiasco, why it was so funny/depressing, and what it tells us about Google

* A theory about the “All Eyes on Rafah” A.I.-generated Instagram image and why it (and not others) went viral

* My pick for “most dangerous app”

A reminder! We are still in the midst of a WEEK-LONG SALES EVENT, THE READ MAX PAY FOR MY SON’S SUMMER CAMP SPECIAL, during which Read Max subscriptions are a whopping 20 percent off. This event ends on SUNDAY, which leaves you only a precious few hours to simultaneously save money and also help me obtain childcare for my son for July so I can continue shitposting as a career.
