It's crazy what you can do now with state of the art AI audio and video generation. If you combine the output with some clever editing it's hard to discern what's real anymore.

People shit on Spotify, but at least it works. I have no idea what the fuck they're doing over at Amazon. It's not hard to build a decent media player.

Instead of a bracket, the highest ranked schools should get to pick their opponent schoolyard style for the playoffs.

What is the biggest one-hit wonder of the 2010s? Stop saying Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj, it’s obviously not them

We essentially solved performance for websites before AI was a thing. There are very few websites that require the speed that you can extract from any popular web framework. At this point we all have access to cheap super computers.

Good to see that this has officially landed. developer.chrome.com/blog/jp…

So, JPEG XL will soon replace most other image file formats. (supercedes jpeg, gif, png, webp) Are we going to call .jxl files 'jay ex ells' or 'jixels'? @JpegXl

There's a big difference in my mind between album artists and compilation artists. There are a lot of really great musicians that have accumulated songs over a period of time but don't really make great albums. Different achievements entirely.

The judge in this case (Todd Lang) should be removed from the bench. bbc.com/news/articles/cwgkvy…

US road rage killer's sentence quashed because AI video of victim was shown in court

The Arizona appeals court ruled that airing an AI message from the dead victim "crossed that line".

In the unlikely event of my accidental or intentional death by the hands of another person, the person responsible should be prosecuted to fullest extent of the law. I do not believe in an afterlife, nor forgiveness for acts of malice or extreme negligence.

To be fully clear: no plea bargains, full trial, death penalty if applicable. The only way I will feel at peace is by receiving full vengeance for cutting short my one and only life.

The existence of extremely successful companies that scaled and were written (and continue to run!) in ruby seems to confuse people to no end.

I think the assumption that AI agents need wide access to a lot of different tools in order to be useful is wrong.

People didn't use JavaScript on the server because it was a better design choice, it is worse than other languages in most respects. People made this choice because their devs already knew JavaScript. It was always a business decision and that choice no longer makes sense.

JavaScript was never designed for the server. If that doesn't change soon, JavaScript on the server will be replaced by Rust. The fix needs to happen in the engine. Sound types. Ahead-of-time compilation. Threads with shared objects.

If you've built a new tool, the LLMs pick it up surprisingly easily without any reference. I don't think this is true.

@chaotictransfemSep 19
it’s kinda sad that we’ll never again have a breakout new language like rust or go, a new version control system, a new shell, become popular. no improvement is enough to outweigh the gains from the familiarity that agents have with the incumbent tools

Never underestimate the power of YouTube channels that are aimed at kids. A large number of kids are just growing up in front of an iPad, these channels make a fortune.

I’ll be honest. I never considered the idea that Ms. Rachel just had one million buckaroos to just donate like that

Having taste is still the barrier to produce anything great. I do think someone will eventually crack the full length "AI movie" but the process will look a lot different than what these people have cooked up.

This film cost $29,575 and took 10 days to make. AI ≠ Cheap Our Nexus feature will still cost millions next year. But it'll look like a $200M film. I have a Claude skill you can copy that makes this easy. Full process and Dreamina prompts below👇🏼🧵

I do think there is a simpler structure that could outperform frontier LLMs for most tasks and be safe by default. We have all the existing components and it would be relatively cheap to figure out if it works.
