@andrewjohnhuff I mean, he's literally training on an ocean of gold at golden hour.

[Brad Cooper @mvhacking]

@andrewjohnhuff Me too.

@drgurner Every successful person has at least one. Elon plays video games. Bezos does expeditions. Zuck has jiu-jitsu & MMA. Ellison (Larry) sails and plays tennis. Altman races cars. Jensen cooks and table tennis. Satya does cricket. What well-known successful person has no hobbies?

@saranormous @jaykreps More startups should put these @ProtoHologram's in their fundraising budgets. Especially if they get the one that includes @WilliamShatner.

[Proto Hologram @ProtoHologram]

What a day! @lisarinna stopped by the Proto Hologram showroom and she chatted with Bill Shatner’s multilingual conversational AI avatar about her time on Dancing with the Stars in English and Italian.
Because, why not?

@howiemandel demonstrated the Proto M2 tabletop unit where should customized a watch in real time, and then took a selfie with Sofia Vergara’s hologram captured from Sofia’s phone, inside the Proto. 🤯

We also talked about her incredible career, from Days of Our Lives to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, modeling, and writing

This is what happens when entertainment, artificial intelligence, and presence collide.

Welcome to the future!

🤘🏼🤓🤘🏼 Beam There!

@MatanHazanov They are a marketer. =) It's why that thing in the store is priced at $6.95 vs. $7.00. Not saying that works in raising, but might explain it better.

[Brad Cooper @mvhacking]

This is also true for customers, for media, for new hires, for candidates, for partners.

The CEO should enlist the help of their marketing leader, as this is part of the branding and messaging role: creating custom blurbs, in various lengths, in various formats (text, photos, videos) for various audiences.

If you don't have a marketing person to help with this, why not? Get one.

If you are raising a lot of money and/or want media and/or want to hire the best people, marketing can help with all of this.

Or at minimum, give your AI agent the task to write them, keep them updated, and respond on your behalf, or at least have you in the loop to review/edit the send.

[Brad Cooper @mvhacking]

@shcallaway "Have your agent ask my agent" should be the answer. =)

@victornunez Is that basically autopen? @grok I wonder if that signature is still legally binding?

[Brad Cooper @mvhacking]

@creedunbound @gdb yeah, to me 6.1 Sol High seems like the best for most uses, then Astra when you need the firepower.

[Brad Cooper @mvhacking]

@anthropics_ @gdb what was the prompt? and was it medium, high, max?

[Brad Cooper @mvhacking]

@gdb Cool, Greg, but why didn't it populate the inside of the tram in any way? With seats or people?

Seems like it's hard for it to imagine what's inside, so it's just a solid yellow block and an empty top frame.

[Brad Cooper @mvhacking]

@mert_gulsun The "contributions" to the code base in the month of September.

Doesn't seem to mean the entire codebase, just the recent contributions?

[Brad Cooper @mvhacking]

@mikekalilmfg They look nearly identical, but how do you know for sure, have they confirmed this publicly?

[Brad Cooper @mvhacking]

@joon_s_pk @simile_ai You need a PKD room. The OG.

[Brad Cooper @mvhacking]

@IsaacDrgn @saranormous @Strava @runna Whoop has an API, super easy to connect it to an LLM and your calendar, etc.

[Brad Cooper @mvhacking]

Lesson learned the hard way after many years in tech:

Never launch a new feature or promotion on a Friday.

You usually have a reduced staff and so does any support teams at other partners that you rely upon.

Sam Altman on one of the highest-return years of his career: no job, exploring his interests, and a lot of people who were nice enough to teach him things.

"I read many dozens of textbooks. I learned about fields that I had been interested in. I didn't have any idea that they were all gonna come together in the way they did."

"I learned a lot about nuclear engineering. AI was starting to work, so I learned a lot about AI. I learned about synthetic biology. I learned about investing."

" I met people that were working on all sorts of different things who were nice enough to talk to me."

"If I met someone interesting and it seemed good and needed help, I would just help them. And they would teach me stuff, or they would offer me the chance to invest in their startup later."

"Out of all of it, almost all of it didn't work out. But the seeds were planted for things that worked in deep ways later."

@sama w/ @CraigCannon (Nov 2018)

Great hearing from @andrewchen @bridgitmendler and Porter Smith at @LATechWeek on Physical AI, Space, and Robotics.

disappointing showing for Muse Wonder on our senior engineer benchmark.

it asks the model to rewrite a vibe coded slop codebase from scratch—good measure of its usefulness for real-world engineering

Muse Wonder gets 52%—far behind event GPT-Sol 6.1 at 71%

Forget Super Intelligence.

Let's just skip right to Ludicrous Intelligence (LI).

Or better yet, just skip right to Plaid.

Plaid Intelligence (PI).
