@garyvee Seems like that will also be a critical on-ramp to build trust for anyone offering a digital extension of their services

As we move toward 2050, I think we're going back to 1850. More live events, more real world interaction. As AI grows, so will analog.

@Daniel_in_2025 @mark_k @ChatGPTapp This seems to always missing in RT

@mark_k @ChatGPTapp Hmmm... can it discern among multiple voices?

The new ChatGPT voice mode is starting to roll out to some users in @ChatGPTapp. Listen to the demo below, it's quite impressive. The AI can listen and speak at the same time (bidirectional), making the conversation much more natural!!

All we need now in SEA is to bring the World Series home this October @Mariners - LFG!

The city of Seattle is READY for its first-ever @USMNT FIFA World Cup match. 🇺🇸

Sound UP for how hype these @USMNT fans are in Seattle 🔊

This is neat, but just overhang from limited MCP connectors?

How big is this for improving AAA game studio margins?

@dbasch so cool - agree these are the types of moonshots that get talented people energized toward meaningful breakthroughs. would love to work on something like this.

Midjourney just announced a new type of medical scanner. I did not see this coming at all, I got excited and I started researching everything I could. Here's what I know so far, credit to my amazing team of research agents. No AI slop here, just the bits that caught my eye. - it's a full-body ultrasonic tomography scanner. Similar to MRI, except they claim it takes 60 seconds and it uses sound instead of magnetism or X-rays. The prototype takes 20 minutes though, and sound has a ton of challenges (that's for another post). - the resolution is 0.5mm, respectable but not groundbreaking. It's a new modality, so we'll see what it does well compared to MRI and CT scans. It probably won't be a replacement for either. - they say they are building thousands of them, with the idea of deploying them directly to consumers in their own "Midjourney Spas." This is cool because it bypasses having to deal with the healthcare industry, which is a nightmare. They plan to be doing 1B scans per month by 2031 (good luck to them, that would be insane). - at first they will market it as a clinical wellness service, which is easier for the FDA to accept. Obviously the plan is to advance into diagnostics. In short, this is a moonshot. I'm rooting for them, and I hope other AI companies start similar projects because it's exactly what I called for a few days ago. I'll follow this project closely, stay tuned for more.

@codevsdev big ass paperback books

how did people even learn to code when there was no docs, no YouTube... nothing?

Why has it become so incredibly challenging to get any kind of organic reach on X in the past year or two? Not claiming to be a cultural mover here by any means, but used to be able to engage in conversation with smart people if there was substance. Bots that bad even with an X sub? cc: @nikitabier

Not sure how well that's gonna go over for Max subscriber retention when you get a Fable taste and yank the model until Elon opens more GPU farms @ClaudeDevs

This last few times I've gone into bookstores I've been wondering how soon we'll start to exclusively pick up books from our own, already trusted voices. The OG's publishing before the AI boom. The ones that we can imagine having painstakingly strung their phrases together from their research-tortured mental models, cutting 3x what they put to the pad, and landed the rest into tested arguments in their own voice. Not publishing an overnight 350 page epic by way of an exclusive LLM seminar that punched out the narrative arc. But then again, maybe there will be new forms that those types of AI-collab session seminars could be published more frequently too? Gonna be a strange thought world on how to allocate attention to new ideas.

For the love of the game

most ppl’s refusal to risk humiliation is their original downfall. genius is indistinguishable from delusion / being a moron until the outcome arrives. the funniest part is that when it all works, everyone retrofits the narrative to make it look inevitable. & when it fails, they call it what they were always going to call it. stupid. the line between idiocy & insight is fine as hell.

@hthieblot sponsored full family reunions

You just sold your company for $ 100M. What’s the FIRST thing you buy?

@levie It seems the biggest risk developing right now is how we organize people teams moving forward

Coding is basically the pinnacle of what you could reasonably automate with AI, and yet we still need human engineers to oversee agents for them to be effective. The AI models are trained on an incredible amount of sophisticated code. The users are highly technical and can use the latest tools quickly. The work is “verifiable” because you can test an app. The outcomes are often removed from the quality of the code (you can have sloppy code but the app can still work). And the context for the agent is often already digitized and sitting in the codebase. That’s an incredible amount of benefits that AI coding agents get to work with. Some of those apply to knowledge work, but most don’t in areas where the work needs to be fully reviewed to be useful, or where data isn’t as abundantly digitized. This makes the job for agents in knowledge work more complicated. So if with all of that, engineers still remain in very high demand, the risks are going to be less than what’s perceived for other areas of knowledge work. Agents will let people do far more than they did before, but the people don’t go away.

@antoniogm Reminded me of this: youtube.com/watch?v=BP51Nn…

The modern West was built on a combination of caffeine, nicotine and alcohol. We abandon that cocktail for newfangled nootropics and appetite suppressants at our peril. Culture is downstream of drugs and religion.

@antoniogm subte aint any better

Made the mistake of attempting the NYC subway and now I’m also moving to Argentina.
