Good software is durable. Here's an quick example of... what that means, at an interface level. In X, you can choose a custom emoji reaction. The popover looks like what I expect, but it does not work like I expect. I want to use the ‼ emoji, so the first thing I try is obviously '!'. No results. The sum of a million little papercuts like this means X feels like broken software, not well designed or made. Which is a shame, because it's a brilliant product and network.show more

Creating content for a new product usually means hiring... designers, finding models, or learning editing software. I skipped all of that. Using Pollo AI Commerce Studio, I turned an Amazon necklace listing into a ready to use product video in minutes. What impressed me most was how little work it took. Upload the product. Pick a template. Generate.show more

Pulling that first shot with a bow and arrow... is not something that I would normally want to learn at a festival like this. Most of those fest games are designed to lose so you walk away having less knowledge what you are doing VS when she first walked up to the counter. That said, it's all about having fun and it looks like she is having a good time trying. 😊show more

A few people have asked how I make these... animations. The answer is it's just code and a screen recording. I’ll make little jigs like this interactive timeline to dial things in, but for me I find this is still the fastest way to create and refine exactly what I want.show more

Read first: This is NOT a preview for a... future official set in the game, so please do not mistake this for it! I just like to share what I do. It has been requested a lot, and I want to make people happy. Here's the preview of my upcoming (free) weapon set: The Sun Prophecy. ~show more

Building a dungeon. Love how it looks and feels.... What do you expect from such a game? (Keep in mind it is still a spicy game after all). I don't want to make super hardcore puzzles. I just want it to feel atmospheric, but not like a challenge, more like a fun bit. Any ideas, feedback and suggestions are welcome!show more

I watched Robot on the Road and honestly I... did not really know what to expect going in At the beginning it just feels like a pretty normal little road trip setup with this robot hitchhiking around Japan and it almost gives off a chill slice of life vibe But it does not stay like that for long The more it goes on the more you realize the robot is doing some really questionable stuff and the way it focuses on women without their consent makes the whole thing feel really uncomfortable By the end I was not really sure if I was supposed to find it funny or just feel weird about it Overall it feels like one of those shorts that tries to mix dark humor with awkward situations but it mostly just ends up being unsettlingshow more

Not sure how much you may like to see... tech art here, but here is an example of what can be done with pre-cashed destruction. cheap but looks cool. I bet that BF used the same or nearly the same technique.show more

I made a stream overlay that looks like a... flipbook, so it looks like chat is animating me in real-time. Similar to a sketched drawing come to life on top of an animation table. They can flip the pages on the screen to look at the in-between frames.show more

“I think when I listen to Drop Dead, I... like think of a person who was so full of hope. It's like the ‘here’s to hoping’ thing. I think that song is so, the hope and desire is so palpable in it, and I think the last song (cigarette smoke) is like all of the hopes come crashing down.”show more

jaewon: i made an album called the blue dragon... series awards. i want to show you three photos, but first, a two shot i took with our pretty goeun noona, whom i love, respect, and like. staff: it looks like a wedding reception. jaewon: right? it kind of has that feeling too (proud) THIS GUY IS REALLY........ 😭show more

AJ Styles on younger wrestlers using his moves, he... says he WANTS them to and that a lot of his moves came from copying other wrestlers: “I want them to, that just means I’ve made an impact in the business, that people have watched AJ Styles and thought, ‘Great, I’d like to try that. I’d like to see if I could do that.’ I did the same thing. I was trying shooting star presses and 450s and all kinds of stuff like that because I saw other guys do it. So the fact that someone does the Styles Clash—I don’t care. Thank you for doing it, man. That means it’s impacted the wrestling world, and that’s okay. I like that.” (SESCOOPS)show more

like i said i dont want to be rude... or much less want to turn this into a whole thing but i do not tolerate lying. that's not the reference you used and you know it. this is not acceptable behavior in art communities.show more

250329 zkdlin live Jongin teasing us for being unable... to guess the song titles from his emoji spoilers 😭 🐻 Did you all participate [in guessing at the song titles]? I took a look at the responses generally and it was like ‘I can’t guess it, but even just seeing pictures from you I’m happy’ ‘I’m happy just to see your face’, or like ‘I don’t really know what it is but I do see that Jonginie is working hard’—most of the responses were like this!show more

Seedance 2.5 launched today. But it fairly disappointed me.... In terms of the realistic side, I know it's doing very good! But for the anime side, it's a true regression. The model has an insane amount of noise that is literally so weird. Fast-paced actions feel like paintings, not true anime anymore. I don't know what happened with the training of this model, but in terms of anime, it became a true regression. There is better camera work on 2.5! That's for sure, but the quality took a heavy, heavy hit (art style as well). I hope Dreamina AI sees this. But a fix is needed because anime is totally broken on this model at the current moment.show more

This video is not of a 3-ring circus! This... is what the activists from the Gaza flotilla are doing on an IDF ship. While they’re already telling the world that they were ‘violently’ arrested by the IDF - you can see here exactly what their arrest looks like and how ‘vulnerable’ they are... By the way, would you expect the operators of a flotilla that is on its way to provide aid to "hungry and poor people who are going through genocide" to behave like this? But this is the truth... It's all a provocation. This is not an aid flotilla, this is a condom flotilla, and the people on it are not human rights activists. They’re paid clowns who are also useful idiots!show more

Taste is invisible until you try to write it... down. This is probably my biggest lesson with AI building as of late. At Sundial, I get to work with really friggin' amazing analysts who know the art, and I see how much of our collective time now is now spent turning that art into playbooks or skills for an LLM. Encoding things like: "How would a great analyst actually look at this metric move?" or "What is ACTUALLY the interesting signal in this story versus noise?" or "How can we know if a product change actually moved the needle?" It's really humbling work! You write an instruction set. The LLM misses. You add more context. It still misses. You add even more. Now it's confused. You strip it back. Now it's too vague. You try a different framing. Better, but inconsistent. Works on Monday, fails on Tuesday. You go again. I've come to realize the gap between 70% quality and 95% quality is not 3 or 4 big things. It's more like 100s of small things. Which is exactly why you can't write an article about it, or copy it, or shortcut it! This gap *is* taste, quantified. The accumulated weight of a thousand small judgments you don't notice you're making, until you sit down to externalize them and realize you can't. Being good at something is not the same as being able to articulate why you're good at it. I now see two bottlenecks to making something better than today's generic AI: 1. Can you *see* what better looks like in the first place? 2. Even if you can see, can you *articulate* what that is in a way that the LLM can understand and systemize? #2 is now a new craft, the art of distilling the art. The people who can do it well are the ones building standout products.show more

The strongest X Money feature right now might be... FOMO. It's still in beta. People are already acting like they're late to the party. "How do I get access?" "When is my invite coming?" "Can I use it yet?" That's usually what happens when a product hits a nerve. The rollout is gradual. The anticipation is moving at full speed. Xshow more

WHY is this thing in my bathroom and why... does it move like that?! 😭 My neighbor grabbed it with a paper towel and a few seconds later her hand started burning and turning red. We’re literally at the emergency room right now because nobody knows if this thing is actually dangerous or not 💀 I’ve NEVER seen anything like this in my life. At first I thought it was just a normal centipede… but the way it moved honestly made my skin crawl. Does anyone know what this is???show more
