Don't take AI too seriously!

The stakes are high! I expect lots of shipping and little to no death.

[Marc Lou @marclou]

I made a game where you have to ship a startup every 30 days.

If you miss the deadline, you die ☠️

It's called https://t.co/dr6UTvtYcO.

It uses the same game mechanics that kept me addicted to World of Warcraft: You start as a Noob Pirate, and you complete quests to level up, like buying your 1st domain or getting 1,000 visitors.

There's Discord for the social part, but you need to keep shipping to stay in (otherwise, everybody can see you walked the plank).

Since 2022, I've launched one startup per month, and it has changed my life. I hope this game will change yours too.

@elonmusk hopefully just 3 weeks to flatten the curve

[Zackery Ward @ZackerySWard]

Just a heads-up. If gemini omni refuses your video request, it won't tell you. It will just say something like "I couldn't do that because I'm getting a lot of requests right now. Please try again later." and it has nothing to do with capacity!

@Conor_D_Dart @OpenAI THey are just completely different models. Sometimes you just gotta switch between them to get the right output.

@maks6361 My only follower is my mom but if I were in that position I’d probably spend a grand promoting that post

@407foodie @GeminiApp what was it?

[Zackery Ward @ZackerySWard]

@jumperz Do you trust benchmaxxing and CursorBench scores though?

@iruletheworldmo I'll give you $50 for a sponsored ad for my habit tracker

[Zackery Ward @ZackerySWard]

@matteo_spada this actually makes sense. You can send flight details to your wife/friends so they know you're still over the atlantic and can't be contacted.

@karpathy they flipped the entire script with 1 hire

[Zackery Ward @ZackerySWard]

anthropic just flipped the entire market sentiment in one move. IMPRESSIVE

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

@Daedalus_Sy @yacineMTB whatever you do, do not get a manny!

If they can’t figure out how to use tools by 3.2 I’m going to lose my mind

Gemini 3.2 Flash - Capitalizing on DeepMind's clever distillation techniques...

Rumors are that benchmarks show it's hitting 92% of GPT 5.5's performance on coding and reasoning tasks while being 15-20x cheaper on inference costs. The latency improvements are insane - sub-200ms for most queries.

Google's distillation + sparsity techniques are paying off massively. They've essentially compressed a frontier model into a flash variant without the usual quality cliff.

@davepoon turns out it was GIT for one project. removed it and problem solved.

[Zackery Ward @ZackerySWard]

@davepoon happening to me now. how did you fix it?

[Zackery Ward @ZackerySWard]

@iamAnish @PlanetScale just use sqlite on cloudflare d1--free dollars every month

@damnGruz would be hilarious to show a huge outbreak on the map customized to the viewer's IP

[Zackery Ward @ZackerySWard]

@drianlarde_main Lost cause. Manila will never have the beauty or inviting charm of a Bali/Da Nang/Phuket. Sairgao seems to be heading in the right direction. It's too bad Panglao never had that appeal

@recrsn @mauerbac @Cloudflare but R2D1 is the OG
