It's like having a jump-scare in your pocket.

Two full volume false alarms for earthquakes back-to-back is crazy. I wonder if someone is poking buttons that they shouldn't be.

[Leonard Burton 🐀 @atomworks]

@NimaZeighami Well, that’s a fast hype drop off for me.

First up, we have Sarah Tan, award winning Product and UX Designer specialising in AR, VR and AI.

@NimaZeighami @justinryanio I’m not sure how we can see add IR object tracking to VisionOS and think they’ve killed the product.

@KeyCompassGames @a_button This shot absolutely feels like it should be on your developer bio. 👾

XReal’s Project Aura looks amazing but they really need someone who understands how to build a real developer community.

@KeyCompassGames @BitSummit If I ever get the chance to say hi again, I’ll be over for sure.

Hope you both enjoy the rest of your time out in Japan! Safe travels.

[Leonard Burton 🐀 @atomworks]

@KeyCompassGames @BitSummit Our conversation got me inspired in so many ways, so thank you!

And if I get any wild ideas to collaborate in the future, I’ll let you know for sure. It doesn’t seem outside the realm of possibility at all.

[Leonard Burton 🐀 @atomworks]

@NimaZeighami That is insane. Was it mostly foreigners or a lot of Japanese people too?

[Leonard Burton 🐀 @atomworks]

This year was my first time heading to #BitSummit and it was amazing. The indie game scene is where it’s at right now.

Not to mention of course a really strong #XR presence.

We’re headed toward good things!

[xrtokyo @xrtokyo_]

Thank you everyone who came to TKO, our #BitSummit afterparty with Tokyo Game Bridge last night.

The turnout was amazing and we couldn’t have wished for a room full of cooler people. We hope you had a great evening!

Same time next year?

At least I can just disable the entire feature. Great work Google! 👍

[Leonard Burton 🐀 @atomworks]

You know LLMs have hit Google in the wallet when they think that sending out unsolicited Chris Pratt movie news is slick move. 🤡

[Leonard Burton 🐀 @atomworks]

Anytime I hear someone tell someone that “AI is coming to eat your lunch”, they don’t actually know anything about said lunch.

@OmniFocus Any plans for an MCP server?
