The tools will be in *our* hands. It's a BIG WIN for accessibility. It will be commoditized. Indie studios won't be hindered by cost.

The tech continues to accelerate at baffling speeds. This is brilliant. While other see slop, this is opportunity for the masses. Yes, companies will use this to eliminate jobs. It will be terrifying. Economically apocalyptic, even. But there is a silver lining...

Google Project Genie lets you create interactive worlds from a photo or prompt Project Genie lets you generate new worlds 60 seconds at a time, but only if you pay for AI Ultra.

Soon game designers will generate their "base game" from a prompt and start to iterate from there.

The starting point will be slop, but it will obviate literally hundreds of millions in development costs.

Single person dev teams will bring us ground breaking games.

Peachy keen! And you?

A true, privacy-forward phone?

Sign me up, friend.

hahaha! Shark-related outage!

The Underwater Cables That Carry the Internet Are in Trouble If you ask the average American, “where does the internet come from?” the answer you would most likely get would be from space, via satellites. Wrong. The vast majority of information that flows acros...

Why Cohere's ex-AI research lead is betting against the scaling race | TechCrunch Cohere's former VP of AI research, Sara Hooker, is launching a new startup to build AI models that can adapt to their environment.

Fascinating article about the parallels between biology and code.

What China Banning Nvidia Chips Means for the AI Race - Decrypt After years of U.S. sanctions, China moves to ban Nvidia overnight, betting Huawei and homegrown chips are enough to win the AI race.

Establishing tech barriers between nations in this race is counter-productive.

And predictable.

That's on my list of things to try!

A laptop?? I didn't expect that. Of course, I'm not terribly familiar with requirements, so ...

Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’ One Google exec recently said the web is “thriving.”

I'd love to see a non-monetized, "walled garden" approach to the web. If we're going to silo everything, let's create silos that truly benefit the people within them.
