I just got my DGX Spark today and local models are just so much more fun. Maybe it’s because I’m not stressed about limits and budgets

@karrisaarinen This is so good

@MeganRisdal looks so good!!

👨‍🎨 Bring Stitch Design to your coding agent with the new Stitch CLI! high quality rapid design you can co-edit in the canvas.

and….. there’s a little self improvement looper in there too for the curious…

Send feedback!

[David East @_davideast]

npm i -g @​google/stitch

Going to from idea, to design, to working thing is faster than ever.

I've been working on this for quite some time. I poured countless hours into designing this CLI so a coding agent to drive nearly anything in your Stitch Canvas.

Stay tuned for a demo video.

[AK Kulkarni @itsakdev]

stitch team is working on some cool things

[Stitch by Google @stitchbygoogle]

Check out the CLI at https://t.co/7Q5Z9FRHs0

And in case you’re up for a bit of an adventure…

A few months ago, we built an internal agentic workflow we all got excited about. Agents watch our codebases, logs, analytics, and user feedback 24/7, and autonomously surface insights and solutions to help us improve our own work.

We’re making it available for you to try today with the `stitch loop` command from the CLI.

CC the entire fam 🤝!

Today, we’re announcing the new CC – an AI agent built for families to spend less time on logistics and more time together.

You can now:

👤 Add up to 5 members to your CC agent
☀️ Start mornings aligned with a shared "Your Day Ahead" brief email
🗓️ Autosync schedules & to-dos with a shared Google Calendar and Tasks
💬 Coordinate in Google Chat with CC to offload relevant tasks (ie., crafting weekly meal plans, school supply shopping lists, etc)
📝 Delegate paperwork (ie., permission slips, forms, and more) for CC to complete under your direction
📌 Keep tabs on the details – CC remembers what applies to everyone (ie., family grocery lists, favorite restaurants) versus what applies to one person (ie., dietary restrictions, local timezones)

Ready to keep everybody on the same page? Join the waitlist or upgrade your existing CC (US only, 18+): https://t.co/6Id5GRBrVc

I donated to the person opposing him: https://t.co/klQY5QUsA1

[Sheel Mohnot @pitdesi]

This one got to me

Perhaps because he’s not an anon, but the favorite to win statewide office in Texas.

Perhaps it’s because the kids in the picture could have been me 25 years ago.

I just donated to his opponent and hope you’ll join me

It really is such a shame how normalized blatant racism has become on this app

I want to think most people are better than this, I really do. But hard when every other post is stuff like this

[Bo French @bofrench]

I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I didn’t believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.

Art is a translation problem. The role of an artist is to experience, perceive, and observe the world and then find a medium through which they can communicate or translate a point of view to a broad audience. The goal is to create something others can not only see but deeply understand. This requires two things: a) an interesting point of view to communicate — an insight, feeling, or understanding that adds something meaningful to our collective experience, and b) the technical ability to shape that insight into a form others can access. You need to know how to translate what's in your head for the rest of the world to understand.

That's art: a + b.

Craft focuses on technical execution. Art uses craft as a vehicle for translating a message. When the medium lacks a point of view, it matters less. Consider the distinctions: poetry versus sentences, film versus video, painting versus pictures, dance versus movement. The difference lies in the presence of a clear point of view—a perspective, something worth translating for others to understand.

Generative models and their impact on art making is that they can radically help with this translation problem. A new way to bridge the gap between vision and execution. AI can't help with how you see and experience the world. But it can aid you on translating it.

I guess I recommend: 1) having a point of view that's interesting and 2) know how to translate it into something meaningful. a+b.

[Karri Saarinen @karrisaarinen]

yeah it is but everything in moderation. Internally we always talked about main quest and side quests.

Everyone should focus on the main quest, and moderately or not all on side quests.

Both quest lines feel productive but only one of them advances the main mission of the company.
