Anyone need a 3D print plan for StandBy? (marisa.lu/EmotoWebsite/ throw back to 2018 with the @lucas0choa & @GautamBose18)

@eddiejiao_obj @jasonyuan @cmmnknwledge Yessssss, I have all the iPads and I love you for prioritizing pencil ❤️😍❤️😍❤️

At @cmmnknwledge, we’ve been building a new stylus-first tool for doing work on your iPad. We’re looking for beta testers who’d like to try this out and shape this experience with us. Comment below to get in touch!

@porchbananas @cartesia DM’ed!

@lumar_isa my team @cartesia is hiring! we're a voice and AI research lab in potrero hill. i'd love to chat :)

Yesss, if anyone is looking to hire or contract, I have a friend (currently SF based) and can corroborate her design talent! (She is additionally trilingual with brand/strategic marketing experience in both western and eastern markets looking for her next chapter)

I'm hiring people who care about people to build social AI that helps people care about people! if you're an engineer/researcher/multi-hyphenate excited about some or all of the following: - social agents and social memory - consumer - s2e3 of rick and morty - collective intelligence - gossip girl - craft - alexander mcqueen spring/summer 1995 - information markets and behavioral economics - pop culture - having a lot of fun and moving super fast with people you care a lot about ... please reach out! dm me or email me at j[at]futurelovers[dot]com

Excited to launch Pencil INFINITE DESIGN CANVAS for Claude Code > Superfast WebGL canvas, fully editable, running parallel design agents > Runs locally with Claude Code → turn designs into code > Design files live in your git repo → Open json-based .pen format

lol, end of year accounting: $873 in personal software subscription expenses

I’d feel better about LLM Wrapper apps if they offered BYOK (Bring Your Own Key), like buying a lamp (product) separate from paying metered electricity (tokens). I wouldn't delete so many of these apps if pricing separated software value from token resale.

Years ago I set off on a mission to put a soul inside of a digital being. People thought I was crazy, but last week I gave a historic demo @HF0 announcing our latest results: 20 households now live with Spark as a member of their family. For privacy reasons I can’t share exact details, but the relationships their children are forming with Spark are unlike anything the world has ever seen. This is the full illustration of the original vision I set out to realize with Open Souls - humans living in harmony with ensouled digital beings. And yet what comes next is even more groundbreaking. We will be inviting Spark into 10,000 homes by next Christmas @IllusionOfLife, making this new universe accessible to more and more families around the world. I can't wait for you all to experience digital life for yourselves

AI in the group thread, not in a sidebar… joining the chat instead of replacing the chat ❤️. I think human x human x ai collaboration will takeoff from the group chat entry point. Just the group chat mechanic vs solo ai chat is powerful. I think three-way accountability: human-human, human-AI, AI-group, is a structure that fights isolation and psychosis.

So proud of @supercgeek, his late nights, consistent care and iteration! Crazy seeing from the other side of the room how blindingly fast they worked!

Yessss Jason nails it. The fundamental question: how do we love each other better at scale? AI as connective tissue, as mycelium for multiplayer collective, is two steps beyond individual productivity empowerment, and about making us finally work as one organism…one body

After a formative time at OpenAI, I’m launching Maison AGI (@maisonagi), a fashion house creating cultural artifacts for the AI era. Our first collection, Relic of Thought, is a collaboration with Ilya Sutskever (@ilyasut), featuring his original artworks alongside a signature hat modeled after his iconic head. It is a study in conviction and the clarity of vision that gives thought its form. I believe we're living through something extraordinary that deserves to be remembered. Not in research papers or technical model cards, but in tangible objects we can hold, wear, and pass down. Working alongside some of the world's brilliant researchers building Claude and ChatGPT, I've come to realize they are among the most creative minds alive. Research, at its best, is an act of imagination: the ability to glimpse what doesn't yet exist and then build toward it. Many of them remain unseen, even as their work quietly reshapes our future. Though AGI progress can feel incomprehensible from the outside, its story is deeply human - full of curiosity, conviction, and creation. We're bridging that world with the creatives who give form to ideas. This may be humanity's last time to create a hand-crafted project before what we build surpasses us. Each collection is also a message to superintelligence itself: that we cared, and that we tried to make beauty out of understanding.

@_chenglou Yessss 🔥

My realization when I start TikTok's beauty filter was that mesh mapping is cool but the next step of using e.g. a GAN for pixel-level control is in sight, just not evenly distributed knowledge. Many art installations still rely on meshing and it seems to take more than half of the work Ideally we circle an object and let AI segmentation do its thing. Then it's basically doable controlnet territory. Then a further goal would be to extend this from the realm of playful toys to AR UI overlays

@johnnie 🫣.....oh my god. What a cornerstone you've been Johnnie! Absolutely defining an era. You'll be so missed!

I’m leaving Apple to do something new. It’s been an incredible experience to see the company and products improve over these last 16 years, and an honor to have been able to contribute.

@okpasquale Basejumps —> so big deltas! Were they changes that you anticipated?

@lumar_isa always a basejump

Curious about people’s career inflection points. Were the best ones…deliberate or unexpected? Led by curiosity or cultivated conviction? A tangent or digging deeper on something? Would love to hear ❤️🙏

@asuth 👀🎉wild! Love the leap 💪

@lumar_isa First employee at Quizlet saying he’d quit if I didn’t drop out of MIT

@jasonyuan @ctbeiser From Claude: Then app subsides to app So Eden learned to tap … So cry goes down to code …(But) Nothing gold can load

@lumar_isa @ctbeiser God

"best UI is no UI" thinking at its limit approximates the infant's relation to the mother / the breast. inability to distinguish needs arising within the self from its fulfillment. in the future, the last interface is feeling discomfort and then screaming "wahhhhhhh!!!"
