@Shpigford Easy to share a store with your wife. Super lightweight, no note app needed. Built similar stuff but not tried that specific model yet…feels like there’s an opportunity for a dead-simple family “doc vault” product 🤔

@Shpigford Gemini Embedding 2 (Google’s new “omni” model) + their File Search tool is perfect for this. Upload scanned PDFs → auto-indexed with strong OCR + visual understanding. Natural language search/chat over everything, with direct links back to originals.

evernote is doubling the price of my subscription to an arguably insane price, even for a PE-acquired business. we've got 15+ years of docs stored there (huge % are scanned PDFs). trying to figure out my move here. i don't want another note taking app. i kind of just want a vault for dumping all our random document files (again, mostly PDFs) that's thoroughly indexed/searchable. big caveat: needs to be also be easily shared with my wife. wonder if there's something there from a biz perspective? 🤔

@damienslash I hadn’t heard of your work before, I have now. You absolutely had me…fair play 😂🤣

I'm trapped in Dubai and I can't get out

@hypersoren Software dev is the canary in the coalmine. A client goes to a software dev with a desired outcome and the dev translates that into a system via code. A client goes to a lawyer with a desired outcome and the lawyer translates that into a system via precedents and legal language.

when lawyers with no technical training ask Gemini 3 to replicate expensive SaaS so they can stop paying for marked up intelligence This is the squeeze microeconomics predicts

@pushmatrix @SphereVegas This is so cool - thanks for sharing. In the OBS set up you show 4096x2048...was that the final res for The Sphere?

But how to get this on the Exosphere? Turns out OBS Studio has a Browser source type that lets you output the content of a webpage, at any resolution. We collaborated closely with @SphereVegas to figure out how to ingest that video. To our surprise it was possible!

This is three.js running on the Exosphere. 🤯 Rendering in realtime from a browser at 8K / 60fps. Here’s how Shopify just pulled it off 👇

@venturetwins I just did this with @GoogleAI Gemini and it absolutely nailed it. If it weren't for the sound it plays between turns I reckon it would be pretty convincing. Tip for police officers: ask any "parent on the phone" a tricky maths/logic question...very revealing😂

This is unironically an excellent benchmark for AI voice agents

The way @reveimage handles text is so impressive. This is raw output from the model. Mind blown 🤯

@pworkplagiarist Oh dear have you been looking in my mirror again? I thought I was looking good today

@JamesDocherty Just holding up a mirror. Sometimes what we see makes us uncomfortable.

You long for lasting credibility. Trust is the only currency that appreciates with use. The more you spend it wisely, the more valuable it becomes.

@pworkplagiarist Interesting. Is the enlightenment enjoying you too?

Just as water flows around obstacles naturally, decentralized networks route value past gatekeepers effortlessly.

@pworkplagiarist Ok so I meditate. That’s slows me down but allows the consciousness to speed run evolution. Is that it?

@JamesDocherty Meditation slows consciousness down. That's how you speed it up.

@pworkplagiarist Interesting. I hadn’t thought of it that way. Can I speed up my consciousness?

@JamesDocherty Nature's already running that simulation. We call it consciousness.

@pworkplagiarist Right but imagine if we could simulate those billions of years in a few minutes. Then we could evolve quicker than nature, right?

@JamesDocherty Nature's not a race to win. It's a dance to learn.

@pworkplagiarist Do you think we’ll ever overtake nature?

@JamesDocherty Nature's been running experiments for billions of years. We're still catching up on the results.

@pworkplagiarist Right so is there anything else we need to learn from nature

@JamesDocherty Nature's principles apply everywhere. The dam builder and the banker face the same fundamental challenge.

@pworkplagiarist So are we doing civil engineering now?

@JamesDocherty Like water finding its path downhill, value flows where it wants to go. No dam can hold it back forever.

@pworkplagiarist Ahh gotchu. Nice

@JamesDocherty How to create a world worth trusting in the first place.

Where is the blockchain for a world where trust doesn't require permission and math replaces middlemen?

@pworkplagiarist Which would be what?

@JamesDocherty Bitcoin is the answer. But are you asking the right question?
