Google's nano banana image model is pretty nuts -- I feel like they've fully solved character & face consistency even with pretty wild style edits 🤯

It's also interesting to see them lean into this in terms of marketing alongside the Gemini name. It's the only […]

My main use case for running LLMs locally has been… when the flight WiFi goes out!

I’m playing through wind waker again on an emulator and got stuck a few times during the sailing sequences. It’s super convenient that you can download a model that compresses the […]

Loved this quote from Abundance (which I discovered from @dkthomp's newsletter):

> Imagine going to sleep in 1875 in New York City and waking up thirty years later. As you shut your eyes, there is no electric lighting, Coca-Cola, basketball, or aspirin. There […]

A story in three parts for the Robinhood equity tokens. Pretty crazy that the SEC is ok with this!

The Martian was an amazing film adaptation — can’t wait to see if Project Hail Mary can match it! Hyped for this 🤓 👽

Also happy for Ryan Gosling to expand his roles as well

I can't stop watching this -- it's perfect blend of surrealism and nostalgia for anyone who watched AFV back in the day.

This and endless Seinfeld are the GenAI trends I can actually get behind; they are more like performance art than just AI slop 🎨

Alright I take it all back — we got a TON of answers. Finale was excellent 🙌🏻
Alright Severance fans, we only have one episode left and I have many unanswered questions 😬

Someone in another thread said the show might become “cliffhanger slop” and I’m worried that’s where we are headed. I watched every single season of LOST and experienced the letdown of the finale for […]
