[Mei @meientc]

a top career question for new grads in AI: big company, startup, or build your own?

fav answer @Columbia_Biz’s #NYTechWeek event: don’t pick what sounds impressive. pick where you’ll actually be good.

aka if you’re going to start a co, you’ll do it anyway even if people say no!

[Mei @meientc]

if you can’t tell by my X join date, I downloaded this app to buy turnips on animal crossing.

now, I’m back for a different kind of market… to document life in #SF tech 🌁

Saw a glimpse of the future at the MIT Media Lab:

• A magnetic AI pet that lives on your desk, notices + responds to you, and feels alive
• A glove that guides your hands through physical tasks using EMS with applications from learning piano to helping the motor impaired
• AI-powered instruments that listen and improvise alongside musicians in real time
• Experiments in giving AI a body, allowing it to develop its own physical expression in response to music
• Text --> image --> scent?!
