I asked Fable 5.2 to "go wild" making a game, and all I got was this Pong clone.

And then I played it ...

A lot of research went into this.
my vocal synth models the vocal tract as a network of branching acoustic tubes, unlike vocaloid which stitches together and pitch-shifts phoneme recordings. still working on improving naturalness by tuning it against recordings of real singers, but I'm already impressed at how cool it sounds!

The West, or perhaps only the Anglosphere, is the historically unique idea that individuals exist not for the sake of their ruler, their class, their society, their ancestors, their gods, or any other such superstition, but for their own sake.

Already paying for @claudeai or @ChatGPT? No need to pay for AI twice.

AI runs on “tokens” (little chunks of words). Tokens cost money. Most tools wrap them up as “credits” and sell them to you — Glide included.

But if you’ve got Claude, Codex, or Cursor, you’re already sitting okens... tokens you can use instead of paying for Glide credits. 😏

That is thanks to MCP: a universal plug that lets your AI assistant of choice work inside other tools. Hook Glide up to Claude, ask it to build or tweak your app, and it happens right in your chat.

The AI work runs on your plan, not on Glide credits. And you get full authority to pick whichever model you prefer. Try building with Fable or Astra, then compare them to Haiku or Luna.

Your AI. Your tokens. Glide as the platform to host and deploy your apps.

Glide MCP is available on Pro and Enterprise plans and takes two minutes to set up: glideapps.com/docs/os/mcp

I highly resonate with @DavidDeutschOxf words in the beginning of infinity: "One does not understand a mathematical proposition merely by proving it true"

Models can give us solutions without giving us the understanding needed to ask better questions. Mathematical progress depends on explanations whose reach extends beyond the original problem. Creating explanations that help us formulate new problems remains to be demonstrated.

I love that AI can maintain & upgrade the long tail of personal projects I've done over the years when I otherwise wouldn't have time. @quicktypeio got a major facelift last night thanks to Fable 5.1!

Unpopular opinion: 'Alignment' is a term that confuses more than it reveals. It's used to mean two very different things:

1. Doing what I say.
2. NOT doing what I say because that might be dangerous.

Incoherent.

Instruction following is the useful concept, not alignment.
