I was daydreaming about a scuba trip to SE Asia recently and this workflow was useful:
1. Ask for a list of dive spots with descriptions
2. Reformat into .kml (importable in Google Earth)
3. Ask for another list of tourist destinations, also export as .kml
4. Self-plan itinerary by proximity

Adolf Loos describing planned obsolescence in 1908 is a good reminder that there's nothing new under the sun.

Porting MusicGen models to ONNX, quantizing, and running them on a Pi 4 to build a generative sampler/groovebox. MusicGen runs 7x faster in my barebones ONNX implementation than in transformers!

AI begets a 21st century Dadaism; it shows you the form of familiar things, but they flow into one another in a situationless manner, devoid of context.
AI researchers would call this a "world model". Right now AI can approximate the distribution of the form, but has no model of the function.

Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.

This is rather cool, it's an endless procedurally generated museum based on Wikipedia. Nice to wander round, particularly in VR. Spent a good while in the surprisingly vast hall of soup earlier.

cool project: www.flowstate.cc lets you filter your feeds based on the types of content you do/don't want to see. e.g., no public freakouts, no rage bait. tools like this could help people regain agency over their digital experiences

students using AI on assignments; teachers using AI to grade them. sending emails written by AI, so recipients can respond with AI. building an app with AI; deploying it to be used by AI agents. the implication is that we have no interest in doing anything. what are we freeing our time up for?

opening up the computer in the morning, seeing all my tabs and windows and Documents from the day prior—it’s like coming home to a happy family. Each file is like an old friend. And nothing beats hanging out with your friends 😃
