Let's try something! For the next 48 hours reply with a name — letter — word and I'll make a logo for you ✨

Apple released a new Magic Mouse with USB-C

Amazing graphical representation of a neural net, never seen anything like it.

Anthropic computer use API + iPhone mirroring to a Mac = AI controlled phone. Watch Claude control my phone and successfully look up stats in my Sports app. I even got it to play a game in the Chess app against another AI - pretty crazy. And this is the worst it’ll ever be.

I wasn’t ready for the reveal at the end… 👀

Ten years ago.

@c_valenzuelab this is fantastic.

Introducing 1stAI Machine, the first physical device for video editing generated by AI. "we anticipate that the quality of videos will soon match that of photos. At that point, anyone will be able to create movies without the need for a camera, lights, or actors; they will simply interact with the AIs. A tool like 1stAI Machine anticipates that moment by exploring tangible interfaces that enhance creativity." A creation of SpecialGuestX for 1stAveMachine Powered by Runway

@tvaziri wow. that's the first time I've heard a feature director say the word "experiential". it's a sad day for film marketing.

This is a terrible featurette. Sony should be ashamed of themselves. "Everything is real." "practical" "honest" "No green screens. No projectors. That’s just how Neill Blomkamp rolls." Whatever. youtu.be/mzRZQwR0LEE?si…

@wblut @zero________one holy cr@p! that is fantastic.

@wblut @zero________one This is great, do you prime chatGPT4 with any instructions for the critique and the format? (separate categories - complexity/detail, color palette, etc.)

@hertz - addming a $1,000+ fee to change my one-way rental drop-off from SNA to LAX, and 24 hours Earlier? that is more than what i paid for the entire rental. 😖

@ChristianSelig @Freerunnering omg!

In the new Pixel Pals update, to get PixelQuest working as a full iOS 17 home screen game, I had to code in actual procedural chunk loading for the map because loading the full massive map was crashing 💀 Plus there's full boundary detection haha

@diveshnaidoo @Simulon this looks great. can we chat? I'm working on weird things🤫

Excited to share a new @Simulon workflow video, showcasing real-time environment meshing, multi-surface object placement and persistent AR - allowing you to save & revisit 3D scenes in the real world 🌐✨ Beginning with a cloud-rendered sequence, we then break down the process.

Just wait until you see what’s inside… 🐘 📹: @DarrenAronofsky
