@wardamnbilly I sold my 2016 Macan S for $17k a few months ago, only 40k miles. Trust me the real cost is not the sticker price.

Why doesn’t Iran just request equity in Anthropic? Are they dumb?

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

BREAKING: The proposed US-Iran peace deal includes a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran, per NYT.

The program is being called an international "investment fund," which the US would facilitate in the final deal.

This comes as Iran demands "reparations" to end the war.

@tonyannett Why did you post a graph disproving your own point? So youre saying the rich do not pay the majority of taxes, and then you posted a graph showing that the top 20% pay 66% of taxes?

[Andy Lin @andy_lin94]

@gabriel_zucman 3% is so misleading! It’s actually 4% when you account for everything else!

@AOC Now do Taylor Swift and Michael Jordan

This is why Roblox is a generational company

[David Baszucki @DavidBaszucki]

We’re on the verge of interactive, real-time, photorealistic video generation with what are called World Models. These require a fair amount of expensive compute, but costs will come down over time. Today, these interactions are essentially real-time dreams. They lack the persistence and shared logic that turns a video into a multiplayer game. Or concert. Or classroom. Or the holodeck.

We believe the ultimate architecture for gaming (and the holodeck) is Roblox Reality. It’s a hybrid architecture that marries the structured data and logic of the Roblox Engine and Roblox Cloud with the generative power of Video World Models. The Roblox Engine provides the underlying synchronized ground truth—the score, physics, multiplayer sync, etc.—while our video model acts as a Super Upsampler to layer on photorealistic detail.

We believe this will ultimately remove barriers to high-fidelity creation, allowing a team of three people to build a narrative-driven, photorealistic masterpiece in a single week. This is an early look at turning solitary AI dreams into a social, playable reality.

@amoufarek @GoogleDeepMind I’m a game developer, would be interested in hearing more. Been trying to integrate AI tools into a game dev workflow for years, with mixed results.

@Lazgar_lockman Me when I spread misinformation

[Very AFK @Cromwelp]

Marathon is number 2 in sales, and rising. Hopefully tracking to a successful launch. I really want a game that feels like Destiny without all the nonsense!

[Andy Lin @andy_lin94]

@jsnnsa I’m on a 5090; it’s not that the game is running slow. The movement is and gameplay is sluggish. Characters don’t feel good to control. At least not compared to games from Unity/Epic.

I’m not saying any of this as criticism btw. This is all steps in the right direction.

@martin_casado @cursor_ai @convex What engine are you building in? My experience is that Opus 4.6 one shots a game but I have to port over the files to the engine everytime I want to make a change

@Stretchedwiener “I do not do this therefore no one in the entire industry does it”

[Andy Lin @andy_lin94]

@wildhart_z AI doesn’t do this though, it starts with pure noise and denoises the entire image at once. This definitely isn’t AI (I’m not making any claims as to what it is, just that it’s not AI).

@Jeopardy408 Congrats on the new gig!

[Andy Lin @andy_lin94]

@mukundkapoorr @cluely Im pretty sure their primary demographic is college students using this to cheat on exams and interviews so Gen Z is their audience

[Andy Lin @andy_lin94]

@Jeopardy408 You competing??

@cpaik How does a company like Amazon fit into this framework? Isn’t it an example of a bottoms-up flagship (e-commerce) founding another flagship product in an unrelated space (AWS)?
