https://t.co/QP3BcgHLGz Google’s Genie3 is not getting enough attention. Gangster move for Google to drop on same day as OpenAI open source model. Genie3 is even more impressive. By far. Kudos to both teams for making it a magical time to be alive.
Incredible evolution of "Neural Video Games": from GQN (2018) to Genie3 (2025). The future is exciting! https://t.co/EYygTAa3UF

Damn. This is actually one of the best series of AI generated content I’ve seen In a while. This is just amazing anime style content/video.
I ran 100+ anime images through Midjourney Video. The results? Pure magic. 10 examples 👇

You’d be working directly with me — shaping how this new category comes to life, and building the design foundation for the company. This is one of the most important hires I’ll make this year.

Across all the LLMs I've used... the default tone in which Grok speaks seems to resonate with me the most and feels the most human, albeit sometimes not as well structured (vs. my ChatGPT w/ my personalized system prompts). Thoughts?

What a great monologue. @billmaher really nailed it in his take and visit with Trump. Very much worth a listen.
Twelve days ago, I had dinner with President Trump, a dinner that my friend @KidRock set up because we share the belief that there has to be something better than hurling insults from 3000 miles away.

My ADD brain resonated with this summary. :)
@sama the deepseek team made some incredible advancements with their research. i’m excited to see how the team at openAI applies these approaches. here’s a summary of their paper: "DeepSeek-R1: Incentivizing Reasoning Capability in LLMs via Reinforcement Learning"

How did deepseek ramp up their infra/inferencing so quickly to support being #1 in the appstore w/ very fast response times - even with the est. 30x+ efficiency gain over say 01 - this requires some insane infra? Something that I can't imagine they could have turned on a week?

“Can be found At URL.” Reminds me of that Homer Simpson scene: dog, where’s the “space bar”?
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass tells residents that if they need emergency help or shelter it “can be found at URL.” What?! This is the perfect picture of the incredible levels of incompetence ravaging Los Angeles right now.

“…Catches fire” WTF. That’s almost like saying the twin towers “catches fire.” This is the shit that makes so much of MSM lose all creditability. This is such sad news for so many reasons. What a shit way to start the year no matter what your political views are. :(
Let me fix that for you MSM: “Breaking: Truck packed with explosives explodes in suspected attack outside of Vegas hotel” Or if you want to add the brands of the hotel and car: “Developing: Cybertruck packed with fireworks explodes outside of Trump Hotel in Vegas under

Frands - curious what Canadian banks has the best private banking services. Looking for a bank that has a unified view of person and corporate and investment accounts. Right now, with TD, but system is so siloed it’s insane.
