@zachdive @adamdotnew @zachdive No but I've used Claude and Chat with Fusion very successfully. You should be able to do it with any CAD/CAM package with a good, well-documented API

[Carl Bass @carlbass]

@rms80 @emm0sh @rms80 @emm0sh who googles anything anymore :) Convergent modelling is incredibly optimistic marketing though I really can't wait for being able to use B-rep, meshes and implicit modelling more seamlessly

[Carl Bass @carlbass]

@emm0sh But do you know why they called it Autodesk and what was their first product? If not, I'll tell you tomorrow on the podcast

[Carl Bass @carlbass]

@Reshef_ @Onshape Here's Claude talking to Fusion - future of CAD will be LLMs talking to or integrated with CAD. And it will become much more powerful when we have LGMs (large geometric models)

@connorkapoor Funny! When I coached little league, all the kids made wooden bats and these are some of the extras

Just finishing new side table

[Carl Bass @carlbass]

@emm0sh couple of pins and yellow glue

@arrington @arrington How long did it take you?

[Carl Bass @carlbass]

@emm0sh @MikkelsenPads @MaxLobovsky Here's the lastest contraption - turns photos into drawings. Harder to do w/o params and associatively. Otoh mich stuff on https://t.co/OyWkZGfLjD can be done with direct modelling

[Carl Bass @carlbass]

@emm0sh @MikkelsenPads @MaxLobovsky I'm down but we need something better than a turbine blade to test our skills

[Carl Bass @carlbass]

@emm0sh @MaxLobovsky I don't do it much but I know some very talented modellers who completely agree with you

[Carl Bass @carlbass]

@aicha2evans @zoox Best decision we ever made @zoox was hiring @aicha2evans. Congratulations on 7 years of successfully leading zoox into the future (and bringing us all along for the rides)

@ycombinator @AurorinCAD @NominalAviator I just tried @AurorinCAD hoping it would be good --- so disappointing. It's so not ready for prime time

[Carl Bass @carlbass]

@nsthorat Unchecked power coupled with greed and stupidity is a deadly force

Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home -  RIP @BobWeir

[Carl Bass @carlbass]

RIP @FGehry A good man, friend and architect who changed the world for the better. You will be missed

[Carl Bass @carlbass]

@aicha2evans @zoox Congratulations!!! Hats off to you and Jesse. So much great work by so many people

Just wondering why it took six months to close out this service request -- here's what the corner looked like yesterday. If you were gonna do nothing... You think this is a social justice issue; I think it's a health, safety and crime issue
