@micsolana The advancements in OLED, brightness of MiniLEDs, and things like HDR10 or Dolby Vision mean that creators can begin playing with different environments and styles. It looks great (and visible) once you upgrade. Many will hate it now and won't notice it once you rewatch it.

I hate this trend in filmmaking so much. your audience not being able to see what’s in your shot does not make you an edgy artist. it makes you bad at your only job.

🚨 PSA: a scammer has taken control of the samouraiwallet.com domain. Do not be fooled into downloading malicious software.
How ironic that the FBI seizes control over the domain only for it to fall into the hands of actual criminals.

There’s a lot of terrible stuff going on in the world, same as it ever was…
But amidst all that, there are so many reasons for joy and gratitude.
Expecting our second child is one of them.

Australian tech entrepreneur Paul Conyngham explains how he used ChatGPT/AlphaFold (spent $3,000 with no biology background) to create a custom MRNA vaccine to treat his dog’s cancer tumors. Unreal.

this is actually insane > be tech guy in australia > adopt cancer riddled rescue dog, months to live > not_going_to_give_you_up.mp4 > pay $3,000 to sequence her tumor DNA > feed it to ChatGPT and AlphaFold > zero background in biology > identify mutated proteins, match them to drug targets > design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine from scratch > genomics professor is “gobsmacked” that some puppy lover did this on his own > need ethics approval to administer it > red tape takes longer than designing the vaccine > 3 months, finally approved > drive 10 hours to get rosie her first injection > tumor halves > coat gets glossy again > dog is alive and happy > professor: “if we can do this for a dog, why aren’t we rolling this out to humans?” one man with a chatbot, and $3,000 just outperformed the entire pharmaceutical discovery pipeline. we are going to cure so many diseases. I dont think people realize how good things are going to get

NATO is testing live cockroaches as AI-powered spy drones.
Incredible AI engineering, but also something I kinda wish I hadn't learned about:
> Swarm Bio-tactics wired real cockroaches with electronic backpacks containing AI hardware, radios, cameras, and microphones.
> Cockroaches are steered by sending electrical signals directly into the insect's nervous system
> They can crawl through rubble, tunnels, and spaces where drones can't fly, and troops shouldn't go, transmitting data back the entire time.
> Within one year, they went from concept to field-validated systems with paying NATO customers, including the German military.
The qualities that make them useful for military recon (small, silent, nearly undetectable) are exactly what make them creepy.
...International laws weren't written with cyborg insects in mind.

🌻 Introducing Concierge - an open research project by Prem
We believe the most valuable workflows for AI agents haven't been invented yet, because they'll come from people whose problems look nothing like the ones these tools have been designed around. Concierge is our bet on that, and an invitation for everyone to prove it.
Concierge is an always-on AI assistant powered by open-source models that learns how you work, compounds memory over time, automates your recurring tasks on a schedule, and keeps your data entirely private with isolated deployments for every user.
What happens when literally anyone can co-create their own personal AI?

In der USA sind die meisten Menschen enthusiastisch.
In Europa werde ich beschimpft, Leute schreien REGULIERUNG und VERANTWORTUNG.
Und wenn ich wirklich hier eine Firma baue dann kann ich mich mit Themen wie Investitionsschutzgesetz, Mitarbeiterbeteiligung und lähmenden Arbeitsregulierungen abkämpfen. Bei OAI arbeiten die meisten Leute 6-7 Tage die Woche und werden depentsprechend bezahlt. Be uns ist das illegal.

@bc1nuno @bluewalletio This is really useful. The default shouldn't be to blindly send a transaction or having to use another service to get accurate fee information. It should be in one interface and surfaced when you need it.
