In 2004 I designed my first wearable AI memory prosthesis: smart glasses that knew when someone was looking at you. They automatically paused your chats and blogged your interactions. Like most of today’s “AI memory” toys, privacy wasn’t even in the blueprint. ACM CHI demo 👇

While waiting for my madeleine paste to rest (turned out excellent) I vibe-coded a little cross-compiler that converts C=64 BASIC .txt files into executable .prg's that work on emulators and real HW @commodoreofcl

Neo robot showing off again…

Guys! Proud to show the first image of my new AI wearable. Just a one-off for me at the moment, but looking for beta testers for the next batch! Need to be O+ blood type. DM for details

Is there such a thing as visual echolalia? Well, it’s happening to my @grok curated timeline

Only one of my childhood friends had an Amiga (we all started on C64 ofc). Curious if any of my followers had an Amiga BITD. Holler if ya did! Did you collect demos and cracktros? What games? Video Toaster?

Commodore Amiga (1985) blows me away. Here’s a demo by @therealh0ffman that’s only 64k! Grateful my Dad bought me a Mac Plus in 1986, but wonder where I’d be today if he chose Amiga…

If your AI voice agents can’t read non-verbal social cues (like eye contact) for multiparty turn-taking, you’re cooked 🍗 Check the @grok demo I made this summer in my bedroom AI lab 👇

A #StarTrek episode where they transport to an alternate universe that is more like our own than theirs…

Same energy

OG wearable AI: Dr. Theopolis (’79). Buck Rogers had the AI pendant decades before us. Who else remembers Twiki rocking this?

Wake words are cringe Interruptions are worse My GPT only listens when I look at it 👁️👁️ Non-verbal cues are the missing context for natural voice AI

I can't be the only one that plays 80's movie montage music while waiting for an LLM to complete a large task... Should be a built-in feature! @elonmusk @cursor_ai @grok @AnthropicAI @OpenAI

I used to say USA had higher highs (wealth, fame), but lower lows (poverty, homelessness) compared to Canada. I don’t think that’s true anymore. Canada has the same lows as USA now, but our heights are still far below what can be achieved in USA. Why?

It’s been said that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”, and that “any sufficiently advanced insight is indistinguishable from insanity”. We can also say that “any sufficiently advanced encoding is indistinguishable from thermal radiation”

Ghidra+GPT is reverse engineering & learning grail tool. Use GPT to add code comments for decompiled binary or other code that is not yours. Trick is the context you can give it before a run

Moving house. Packed the computers and gear carefully. Family too. Now time to continue the cold chain

Trepanning/Trepanation set to make a comeback if @elonmusk and @neuralink have their way.

Very exciting @elonmusk! I helped build mobile programmable DNA microfactories ~7 years ago at @Synbiota, and shipped them worldwide. Made real medicine, but hounded by @DHSgov saying I was distributing WMDs...

I’ve been attending CHI since 2002. This is the first time I have attended a session in VR! #CHI2020
