Today we’re announcing Warp’s refreshed, reimagined brand.

[Cristóbal Valenzuela @c_valenzuelab]

When large AI models become proficient at narrow tasks, there's a tendency to oversimplify and reduce a discipline to a one-liner description that encapsulates the model's output. It's as if we're trying to solve for the first sentence in a Wikipedia entry: filmmaking is reduced to making pictures move, coding to writing code, and painting to creating images. We confuse being able to mimic the surface elements with deeply comprehending the underlying whole.

This reductionist thinking leads to premature and exaggerated claims, such as "AI can generate a 20-second video, so it's the end of filmmaking." However, this logic assumes that the entirety of filmmaking can be boiled down to creating sequences of frames on a screen. That's like claiming that we've solved soccer because we've created a robot that can score a goal every time it kicks the ball. While scoring goals is the objective of soccer, the true essence of the game goes far beyond that. You can't solve soccer by optimizing for a simplistic description. These narrow tasks are merely the visible outputs - the finger pointing at the moon, not the moon itself.

The problem lies in viewing things solely from the perspective of the AI model, rather than considering the human aspects of a discipline. We are obsessed with AI, but we should be obsessed with what people can do with AI.

As absurd as this sounds to the uninitiated, my experience with @QuickBooks leads me to have absolutely no doubt Aaron is experiencing a genuine catastrophe. QB just chips away at any remaining brand loyalty day by day.

[Aaron Cohen @avcohen]

Failing to see why @Intuit, @QuickBooks and @GreenDotBank have suddenly closed my payroll and checking accounts after promptly sharing all requested documents - ID, Bank Statements, etc..

You all have frozen my business funds!

[Seth Kranzler @polyrhythmic]

@rachaelyaeger Scam :(

[Seth Kranzler @polyrhythmic]

@_vade shortcuts has a crazy community, it's a bit of a pain to develop in sometimes but quite powerful

[Seth Kranzler @polyrhythmic]

Does anyone have references for sites that nail accessibility? Why? #a11y

[Seth Kranzler @polyrhythmic]

What tragedy occurred in May 2022 that global use of IE jumped to almost 2% of traffic?

[Seth Kranzler @polyrhythmic]

Holy moly react-fiber is so cool. You can use suspense with materials!

@rachaelyaeger @_HHFF 😢 I should have gone

[Seth Kranzler @polyrhythmic]

@figma is it possible to enforce 2FA for collaborators for any file in a team?

[Seth Kranzler @polyrhythmic]

@justworks Still having issues with this, it does make it hard to use the platform 🙃 @yujinkim02 as a developer please let me know if I can help

[Seth Kranzler @polyrhythmic]

@justworks hi, having a strange bug where I cannot use the keyboard to change a date range on “payment activity” for a vendor. Macos, chrome and firefox same behavior

[Lauren Lee McCarthy @laurenleemack]

[Seth Kranzler @polyrhythmic]

@bernhardsson Their topic recommendations are similarly terrible and behave in a way that makes me think they are super simple bag-of-words models...

[Seth Kranzler @polyrhythmic]

@matt_mcclure @MuxHQ Awesome, thanks! Didn't realize this was an option. My google fu failed me... love the product by the way. Has totally transformed how we develop sites with moving images

[Seth Kranzler @polyrhythmic]

@MuxHQ hello, is there any way to set up accounts for clients using the same email? We use mux in our studio site and want to set it up for a client. But I already have an account... Something similar to Contentful would be great.

[Seth Kranzler @polyrhythmic]

[Seth Kranzler @polyrhythmic]
