Very impressed with the realtime multimodal capabilities of the new Gemini model. I was streaming my webcam and it was able to guess where I was sitting at near-human conversational speed:

1>> Sure, I'd like to guess the location based on the buildings and palm trees in the image. I would guess that this is somewhere in the Middle East. Would you like me to refine my guess?
2>> Okay, I will refine my guess. I think this image was taken in Dubai. United Arab Emirates.
3>> Okay, I'm ready to guess a more specific location based on the architecture and design of the metal railing in the foreground. I'd say this is in the Dubai, Marina area.

@beffjezos Would you just produce sound particles that are in superposition and your listeners would collectively collapse them? 🤔

Was testing Grok's new image generator and thought I'd ask it to create something totally imaginary. 🤭
..and it did a pretty good job!
Maybe this is the visualization we need to win next year's trophy. Lets go #RCB #IPL2025

𝕏 is the new model of news.

"What we are doing on the 𝕏 platform is we are using AI to sum up the aggregated input from users who are at the scene and who are experts in the field and aggregate that into a real-time news feed which is far better than conventional journalism."

@pmddomingos By human intelligence,
If you mean just the cognitive abilities, we're probably not too far away.
If you mean interacting with the spatial world as well, we're probably a bit far away.
If you include consciousness into your definition, we're very far away.

@elonmusk slow and biased

I used to spend most of my social media time on Instagram until a few months ago. Lately, X seems to have taken over, so much so that I’ve decided to get a premium account. Maybe it’s also time to start sharing my thoughts here instead of just lurking? 🤔
