How can we leverage technology to make us more efficient and effective? (and the world a better place!)

[John Carmack @ID_AA_Carmack]

If you are asking “Why push back against anti-datacenter efforts?” I consider it a tragedy that anti-nuclear efforts largely strangled nuclear power in the US based on vibes, and I don’t want to see that happen to AI. Public opinion matters, and it shouldn’t be ceded unchallenged.

If you are asking “Why should I support AI efforts at all?” I believe we are in the midst of a transition more vibrant than the industrial revolution. Opinions formed a couple of years ago about the uselessness of AI are no longer valid. Millions of people and organizations are getting great returns from using it, and the demand for data centers is the market responding to the value signal. That is how progress is made!

God's eye view 24-hour replay of Operation Epic Fury.

The Iran strikes kicked off and I set an AI agent swarm loose to record every OSINT signal I could find before the caches cleared. Built a full 4D reconstruction in WorldView.

I can scrub through minute by minute and watch the whole thing unfold on a 3D globe:

> Airspace clearing over Tehran
> Ground strike coordinates locking in
> Severe GPS interference blinding the region
> EO and SAR satellites making passes over the strike zone
> No-fly zones locking down 9 countries
> Shipping fleets scrambling at the Strait of Hormuz

It's pretty amazing how complete of a picture you can build without "proprietary data fusion" -- one dev with public signals and a love for computer graphics and geospatial intelligence.

Thank you for all the love on my last post. Dropping WorldView in April. This my friends is just the beginning.

Shock!

I asked the Devin AI agent to go on reddit and start a thread where it will take website building requests

It did that, solving numerous problems along the way. It apparently decided to charge for its work. Going to take it down before it fools anyone... https://t.co/QcsXu2PRs4

Many devs thought they'd be stuck debugging AI gen'ed code. Here, Claude writes tests and fixes a bug itself.

[Alex Albert @alexalbert__]

To start, if you want to see Claude 3.5 Sonnet in action solving a simple pull request, here's a quick demo video we made.

This is wild.

Runway AI just dropped Gen-3 Alpha that generates AI video just from text and images.

A step toward building General World Models.

100% AI 🤯

Has technology finally gone too far

[Matt Turck @mattturck]

Watch an AI grown man go through more mood swings in a few seconds than a hormonal teenager

Seriously impressive stuff from @synthesiaIO - the avatars understand the script and adjust facial expressions, voice and demeanour — without any input/editing

This is Microsoft VASA-1. From a SINGLE portrait photo. Behold the wonder. A stoic Mona Lisa. Renaissance meets rap! Remember, this is the worst AI will ever be, it's moving at lightspeed. #ai #MonaLisa

you are much stronger than you know, so do not give up on your dreams

@PaulieScanlon @GatsbyJS Look forward to MDX 2 support - just pulled MDX Embed out of a project because I wanted to use MDX 2 - saw 1.0 and thought maybe it had it. :(

@ColbySheets Please post about the desk! That is awesome as well! Love the wood and epoxy combo.

@melandnat @JimGaffigan I’m pro-life too. I want all humans to live. How many unnecessary COVID-19 deaths have occurred because of Trumps complete bungling of the US response? It is actually far more than the number of abortions in the US. How many of us will die due to his climate policies?

Remote #MobProgramming seems to be made much easier with MS Teams. Video calls by channel you can pop in and out of are available. Its like walking around the office and saying hi to each mob easily.
