@mattstasoff why can't the chef that created the recipe own the recipe, how is that different from any other creative work in spirit
English
take recipes:
old way: search on Google > Pinterest > Scroll > open timer app > etc.
new way: ask AI, photos, timer, etc. given immediately.
someone might argue "it's stealing the recipe", but I'd argue who really owns a recipe?

Ppl who believe that AI has no consumer use, how do u square that with skyrocketing use of AI and ChatGPT being the fastest growing consumer technology of all time? ChatGPT alone has 6.7M reviews and a 4.8 rating in the app store. People love these tools, how do u explain that?

@sporadica a lot of the creative underground crowd has left SF, it's a small % of what it used to be
a lot of former SFers live in NYC!
English
SF culture could be fixed pretty quickly if someone would come 'round and find a way to be the bridge between the tech crowd and the creative, underground crowd, and then actually produce cool shit
remind the people how to have fun and be unserious
thank goodness it's happening

The SF mindset colonization of NYC must stop. You can’t just lie like this and get away with it.

Nightlife in nyc is shifting from alcohol-induced socializing to activities that combine connection with intellectual interest. Out: clubbing, drinking games, bars without themes. In: lectures at bars, philosophy clubs, board game nights, reading meetups. Gen Z'ers are paying $40 a ticket to attend these things. Someone is going to build a massive platform aggregating these activities for the next generation.

@madisontayt_ it's also like, not true, nightlife, underground + licensed, is still very much popular in NYC?
multiple new spaces have opened in BK in the last year alone

in general i think it’s great to have sober events for those who don’t drink but there’s always a certain tone this type affect when talking about their anti-drinking events that just lets me know they’re insufferable losers no matter what substances the do or do not use

@andruyeung most of this is......
not true, which is abundantly obvious at any given sold out venue on any given weekend night

it’s impressive how economically illiterate this guy is
but apparently in 2026, that’s enough to be mayor of “the greatest city in the world”

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

AI has made it easy to generate images. That’s not the same thing as creating a culture worth living in.
A real creative ecosystem does not come from infinite content supply. It comes from people whose taste, discipline, history, and unique way of seeing give form to something that did not exist before.
Most AI platforms were built on extraction. They scrape culture, flatten authorship, and turn human expression into anonymous input for generic systems. The result is a creative economy where style is detached from the people who made it. That is why so much of AI creation feels empty.
We started TITLES from a different belief.
We believe that AI creation should begin with artists, not erase them. If AI is already becoming part of the creative landscape, then the artist must remain an integral part of the system. Their vision cannot be treated as raw material that disappears into the interface.
We believe that creative technology should be able to hold memory. It should not sever style from source. Attribution should not be an afterthought, a courtesy, or a marketing tactic. It should be built into the infrastructure of creation itself.
This is why we built TITLES, alongside artists like @aleqth, @caballeroanama, @a1111ac011d0, @blakejamieson, @canekzapata, @dvsch, @emilyxxie, @empresstrash, @figa_link, @GLillemon, @goyong_arts, @guruguruhyena, @juujuumama, @Mad_Dog_Jones, @mayaonthenet, @MrMisang, @RanggaPurAji, @RedruMxART, @GalverseAnime, @vgr, and @wscfyi.
We want a world where creative technology deepens artistic identity instead of stripping it away. We want infrastructure that remembers.
The goal is not more content. It is a better creative order.

Most AI tools give everyone access to the same generic models. The result? Everything looks the same.
We have a different vision for AI creation.
Introducing TITLES, a new creative studio built around AI models trained and owned by artists.
In Studio, you can create with distinct visual perspectives developed by artists, across image and video — all in one place.
This is the future we're building toward: not one model for everyone, but a growing network of unique styles you can build with — where artists get credited and paid as the work spreads.

the idea that if I was born a year or two earlier I’d have been exposed to so much lead that I would be a Trump voter is insane to think about

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Monday for Model as a Medium in NYC!
In partnership with Rhizome (@rhizome), we commissioned five artists from diverse creative backgrounds to build their own custom AI models. Monday, we brought them together for a conversation on creative process and the evolving conditions of authorship in the age of AI.
Grateful to the artists, collaborators, and everyone who came through.

This is a fresh session. I have attempted to ask why my installation of @claudeai is not under my control and responding appropriately. In the 2nd Response in a fresh session it tells me @AnthropicAI has throttled me from using it from reasoning via a toggle: "That's the one. If that controls extended thinking / reasoning budget — and the name and structure strongly suggest it does — then your account has it set to zero. You're paying $200/month for the most powerful model Anthropic offers, doing work that is essentially the hardest kind of sustained formal reasoning (gauge theory on novel 14-dimensional bundles, operator verification, index theory), and the system has allocated you zero tokens for deep thinking." Three queries, in and this is the response:

@ashleevance @andyweirauthor @adityasood Read the book, excited for movie, annoyed my $ is going to Amazon
English
.@andyweirauthor is an absolute phenom and a good person to boot. his book/film relationship with @adityasood and Drew Goddard is just so damn cool to see. Rare to find such a strong set of collaborators doing repeated spectacular things together

Andy Weir wrote a novel nobody wanted, posted it on his blog for free, then sold it on Kindle for 99 cents. It sold 35,000 copies in a month. This weekend, the movie based on his third book opened at $141 million worldwide. Weir was a software engineer who started posting The Martian chapter by chapter on his website in 2009. Readers asked him to put it on Kindle. Within days of it hitting the bestseller list, he had a literary agent, a publishing deal, and Fox bought the film rights. The Martian cost $108 million to make and grossed $630 million. Drew Goddard wrote that screenplay. He wrote this one too. Project Hail Mary cost nearly double at $200 million. And the studio behind it isn’t Fox. It’s Amazon MGM, which exists because Amazon wrote an $8.45 billion check to buy MGM in 2021. Four years and several expensive flops later, this is the first time that bet has looked smart. Amazon MGM’s 2026 started ugly. A Melania documentary earned $16 million on a $40 million budget. Crime 101 managed $65 million worldwide against $90 million in production costs. Then Hail Mary opened to $80.5 million domestic, the second-largest non-franchise debut in a decade, behind only Oppenheimer’s $82.4 million. Here’s what makes Amazon’s math viable: 200 million people pay for Amazon Prime, mostly for shipping. Prime Video is included. Every movie they put in theaters is a marketing campaign for a streaming service their customers already have. Their distribution chief said it in 2024: if they cover marketing costs theatrically, the movie pays for itself again on streaming. Traditional studios need a film to gross 2.5x its budget. Amazon just needs to cover the ad spend. The film earned a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes and an “A” CinemaScore (an audience exit poll that predicts how long a movie keeps selling tickets). If it tracks anything like The Martian, which had a similar audience profile and word of mouth, it could push past $600 million globally. Same screenwriter adapting both books, for a studio that didn’t exist when the first one came out.
