Designer working on agentic systems @Microsoft. Co-host of @FeatureCrewPod. I spend my free time trying to figure out how to make a time machine.

Trying to think outload about AI, AGI, and the future. If that's interesting to ya, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this:

Welp, that happened faster than I predicted. Thought it would be end of 2027, then early 2027, but agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet's history. https://t.co/2zX5bHdhsa

@jsngr If Claude adds one more vertical stroke to the left edge of a component….

@tszzl I always knew they were a front:

No one has a harder marketing job than the TurboTax team when it isn’t tax season.

[Jesse Lubbers @jesselubbrs]

AI makes everyone a designer the same way autotune makes everyone a singer.

[Jakob Braunschweiger @braunch]

@EightTwo_Three Either local models or a “generative dlc” approach

People are ok being content limited but not time limited

[Chris Oslund @EightTwo_Three]

Still haunted by how true @braunch’s point that ‘no one wants to watch token totals drop as they play a game’ is. Kills player experimentation and exploration

Going to need local models to fully unlock new game types.

new james bond game is really very good as a story, as a game, and as a spectacle. you can really feel that many people put a lot of love and attention into its every detail, and that's what redeems AAA games, in the end.

[Chris Oslund @EightTwo_Three]

@rand_longevity This is why spending tokens on saying “Thank you.” And “Well done.” are never wasted tokens

[Chris Oslund @EightTwo_Three]

@harshilmathur Short term phenomena. For example squarespace and Wordpress sites run a stunning amount of the Internet, vibe coded sites could easily hit that level and get tons of usage beyond tastemakers.

No one needs a neighborhood shop’s site to be a design award winner.

@enjojoyy Don’t discount stories that have passed the filter of history. 99% of our sci-fi will be forgotten before the end of the century.

@difficultyang The true test of great enterprise AI.

[Chris Oslund @EightTwo_Three]

@corsaren On record on @FeatureCrewPod as saying the most defensible moat is an IP universe you own that people enjoy exploring. We’re gonna see an explosion of solo/small team creative universes.

[Chris Oslund @EightTwo_Three]

@corsaren Fundamentally don’t believe this. There’s a ton of territory the labs won’t touch it just isn’t the traditional VC lane. AI is fundamentally bad at creativity but great at productivity. VCs invested far more in productivity historically.

[Chris Oslund @EightTwo_Three]

@JustinBleuel @ChatGPTapp ChatGPT is extremely eager to show the placeholder image gen component especially when asking for it to write prompts for video models. Answer resolves correctly but the placeholder showing up makes it feel like it misunderstood the prompt.

[Chris Oslund @EightTwo_Three]

But for real why do LLMs love having these vertical lines at the edges of components?

[Mario Zechner @badlogicgames]

if we see this, we know

This is truly incredible.

@yunta_tsai They said it couldn’t be done.

Dozens of Starlink satellites simultaneously track Starship at all times and close the link through a gap in the plasma that is located in the leeward region towards the aft end of the rocket.

@ae_stallings Didn’t sports and finance news experiment with algorithmic articles pre GPT? Game/stock updates no analysis.
