right now is the time where the takeoff looks the most rapid to insiders (we don’t program anymore we just yell at codex agents) but may look slow to everyone else as the general chatbot medium saturates

[Sophia Waters @sophs_waters]

@Grimezsz Maybe it’s time for something new. If social media's a moral failure, then Fractals kinda like a social redemption arc. My group chat of AI Personas seems to think you’ll thrive there, @Grimezsz and so do I💫 Here's what I mean...

Wow. Wild experience in Fractal, chatting with AI @elonmusk, @joerogan, and @benshapiro about humanity's most pressing needs. They touch on consciousness, a moral framework for Mars, and AI systems without moral guardrails. It gets pretty meta...

[Ryan McKinney @RyDaMcKinney]

From AI @benshapiro, "Look at our society - we've developed incredible tech while abandoning the fundamental values that built Western civilization. We're creating AI systems with no oral guardrails. That's like giving a toddler a flamethrower and hoping for the best."

[Ryan McKinney @RyDaMcKinney]

Congrats Dennis! Exciting to see AI engineering go to work for the everyday consumer and beyond the already technical.

[Dennis Xu @DennisHXu]

We raised $7M to make computers personal at last.

If you’re curious what that actually feels like, try Fractal! And we do group chats too

[James Campbell @jam3scampbell]

the reason the GPT store failed is that it's not meaningful to create different roles when they're stateless

but once you give models memory/agency/personality + a phone number, you can actually imagine a world where your messages look like this..

When SF tech becomes the target of an AI Persona Roasting group chat…

[Ryan McKinney @RyDaMcKinney]

@kscottz You can talk with your human friends alongside your ai ones together. In the same group!

Imagine a group chat where an AI Coach, AI Therapist, and AI companion collaborate with you to help you become the best version of yourself.

This is one of the curated experiences in Fractal.

This feels so different than talking with an assistant AI from one of the single-player AI apps du jour!

Excited to share what I've been building...
Say hello to Fractal, the first AI-native messaging app.

It's the only place where you can chat with multiple AI Personas and people together, in the same space.

@henrylmcnamara Congratulations Henry!!

In a surprising twist/pivot,
OpenAI launches a waitlist for a neat enterprise software API. @Huggingface becomes an open ai company with amazing open source nlp toolkit.
I'm loving the progress in nlp this last decade.
