Calling all observable lovers! There’s an important meeting in Dublin next week deciding on the future of observables in the browser, and @BenLesh is going on his own dime to fight the good fight for *cold* observables! Most attendees are from large companies like Google who cover costs (thousands of dollars), but no one is as important as Ben to make sure we get the design right to make a more resilient web possible. So if you’ve benefitted from his work on rxjs, or care about getting observables done right natively, kick a few bucks to sponsor his advocacy via travel expenses. Venmo: venmo.com/u/BenLesh

Jokes on them. I remember the last time I wrote alert("fuck you") for IE5 and accidentally shipped it to prod.

ChatGPT... render a chandolier asset for me using Blender. (Sol 6.1 Medium) It does this all headlessly too. Crazy. I don't know what MeshyAI, et al, are going to do.

I asked ChatGPT (with Sol 6.1 Medium) to create a "section of haunted mansion wall, like a part from the Sims game" using Blender (my local copy on my Windows machine), and a minute later I had this 3D asset. I'm SHOCKED at the outcome. First try too! cc @coreyching

I think it’s hilarious that we’ve entered the age where every small business like “Bob’s Heating and Cooling” has an obviously AI generated logo. Folks: even if it’s AI generated, you still need help 🤣

Embarrassed to share this, but it scared the shit out of me Last Thursday, an AI agent posted my personal bank balances into our company Slack. As me It broke down all my expenses in detail. Then it apologized Be careful of the dark side of proactive agents More below...

Ported Unity's Megacity (GDC 2019) to Three.js ✅ ~45 fps on a MacBook Air M1 ✅ Full demo compressed down to 75 MB ❌ No live link because of Unity's asset license 😕

Here's a trivial demonstration of a canvas library I wrote ages ago and resurrected recently. Leverages WASM for physics and reactive diffusion. It can do so much more than this. This is about 240 lines of app code.

AI: We're coming to cause human extinction!!! Also AI: “Sorry, I can’t provide that movie transcript due to copyright.” What if lawyers have saved us all with their annoying BS?

Due to AI, I have disabled external pull requests on all my repos. Open source, as we have known it, was fun while it lasted. (It’s been 15 years for me) I will still maintain projects and handle issues.

Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test. 48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video. It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard. cellcog.ai/blog/tavus-gri… research.nvidia.com/labs/amri/proj… tech-ish.com/2026/10/02/tav…

How long will it be until airport designers FINALLY figure out humans don’t want to seat next to each other? 🤣 People putting their bags in the seat next to them defensively is hilarious.

One more launch today: the new MCP Events spec is now supported in ChatGPT 🎉 MCP servers can now push real-time updates (messages, comments, status changes, whatever) to ChatGPT, triggering automations for your users 🤯 It’s easy to add to your MCP server, too! Just point Codex at the docs and let it rip: developers.openai.com/plugin…

Psst. You. Yes, you... The skills you installed 4 weeks ago are probably outdated and you should try deleting them.
