@ReelFacts_yt captain picard with hair??!! blasphemy!

Patrick Stewart breaking down how he approached playing Enobarbus years before Star Trek. You can already hear how much thought he put into every little choice.

@demishassabis Will there be anyone to look back?

@erikbryn In 10 years? Wasn't it supposed to happen in a year or so?

Here's our statement on AI and the economy. We Must Act Now A Statement on AI’s Transformation of the Economy 1. AI may become radically more powerful over the next 10 years. 2. This could drive an unprecedented transformation of our economy, larger than the Industrial Revolution, but unfolding over a vastly shorter time frame. It could bring risks, including large-scale job displacement, as well as opportunities such as major gains in living standards. 3. Economists, policymakers and technology leaders must act now to understand the economics of transformative AI and to build the incentives, guardrails, and institutions needed to steer AI in a direction that complements humans and benefits society.

@pubity How does people playing games affect productivity and employment?

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma is now an official advisor for the U.S. Federal Reserve. She's leading a task force to address employment and productivity in the U.S. and will directly influence government decisions.

@AnalogDreamDev Pretty cool. What kind of game will you make

Only 250 days ago I decided I was going to try and write my own custom game engine from scratch. Might not look impressive, but I created everything here, have learned so much, & am finally about to start making my first solo-dev game. What do you think? #gamedev #indiedev

@Polymarket Did it ever?

NEW: OpenAI warns the widely used AI coding benchmark, SWE-Bench Pro, “no longer reliably measures frontier coding capability.”

@imisra_ What data was this trained on?

Meet Muse Image, our most advanced image model yet. It's agentic: it reasons, searches the web for the knowledge it needs, uses tools, and refines its own generations before returning a result. This was such a fun project to work on!! Details in 🧵

@code When will we get infinite tokens back 😭🤣

⚡ VS Code just shipped a big wave of GitHub Copilot upgrades! 🌐 Build and validate web apps with browser agent tools 🤖 Manage parallel agent workflows with the Agents window (Preview) 🎓 New VS Code Learn courses ✨ Plus Autopilot improvements, model discovery for BYOK, cost visibility, and much more. 📖 Read the full changelog: aka.ms/VSCode/changel… Happy coding! 💙

@KentBeck Yes I miss the flow, the mind engagement, the friction, achievement, success after struggle

Programming lost its flow state. The agent world feels more like air traffic control. What I miss most: feeling oriented, a sense of mastery. That loss is emotional, and when software gets fiddly, practical too. More on Still Burning: stillburningpodcast.com

@gleb_alexandrov Idkfa

Thank you for our childhood, sir. IDDQD.

@DilumSanjaya but does it really whip??

Prototyping tech gadgets with vibe coding | Part 3 Got multiple requests to do something similar to Winamp So I gave it a try with Fable

@Polymarket I wonder what kind of world we would love in if people would read books instead of watching Netflix?

NEW: Time spent watching Netflix grew less than 2% last year, as several of its biggest returning shows suffered steep audience drop-offs.

@Hedgeye Did they have a choice?

America is running out of places to gather: Bars and clubs per capita have fallen over 60% since the late 1970s, and since 2001 a fifth of movie theaters have shut their doors. Over the past two decades, the country has lost roughly 2,000 golf courses and 7,000 bars and nightclubs. Catching live music now costs a pretty penny: top-tour concert tickets averaged $134 last year, up +42% from 2019. So Americans stay in. Nearly 80% see friends and family less than three times a week. Read that again. America has traded their community for their couch.

@internetphysics Yes. How will future humans match?

it's truly insane what people were able to build in the last few decades by manually typing the code character by character

@GergelyOrosz In summary?

Let me know if this is just me: Noticed someone I know who is very "AI-pilled" and uses agents 24/7 to... start to talk noticeably more like these LLMs write. Eg more heavily using adjectives like "geniune", frequently terms like "the shape of" and many more examples

@ylecun @andykonwinski other than saying, is there something someone can do anything about it?

Exactly. I've been disseminating a similar message for years. The concentration of power in AI and the desire for control is by far the biggest danger of AI. It could lead to a few private companies and/or countries being in control of access to information, access to knowledge, and access to the tools of economic expansion. It's a kind of medieval obscurantism akin to the Ottoman empire banning the use of the printing press for 200 years, in part to keep control of the dogma, but also to protect the corporation of the calligraphers and scribes. Relevant historical bits about the Internet: 1. It took a deliberate decision by Al Gore and Bill Clinton to open up access of what was then ARPAnet to commercial entities and to the public, against the desires of the entrenched telecom industry. During a public roundtable about the "information superhighway" in 1993, the CEO of AT&T told Gore and Clinton "leave it to us". Gore said no. 2. In the late 1980s, setting up an Internet presence required buying proprietary hardware with proprietary OS and software stack from Sun Microsystems, HP, IBM, or Dell. By the 2000s, all of this was wiped out by commodity hardware, Linux, Apache, and an entirely free/open software stack. This migration to open platforms was the result of market forces. Infrastructure wants to be open. Foundation models are becoming an infrastructure and will inevitably become commoditized. Long term, the money is in the application layer, which is what I, Arthur Mensch, Alex Karp, and others have been saying.

@ylecun @andykonwinski "Infrastructure wants to be open." love this one

@jxnlco making startup specs for new projects, save tokens and it's also really good at making specs

If you use Codex, is there any reason you still use ChatGPT? what do you use it for? how has it been better or critical for you?

@wonderofscience one way in, no way out

@Talesworth beautiful

"What a privilege to be tired from work you once begged the universe for." This quote sums up the gratitude I've been feeling to be working on Weepstone. I've honestly never worked harder in my life and I've had many days I'm stretching the stamina bar to 150%, but I truly believe that it doesn't get better than this. I decided I wanted to make games at age 8, banging out a BBS door in BASIC on my Commodore 64C. To be doing it now full time is a dream come true. (Quote credit: I believe Aryan Sachdeva said this)
