Three words: Markerless Motion Capture 🤯 This is a 9-person #mocap test, all WITHOUT suits! Happy I have the chance to experiment with tools like Move.ai. I'm even more excited to see how these tools can be used to democratize 3D content creation.

Powerful new Harvard Business Review study. "AI does not reduce work. It intensifies it. " A 8-month field study at a US tech company with about 200 employees found that AI use did not shrink work, it intensified it, and made employees busier. Task expansion happened because AI filled in gaps in knowledge, so people started doing work that used to belong to other roles or would have been outsourced or deferred. That shift created extra coordination and review work for specialists, including fixing AI-assisted drafts and coaching colleagues whose work was only partly correct or complete. Boundaries blurred because starting became as easy as writing a prompt, so work slipped into lunch, meetings, and the minutes right before stepping away. Multitasking rose because people ran multiple AI threads at once and kept checking outputs, which increased attention switching and mental load. Over time, this faster rhythm raised expectations for speed through what became visible and normal, even without explicit pressure from managers.

“New York, where are you feeling?” Spent the evening at the NYC opening of #SoulPaint. It’s a beautiful, mind-opening experience. Inside a #VR headset, you map your emotions onto your body. If you’re in NYC stop by the David Rubenstein Atrium at the Lincoln Center to try it.

Ads are coming to AI. But not to Claude. Keep thinking.

My favorite way of using cursor is asking it to deconstruct things i want to understand, show it to me step by step rather than one shot generations of things i dont understand. You can build your own interactive explainers.
