an expressive synth, anti aging software, a flight check in bot, short films, a space bar, and so much more!

loved the range of creativity from everyone’s demos and excited to see what people build next ✨

1970s: Let's scare the heck out of people about nuclear energy, so that instead of zero-emission power plants we'll use lung-darkening, climate-warming coal and oil plants, killing millions in the process.

2020s: Let's scare the heck out of people about AI, so that instead of amplifying human intelligence and solving the world's biggest problems, we'll make sure progress slows down to a crawl.

I’m scared of AGI. It's confusing how people can be so dismissive of the risks.

I’m an investor in two AGI companies and friends with dozens of researchers working at DeepMind, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Brain. Almost all of them are worried.

Select text, right click (or keyboard shortcut), & a pop-up window appears for quick commands.🪄✨

Summarize, translate, reformat, debug -- without switching apps.

twitter influencers went from "the world must be decentralized" to betting everything on a single company's API over night

"There's a whole generation of app developers who've only ever known the cloud, which separates them from appreciating the direct advances in hardware considerably. As companies start redoing the math on cloud, developers might care about metal again." https://t.co/gOyE9u5Sse
