Anthropic computer use API + iPhone mirroring to a Mac = AI controlled phone. Watch Claude control my phone and successfully look up stats in my Sports app. I even got it to play a game in the Chess app against another AI - pretty crazy. And this is the worst it’ll ever be.

not fake news. 🤓
Even if you shut off white balance, most of the pictures I see aren't selling how orange the sky is, because there's no frame of reference. Here's a 6500k display with an image we all recognize, for a more relative perspective. The color science isn't perfect, but close enough.

This is one of the most heartwarming true stories you will read today. It has been a joy to get to know and work with the talented @FG_Artist and his family. Our check-ins were the favorite part of my day. He is going to go far!

nice work by students of @NFTSFilmTV
These @NFTSFilmTV students made an insane replica miniature CIA vault from ‘Mission: Impossible’ (Yep, the one Tom Cruise breaks into). @beforesmag got a special visual insight into how it was built https://t.co/IzcEXeIKu8
