True story. GPT: What is Code Blue? 😅 1 poisonous bite in Bali. 11 days in hospital/ICU. Multi organ failure, respiratory failure & almost heart failure. 1 year ago today @SVHSydney saved my life - ICU is like an F1 team 🙏🏼✨@OpenAI @suno_ai_ #scrubtyphus

I spend a lot of time explaining #esports isn’t just computer versions of traditional sports but this #Rugby #VR Sim in our Paddington facility is next level (7DX doing some great projects in there).

@elonmusk @X Flex with a fix for @julianward X suspended for adding an X to his @X name ✨😅❌🤷🏻‍♂️

@Dilmerv Amazing 🥽✨

I can’t give many details, but I've enough funding to be able to keep doing YouTube full-time for at least 2 more years, without having to really worry about money. This is due to a few sponsorships and other projects I've worked on to make sure XR is my focus.

@ylecun Missing the exponential factor x infinity unknown, across unfolding distribution platforms. It’s not reasonable to predict or understand.

Once AI systems become more intelligent than humans, humans we will *still* be the "apex species." Equating intelligence with dominance is the main fallacy of the whole debate about AI existential risk. It's just wrong. Even *within* the human species It's wrong: it's *not* the smartest among us who dominate the others. More importantly, it's not the smartest among us who *want* to dominate others and who set the agenda. We are subservient to our drives, built into us by evolution. Because evolution made us a social species with a hierarchical social structure, some of us have a drive to dominate, and others not so much. But that drive has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence: chimpanzees, baboons, and wolves have similar drives. Orangutans do not because they are not a social species. And they are pretty darn smart. AI systems will become more intelligent than humans, but they will still be subservient to us. They same way the members of the staff of politicians or business leaders are often smarter than their leader. But their leader still calls the shot, and most staff members have no desire to take their place. We will design AI to be like the supersmart-but-non-dominating staff member. The "apex species" is not the smartest but the one that sets the overall agenda. That will be us.

The year is 2023🤖 I'm paying way more for A.I. Services pm than Streaming, Movies & Cinema combined💡A very significant line to cross 🧠 I had to double take when it clicked @Scobleizer #aifuture @OpenAI @runwayml @sama @elonmusk @AnthropicAI @DavidSacks @PeterDiamandis

Oct 10 release would seem logical 🥽🤞🏼

Really interesting stat. The generations of esports players cycle through much faster than traditional sports. Provides a lot of opportunities for changing a regions trajectory (if the development pathways are on point).

@Lunayian Put a decent headstrap on the thing, it’s 2023

I'm declaring the Meta Quest engineering sample unboxing a yearly event 😂

In 4 minutes, Kurt Vonnegut explained stories better than anyone I’ve ever heard. “The shape of the curve is what matters. Not their origins.” He plots stories on 2 axes: X: Time Y: Good fortune / ill fortune He goes on to say, “Somebody gets into trouble, then gets out of it again. People love that story. They never get tired of it.” Point 1: Stories have defined patterns. In Joseph Campbell’s Hero of a Thousand Faces, he makes the case for the Hero’s Journey. Since then, it’s become the most famous storytelling structure in the world. Vonnegut argued stories could be divided into 8 shapes. Each story, he said, fit one of the 8. Point 2: Vonnegut says, “Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them — so the reader may see what they're made of.” To see who your characters really are, you have to make them suffer. Only then does your audience have someone worth cheering for. Point 3: End on a high note. Vonnegut says, “It’s not accidental that the line ends up higher than where it began. This is encouraging to readers.” The way a story makes people feel when they finish is how they remember it. It’s called recency bias. Lift people up and they will love you. *** “There are people. There are stories. The people think they shape the stories, but the reverse is often closer to the truth.” I wrote this with @RobbieCrab. Follow him for lessons on storytelling + fundraising. And I talk about creative storytelling. Follow @nathanbaugh27 for more like that.

Good read on #AppleVisionPro 🥽✨

@Dilmerv How is the headset overall? Do you have a recent comparison piece? 🥽🧪

I got Pico 4 undergoing testing with the latest OS 5.7.1 onboard. This update has really improved hand tracking, showing significant improvements over the previous 5.6.0 version – it's quite the leap forward. Now, if you're pondering the eternal Pico 4 Vs. Quest 2 debate, you'll want to get into the nitty-gritty of their specific features. One key aspect to dive into is hand tracking. It's worth mentioning that comparing Quest 2 and Pico 4 might be a tad uneven, mainly due to the fact that Meta has gone through multiple iterations of hand tracking. However, as things stand today, you can actually put them head-to-head and see which one truly nails it in terms of accurate hand tracking. ✅ PICO 4 with XRI also is now working as well. If you're curious about PICO 4 with Unity XRI et me know, and I can do a video about it.
