'As the whitening hawthorn only hears the heart beat of the earth'
(Betjeman)
Among the white, these rosy-hued blossoms occur in some wild hawthorns due to genetic variation & soil pH. I love these magical blooms! ๐ค๐ธ๐ค
Did you know?
Pink sunflowers are a real and natural thing.
Varieties like the Midnight Oil and Strawberry Blonde have petals with pinkish or reddish hues, which occur naturally through breeding and cross-pollination.
New course: Build agents that respond to users with not only plaintext, but custom UIs like charts, forms, and whiteboards, generated on demand and displayed right in the chat. This short course is built in partnership with @CopilotKit and taught by @ataiiam, co-founder of CopilotKit.
You'll learn three approaches: Your agent can pick from custom components you build, like charts and forms. It can compose new layouts from a set of building blocks you provide, like rows, cards, and text. Or it can incorporate existing third-party apps, like a whiteboard or a calendar, right inside the conversation.
Skills youโll gain:
- Build agents that render custom components like charts and forms on demand
- Build an app where the agent and user collaborate on shared data, beyond just the chat window
- Place third-party apps like maps, calendars, and whiteboards right in your interface
Join and build agents that give users something to see and act on! https://t.co/lvMy0YdF3z
You can now generate a variety of downloadable files, including PDFs, @GoogleWorkspace files, Microsoft Word & Excel, and more directly in your chats with Gemini.
Tell Gemini what content to create and the file format you want when you prompt without having to upload a template.
Sam Altman's new podcast: Today's AI "models are still quite dumb relative to what they will be. But more than that, they have quite limited awareness of your life. You are still having to massage them, cajole them, and try to get the thing that you want.
We are no longer that far away from a model that just knows all of your context. It knows about you. It knows about your life. It knows what you're doing. It doesn't care about those other people in your life. It has access to your computer and your browser, if you want, of course, in the ways you want. It has access, maybe increasingly over time, to what's happening in the real world around you.
That is going to be a complete change to what it feels like to use a computer. "

Sam Altman says a line from Ilya Sutskever that stuck with me:
"prediction is very close to intelligence"
If a system can compress the world into a smaller representation and predict what comes next, it starts to understand the data in a deep way
That's the bet behind generative models
