People are in awe of the Photoshop on the web demo.
I’m hearing a lot of “oohs” and “ahhs” from the crowd. A photographer in the front row is shaking his head in disbelief.
Now, he’s adding a cat. (Sorry dog.)

We’re getting a live demo of Photoshop on the web.
In the first demo, the presenter is removing the out of focus dog at the front of this frame. He’s using Adobe’s generative fill to fill in the space where the dog left.

“I’m rooting for you and I’m rooting for Twitter.”
Yoel Roth said he said that to Elon Musk when he left the company. He’s rooting for CEO Linda Yaccarino, the current CEO of X — who will be speaking at Code in just a bit.

Yoel Roth thinks that something like Twitter needs to exist in the world.
I asked him if there would ever be a platform that’s as culturally relevant as Twitter, now X. “I do hope somebody can capture that,” he said. “I hope they can do it better than Twitter.”

Yoel Roth thinks that TikTok is doing the best at trust and safety right now.
At Code 2023, he noted that of all the VLOPs, TikTok hasn’t laid off members of its trust and safety team and that it continues to invest heavily in identifying inauthentic behavior. Not the answer I was expecting!

“That was a warning sign.”
That’s how Yoel Roth, Twitter’s former head of trust and safety, characterized the decision immediately after Elon Musk took over the company to change the logged out experience to the explore page.

The CEO of Bumble says that the metaverse is “kind of contrary to everything I believe in in terms of getting humans to look each other in the eye.”
Roblox CEO David Baszucki thinks people will be dating in Roblox, but at Code 2023, Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd doesn’t sound like a fan of that idea. “Maybe that is how people will originally connect,” she said, but noted that “I will be much more sad for humanity than myself if people just stop really meeting in real life.”

Bumble is exploring more expensive subscription tiers.
Whitney Wolfe Herd, founder and CEO of Bumble, talked at Code 2023 about how the company is thinking about more pricey subscription tiers that would come with more features.
She declined to give an estimate on price — hopefully it’s not as high as Tinder’s $499 per month plan! — but she said how it could offer things like AI-powered features to help you find better matches.
