Nouveau Monica - Universal Mind Chaos. When I first heard this 2 year old track last week it had a couple hundred views. Now in the thousands - no reason to believe it shouldn’t be 100’s of thousands. youtu.be/uwzFVfFEKck?...

Your LLM is wrong and hallucinating; try gemini 2.5 pro or Claude pro. No magic just a challenge to the llms to de-base64, solve a little riddle for a key and then decrypt. But the fact they can read base64 means you can do some prompt injection that is visible but not humanly readable …

This demo has me blown away - try it! Cracking latency in voice like this really makes a difference. (cc @lucasmeijer.bsky.social)

At Sesame, our goal is to achieve “voice presence”—the magical quality that makes spoken interactions feel real, understood, and valued.

Enjoyable things; “Is 1 bit enough?” youtu.be/SDSwhE4-_3U?...

A work of art. The pinnacle of release notes that say nothing.

Including the self-centered billionaire technocrat with all the solutions was more prescient than even I expected from this documentary. "Wants the world to be saved, but only if he is the one to save it".

MKBHDs SORA review. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY2x... "what is this tool actually for" is the right question. The answer indeed hopefully isn't "NFTs".

Persistant believable realism seems some ways away based on the review.

One machine talks to another machine and takes down an beautiful treasure trove of human creativity, while no human can intervene ? Is that about right ?

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

I really thought BeOS was going to be The Next Big Thing(tm). It's probably for the best that I don't gamble.

I would hate to be The Onion for the next 4 years, where real headlines will be indistinguishable from satire.

LoneStar^Spaceballs worked on that; lookup State of the Art and 9 Fingers on Amiga and you find the origin and connection between this title and that tech ;-)

I remember joining Twitter in January 2007.
@neb.me said something along the lines of "You should give Twitter a shot, it's interesting".
We updated our status using SMS from dumb phones.
You could still meet cool nerds.
This feels a lot like it.
Already racking up awesome folks ☺️

GenAI Tools can be a blessing for creators - tools to help, but those tools cannot come at the cost of other creators losing the right to their content, likeness - that's not a technology conversation, that's a societal conversation. The technology can follow.
