🪟 Windows 98 AI mode

Hey folks,

Ever feel nostalgic for those blocky windows and chunky buttons from the Windows 98 days? 98.css is basically a CSS library that dresses up your modern website in old-school UI, down to the pixelated icons and retro scrollbars. If you’re tired of minimalistic design trends and want a blast from the past—complete with a digital Start button—Claude can help you whip up your retro site even faster. Just feed Claude your design ideas and your 98.css vision, and it’ll crank out the HTML and CSS to bring those vintage vibes straight to your browser—no dial-up required.

Check out this fully working demo of BigDeskEnergy.com Let’s dive in..

🛡️ Google's Sec Gemini Aims to Help Cybersecurity Pros

🐝 The Buzz: Google just launched Sec Gemini V1, an experimental AI assistant built to help cybersecurity pros deal with the messy, time-consuming parts of threat detection.

• Security-First Design: This isn’t a general-purpose model doing its best. Sec Gemini is trained specifically for cybersecurity workflows like vulnerability triage and threat intel analysis.

• Fueled by Google’s Deep Bench: It pulls from trusted sources like Mandiant’s threat intelligence and Google’s own vulnerability databases.

• Beats the Competition (on Paper): Google says it’s outperforming big-name models like GPT-4, Claude, and DeepSeek on key cybersecurity benchmarks.

💡 Takeaway: Cybersecurity teams are drowning in alerts and data—Sec Gemini might actually help them breathe. If it delivers on its early promise, this could be a solid move toward AI that doesn’t just talk security but actually helps with it.

Together with Writer

You’ve heard the hype. It’s time for results.

After two years of siloed experiments, proofs of concept that fail to scale, and disappointing ROI, most enterprises are stuck. AI isn't transforming their organizations — it’s adding complexity, friction, and frustration.

But Writer customers are seeing positive impact across their companies. Our end-to-end approach is delivering adoption and ROI at scale. Now, we’re applying that same platform and technology to build agentic AI that actually works for every enterprise.

This isn’t just another hype train that overpromises and underdelivers.
It’s the AI you’ve been waiting for — and it’s going to change the way enterprises operate. Be among the first to see end-to-end agentic AI in action. Join us for a live product release on April 10 at 2pm ET (11am PT).

❓️ Meta’s Llama 4 Benchmarks Are Raising Eyebrows

🐝 The Buzz: So, Meta launched its shiny new Llama 4 models—and while they look impressive on paper, some folks in the AI space are raising eyebrows. Turns out, those benchmark charts they’re flexing might not be telling the whole story.

• Cherry-Picked Comparisons: Meta’s benchmarks pit Llama 4 against older or slightly different models (like GPT-4-turbo instead of GPT-4), which… feels a little convenient.

• Missing Context (Literally): The tests ignore long-context performance—despite Llama 4 touting a whopping 10M token context window. Kind of an important omission if that's your bragging point.

• No Vision Benchmarks: While Meta says Llama 4 is multimodal, there’s zero vision or audio testing in the benchmark report. That’s like entering a triathlon and only showing your running time.

• Selective Transparency: Meta didn’t release full evaluation setups or weights for Behemoth (the massive 2T parameter model), which makes it tough to independently verify any of their claims.

💡 Takeaway: Llama 4 might still be solid—but Meta’s marketing spin is giving “trust me, bro” energy. If you’re serious about using these models, wait for third-party tests before you fall for the leaderboard drama. Benchmarks are nice… until they start looking like a PR stunt.

🖼️ Generative Art

A classic arcade machine stands perfectly centered, facing forward, its dark, turned-off screen dominating the scene. Neon lights in pink, blue, and yellow cast a soft glow on its edges, reflecting off the smooth, worn buttons and joystick. The walls behind it are filled with 80s nostalgia--retro game posters, high-score rankings scribbled in marker, old stickers peeling at the corners. A cassette player, VHS tapes, and a wall-mounted payphone add to the vintage feel. The checkered floor gleams under the neon lights, while distant arcade jingles create a warm, nostalgic atmosphere. The machine stands still, as if waiting for the next game to begin
