@cursor_ai Live right next door but not sure who to get an invite from anyone (or @cusor_ai) want to free up one for lil' ol' me?

[Sean Shadmand @sshadmand]

With all the modern tech at my disposal, accomodate still does not have a correction for the missing M in spellcheck. I really shouldn't need GPUs for that. <sign>

[Sean Shadmand @sshadmand]

OMG this was way to fun (and easy) to make. I love her! (don't worry Rosie you are still #1)

A new experiment with Seedance 2.0 on @mitte_ai : FACS.

For this videos, I only used FACS codes in the prompt. I didn’t describe the facial expressions in plain language at all.

FACS (Facial Action Coding System) is a system for describing facial expressions using individual muscle movements called Action Units (AUs), instead of general emotion labels like “happy” or “sad.” It breaks the face into controllable components such as brow movement, eyelid tension, lip movement and cheek activation.

Even though it didn’t follow all 14 Action Units perfectly, it still interpreted most of them surprisingly well.

I think this could become especially useful for subtle facial acting, forced smiles, uncanny expressions, mixed emotions and micro-performance details during close-up dialogue shots.

You can check the prompt for first 15s, a list of FACS codes generated with GPT Image 2 in the replies.

Made it 10 seconds before realizing @TallTailsTrail was more of a joke than “seriously strong” :-/

[Sean Shadmand @sshadmand]

We think we are so unique in our interests and controversies in our time. Mais non.

The original reference I mentioned is from "Mister Charlie Lindbergh". A great song that got me into Guthrie in the first place was "Tear the Fascists Down". Have a listen.

[Sean Shadmand @sshadmand]

I was listening to Woody Guthrie and heard his line "They say 'America First,' but they mean 'America Next!'" and I had to read up on it. I thought AI got confused. He wrote "Old man trump" 64 years before he was elected president? So I dug more..

[Sean Shadmand @sshadmand]

Incredible. Woodie Guthrie wrote the song about Trump's DAD, Fred Trump, who was a slum lord of Guthrie's apartment at the time and his disgust of his practices. Incredible vein of history.

[Sean Shadmand @sshadmand]

Is it just me or do AI coders prefer creating POST and RCP like routes? They don't seem to respect RESTful concepts. AI is so advanced at this point, is it because it determined that REST is not a good standard?

[Sean Shadmand @sshadmand]

Claude with Blender. The expansion rate is insane.

[Sean Shadmand @sshadmand]

After trying to do the "easier" way, I give up. The harder way doesn't involve me hating life. Claude gets it.

[Sean Shadmand @sshadmand]

Oh Claude, you are so bad <soft shoulder push>

[Sean Shadmand @sshadmand]

@_vmlops It is amazing how well it did, and just as amazing at how wrong some simple parts were.

[Sean Shadmand @sshadmand]

GPT-5.5 Medium is messing up a lot. Missed use of exiting options, understanding of code intent. Seems like a step backwards. Maybe I have an early release?

[Sean Shadmand @sshadmand]

What you can do with a single prompt on the latest ChatGPT. Clean text, organized images, cleanly separate sections.

[Sean Shadmand @sshadmand]

Claude must have had a rough childhood. So thirsty. Wants to prove to me it can do it.... or just a good way to get users to burn tokens.

[Sean Shadmand @sshadmand]

Completely off of @playwrightweb with @claudeai. The flexibility to say "do that test a few times with variation" is nice, and being able to test any data on the page at the time without pre-fabing is a huge unlock.

[Sean Shadmand @sshadmand]

I do like how frank Claude is. TurboTax is safe for at least another year :-D

[Sean Shadmand @sshadmand]

The new abstract token/cost models: "Now that you need us, we will charge you however we want"

[Sean Shadmand @sshadmand]

The benefits here are paying dividends. This time, Claude is pushed features the others don't have. I pay less overall per month for more features!

[Sean Shadmand @sshadmand]

Smart way to beat expensive AI subscriptions:
$20/mo each for Codex, Cursor, Claude, and Windsurf. Same codebase. Same configs. I just split the work across all four like a team of employees. $80/mo gets me more done than any single $200+ plan ... and I get to learn the best workflow ideas from all of them.
