1/ Our large behavior model, Newton, creates a detailed narrative of a real-world scenario using only a microphone and radar β€” no camera required! By fusing real-time sensor data with contextual information, it can figure out if someone may need help and offer recommendations. 🧡

Perplexity, Cursor, notebookLM, google search answers, new computer, etc are all β€œjust a UX on top of LLMs” Product design is not dead, it’s alive as ever. You just have to be clever in building a product with the right surface area, LLMs are an implementation detail.

It’s kinda wild to think that Cursor is mostly a UX on top of LLMs It’s not like they have a 10x better model, but they’ve 10x’d the experience

Money was never the goal. I hated relying on Adobe (Flash) so much that I felt I had to create a free option for the HTML5/WebGL world. It has not been easy and I've had to sacrifice a few things in my personal life but I think it has been worth it.

Sometimes I wonder, how does @threejs make money, no pricing page on their website, and it’s all free to use. I can’t imagine the amount of hard work put into that library, how does @mrdoob profit from this hard work?

#shadercraft (β„–10) https://t.co/3rCgOo2R5k by @patriciogv (learning, inspiration) An excellent primer course to help you get the most out of #glslViewer and #lygia. Not only a great explainer for these tools, but a peek into an iconic creator's prototyping process 😍

RIP Vernor Vinge, who coined the term AI "singularity", but didn't live long enough to see it. Here is is (far right) at our 2015 Puerto Rico AI safety conference.
