Issue #002
Happy holidays and (almost) New Year! 🥂
This issue of Open Tabs comes to you with the backlog of all of our favorite and still open tabs from the week before Christmas.
Inside this issue you'll find…
An interview with the new CEO of Webflow on how brands should prepare for the inevitable decline of organic search traffic to their websites as AI models, apps, and tools become more mainstream and reliable.
The story of how Matt Damon and Ben Affleck took their destiny in their own hands after missing out on multiple career-defining roles as actors—their strategy, write the movie they wanted to star in which becameGood Will Hunting.
A video that I've mostly finished where a magician blows your mind as they demonstrate and explain the tricks behind sleight of hand techniques in various movies.Spoiler alert: it won't ruin the magic of the tricks—you'll just be even more impressed by how they pull them off and by the actor's who actually mastered them.
A plea from a reporter at The Verge, asking you to stop using generative AI as a search engine (no I actually didn't plan to have two somewhat conflicting articles about AI and the future of search).
And lastly, a report alleging that Spotify is exploiting musicians again—this time by filling its top performing playlists with royalty-free music by "ghost artists" in an effort to avoid paying more royalties to other musicians.
