New problem: AI can make almost anyone look like an expert. This week, @IrenaCronin and I discuss how deeper experience matters when using AI. As polished work becomes cheap, the real advantage shifts to judgment, experience, taste, and knowing when AI is wrong.   Read and subscribe for free: (a new one comes every week).

RT @morphic: Recast Pro is now live on @morphic. Swap the people in any video while keeping the motion, cuts, and audio. Add up to 10 reference photos, name each swap in the prompt, and recast clips from 3 to 30 seconds in 720p or 1080p. Try now on

RT @SoftEngineer: AI in video games are a confusing topic to me. @TimSweeneyEpic recently got a lot of flak for pushing AI in game development. There are opinion pieces left and right condemning AI use in game development. Here I am, having worked for ~6 months on a game I released on Steam last week. And my sin, apparently, was using AI and disclosing it. The comment section was pretty clear on that. It's confusing to me. AI is a tool. IDE is a tool. A programming language is a tool. A graphics API is a tool. We're just using tools. I've been writing software for about 3 decades now, I'd like to think that I know what I'm doing and am pretty good at it. I see AI as an incredible productivity booster. It does some things that I pride myself on being good at, such as teasing out a math formula or optimizing an algorithm better than me most of the time (with a lot of handholding, granted), but for the most part it makes things I find tedious - fast. As I software engineer, and a game maker, I take relatively little pride in knowing a programming language, or remembering 100 shortcuts in an IDE, or knowing a programming language spec by heart. I remember the first time I needed to make an animated 3d model, almost 15 years ago now, and it took me about a week of full-time effort to get anywhere. I didn't feel particularly proud, I felt frustrated, I had a clear idea, but the tool and its complexity were getting in the way. Well, the tools are better now. Blender is better, animation tools are better, and there are AI models that keep improving at an incredible pace. Ultimately, when I write a piece of software, or work on a game - I rarely think about the tools, they are a means to an end, not the point in itself.

RT @ImagineArt_X: imagine a world without editors ✨ *without editors having to painstakingly spend hours adding cuts, embedding music, sound effects, transitions, B-roll, and whatnot introducing Agentic Video Editor. just talk to it, and it does the editing. video editing is now as simple as having a conversation.

RT @reasonmachines: Coding in the IDE is over. Introducing Reason, the AI Teammate for work and code. We spent the last months building the worlds best harness. And now it just works, on anything. Give Reason a spin for free ->

RT @emmanuel_2m: We just open-sourced 1,300+ 3D models. All 39 GB are free to download on Hugging Face. > made with Hitem3D, Meshy, Rodin, Tripo, Claude Opus 5.5 3D and GPT-6 Astra 3D, which all run on Scenario > includes the input images, prompts and settings that made them > GLBs up to 8K textures, native Blender files from Opus and Astra, CC BY 4.0

RT @elonmusk: Grok @Bot saves sensitive info in a vault

Grok Bot can now save your logins, cards, and contact information. Add them once, and Bot securely remembers them for the future.

RT @Thom_Wolf: The Jensen effect 🦆 launch day: about 3,000 MicroDucks sold 
24h after @JensenHuang showed it on stage at @nvidia GTC: over 4,000 newly sold units and keep counting bigger than our (already massive) launch day!

Jensen spent 10 min of his keynote asking microducks to sit, then explained Nvidia's roadmap to them 🥹

RT @adolandev: I put Opus 5.5 and Kimi K3.1 Pro head-to-head with the exact same coding challenge. Build "Lantern Hour" in a single HTML file: 4 art styles, a full day/night cycle, dynamic lighting and shadows, and interactive controls. Canvas 2D only. No libraries or external assets. Which one did better?

RT @oskarglauser: My book is launching on Product Hunt today – The community for the best new products in tech. It might not be a tech product but it can help you build one. Give it an upvote if you pass by. Thanks!

There are some useful wearable hardware devices coming. Just got one that is automating my life. Secret until early November. At dinner with the team that built it. Love builders. The future is getting more automated.

The @1x_tech Neo is coming soon. What if it talked like this? My family would say “it is conscious.” I probably would too. @jack which robot company is licensing Dessa?

We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

I don't do this. It's just wrong, and it's against X's terms of service.

That's how Kimi AI are promoting their new model Kimi K3.1 pro and I know all the influencers working with them and none of them are honest,I have posted about it myself but I didn't join this and never used their templates that they provide. PROPAGANDA, I have more to share it's f**cked up I'm gonna have follow up for this

Damn this is stunningly good.

RT @RadianceFields: You can animate flowing water in splats now with more splats. And yes it also works with lava 😂

RT @iankar_: this is absolutely insane...easily the best speech model I've heard

RT @techvizbiz: If you use AI chat like ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, I’d love for you to try something I’ve been building. I started SASKI because I wanted AI I could trust around my own kid. That work has now become an AI chat app where you can use six of the leading AI models in one place, with our safety rules checking every message. It’s designed to help keep your personal details, like your phone number and address, from reaching the AI. If someone is going through a really hard time, it points them to crisis help. And your private chats stay private: we never see or store them. You can also help us make it better. There are built-in test prompts you can try with one click, and if you find something it gets wrong, tell me. Every miss helps us improve it. The first 100 people to sign up get 2 million free tokens, which is a lot of chatting. It’s for adults 18 and over. 👉 Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this. It means more than you know. ❤️ #AISafety #aicompliance #safeai

"Fame is a terrible metric of success." This is all true. Even the part that @tszzl calls "mental illness." I'm patient #1 of all that. My former partner, Shel Israel, warned me "fame can kill you" years ago. And he was right. I've seen it destroy people. Living life in the public eye is something I've done for decades. Had a column in the computer programming magazine I worked for back in the 1990s. And a column at school newspapers back in the late 1980s. @biz, who started this website, says that I'm the first influencer. Was the first to have 1,000 followers here on X, for instance. And it has led to a glorious life, except for when I was shamed for my behavior at parties. Having your worst behavior on the front of USA Today and the New York Times is something I don't wish on my worst enemy. That said, Grok now knows how I think. And knows me better than I know myself. Which is a big advantage to having my Grok Bots look out for me and do tasks on my behalf. To me the luxury of privacy isn't that you wouldn't know what I'm doing, thinking, or acting on, but that I wouldn't need to care about it anymore. Which, I still do. The worse problem is the addiction that comes from watching all of you ship new things, and talk on X about them. If someone said "here's $10 million to give both things up" I'm sure I'd try to go live in a forest somewhere and never check X again. But my brain would go insane for a while in such a situation. That said, fame has many benefits. I've gotten to tour the world, visited things that most people will never be able to do. Neil Young took me into his studio, for instance. I've been on the decks of aircraft carriers. Most of the 4,000 people underneath never could do that even though they live on the ship. I've been to prisons, sewage treatment plants, and many people's homes around the world. The thing I love, all the way back to being a kid, is seeing new things and meeting the people building them. In an hour I'm having dinner with another. All because of my fame. When I got my job at Microsoft everyone knew I was there. It was one reason why I was able to interview 600 people, from Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, down to the HR person who drives candidates around on their job interviews. No one has been able to duplicate that since. In fact, I don't know anyone who has been able to do that inside a major company since either. This is why I join so many spaces. Love talking with people about things I've seen, companies I've visited, people I've met, and what it all means. Thank you. My life is a lot better with you than without you. And if I'm a little insane once in a while, well, now you know. There is a lot of insanity in my head. :-)

RT @BrianRoemmele: The phone that becomes a robot…

How I "monitor the situation." My Grok Bot is now watching the news. About 20,000 personally curated accounts. You can see my news lists at It reads my four news lists, and monitors the news for me. The secret is curated lists. Then Grok Bot does amazingly well. Personalized news is here. And this is just the beginning (Grok got the ability to read lists this week). Yeah, ugly, not pretty. But a lot better to watch the political, business, and world news this way than to try to follow any of these. It runs once every hour.

Why is it better? Because if you are interested in AI (or just Tesla) and you start following news accounts you will "pollute" your ForYou feed. Even if you follow my news lists that will happen. So Grok Bot can be pointed to lists of things you want to follow, but that you don't want to see on your main feed. Like this news monitor.
