AI controllability @GoogleDeepMind | ex The M Machine | opinions my own

I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: https://t.co/QRqMK9CpTR is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents.

I didn't write a single line of code.

Incredible stuff from my good friends at @GoogleMagenta - we’re leaving the era of “push button get song” and entering the era of “push button get instrument”

[Google Magenta Project @GoogleMagenta]

Introducing Magenta RealTime 2 (MRT2): the live music model you can play as an instrument.

MRT2 offers MIDI and prompt controls, and runs natively on a MacBook with <200ms latency.

Open weights. Open source inference engine. Suite of apps and plugins.

Hear what it can do and try it out for yourself below 🧵

[Jesse Engel @jesseengel]

I'm so proud of the team for this work. Live, Local, Open, MRT2 is just a lot of fun, and is an AI Instrument puts the person back at the center of making music.

@wesbos The slopocalypse

[Andy Coenen @_coenen]

Managing agentic context today feels like writing code without types.

[Andy Coenen @_coenen]

@JungleSilicon I can hear the music in my head

[Andy Coenen @_coenen]

AI slop writing is more obnoxious than ads, who’s building a slopblocker?

[Andy Coenen @_coenen]

Whoa, increíble!

[nic @nicopoore]

hice una versión pixel art de buenos aires pasen y mirennn 😌 https://t.co/W6kyfmbwu2

@e_harrod No, because verification will just move higher up the ladder - from "does this code work?" to "does this work for real people in the real world?" - people will always want to understand what they're building and why, and whether or not it's working

[Andy Coenen @_coenen]

The future of work is the agentic sandwich:

🍞 people specify
🥓 agents implement
🍞 people verify

[antirez @antirez]

Sorry if I post this again, but: this is the best post about AI slop you are going to read in the next 2 years.

[Andy Coenen @_coenen]

The most interesting problems in computing center around systems to maximize teams' ability to specify and verify and agents' ability to implement

[taoki @justalexoki]

can't believe i spent my whole life becoming Good At Computer only for Computer to become Better At Computer

[Greg Brockman @gdb]

the model alone is no longer the product

[Andy Coenen @_coenen]

from anything to anything - pure magic

[Logan Kilpatrick @OfficialLoganK]

Introducing Gemini Omni 🔮........ Omni is our new model that can create anything from any input — starting with video (think Nano Banana but for video). Available in the Gemini App, Flow, and YouTube, with API support coming soon!

agents give you a choice: you can be more present with family/friends or less. more and more people are going in the wrong direction tho...

[Jason Fried @jasonfried]

The last 20% isn't most of the work, it's all of the work.

My personal benchmark for AGI is "can it fix a broken bluetooth connection to CarPlay"

[Andy Coenen @_coenen]

@nbaschez 👋

[Andy Coenen @_coenen]

@anmol01gulati Can’t wait to see what you build next!

[Andy Coenen @_coenen]

@davidcrawshaw @badlogicgames Congrats, super excited for you guys and love what you’re doing
