@venturetwins We used to walk around with open computers so the agent could balance a pole on a cart

@thatguybg Love. Who is closest to @MKBHD for software?

I don’t understand rich people who don’t know what to do with their time I have a million things I’d do - write a book on Sprezzatura - write a book on Skeumorphism - write a book on political psychology - get a PhD in computational cognitive science with my old advisor at princeton - release more albums on spotify and perform around the world as monte del monte - create a Warhol-like AI art and music factory that also does software as performance art - run a design/brand/marketing agency - revive the launch house accelerator in SF - raise a giant second fund to invest in phoenixes (founders who failed, got cancelled, were outcasts or misunderstood) - host some founder retreats for said phoenixes - start a neurotech company - build a network of cabins and farmhouses around california for people to go lock in an write books or invent things - run a tech consulting firm and production company for film/TV to ensure entrepreneurship and technology isn’t vilified like it has been for decades - become MKBHD for software starting with launch video reviews - go debate all of the far right and far left political pundits and streamers (comin for you hasan and tucker) - start a grassroots political movement for moderates - write and produce a series of broadway musical comedies about crazy politicians starting with Mamdani - start an AI alignment lab focused on figuring out how to make AI not just not hurt us but love us like a mother loves her child - get absolutely jacked

@mickielleo Yep. Interested to learn more. Any startup sites or founders you can point to?

@korymath recently got an innovation and technology department in our city that collaborates with innovation companies like north forge and manitoba innovates! university of manitoba also has many companies on campus that encourage founding and entrepreneurship. dm me there’s so much more!

i'm looking for great founders and early stage companies across canada. who should I talk to in montreal, toronto, waterloo and east, edmonton, calgary, vancouver and west?

@WriterMcG Nice. Good nuance here. Sacrifice is compelling to me. What didn’t the author or artist do to make this possible.

Taste is not disappearing. Casual taste is disappearing. Detached taste. Vibe taste. Mood-board taste. But embodied taste — the kind connected to authorship, sacrifice, continuity, and consequence — becomes more valuable because it is the one thing AI cannot fake all the way down.

As AI gets better, your creative judgement is loses its value. Here's my case against taste...

@falcothebard Love this. Appreciate your perspective. That drive. That fire. To create. It’s not going anyway soon

I argue FOR taste. But evolution/refinement of it since competence is free now. We have to ask ourselves wether the art needed to exist. This is where we overlap: "need"/stakes is something AI cannot replicate. This is what Rainer Maria Rilke, the Austrian Poet, argued about a century prior. He famously addressed the NEED for writing in his first letter of 'Letters to a Young Poet', stating that writing is only legitimate if it arises from an absolute, internal compulsion, rather than a desire for fame or external validation. That is why I believe the anomalies will thrive in age of AI: the ones who are too weird, too strange to be classified alongside the generic and mediocre. github.com/falcoschaefer9…

@RRRRabbitX Definitely think that generative ai will motivate a new artistic movement of uniquely tangible and human.

@korymath This assumes the audience stays the same. When AI can generate "good" every time, people might start craving exactly what AI can't do. Stranger, riskier, more personal. Supply changes demand.

@ebloch @mweinbach @briandstone Dope. Canada?

@mweinbach @briandstone What Max said 👆

Let’s see how this is

Our live-action / AI film is premiering at Cannes!! Directed by Dustin Yellin, staring Paul Rudd, Chris Rock, and produced by Darren Aronofsky. Very proud to be an executive producer on this ❤️ Premiers next week!

Nice.

This week's #FlowSessions Artist Spotlight is BAFTA-winning filmmaker, Georgina Cammalleri! 🎬 Her trailer for MOLT follows a food delivery rider hijacked by his own order: a lobster. Doc-style vérité meets creature fable. 💡 Flow Tip: "Pre-light" your Character Sheets. Standard advice says to use white backgrounds for references, but that failed for Georgina's underwater aesthetic. Instead, she photographed her reference lobster ("Jeff") under the exact blue studio lighting used in the film. By feeding Flow a "pre-lit" character sheet, the AI didn't have to guess how light hits the shell—it just applied the correct physics and reflections instantly to every shot.

Our value isn't in our taste. It's in the consequences of creation... Full piece: korymathewson.com/the-case-again…

AI will make masterpieces. But it takes no risk doing so. We matter because we are finite. Because we risk something every time we create.

@ekello @0xInk_ This is a fun thread. Following along

@0xInk_ Here is me showing my process yet again, so if you are interested, go ahead and take a look at this one. Remember, I'm also over at YouTube at Why AI Matters.

Thank you @ekello I have a new challenge for you, I need a soundtrack for this short dungeon story, please

We’ve raised $12M to hire the next generation of filmmakers at TrueShort! Led by Keith Rabois at Khosla Ventures and participation from Jeffrey Katzenberg (Dreamworks), Ravi Nandan (A24), Scott Belsky (Behance), General Catalyst, and more Here’s the story 👇

A behind the scenes peek into the making of The Patchwright - thank you for documenting this PJ!

@mickielleo tell me more about what's happening in winnipeg, i'm all ears!

@korymath hit every major city but winnipeg 😔

@soumithchintala Dude. You just posted your secret plan!!

Thinky's secret plan: 1: Increase Human<->AI bandwidth 2: Raise ceiling of human+AI intelligence 3: Help humans continue as main-characters in the new world We are at Step 1. Interaction Models are great real-time collaborative tools for humans. Here's a preview:
