It was a huge week of AI and robotics news.

So I summarized everything announced by Nvidia, XPENG, OpenAI, Hume, CMU Robotics, Microsoft, Anthropic, and more.

Here's everything you need to know and how to make sense out of it:

Adobe.. has released a tool that combines Generative Gaussian Splats with a Diffusion layer and it's not all over the internet? WHAT IS GOING ON :D

I had to test this out ofc! Substance 3D viewer, the new 3d viewer just released by Adobe, not only supports viewing of a large, large list of 3d formats, but it also supports generating of 3d models as Gaussian Splats. Combine that with the built-in 3d to image functionality and you basically have at least a few of the steps I've been doing for the last year or so using multiple tools. Exciting stuff!

The new Photoshop Beta also supports the 3D viewer and you can import 3d files directly in photoshop as smart objects linked to the viewer. The elements you prompt in based on your models, can be easily exported to your clipboard without backgrounds making it very easy to use this in your normal image editing workflows.

I have a suspicion that we'll see much more of this in other Adobe tools and I'm very curious to see this used for things like this in more 3d tools than "just" Adobe Neo (which is fantastic btw).

All this stuff wouldn't be possible without ChatGPT

I simply ask it how to set up an email server on Ubuntu

Copy paste most of the code

Then edit some configs

And it just works!

Wouldn't be able to do all this server stuff without AI

My favorite Charlie Munger story:

In 1953, Munger was 29 years old.

Recently divorced. Lost the house. Huge social stigma of divorce back then.

His 8-year-old son, Teddy, was diagnosed with cancer.

The leukemia was incurable.

No medical insurance - Munger paid for all his medical care.

Charlie would visit Teddy in the hospital every day -- and then walk the streets crying.

Teddy died at the age of 9.

Charlie was broke, divorced and just lost his child.

99.9% of people would've turned to alcohol, drugs, or suicide. (And you'd understand why)

Munger never did.

Fast forward to 52 years old, a failed surgery left him blind in one eye with the potential of going fully blind one day.

Charlie was an obsessive learner who read every book he could get his hands on.

When confronted with the possibility of going blind and no longer being able to read he said:

"It's time for me to learn braille!"

The only thing that might be more impressive than his intellect was his actions.

RIP.

Munger on Self-Pity:

"Generally speaking, envy, resentment, revenge, and self-pity are disastrous modes of thought.

Self-pity gets pretty close to paranoia…

Every time you find your drifting into self-pity, I don’t care what the cause, your child could be dying from cancer, self-pity is not going to improve the situation. It’s a ridiculous way to behave.

Life will have terrible blows, horrible blows, unfair blows, it doesn’t matter. Some people recover and others don’t.

There I think the attitude of Epictetus is the best. He thought that every mischance in life was an opportunity to behave well. Every mischance in life was an opportunity to learn something and that your duty was not to be immersed in self-pity, but to utilize the terrible blow in a constructive fashion. That is a very good idea."

[Acquired Podcast @AcquiredFM]

Rest in peace Charlie. We're grateful that we got to spend a (very special) little bit of time with you.

Thank you for the wisdom and the memories. ❤️❤️
