Remember that Sora was once considered “too dangerous for general release,” and that Mythos will one day (in the not so distant future) be considered an extremely dumb model.

@zaygranet No more apologizing for product with forward deployed solution architects. 😉 Really though, amazing stuff as always.

Norm is claude code for voice ai. Norm is why we built Bland. Prompt -> full voice agent in 30s. Norm can test, iterate, and deliver to production.

@sandislonjsak @parmita Originally a John McCain quote.

“Rest enough for the individual man, too much and too soon, and we call it death. But for man, no rest and no ending. He must go on, conquest beyond conquest. First this little planet and all its winds and ways, and then all the laws of mind and matter that restrain him. Then the planets about him, and, at last, out across immensities to the stars. And when he has conquered all the deep space, and all the mysteries of time, still he will be beginning.” – H.G. Wells, The Shape of Things to Come

@c_valenzuelab There’s a standard called C2PA that I’m surprised you haven’t heard about. I think it looks like a strong standard for exactly this. spec.c2pa.org/specifications…

I strongly suggest we start thinking deeply about how to watermark real, camera-captured imagery instead of watermarking generated content.

@malikules I know the guy behind this. He literally just drove around to farms in the Midwest, knocked on their door, and asked to film their cows with a GoPro for data collection.

there are many low-hanging billion-dollar opportunities in biotech, and they're all in animal health

A short story about decisions

Holy moly... Nano Banana Pro is wild "Create an image at 31.7785° N, 35.2296° E, April 3, 33 CE, 15:00 hours."

@DI313_ It was a temporary suspension and they’re already back flying again. They took immense safety precautions and sought FAA approval. No one was hurt. The FAA is by far the strictest governing body of airspace in the world.

‼️They attempted a mid-air plane swap-both lost their licenses as a result. Two Red Bull pilots, Luke Aikins and Andy Farrington, tried to swap planes mid-air at 14,000 feet. Aikins landed safely, but Farrington’s plane spiraled out of control and crashed. Both survived unharmed, but the FAA called the stunt “careless and reckless” and revoked their licenses.

“The names of the entities that have power to constrain us change with time. Convention and authority are replaced by infirmity.” – Alfonsa, All The Pretty Horses

And so it stays just on the edge of vision,    A small unfocused blur, a standing chill    That slows each impulse down to indecision.    Most things may never happen: this one will. – Aubade, by Philip Larkin

“No creature can learn that which his heart had no shape to hold.” – Cormac McCarthy from “All The Pretty Horses”

“Every dumb thing I ever done in my life there was a decision I made before that got me into it. It was never the dumb thing. It was always some choice I’d made before it.” – Lacey Rawlins, All The Pretty Horses

“Nostalgia in reverse, the longing for yet another strange land, grew especially strong in spring.” – Vladimir Nabokov

"Plenty of exotic theories are proposed to account for the remarkable rate of mental health disorders now reported in many nations. But it seems to me that the erosion of community and our separation from others is sufficient to account for much of it.” [2/2] – George Monbiot

“The story of splendid isolation is so pervasive that when people suffer the psychological consequences of their disconnection from society, they might struggle to identify the cause." [1/2]
