from apps to material

software used to be something you opened

an app was a room with walls: calendar here, notes there, music there, work there. each one had its own logic, buttons, its own little kingdom. the user moved between kingdoms, carrying context in their head

but ai starts to break the walls

software becomes less like a destination and more like material. something you shape, combine, stretch, ask, remix, and leave behind as traces. a document can become an app. a conversation can become a workflow. a song can become a memory. a task can become an agent. the boundary between using and making gets blurry

the old model was: choose the right tool for each task

the new model is: express the shape of the thing you want, then refine it with the system you built

this changes the role of the interface. ui is no longer only fixed views for fixed functions. it becomes a surface where intent turns into structure. the best interfaces will feel less like menus and more like clay – responsive, persistent, inspectable, and alive

apps won’t disappear. rooms are still useful. but the deeper shift is that software stops being a set of sealed containers and becomes a medium people can think through

like paper, but executable
like language, but spatial
like memory, but programmable

software stops being something only programmers make

it becomes material anyone can shape

120ms → 40ms. DAU +30%. That is what happened when a mobile game going global combined Tencent Cloud Gaming Cloud + TRTC. Real-time infrastructure is not just backend—it is your retention engine. #GamingCloud #TRTC

Most enterprises don't lose momentum because their product isn't ready.

A platform that performs well in 1 region can struggle when it reaches new markets: higher latency, fragmented compliance needs, inconsistent user experiences, complex localization.

The ONLY reason OpenAI and Anthropic people keep working at all, when they could just cash out and quit, is to be informed contemporary witnesses.

Nobody is there for the money anymore, also not even for career advancement anymore. None of those status signals will matter soon.

are we underusing the bottom of the screen in AI apps?

It was always the case that agency was self-compounding, but AI is magnifying the effect. Low-agency AI users further lose agency, high-agency AI users further gain agency.

Built with Gemini 3: a video recording tool that simulates a live stream, with AI-generated audience commenting about what you're saying in real time & hyping you up

So you can feel more confident when recording videos & get ideas for what to talk about next. Video can be exported as mp4.

Made in @GoogleAIStudio

@CivicCookie @adam91holt @GoogleDeepMind you can use the "build" feature in Gemini 3 pro preview now, seemingly not chat feature

小技巧：如何借助 Gemini 提取超过 1 小时的长视频字幕？

如果视频超过 1 小时，大概率在输出到 1 小时左右的位置时，Gemini 会中断输出，并且已经输出的内容都看不到了（参考图1）。

这个问题可以通过这两种方式之一解决：

1. 在接近 1 小时的位置手动停止输出，在停止后输入 "continue" 继续（参考图2）。但这种方式有时候还是可能会输出失败，似乎 Gemini 对于太长的输出还是有限制

2. 在接近 1 小时的位置手动停止输出，在停止后把之前的目录复制出来（参考图3），在 Gem 中新开一个会话，把视频地址和目录一起粘贴过去，然后在底部加一句：

> please start from "{从目录中复制出来的你希望开始的章节位置}"

（参考图4）

你还可以让它在指定位置结束：
> please start from "{开始章节}" to "{结束章节}"

这样就可以避免因为内容太长而停止输出的问题

Soon we will launch our new model at @MagicPathAI.
It will be the best model in the world for interface design.

Design is, and always will be, the moat.

Here are some one-shot results from an early checkpoint.
