if anthropic did the "i am become death destroyer of worlds" schtick with opus 5.5 instead of the original fable 5 launch I feel like it would have had 50x the impact this thing is unreal

I drive an old car with a head unit from another era. I also had an iPad lying around. So I built my own Tesla-style screen for it. Maps, a live 3D model of the car, speed, music, engine data. Just an iPad on the dash.

Josh Brolin says he made more money trading stocks in 4 years than in 20 years as an actor “I was day trading. I was swing trading and day trading. I made more money in those four years, really it was five years, but within four years, than I had made in 20 years acting” “But I didn't really make hardly anything acting. I wasn't really working. I mean, think about it, dude. No Country, how much do you think I made from No Country? I had been doing it already for 22 years” “That's pretty good. That was a good guess. One hundred. One hundred. So I cleared what, thirty? That's not considered a great year”

whole team feels dumb now, but it's true, we did not explicitly train our model on 3d demo games obviously in retrospect we probably should've done a bit of that... but no regrets, please try muse wonder on your actual coding work!

Imo normies are not going to adopt AI at this agentic scale until you have a product thats free and fun or paid and fun. There is a reason meta is king. They don't want to be productive. Preaching productivity is not a good sell.

After six years in stealth, Atomic Machines is out. Our mission: on-demand, universal command of matter. First beachhead: the Matter Compiler, an AI-native manufacturing system that builds working micro-machines from code alone. No per-product tooling. No process development. Different code, different machine.

We'll be spending a lot more time trying to understand the outputs of language models. A few thoughts, tips & tricks: Writing. Something I've had success with: Ask your LLM to explain something in ASD-STE100, it's a controlled language specification originally developed for aerospace maintenance documentation. LLMs well-versed in this language and it comes with heavy constraints on clean writing style that I often find a lot more readable. Sometimes I've tried to soften it a bit e.g. ask for "80% of the way to ASD-STE100" because the spec is quite stringent. But even better: Diagrams / images. Instead of writing, ask your LLM to create a diagram. These can be a lot easier to process, parse, and understand. But even better: Web pages. Ask for output "in HTML" to get a beautiful, interactive webpage. LLMs are getting really good at frontend and can create beautiful experiences, animations, etc. But even better: Explainer videos. The output format I am most bullish on is fully custom / bespoke explainer videos generated on any arbitrary topic. Experiment with things like "Create a 3b1b style video explainer on X. Use my ElevenLabs API key for audio narration". (you'd need an API key for the latter or you can ask your LLM to find you decent free alternatives that use your local compute). This is actually starting to work! In summary: - As LLMs get better, they will do more and more of the legwork autonomously, and a lot more of our work will rise up the abstractions into oversight and understanding. - Luckily, LLMs can help here too because as intelligence and code are increasingly abundant, you can ask for large, custom, discardable software artifacts (e.g. web apps, video explainers) that would have never made sense to create before. Push the boundaries here and you'll be surprised.
