Leaning into their character flaws (ego, thoughtlessness) led them to their ultimate forms. Vegeta believed so hard that he was better than everyone else that it became true. Goku thinking has never helped him win a battle - only pure increases in skill and power.

Then Vegeta’s Ultra Ego form was a result of a similar process, getting over his guilt of past wrongdoings and accepting himself as the strongest and most destructive mortal around. And Goku reached Ultra Instinct by letting go of all thoughts slowing down his reactions, fighting on pure intuition.

Thinking about how Vegeta first reached Super Saiyan by leaning into his ego and entitlement. The idea that Goku could do it but he couldn’t made him so angry that he surpassed his own limits and became a Super Saiyan.

My point is that they recycle the capabilities they gain from working on one product to work with another. Whether it was before or after the airpods isn't important. They developed the capability for one product and moved it to others. Probably the same with a lot of work that went into the car.

The framing of “abandoning” feels off to me, given that they likely repurposed a lot of the sensors, cameras, and computer vision to the Vision Pro. I admire that a lot about Apple, actually: it’s also probable they first developed “audio ray tracing” for the AirPods.

Have you used Open Souls before by @kevinafischer.bsky.social? I think it would make for an incredible Berduck.

Generally just excited to be inspired by all of the ideas. With open data on the AT protocol and custom feeds, it should be an ideal platform for AI experimentation!

Yeah I'm okay with open source lagging behind and coming in with capabilities later, I just want to have those capabilities. I'm encouraged by Open-Hermes-2.5, it looks like it has function calling.

I would like more open source labs / startups to release models that are competitive with GPT-4 on unstructured -> structured data transformations, labeling, etc. I care less about chatbots and more about word calculators, I often use models to avoid writing complex regex

To be clear, I’m very happy with GPT-4 (default, turbo, and vision) but I would really like to just, you know, have options as to which model I use for cognitive tasks of moderate complexity. It’s frustrating to test a bunch of models and only see OpenAI’s premier models work.

I’m really happy for the OpenAI team to all stay together and continue their course (and hopefully get their tender offer). But ngl as someone not on the team I was kind of looking forward to talent disbursement so we’d get more serious competitors.

Ok now that OpenAI is back together I would really like for other AI labs / startups to release APIs for models that are anywhere near as good as GPT-4 so I’m not so dependent on them. I’d just like more serious, out-of-the-box working competition.

Dog owners, I have a problem. Bennie's **highly accurate** internal clock says that his first dinner is at 5:00 pm, and his second is at 9:00 pm. His clock does not recognize daylight savings time. He's sulking. Would you feed him an hour earlier to satiate the beast?

I’m not an AI Accelerationist, but I do find it impossible to imagine fixing all bugs and exploits ahead of time, before deploying to users, for pretty much any software, much less something as intuition busting and complex as AI. E/acc nah, but definitely not a doomer.

Semantic search is awesome, locally generated embeddings aren't much worse than OpenAI embeddings, and I doubt HyDE requires more capabilities than models like Mistral 7b. All together, I can picture intelligent knowledge management tooling that keeps all data on device

The practical limitation right now is like... am I gonna ask my user to download a 15 gigabyte app with everything packaged together? Maybe full local-first is opt-in, so users aren't required to download everything required upfront. Use servers as the default.

I wish more RAG and Agent apps would let me point at stuff on the screen. Like highlight text or draw a rectangle on the screen, and say "hey, change *that*" or "search for things like *this.*" Don't make me type everything into a box, let me point at stuff.

Most people never revisit their notes. They make decisions and come up with ideas based on recent memory, vs. a lifetime of experience and insight.

It would be OP but if I could cast any Baldur's Gate 3 spell IRL, "guidance" would be high on my list (besides ones that would let me heal anything for anyone once per day, ofc). Just imagine having that extra 1d4 on all of your ability checks 🤯

To be fair to @pfrazee.com I don't care whether that's a separate field or not.
To @why.bsky.team's point, I think there should be an open-ended string array field people can use for whatever to avoid creating too many fields in the standard lexicon. So, maybe a moderation field and a labels field.

I'm hoping for user generated labels outside of moderation purposes catches on, turning Bluesky into more of a community curated knowledge graph.

Aside: I like how this version of the meme does not have an IQ bell curve in it. To me, the image evokes someone trying to level up from their simple system, struggling to hold a bunch of moving parts together, and then defaulting to the simple system with what they learned.

People can always choose to use your product, an alternative, or nothing at all. When you're acquiring new users, you are competing against whatever they were doing prior.
In this piece, I discuss how we can lower the risk of user default.

Progressive reduction: Taking the training wheels off for skilled users.
For many apps, like Excel, Figma, and IDEs, a full-blown GUI is more useful for beginners. Eventually, that visual info becomes clutter. Minimalism calms & empowers advanced users.

It’s kind of crazy that I can’t open up a playlist in Spotify or Apple Music and type into a text box “duplicate this playlist but filter to only include instrumental songs.” Hook an LLM up with API access, shouldn’t be that hard 🤷♂️
