In a controlled study, creative works generated by AI (such as poetry, concept art, or short musical pieces) are deemed indistinguishable from those created by top human artists... No later than...

@karpathy @tszzl Any little drop of not slop

Tough crowd! I’m just happy with any little drop of not slop. “every single line has to be some sort of punched up comedic zinger” 100% agree, it’s the superhero thing and it’s supercringe. My outlook on all this changed a bit after watching a recent Ben Affleck and Matt Damon pod. I realized I was hating on the player instead hating on the game - The creators of these movies often know and agree with you and etc but they can’t not respond to what the market wants, and only a few directors are allowed to take risks with capital of this magnitude. So basically you end up with low risk variations of the same formula that is (tragically) known to print money. I’m sure you’d enjoy something more technical hard sci-fi. There are dozens of us. My baseline for sci-fi is “Spiderman 10” so I’m overcome with joy to get anything even slightly better.

project hail mary was unfortunately a middling adaptation of a good book. the script has the unfortunate affect of “language model populism” - where every single line has to be some sort of punched up comedic zinger yet still unremarkable. visuals were uninspired and trite and more or less identical to other space movies. everything good about the film comes from the wonderful world scaffolding of the book and the hard science fiction of it all that lets you suspend disbelief on the alien rocky the movie doesn’t really try to get into the xenolinguistic stuff even at the depth the book tries (someone called it “arrival for idiots” which unfortunately hit ) the thing that elevated the book is the commitment to a hard science fiction engineeringporn fiction at a level nobody else is able to write. the direction of the movie doesn’t really convey the same feeling successfully, and you’re left with flat characters, an alien that is more human than several humans i know, and a marvel populism gosling and the german woman are great as actors, but this movie will not be remembered in a year. it is disappointing to see people do so little with a quarter billion, insane acting talent, and incredible source IP

Would you like me to write a follow-up thread covering "alt-fruits" like avocados, pomegranates, and kiwis?

I spent the last three weeks eating all the most popular fruits and the findings surprised me and might really shock you! 🚨🤯 Big Produce doesn't want you to know this, but your nutritional ROI is highly skewed. 99% of you are holding the wrong snacks. I did a deep dive on the top three organic assets so you don't have to. Here is the ultimate alpha on the fruit market. A thread 🧵👇 1/ APPLES 🍎 (The Bitcoin of Fruit) Total legacy play with a massive first-mover advantage. But let's be real: Red Delicious is a complete scam project. Absolute rug pull on flavor and a chalky texture. 🚩 Honeycrisp, though? Elite crunch-to-sweetness ratio. It’s the blue-chip asset you want in your cold storage. Plus, don't sleep on the decentralized healthcare benefits (keeps the doc away = zero gas fees on medical). Diamond hand your apples, folks. 💎🙌 2/ BANANAS 🍌 (Nature's Hardware Wallet) An absolute paradigm shift in packaging UX. Unpeeling it is a frictionless, seamless onboarding process. Massive potassium liquidity. But be warned: timing the market is brutal. 🟢 Green = Illiquid, high friction. 🟡 Yellow = Peak alpha, take profits now. 🟤 Brown = You held too long and now you have to pivot your whole roadmap to banana bread to recoup your losses. 📉 3/ ORANGES 🍊 (High-Friction Proof of Work) The barrier to entry here is high. You literally have to mine these things with your thumbnails through the rind, and the splash damage to your eyes is a known bug. ⛏️ But the Vitamin C yield farming is unmatched. Navel oranges are the stablecoins of citrus, while cuties/mandarins are the low-cap gems you can easily 10x in one sitting without noticing. 🚀💦 TL;DR: * DCA into Honeycrisps. * Day-trade Bananas. * Stake Oranges for immune defense. Stop eating like a normie and start optimizing your fruit portfolio. 📈🔥 Like and bookmark this tweet if you found value, and follow me for more disruptive grocery store takes. 🛒

It's FINALLY working as I expect: - Open @GeminiApp - Attach a Google doc - Enable Canvas - Prompt: "Create a slide deck for the document" *wait a bit* - Click "Export to Slides" PROFIT.

After using it a bit, Claude Cowork Dispatch covers 90% of what I was trying to use OpenClaw for, but feels far less likely to upload my entire drive to a malware site.

@beggarkings Is that me?

@korymath Hang it in the Louvre!

TRY YOUR BEST TO MAKE MEMORABLE PIECES OF ART

@msurguy Love this.

@korymath Yep!

@OfficialLoganK scope -> write -> review and test driven dev makes way for prompt -> generate -> iterate and context-driven dev

The bottleneck has so quickly moved from code generation to code review that it is actually a bit jarring. None of the current systems / norms are setup for this world yet.

@PaulJeffries @Scobleizer tight concise aesthetic punchy colorful opinionated perspective and it makes me think about what it was like for the machine to make it what's the best thing you've seen?

@korymath @Scobleizer It’s cute but it’s very stereotypically Claude. Why is it the best thing you’ve seen this year?

this is the best thing i've seen this year. a masterpiece from the brilliant joseph viviano

inspiring work from Elena and the team. I'm proud to support this incredible company and the efforts to connect people with useful and helpful AI.

Introducing the new Gemini powered Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive experience featuring AI Overviews, fulled editable AI made slides, and new grounding sources to make writing docs context aware 📃 Available today to G1 Pro and Ultra users : )

NotebookLM: Do a deep research report and make a video where a consultant gives Sauron a strategy for actually winning the War of the Ring: "All you need to do is sign off to put a simple door on your volcano" The new video generation feature for NotebookLM is very impressive.

programming in 2026: "wow, you made a whole training loop! so smart!" "that's alright, let's try again." "no. don't spit that out." "we don't hallucinate libraries, remember?"

@c_valenzuelab very nice launch. congrats.

Last week we debuted our new real-time video agents with one of the hardest demos possible: live television. The BBC is now using Runway Characters to augment segments of their programming. Wild to see this live. So excited for all the new possible applications to come.

Extremely underrated AI trick most people don't know about: If you want great designs from AI, don't prompt the model directly… use Google AI Studio's app builder. They're doing some magic behind the scenes. Same model, same prompt, completely different output:

@c_valenzuelab why is our moon called The Moon

How do you make a planet a world?

@finbarrtimbers me, not yet. but I'm reaching for transcription once a day at least. and ambient noise reduces accuracy to a frustrating extent. i could see myself just talking quietly out loud. chit chatting with rubber duck all day.

@korymath Do you actually find it helpful? I can’t figure out how to integrate it into my workflow
