1/ Veo 3 launched today! An extraordinary feat from the team to put all the pieces together to create our SOTA audio-video generation model. It’s an incredible tool that unleashes an unparalleled level of creativity and control in the hands of our users. Veo 3 has an uncanny

one thing is clear, Grok 4 is SOTA at telling you what Elon thinks!.
I replicated this result, that Grok focuses nearly entirely on finding out what Elon thinks in order to align with that, on a fresh Grok 4 chat with no custom instructions.

🚀🚀🚀 amazing progress! Now photo to video is available in the @GeminiApp.
Since I/O in May, you've created 40M+ videos with Veo 3!. Now our new photo to video feature in the @Geminiapp lets you create clips inspired by the world around you. Here’s how I imagine our resident dino Stan roams the Google campus when we’re not looking:) Ultra/Pro

The more I study neuroscience, the less I’m convinced that the human brain is meaningfully different than an LLM. Recent studies show that our brain often decides to take an action before we’re even conscious of the decision. And then we come up with rationale afterwards to

I'm in Europe now and so is Veo 3! Enjoy, y'all :).
The wait is over. @GeminiApp is now shipping Veo 3 *globally* for all Pro members!. That means India, Indonesia, all of Europe, and more are starting to get access to create videos right now. As a member, you'll get 3 video generations per day, and that credit will replenish

Crazy how out of date this "ranking" became! I'm old enough to remember when put this data out and people were mildly outraged by those top numbers :)

OpenAI employees during recharge week:
> Meta knows we’re taking this week off to recharge and will take advantage of it to try pressure you to make decisions fast and in isolation . Sam Altman: If you’re feeling that pressure don’t be afraid to reach out. I and Mark are around and want to support you . Zucc won. it’s

The best part of this was the incessant glazing on this website over how Sam Altman is such a gigantic genius for saying this, 4D chess and whatnot. Ah yes, a true master class in talent retention in the end!.
Earlier this month, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said, regarding Meta’s aggressive poaching spree, “none of our best people have decided to take them up on that.”. Today, they’ve lost four key researchers.

Finally, all the former Brain people can afford the rents in Zurich! ;).
It's all change in AI in 🇨🇭. When I moved here from the UK 11 years ago, for the quiet life, I didn't imagine there would be this much action! Exciting times.

I remember having drinks with friends at NeurIPS 2014 when this happened and we all concluded that we were at "peak AI bubble" and it must go down from here now. Very naive in retrospect :).
When this happened in 2014 almost everyone in AI thought it was outrageously overpriced.

Will add *Veo 3 has ruined everything" to the list of testimonials ;).
What I’ve learned from posting my latest tutorial on Hailuo 2 is that VEO 3 has ruined everything. People are literally angry at ME that the video model can’t generate dialogue. Wtf lol. It’s such silly commentary, you can add sound effects and even do lip syncing with other.

One weird trick to have your recruiting emails answered I guess? ;).
In another unconventional career move, I’m now the Head of Recruiting for all OpenAI. Making this decision was hard and easy. I care immensely about culture and about people, the further I get in life, the more I understand these are the two most important things. 1/n

I really don't understand how anyone gets paid to make such public statements? All these words are basically reading tea leaves? Why 200, why 20 etc?.
Wells Fargo, $WFC, said that the recent S&P 500 rebound may be fragile due to narrow rally breadth. Fewer than 50% of stocks are above their 200-day moving average, and only 56% are above their 20-day MA—suggesting limited participation.
