@BradleyYoungjr @emili_iv Plot twist: the BTS footage is AI generated.

[Mathieu PREAU @MatPREAU]

@BradleyYoungjr @emili_iv Because the inefficiency is the message. "We spent hours on a real shoot", or "we use this ancestral craft" - to sell products bloated with ai features btw - is the new luxury signal. Big companies are buying craft credibility to dodge AI bashing.

it’s in gemini, just create it in ai studio. oh, that’s for your personal google one account. for workspace you need gemini business. no, not gemini advanced, that’s ai pro now. unless you need ai ultra. oh agents? you do that in spark actually. no, not gemini api managed agents, that’s different. for coding use jules. unless you mean the agentic ide, that’s antigravity. no, that’s the old antigravity, download the new one. actually gemini cli is being deprecated, use antigravity cli. no the flash model is smarter than the pro model. unless you need pro. if it’s video, use flow. no, flow uses veo. no, nano banana is images. actually that’s in gemini now. unless you’re in search, then it’s ai mode. no, research is notebooklm. anyway it’s all very simple.

16/ AI is wet clay

This was my favorite line from the whole conversation.

"AI is not going to behave the way you want. It's like wet clay. You understand the medium, you know how to manipulate it, but it has a mind of its own."

If you come from a traditional film background where everything on set is intentional, you'll fight this all day.

The work is more about giving the model the right inputs and being open to the happy accidents than directing every detail.

Introducing Nautile-370M, a small reasoning model.
Peers in this size class are trained on 4 to 28 trillion tokens. We trained Nautile on 0.8T.

It still ranks first on 7 of 11 reasoning benchmarks.

I kept running into the same annoying problem: I needed to save a reference video from IG or X, but only a small part of it.

Most tools let you download the video. Then you still need another app to trim it.

So I built my own.

Paste a URL from Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, or almost any social platform. Download it instantly. Trim the part you actually need. Save or copy to clipboard.

Free. Open source. Built with Codex.

Not fully polished yet, but already does the job well.

Much of the design of my new site was made around rabbit holes.

To start with the surface of something simple, say a skull, then slip between (and into) each artwork, collection, person, psalm, their contributions, and how each piece fits together.

I effing hate the emergence of black nitrile gloves in the culinary world. Worse than the neck tattoos. You're not cleaning a carburetor, you're not killing the president of Paraguay. It's a salad, clean hands are fine.

A reimagining of the classic Three Lions crest of the England football team. This animated test piece explores the evolution of the design and demonstrates how it can work across a range of applications and without the 10 stupid rose things. Enjoy.

it's beautiful that I can traverse through 25 years of UI design history by clicking 3 times on Windows 11.

today’s experiment: chimera. a little tool that let’s you realtime morph through a design system matrix generated by 4 reference images.

this one was inspired by listening to @jameygannon talk about her process on Dive Club with @ridd_design and How I AI with @clairevo. her approach to choosing moodboards over prompts made me wonder what might be possible if we applied that same approach to generative UI. and after a few dead ends, the idea turned into chimera.

the results are very generic at the moment but I might tune it up if people seem interested.

the big reminder for me is how much more inspiring a tool feels when you can explore in realtime instead of waiting for results every time you make a change.

lots more things to try in that direction.

J’ai fait monter un autostoppeur hier.
Après s’être installé, il m’a remercié et m’a demandé comment je faisais pour être sûr qu’il n’était pas un tueur en série.
Je lui ai répondu que le risque qu’il y ait deux tueurs en série dans la même voiture était quasiment nul.
