I found a new unlock with Flux - running the prompt through an LLM first. This optimizes the language (up to 512 tokens) resulting in a better, more detailed image. In this case using @GroqInc qwq model.
Perhaps because it borders on completely useless. Microsoft's Copilot AI assistant for consumers is struggling to gain traction against the far more popular ChatGPT from OpenAI. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
If you needed more proof that @sudowrite is serious about writing, look no further than this beautifully written JD. How can anyone read this and not apply?
I’m hiring a product designer for Sudowrite. This is a dream job for a designer who loves to write. The beginning of the listing is… a mini therapy sesh for me. You’d think it’d be chill after that. But no, it goes on to talk about our company cult… sudowrite.com/jobs/designer
Exciting work from the Shisa team.
We're incredibly proud to release the newest and most powerful member of our open, bilingual (JA/EN) Shisa V2 family: Llama 3.1 Shisa V2 405B The strongest model ever trained in Japan, it points to how even small Japanese AI labs can compete globally! 🤗 huggingface.co/shisa-ai/shisa…
We are getting close to replacing actors. And special effects like this can be made for next to nothing. Interestingly, the dinosaurs still have some hallmarks of bad cgi, because they probably trained on video with bad cgi!
Used Veo 3 to imagine if Jurassic Park was real. This entire thing is AI! Things are gonna get weird #Veo3 #ai #JurassicPark #JurassicWorld
We just announced Shisa V2. Top SOTA Japanese LLM's. They're all public, and open source. Kick the tires! We've helped every major model improve their Japanese benchmarks. Our Model's have been dowloaded over 1 Million times on Hugging Face!

o3 hallucinations are bit concerning. Was trying to revise a Japanese document where a "large-scale pilot" was mentioned, and o3's revision just inserted a made-up number. When I asked it where it came from, o3 says 3500 just seemed like the appropriate number.
On the latest @sharptechpod, a nice point about how the iPhone, and probably much of the U.S. tech sector, would have never existed without China. Whether or not you think this is something that needs to be corrected, the current administration's approach could not be worse for…
Unless you as a startup are competing head to head with other foundation models, it seems like the best place to be is in the application layer, where you can swap in/out models as they get better, and you retain customers getting them hooked on your unique workflows. You then…
I think the Ishiba administration is taking the right approach in their wait-and-see response to the Trump tariffs. They don’t need to raise tariffs, and by not doing so, are in a much stronger moral position. It further increases the attractiveness of the country.
I think you are misunderstanding what this tech demo actually is, but I will engage with what I think your gripe is — AI tooling trivializing the skillsets of programmers, artists, and designers. My first games involved hand assembling machine code and turning graph paper…
No matter how long I live here, there is one thing I just cannot adjust to - showing negative price movement in green font.
My neighbor’s new Lexus LX was stolen right from their driveway in the middle of the night. Seems to be happening more these days.
Vibe coding just got a whole lot better with Gemini 2.5 in Cursor. Maybe it is the context window, but the walls I was hitting before with Claude 3.7 are just gone. Gemini just seems so much more capable.
How much is Ghibli Studios getting paid for all this ChatGPT image generation is a fair question. But what is the value of all of this exposure to Ghibli is an equally valid question.
