@jacksondecampos Fun idea. Seeing the thinking made it all the more frustrating that it ended up taking 5 hints 😅

Introducing @variantui
Enter an idea and get endless (beautiful) designs as you scroll
No canvas, no skills or MCP, no constant prompting
Reply if you'd like 200 free designs to give it try

@sophemera @modelominority ah just seeing this, ty for the ping sophie! we're planning to do one more studio hang in dec, will send you both the invite when we have the date
English
@tuhin we're planning to do one more this year in december, will send you the invite when we have a date!

@MatthewWSiu Would love to swing by and say hi on one of the open studio nights!

oakwood studio might just be the coolest corner of creativity in SF
Matthew Siu@MatthewWSiu
in the studio

@songyou @donaldjewkes feel like this format (process + final) would be popular as shorts

@sjwhitmore @jasonyuan so much of doing the thing is just dealing with the emotional parts that come up during the process
English
@jasonyuan 💯 turns out most people need help figuring out what to do more often than actually doing it
English
I have a theory which is that — if you enter with the goal of “reinvent computing” you will inevitably end up doing a conversational journaling emotional support thing
The pre LLM equivalent would be a “tools for thought” networked note taking product

interpolating image embeddings across arbitrary numbers of vertices. using polygons as lenses through n-dimensional latent space.
English
@hturan haha yeah, perhaps you'd get the equivalent of brown when mixing too many colors but for image space
like a bunch of blurry photos you shot by accident
English
@MatthewWSiu yeah! i’ve got it working multiple times-dimensionally (interpolating across n points) and multimodally too. i haven’t tried it, but part of me thinks mixing too many sources would be like mixing too many pigments and you’d end up with nothing. curious to see!

It’s my birthday! Help me celebrate by sharing a song you love and I’ll put them all in a playlist to listen to later. Ideally it’s one that if it came on at a random party you would freak out and go, “wait you know this song?!” and instantly befriend whoever put it on

@tylerangert imagining shared knobs on a synth that both human and computer can tweak as needed
English
I’d like to see more design tools that are more like autotune than autocomplete or completely-make-for-me. Like I much more need something that can fill in the blanks quickly as I move along and nudge things in the right direction or clean it up

@_joelsimon congratulations Joel! Excited to see what you all bring to life

Excited to share that I'm joining Ken's lab at Lila to research open-endedness and explore the future of human/agent collaborative systems for science, creativity and discovery! 🧪🤖
Kenneth Stanley@kenneth0stanley
Important announcement (with job opportunities!): I’m thrilled to share that I just joined @LilaSciences as SVP of Open-Endedness! Lila is a new name in the AI space, but one you will be hearing a lot from. Their unique mission to pursue Scientific Superintelligence could not align better with my interest in open-ended creativity. Lila is about the entire scientific enterprise, not just a single constrained domain like drug discovery. And of course, the history of scientific progress is an unmistakable precedent for open-ended discovery and Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned. For AI itself to join this epic quest beyond just a supporting role, to create new magic that the human mind has yet to imagine, we will need to take creativity seriously well beyond the conventional pillars of more data, more compute, and more time on inference. That may be where the frontier labs currently are, but if you know about open-endedness, you know that open-ended creativity is not about taking a test and getting a good score. Lila understands the difference and is willing to invest to help me create the best open-endedness team in the world (as part of their overall AI effort) to make it happen. So I want to invite you, if you think this opportunity sounds as exciting as I do, to reach out if you’re interested in joining my team. I’m looking for a diverse range of expertise: pre-training, fine-tuning, RLHF, distillation, mechanistic interpretability, and yes - quality diversity techniques! We’re going to do things on my team that nobody else is doing. This will not be the usual roadmap. Compensation will be industry competitive and our team will be based in San Francisco with a hybrid work schedule. 1/n

A while back, I started making a map of meaningful places that I've been to and that I'd like to see
Each spot comes with a note about why it made it on the map
