Mahindra is launching EVs like mobile phones.

The future will be dearth of options to choose from with very little shelf life.

I believe it should be modular.

Batteries that can plug in any car will win the race.
The shell will be commodotise with 3d printing.

Not just INdigo but all the airlines should say sorry.

They turned to profitability instead of helping passengers increasing the prices at will. As high as 10x.

Only when govt intervened did they start capping

Pathetic aviation industry and hospitality

Unbelievable, colour theory application at its peak 🔥🔥

It is hard to grasp how realistic a #GaussianSplatting scan feels on #MetaQuest, so I made this video. Recording and scanning were done at different times of the day, hence the lighting difference, but overall only a side by side comparison in the headset does justice to how smooth and trippy it feels.

Did you already tried Hyperscape? What's your impression?

[Kumar Ahir @kernel_kumar]

Wow.
This is profound.
I am going to try this out with my AI coach

[Carlos E. Perez @IntuitMachine]

Someone figured out a surprisingly simple way to make AI agents better at their jobs: just give them a personality.

I just read a paper on "Psychologically Enhanced AI Agents," and it's a fascinating look at how we can steer AI behavior without any complex or expensive retraining.

Here's the context: Normally, if you want an AI to be good at a specific task (like creative writing vs. strategic analysis), you have to do costly and time-consuming "fine-tuning."

The problem is that a generic, one-size-fits-all AI often isn't the best fit. A model optimized for factual recall might not be great at generating an empathetic, emotional story.

The key finding is a framework called MBTI-in-Thoughts. By simply telling an LLM to adopt a specific Myers-Briggs (MBTI) personality type in its prompt, its behavior changes in predictable and useful ways.

For example, in a strategic game:

"Thinking" (T) type agents chose to defect nearly 90% of the time.
"Feeling" (F) type agents were more cooperative, defecting only about 50% of the time.
This was achieved with just a prompt, no fine-tuning needed.

What makes this so interesting is its unexpected simplicity. The ability was there all along, latent within the model. The prompt just acted as a key to unlock it.

To make sure it wasn't just a fluke, the researchers had the primed AI take the official 16 Personalities test. The AI's answers consistently matched the personality it was assigned. It truly "became" that type for the task.

This completely changes how I think about prompt engineering. It’s no longer just about what you ask the AI, but who you ask the AI to be.

The practical applications are immediate:

Need an AI for empathetic customer support? Prime it as an ISFJ ("The Defender").
Need one for ruthless market analysis? Try an ENTJ ("The Commander").
You can match the agent's "aptitude" to the task at hand.

The broader implication is a future where we move away from monolithic AI models. Instead, we could build diverse teams of AI agents, each with a personality tailored to its specific role.

Imagine a creative "ENFP" agent brainstorming with a logistical "ISTJ" agent to plan a complex project. It raises a new question: what's the optimal personality mix for solving a given problem?

Ultimately, this research points toward a future of more versatile, capable, and aligned AI. We're learning that we can shape not just an AI's output, but its entire cognitive and affective style for a task. A simple prompt can unlock a whole new dimension of behavior.

Alright, friends – my NEW Apple Vision Pro app Metaballs: Spatial has launched! 🤯

This was SO much work, and would mean the world to me if you share, and go download it today!

[Dilmer 🔜 AWE @Dilmerv]

This week we released a variety of new Meta wearables, including Oakleys and Ray-Bans, some designed for hardcore sports and others for lifestyle!

📣 I’ll also be making a new video covering all of these glasses, and I had the opportunity to bring them back to my studio.

Made this cavelike restaurant 3d environment with Marble from @theworldlabs @drfeifei, just with an image

The model converts it into environments you can move around & has great object permanence.

This is done with Gaussian Splatting, more on that and results from my other prompts 👇

Weekly warmup today was all about Personal Storytelling.
Bringing unique experiences together and crafting a story that talks about who you are today.
With deep personal meaning.

[Justin Ryan ᯅ @justinryanio]

I’m blown away by Meta’s Hyperscapes. You feel like you’re actually there.

Makes me wish I could go back in time, capture the places I’ve loved, and step back into them whenever I want.

The fact you can capture these with Quest 3 is wild.

This is an excellent overview of the state of VR/AR

“truly world-changing breakthroughs must begin before the industry is mature. They require persevering for years despite misunderstanding, through lonely exploration and persistent effort, before success finally comes… Here's to everyone with the courage to stay the course for the long-term, even when it means going against the consensus.”

[Thomas Suarez @tomthecarrot]

Meta's launch of RayBan Display is a great step forward for the AR industry. It's interesting to see their alignment with some of our early design decisions.

Raven Glass is opening soon to developers with onboard 64-bit ARM compute and root access. If you want to build apps that run directly on stylish smart glasses and not rely on a limited mobile API, check out the EarlyBird program :)

Excited to bring other unique features such as eye tracking and the hot-swappable battery system to the mix.
