Apartment's just concrete right now, threw Pinterest moodboards into Nano Banana 2 via @fal to visualize it furnished. Quicker than Pro, cleaner output, nearly half the cost.

→ #Midjourney v8 → Prompt --c 64 --s 1000 --w 12 --raw --p

Testing @midjourney v8 to create cinematic stills for a concept short film adaptation of The Last Question by Isaac Asimov. One of my favourite pieces of sci-fi ever written. Part 1: May 2061. Two exhausted technicians sit drinking whiskey in the belly of Multivac, a computer so vast its corridors stretch for miles underground, cables thick as tree trunks feeding into walls of blinking relay panels. One of them, half-drunk, asks the machine if the death of the universe can be reversed. The machine goes silent. Imagery inspired by Denis Villeneuve - Dune, Blade Runner 2049. That thing he does where architecture becomes a character and silence hits harder than dialogue. upscaled in nb2 animation in @Kling_ai o3

@konnydev mistral 💀

America has Claude China has DeepSeek Europe has … ?

@andyorsow ye! also, the stand doubles as a blunt object for when the render crashes

Does anyone else want a monitor stand that's just a chunk of rock?

@a16z the bar was don't make me read docs for 7 hours, don't break constantly, and maybe write your own integrations. depressing how rare that combo is

Why did OpenClaw take off? “I found it relatively easy to set up and get going… I didn’t have to spend seven hours just to do the Telegram use case and start playing with it.” "I just think it's sort of that, like just that level of accessibility to users who are maybe not living in a codebase day-to-day." "The other agent frameworks were pretty difficult to use, incredibly flaky, [I] didn't really want to spend a lot of time debugging someone else's stuff." "There's another major part of this that it can extend itself." "It's the first agent I've seen where I can say, 'I want integration with something.' And it's like: 'well, I've never seen this before, there's no package for that, but let me try to put something together.'" "There is definitely a long-running nature of it. You leave it running for a night and you're like, keep working on this until you finish." @stuffyokodraws @appenz on the AI + a16z Podcast

@gen_ericai 🔥 MJ?

Back with 8!

@VraserX this is big, feels like part of Elons grand master plan. Tesla makes the storage, xAI uses it to train models, SpaceX needs reliable power at Starbase

The US just confirmed Tesla and LG Energy Solution’s $4.3B battery deal. This one matters because it is not about cars first. It is about Megapack scale energy storage and domestic LFP supply. Does stationary storage quietly become the most important battery market, yes or no?

@higgsfield Sedan’s 2.0 👀

We're about to drop something game-changing today... 🤫 Can you guess what it is? 👀

@CodeByNZ 😅

@VictorInFocus That’s a serious prompt 😭 bro is not playing at all

“it doesn’t work, make it work” 😂 what’s your favorite prompt of all time ?

@trikcode hopes & dreams

USA has ChatGPT USA has Grok USA has Claude USA has Gemini USA has Llama USA has Copilot China has DeepSeek China has Qwen China has Ernie China has GLM China has Kimi What does your country have?

@andrewchen AIs removed the friction that used to stop bad ideas early. Now we're all three hours deep before realizing this one didn't need to exist

AI is supposed to save me time, but now I find myself building stuff all evening and weekend and it's actually increasing my time in front of the computer WTF

@i2cjak the people guarding ideas usually have like two. you're operating from overflow

I noticed some people criticize my open sharing of ideas approach. I should shield those ideas for myself and not let others take my ideas. Dude, I do not have time for all of my ideas. My brain is a continuous fountain of ideas. Without this avenue to share, many ideas never got heard at all. I don't have time for all of my ideas. If you have time for it and love it and want to make it real. I invite you to do that. You don't even have to pay me for it because you invested the time to make it real. And I would be elated just to see my idea be made real by someone. Random spit balling of ideas and bouncing balls against the wall with other people has a lot of value.

@stupidtechtakes @TheBobPony right!!

thats gonna be even worse (@thebobpony)

there are some banger quotes in here

@PromptLLM I guess waving the white flag beats endless pursuit of a failing bet, hopefully they've built up tons of multimodal data with horizon but I don't thats worth $80b

no one else find it baffling a company can just throw $80bn at a completely failed project and then continue like nothing happened?

@thisiskp_ I'm as pro AI as it gets, but this makes me uneasy, even though I totally see the emotional pull and why people need it

Earlier this week, got introduced to Pantio. It’s a digital legacy platform that lets you preserve someone's voice and personality using AI.  The goal is to help people: - Clone a parent's or grandparent's voice from old recordings, voicemails, videos - Create an AI persona that talks and responds like them .. same humor, same way of giving advice  - Let kids and grandkids "meet" relatives they never got to know  - Say the things they never got to say  You upload whatever you have — voice messages, family videos, even phone recordings — and Pantio builds a persona that sounds like them and feels like them. FWIW I believe it’s definitely not for everyone and the founders are upfront about it but for those who want to still connect to the familiar version of their lost loved ones.. it can be magical ⚡️

@trikcode this only makes sense if you think learning only = understanding theory upfront. a lot of beginners learn by doing, breaking, fixing → oh THAT'S why. vibe coding isn't the enemy of learning, for some it's literally the first step

The dangerous thing about vibe coding is you stop learning. You don't know why it works. You just know it works. Until it doesn't. And then you're Googling concepts you should've learned three years ago.

@DataChaz does this apply to AI too?

@a66mike99 @PaulSolt yea, will have to see what life's like next month when the double rate limits end 😢

@VictorInFocus @PaulSolt Plus high limits!

GPT-5.4 vs. Opus 4.6 Which is writing most of your code?
