Sneak peek at some stuff 🫣 This is our... local development environment where we can compare what the models generate by default to what they generate with our opinions layered in. So much more to do, but already obvious improvements from just focusing on little details like hanging punctuation, card content alignment, lighting/elevation cues, and edge highlighting of avatars.show more

What happens next? We took a photo with Lens... and asked Nano Banana to generate the next 5 seconds of a scene. While it’s not predicting the future in a literal sense, the model draws upon its vast world knowledge to generate a plausible outcome in each of these examples. It's a fun peek at how our latest AI image editing model can be used for creative forecasting and storytelling. Nano Banana is now live in Search – accessible through Lens and AI Mode – so you can try this out for yourself!show more

It’s Saturday morning so going to unabashedly crowdsource. If... any of the much smarter than me homeowners out there can listen to this sound, it’s coming from our attic periodically and sounds like a man with a leaf blower is just hanging out up there. No AC/Heat is on. It’s in a pretty inaccessible part of the attic. Local to this area of the home. Completely confused as to what it could be. Sounds like a pump or motor.show more

Troll Tuesdays! DCA culture is so important. It brings... a sense unification amongst the community, gives more supply to true believers, and we can simply show the world we mean business by putting our money where our mouth is! $Troll community this needs to be an integral part in what we do and I truly think dca’ing is what can really establish us even more as a truly legitimate project. Let’s make history!show more

Over the last 2.5 years, we've secretly assembled a... team of some of the brightest minds across cryptography, GPU programming, and ASIC design to build an internal Jolt Pro team. We surpassed our wildest dreams of what was possible, having already created a 1.61 GHz proving cluster we call a cell. Jolt Pro scales to infinity, the number of cells you can use in parallel is only limited by the size of the datacenter. This work culminated in our demo last night, where we verified a month of Ethereum in just 30 seconds. A special moment and a good start. But so much more to come.show more

Sneak peek from the lab. Work in progress of... the real-time face tracking, via iPhone, Clone v2 cinematic rig. Simple viewport capture, no lighting or shading. Effective expression capture is key for conveying emotions accurately with your Clones. Our new cinematic rig has been constructed with flexibility in mind. We've carefully refined the 52 blend shapes that drive the facial expressions, and the face controls themselves, to achieve a more natural look. We have more iteration cycles to go through before we hit our target but you can already see a great difference from v1. This upgrade opens up a world of possibilities, from high-fidelity dynamic VRMs adaptable to various platforms to virtual production capabilities and V-Tubing with improved face filters. Our goal is simple: To help eliminate technical barriers and provide a more seamless and inclusive utility for all of our community, all while ensuring quality remains at the core of everything we do.show more

Introducing Kled Enterprise V2. We’ve officially migrated the majority... of all of our enterprise contracts to not only include past catalogs but now future catalogs in their possessions. In other words Kled’s content library from some of the biggest holdings companies, orgs, and conglomerates now grows along side theirs. After this migration we have added over 300 titles, with tens of thousands of pieces of content coming our way progressively every day, month and year. Titles include: Al Capone, Fury, Mighty Mouse, Star Trek: The Animated Series, Atomic Train, Death Valley Days, Casper the Friendly Ghost, etc. We’ve attached a more complete list of content that was recently added as a result of our contract format to this thread. This new structure perfectly aligns with our vision that: companies should keep focusing on what they do best, creating great content or acquiring great content, while Kled focuses on what we do best, finding new ways to monetize their catalogs for the age of artificial intelligence.show more

Found this clip of Weston Davis in our files... from spring football. With Matt Moscona's report of his plans to return to #LSU, I'll be curious to see what a new system and coaching can do for his development. The raw talent is there but can this new staff apply it.show more

Our football family is made up of incredible young... men pursuing big dreams both on and off the field. With a little support, we can ensure that all our players have what they need every day. If you feel inspired to help, your sponsorship would mean so much to them. #RAMILYshow more

For a minute keep your politics aside, who you... voted for aside, whataboutery aside, farm fire vs fire crackers aside and ask yourself just one question.. don’t we need to do a lot more for a better, cleaner future not just for our children but our nation, would it be too much to ask from governments (irrespective of which party in power) to prioritise the air we breathe? Do we ask questions about the silence of the environment ministers, our senior ministers in the cabinet? Flew in from Mumbai today into Delhi and this is the difference. We need to do better.show more

Our game won Chroma Awards! Two people (one without... any game dev experience) used 404's tech to generate over 12,000 3D assets and create an immersive game in one month! Awards like this help us showcase how AI will have such an incredible impact on the creative industries by democratizing who can create and what is possible. We'll publish more shots of the game, how to play and where it's going - but for now, check out the official entry to learn more about the concept and creation process: And view some of the 6500+ other entries of the competition!show more

Seeing all of the little details really come together... is one of those very special and magical moments of video game creation. I love how this cinematic shot from No Rest for the Wicked's opening really came to life with beautiful stylized hand crafted hair and facial animation, striking visual effects with fluid simulation, beautiful set, ship sails flapping against the wind animated by our custom made cloth solver, painterly golden rim lighting and all of this running in our custom Moonity engine in real-time. And of course there's so much more with our story, sound and music for you all to experience! Couldn’t be more proud to work alongside such a world class team at Moon Studios and stoked to see where our April 18th Early Access launch will go from here!show more

no but the way jungkook is already leaning in... and positioning himself, literally offering his forehead, before jimin even moves to cup the back of his head just so they can smash their foreheads together while the staff is left hanging with the drawing board 😭 you can hear the audible snickers from the crew because they are so used to jikook jikooking like this 😭show more

“We used to have … most people were welcome... here if they integrated with us, they respected our laws and our culture … we loved that but we sort of lost all that so I think we’ve got to get it back” How is this different to Tory-Reform rhetoric? Rupert believes Britain was once a multiracial utopia where we all lived in harmony without any problems. Maybe from his office in the City of London that’s what it looked like but down on the ground it was always hellish.show more

I just love our dynamic Time of Day /... Weather and the feeling of being immersed in our world with the beautiful volumetric lighting, Curved World rendering (so you see much further into the distance while remaining top down) and this dense inter-connected level design with so much verticality in the main town of Sacrament in No Rest for the Wicked. Nothing like a romantic stroll at sunset in HDR! Can't wait to share more on that tomorrow!show more

Announcing our $320M Series A at a $2.3B valuation,... led by Khosla Ventures, with General Catalyst, Eric Schmidt and Jeff Bezos. General Intuition is the frontier lab for acting in space and time. We build large action foundation models trained on billions of ground truth action-labeled gameplay clips from 17M monthly active users on Medal, and push the frontier of world models to generate infinite training environments.show more

We are well aware that the Avenged Sevenfold family... consists of many incredible musicians. That’s why we wanted to lift the veil a bit and give you all some cool tools to play with. Music stems and remixes aren’t necessarily a part of the rock and metal culture, but we felt it would be fun to see what some of you can do. We have provided all the high quality stems to “Cosmic” and we wanna hear what you can do with it. If you enjoy hearing these and creating with them, we will think about doing it with more songs. The grand prize winner will have their remix played live at our next concert in front of thousands of fans. How to Enter: • Download the audio files here: • Join our discord: • Post a link to your remix from SoundCloud in the #CosmicRemix channel before August 20th. • We will pick our top 3 remixes. Contest starts today. Rule info and prize details:show more

They say cattle harm the planet, but our ranch... upcycles approximately 300,000 to 1 million pounds of cull carrots each day by turning what would have been food waste into feed for our cattle. Carrot-finishing is one part of how we raise premium American beef while making better use of resources already available in our region. This approach supports nearby farms, local ranchers, other producers, and the California agricultural economy while creating value from resources already grown in our region.show more
