Why is it my new go-to? While CLIP (from OpenAI or others) requires text captions and specialist models that overfit to niche data, DINOv3 operates like pure visual intuition. #SSLforImages

Forget begging for labeled data or wrestling with five different models. This model learns purely from raw pixels, 1.7 billion of them, and provides a single, frozen backbone that handles tasks such as depth mapping, segmentation, and material estimation out of the box.

Computer Vision is probably my favorite discipline of IT.
If you are building apps that enable your computer to see (style transfer, object removal, smart masking, visual effects etc.) with DINOv3 has quietly changed the game.

Also use weighted prompts based on relevance.
Works across 6 tasks. No fine-tuning. No extra data.
Interesting step in using models more intelligently, not just bigger or trained more.

A new paper shows how Stable Diffusion can do visual in-context learning without any training.
They change how attention works during inference to let the model compare a query image with example prompts.

The devastating truth about current AI models: They have no real understanding. There is no intelligence in them.
New Harvard/MIT research trained models on planetary orbits. They perfectly predicted planetary motion but completely failed when asked to apply basic physics (F=ma) to new scenarios.

Most revealing moments: Named Tesla at Disneyland, "gave away too much equity" when Musk invested, had to sue Tesla just to get credit in the first Roadster, and thinks current self-driving promises are overhyped. "I don't want a self-driving car."

Must-watch interview: Dario Amodei gets candid about AI, Anthropic, and being called a "doomer":
Most powerful moments:
His father died from a disease that became 95% curable just 3-4 years later - this personal loss drives his urgency around AI's potential to accelerate medical breakthroughs.

Just watched an amazing Claude Code best practices talk by Cal Rueb from Anthropic. His top tips:
Use claude . md files for persistent context across sessions
Ask Claude to plan before coding (saves tons of time)
Run multiple Claude instances in parallel for complex projects

GenAI's "Diffusion Effect" is like painting: broad strokes, then adding details. Text generation refines outputs iteratively, making conversations better and faster. Pretty neat, right?
