Vibecoding has gotten so good that it feels like magic, yet we still haven’t seen the true potential of AI-powered creative tools for the masses. I wrote about how the next wave will enable joyful creation for everyone. I call them AI Crayons. brendanmulligan.com/writing/magica…

Just got a voicemail and afraid I’m going to get asked to journey to Hades

It is civilization-grade low hanging fruit to make anything you can more beautiful

Twitch missed a chance to be a generational business by having too narrow of a self identity. They saw themselves as the platform for live, scheduled, long session streaming and missed every innovation in the general video category.

my wife asked me to 3D print a pen holder for our 6 year old's drawing stuff do you think this is what she had in mind

@jordanmcgillis @gtmulligan Could automate the intermediate step as well, depending on what app you write in, if you're so inclined.

@gtmulligan I just take pictures of my handwriting with my phone, upload it, and have GPT type it out.

AI has actually liberated me from the laptop in an interesting way. I can now write notes, and even drafts, by hand and have confidence that my cursive will be faithfully transcribed in just seconds.

when you match the art

@h4rmon Nobody ever mess with this man. He has plans.

@BrainEngineer It gets my vote I read it at least once a year

I have just finished the Count of Monte Cristo for the first time and it has a strong claim as the best novel I’ve ever read. What a story, and so beautifully told!

“A very small percentage of the population produces the greatest proportion of the important ideas. This is akin to an idea presented by an English mathematician, Turing, that the human brain is something like a piece of uranium.” “The human brain, if it is below the critical lap and you shoot one neutron into it, additional more would be produced by impact. It leads to an extremely explosive of the issue, increase the size of the uranium. Turing says this is something like ideas in the human brain.” “There are some people if you shoot one idea into the brain, you will get a half an idea out. There are other people who are beyond this point at which they produce two ideas for each idea sent in. Those are the people beyond the knee of the curve.” […]

@Sebbietonin @TFT @playriftbound Credit where credit is due, this originated with League skins and the loot system there.

HOLYYYY AM I THE LAST ONE TO NOTICE THAT THE RIFTBOUND RARITIES MATCH THE TFT UNIT % ICONS?!?!?!?!?! THATS KINDA REALLY CUTE @TFT + @playriftbound !!!!

@jameygannon I recently wrote an essay predicting a new generation of ai software called 'magic crayons' that would make creativity fun and accessible for everyone and this is one of the best examples I've seen yet! brendanmulligan.com/writing/magica…

woahhhh

@noampomsky x.com/BrainEngineer/…

my problem w the popular conception of agency is that most people are trapped not by an inability to act but rather by an inability to conceive of a wider range of things to use their free will on. their actions are constrained by the aperture of their desire

@onirenaud @spawn Yessss this is awesome!

My dream has always been simple: anyone should be able to create any 3D world or game directly in the browser. For the first time, I believe it's becoming possible, that's why I'm joining @spawn to help build the future of the game industry. We believe AI + WebGPU will unlock an era where creation isn't owned by a few engines. Spawn will acquire Three.js Blocks and merge Blocks' advanced WebGPU features into its renderer. We also plan to open source many features this year. Three.js Blocks users will be immediately fully refunded, thank you for believing in my work. My OSS contributions (tools + Three.js) will only get stronger (Spawn already has PRs in Three.js). Utsubo remains strong and will continue operating.

The many legal rules get subsumed by the one real rule: you can do anything on the road, just don’t crash. I was thinking about that one big rule when I saw the motorcycle cut in front of me, and I knew I was fucked.

I crashed a motorcycle in India. The police report says I swerved to avoid a cow. There was no cow. 👇

me and who

I spent three weeks alone in India, including two weeks riding a motorcycle across Rajasthan. It was eventful, to say the least, and I had fun writing about my experience.

@gtmulligan But then you would have kept worrying!

@BrainEngineer It would have been nice to know before you got home!

How did I find out my brother crashed on his motorcycle tour of India? In his travel journal, of course. Give it a read; it's quite the adventure! brendanmulligan.medium.com/motorcycles-an…
