Coding agents are tools for describing and manipulating the world, not just software. I left Qwen3.8-Max running all day with the goal of generating a five min National Geographic style documentary about Hall Beach, Nunavut, a map dot I saw on the plane home from London. It wrote a... show more

@illscience my guess its natively multimodal and more agentic than gemini

@noahhorner_ Actually wanted to try the long horizon capabilities, and this was my test case, it was really, really good. The most surprising bit, though, was how compelling of a storyteller it is. I tried the same thing with other models, and the story just wasn’t nearly as good

The framing is exactly right. And once you accept that agents manipulate real state: files, repos, deployed services, the next question is auditability. I built Campfire ( around this. Every agent session records as JSONL at full fidelity. You can replay any session at up to 8x speed and watch what the agent described and changed, step by step. Fork any session at any message index into an isolated git worktree to branch the world state and run the variant. The manipulation is real. The record of it should be too.

Love it. Looking forward to the fan fic marketplace where co's can license their IP to let people create new series/sequals to their favorite movies/shows/books with AI like this. Then trailers get autogenerated as previews and the good ones get watched/remixed by other diehard fans. The IP holders get a of everything and attractive royalties from the ones that get popular. And of course reserve rights to approve/deny what doesn't meet their standards, pay the best creators to reuse the best story lines, etc. We all know diehard fans who'd easy pay $500+ for new seasons of their favorite shows/movies/books.

Anish Acharya: We're going to see a "YouTube moment for software": "If you think about YouTube 20 years ago—we had lots of video and lots of television, and it was high production quality, and it wasn't clear that we needed more and 20 years later, YouTube's a $550 billion enterprise that would be one of the biggest companies in the world if it was independent." "I think the same thing is going to happen for software. People want to make software, and for the first time they can—and they can distribute it and they can consume it." "Sometimes it's going to be important software. Sometimes it's going to be totally trivial. It's going to be software for a bachelor party weekend, software for a joke, software for a prompt. We have this sort of seriousness about software that we had about video and television 20 years ago." "Now it's like—I just took a video on my phone. It's going to be like—I just made an app on my phone. Same energy." Anish Acharya on BILLIONS with Guillaume Moubeche

"I think among a lot of Democrats there's this kind of what psychologists would call 'learned helplessness' where you just think, 'Well we can't do anything about it. We have to wait till 2029' ... In New York with some people it's just like, 'Well we just have to do our things in New York and not worry about the rest of the country.' It does not work that way. We are one country. Our democracy can rise or fall on what this man is doing. And, it's not just our democracy. ... It directly affects our lives. The stability of our economy depends on the belief in the rule of law that people think we have a stable legal system, and it's hard to believe that today"

I felt on the up all weekend and the team have done a really amazing job just really refining the car and for us to be up there battling and also to have a good battle with Max as well, you know, finally. So I'm really, really grateful and yeah, just so, so happy. I love this job. It's like the greatest, it's the greatest show in the world and I'll never take that for granted."

I gave Fable my project from last year and it just knocked it out of the park. Creating a FF7-style game world with gpt-image-2, detecting a navmesh, pre-fetching connecting routes on the overall map, and at the edge of the map it's building new scenes on the fly. 🤯

My first @NotebookLM cinematic video. AI news of the day. And YOU created it! I had my AI from read tens of thousands of posts from across the entire AI community here on X. Thanks Brayden Levangie. Then write a script that I sent to Notebook LM, which just today turned on a new "cinematic" mode for making videos this way. What do you think? I am so impressed. And there's a separate audio podcast and a mind map made by Notebook LM too.

TJ Miller Reveals Ryan Reynolds Personally Reached Out to Him After His Comments Made Headlines. “He emailed me the next day and kind of said, ‘This is…’ And it was it was a misunderstanding.” “So I emailed him back, and now it’s like fine.” “It was just me telling a story from on set that I thought was weird. That was it.” “But I just wasn’t thinking about how the media will immediately…” “I think it was very cool for him to say, ‘Hey, you know, I just heard on the show that you were upset about this.’” “And I kind of said, ‘You know, I’m not.’ And then we sort of just hashed it out really quickly.” “He is so funny, which I always maintain, and he’s so amazing in those movies.” “I said all these complimentary things, and none of that shows up.” “Because that’s the clickbait.”

"This is a video which we all kind of hated doing, I have to say, at the time, and it's for a song called 'It's A Hard Life' - one of Freddie's most beautiful songs, I think, 'It's A Hard Life'. It's about the pain of love, really, but Freddie chose to make a kind of spoof video... We got bored shitless. Roger and Deacy completely hated this whole thing and, I guess, with the benefit of hindsight, I think it actually was a good decision - we had an unwritten law that whoever wrote the song would decide the theme for the video, so Freddie wrote this song, so he got the choice, and we didn't like it at the time, but I kind of like it now, because I think it gets the message across quite well, in a sense." - Dr. Brian May #FreddieMercury #Queen

arXiv Papers → LLM Artifacts This is how I keep up with AI research now. It's like having access to the most personalized arXiv feed. Automations run everyday to curate papers based a set of rules and insights. Curated papers are indexed and power the artifacts. Agent convert papers to LLM wikis (based on Andrej Karpathy idea), which means insights are indexed and easily searchable and reusable. I feel like LLM Artifacts is the natural evolution to LLM Wikis. It's about making that knowledge actionable. Artifacts are customizable via agents. Artifacts can interact with agents and are dynamic in nature. Anything can be injected into the artifact as needed (insights, components, suggested experiments, action items, etc). I can take action on Artifact items with my agent orchestrator (Electron app). So I can ask questions about any paper and automate experiments in the background right from within the artifact. This is more than a visual. It's not a single prompt. It's several proactive agents coordinating to surface interesting facts, knowledge, and insights that I can act on a researcher. Agents are not just for generating useful artifacts, they are useful to keep learning and staying on the cutting edge of knowledge. Stay tuned for more.

I just created this 36-second video in just five minutes with a simple prompt using Agent Mode in Grok Imagine All it took was a simple prompt, and it was made in just five minutes With a single image, it can generate matching scenes from different angles, build a full visual storyline, and even add subtitles. Grok Imagine Agent is one of the best tools for visual storytelling It's amazing how quickly you can now bring an idea to life just by expressing it in a few words The barrier between imagination and creation is getting smaller every day

And that for me, made that day a thousand times bigger than it would have been if it was just a normal, normal win" 🥺

🚨| Sir Lewis Hamilton asked about his radio message from practice, and whether he is confident in the car for tomorrow. "Well, I mean, we'll work on it. I think it's just the way of this track, you know. It's a massively demanding circuit. It's amazing to drive. But getting the right balance, and I think, interestingly, there's something... I think it's just something in how this car is set up. There's kind of some similarities to what I felt last year, so we're just working on that." "So I'm confident overnight we can find something and get it to a better place. But it's an awesome circuit. But you need to be able to sit on the rear and be comfortable that it's going to stay with you. And today I had the snaps. It just can't seem to match the other guys. So I think we'll do a deep dive tonight. We'll get some interesting readings from the simulator. But I feel like I've got a bit of a north star. It's just how do we get there. And so we're going to try and figure that out." F1 2026 || Japan

WAN 3.0 just changed how I think about AI video. I tested the Text to Video model on the Pika API Club. I gave it a prompt describing a woman on a motorbike riding into the horizon at dusk, and it delivered a full 30 second cinematic scene with native audio baked in and precise motion from start to finish. I did not have to stitch anything together or run a separate audio pass. It just handled everything. I used it on the Pika API Club at 35% off other platforms and off the official price. You can give a try here:

#AustrianGP 🇦🇹 | Lewis Hamilton talks about his day post Barcelona win: “When I got home I just saw these amazing videos from all my fans, so I just spent hours reposting everything that I saw. It was very emotional…” “Then back down to ground zero and back on the grind. It took a couple of days to get back to ground zero, back with the focus on trying to arrive with the same energy and the same focus.” “Really really proud of the team. To come here, with our first step, on the engine side, it’s a small step, but we’ll take it. It’s all about one foot in front of the other.”

A good round tomorrow and he’d finish inside the playoff positions after making just 5 starts. After the round, he spoke about how important it was to play well today: “Yeah, it's just good for my confidence. It's hard not to think about that spot you're in, but I mean every shot matters. So just giving it my all on every shot and just try and go and put up a good score.” He also spoke about how he’ll deal with the pressure tomorrow: “Yeah, I mean, I'll just try not to think about it too much. At the end of the day it's an uncontrollable and if I go play well I can hopefully be inside of that top-70.” Jackson had a lot of hype coming out of college and earning a PGA Tour card via the University system, but he’s living up to it so far.
