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.

Person who is reverse engineering his tv gets banned from OpenAI
You aren't allowed to stop your tv from spying on your family. You have to ask for permission
Or, maybe, maybe we accelerate

banned for reverse engineering work? that’s wild
oh well, -$500, and a bunch of banked resets) but gained motivation to get 3 more machines and finish my cluster.
i have never used openai to exploit or find vulnerabilities, only local reverse engineering which tripped daybreak.

Damn, and I thought spending $6,000 last month on alignednews.com is a lot.
OpenClaw creator spent $10 million on AI tokens last month

Tom Tykwer, the director of Run Lola Run, is making Volcano High with playwright Bonn Park, who directs it. They shoot live action, then use Seedance 2.5 on top of the footage.
In one scene three actors lean into the camera and sing. Seedance turned them into a crowd of 20. ks, and they'll use it more often.
Bonn Park wanted one continuous take where the camera spins around a gym. The model had to remember what was on each side of the room when the camera came back. A test shoot proved it could.
Their producer's favorite moment: a water bottle prop came back as a microscope.
AI isn't replacing the crew here. A director with real taste chose to put it into how a film gets made.

What happens when a stage play meets AI filmmaking? 🎬
In BytePlus’s Next Frame, Run Lola Run director Tom Tykwer, director and playwright Bonn Park, and producer Sarika Hemi Lakhani explore Volcano High, their collaborative AI filmmaking experiment.

Doomers ignore the good too much.
Yeah, I find myself arguing in my head too.
Yeah, this was a horrible week for cybersecurity.
Yeah, AI +could+ do horrific things to our society.
But so could a database, which was used during the Holocaust to target Jews living in Germany.
Yet we all use databases today.
They bring a huge amount of good, even though they could be used again in a Holocaust-like scenario.
Cars kill 1.2 million every year in the world, yet we all still drive despite that huge human cost. I dream of a world where everyone has an autonomous car and that very real human cost is minimized.
I look for the good in technology, even though I'm very aware of the bad (and have my GrokBot reading my Cybersecurity list here on X for the bad, which is getting worse as new models can find new security issues).
Can we get the good? And minimize the bad?
Yes. And that is why I'm still excited about the future that's coming at us so fast we need AI agents to watch it for us.
But we need more of these examples of the good, and that's what I focus my efforts on.
I just spent my Saturday talking to a Chinese investor for two hours and we spent time trying to find commonalities of where both of our countries are innovating and helping humans have better lives, for instance, and my learning from him will show up in my work as we get new kinds of robots, XR devices, AI agents, and brain/computer interfaces.
Thanks @RayFernando1337 for sharing your story.

I have celiac disease. A lot of times restaurants boil the gluten free pasta in the same water as the regular pasta, so I could eat gluten free and still get sick.
You can never really eat with your friends the same way, and looking for restaurants becomes a huge time sink.
So erge that does that work for me, like finding a place with a dedicated gluten-free kitchen.

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.

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.

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!

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?

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.

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.
