Liquid What Now?

Chris Boyer and Ed Bennett dive nose-first into Apple’s latest design offense: Liquid Glass. Or as users have dubbed it, Liquid Ass. A sleek new look, sure — if you enjoy smudges, glare, and interfaces that feel like a fever dream. They unpack the aesthetic outrage and wonder aloud: has Apple finally jumped the shark into a puddle of its own reflection? The tech rec this week comes from Ed’s deep research into external mass storage, sharing how using GenAI can demystify convoluted tech manuals, translate specs into human speak, and even help pick the right solution based on your actual needs. Then, in the Stump GenAI segment, they test a clever “blank line” prompt technique to coax GenAI into completing classic sci-fi and fantasy narratives. It’s a full episode of digital frustration, delightful hacks, and speculative fiction done the AI way.
