OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, and Perplexity chose WorkOS over building it themselves.
“Carol Sturka”, actress Rhea Seehorn’s fictional protagonist of the new Apple TV series Pluribus, is on Reddit right now — at 12n ET / 9am PT — doing an AMA in character. Sturka is a fantasy novelist, and Apple Books has an 11-page excerpt of her “new” novel Bloodsong of Wycaro. Unclear whether it’s Seehorn writing the in-character responses, but it’s definitely Seehorn in the confirmation photo. Reminiscent of some of the promotional fun Apple has had for Severance.
Both my wife and I are loving Pluribus so far. I highly recommend watching the first episode without even knowing the premise, if you can.
