@awilkinson Have u used it? Why do you think so?

[stork @stoooork]

100 year old defense of painting vs. new technology (the photograph) ironically reads as a justification of AI in art.

The greatest trick the zuck ever pulled was convincing the world they are not the product

[Jessica Lessin @Jessicalessin]

I am using Muse so much that I keep expecting it to tell me I have used up my capacity. This seems both encouraging but also perplexing to me. Maybe browsing the internet doesn’t take up that much compute???

@PhillipsColinG @isaiah_p_taylor That's more like it baby

@sarunw u wonder how quickly before it is from English to machine code.

python will seem like a distant intermediate layer. Like dial up modems

I think oshaughn is becoming the greatest

I wish he would invest in lighting his shoots more

[Patrick OShaughnessy @patrick_oshag]

My conversation with Noah Shinn (@noahrshinn), founder of Instinct.

Noah is building a personal AI assistant. It's still invite only, has spent nothing on marketing, and is growing roughly 10% A DAY.

This is his first long conversation about the company.

We discuss:
- Why Instinct doesn't have an app
- Buying compute months ahead of exponential demand
- How users learn to trust it with a credit card
- Safety and security
- Agents coordinating with other people's agents
- Instinct's business model
- Apps built on consumer inertia
- and more

Enjoy!

@maxniederhofer wat

[Finn McKenty @thefinnmckenty]

Imagine a guy in a fedora and transition lenses, who’s also part of a “vegan rationalist polycule” in SF, starts breathlessly ranting to you about how AI is going to destroy humanity.

That’s literally what’s happening… act accordingly.

[stork @stoooork]

@isaiah_p_taylor the simpler line would also still say that, and more confidently

@gandamu_ml This is really great

[stork @stoooork]

I want to go to a club where men have dozens of animations of this style on SD cards lining their trench coats. People bid, people beg.

And if an animation hits the internet, it immediately disintegrates

[gandamu @gandamu_ml]

I had Opus 5.5 create a player and tools for Another World's approach to animation.
.. and also had it create a realtime video for Kavinsky-Nightcall starring Lester from Another World driving to the lab. With crude compression, it's <250KB for bin+data. Audio is larger.

@TheAnnaGat Ask him why he hasn't written a book in many years.

He has wonderful thoughts, why not put it in something longer lasting than podcasts and interviews
