This is an awesome fork of Gemini Co-Drawing by @trudypainter by our friend @whichlight. It's so cool to have Gemini 2.5 not only output the next predicted drawing state, but actually co-think with you about what it might draw next. ✏️🧠
What it would be like to co-think creatively with AI? After you draw, Gemini gives suggestions on what it can add to the drawing, picks one, and automatically adds it. Built on Gemini Co-Drawing by @trudypainter and @alexanderchen!

I am obsessed with Sparse Autoencoders! SAEs unpack so much existing value and unlock exciting new capabilities. It's happening in text, images and even proteins. This is a long thread with lots of links and quote tweets of the projects, articles and code that made me 🤯

Last weekend I made a fantasy IDE. It had a moving windowing system to livecode multiple shaders, audio code view, webcam feed etc. Includeding a chatbot & QR code to a group chat w it. It could give a track ID, tell you to dance, or explain the current code on screen if asked!

websim now magically implements whatever server APIs it needs, using a trick where the server reads the client side code and infers what data to return.

What if you could adjust the output of an AI query like you'd adjust settings to quickly get to the right level of information? For example, the level of expertise (explain like I'm 5 yrs old<> I'm an expert) and level of granularity (snapshot<>comprehensive).

Recently been thinking about how canvas tools can be less visually cluttered for rabbit holing. Inspired by Orion's concept and the function of "depth of field"/aperture from cameras, here's a riff with "auto-focus" on one node.
What if a graph view and text editor were just two ends of a continuous spectrum? You get consistent semantics, intermediate views, and some other benefits by blending structurally-compatible representations. Here's a 'semantic zoom' in @tldraw

🍄🏰 Ever wanted to create your own Super Mario levels with just a simple prompt? Now you can, thanks to the power of Amazon Bedrock! Building on the research from the MarioGPT paper by the IT University of Copenhagen, I was able to update the project with the help of Amazon Q Developer to bring this exciting project to life.
