FINALLY! LAUNCH DAY! 🚀 Six months ago, I almost quit after I lost my co-founder. Instead, I went full Founder Mode and bootstrapped this from the ground up. Introducing PicStudio AI — Portraits that look 100% real. Made in the USA 🇺🇸

Tiny-ass team doing big-ole things.
Crazy week of slinging pixels, code, and product experiences nonstop at @digg. Massive appreciation to @maubrowncow @addison and @kevinrose. We're just getting this thing started.

I've been using Jev for all kinds of things. This morning I had a realization I kind of like: Use it to make non-black-box embeddings. Instead of an embedding model spitting out 1,536 numbers that mean nothing, you ask Jev questions about each document. The answers become the vector. An email in Cora: "I got charged twice this month, pls fix asap" [is_customer, urgent, about_billing, needs_reply] [1.0, 0.9, 1.0, 1.0] A newsletter: [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.1] A friend asking about lunch: [0.0, 0.1, 0.0, 0.7] Then it's just old-school cosine similarity search. Search "billing issues from customers" as [1, 0.5, 1, 0.5] and the double charge comes out on top. Same idea for our articles at Every: [is_tutorial, about_ai, contrarian, beginner_friendly] Or support tickets: [is_bug, angry, churn_risk, enterprise] Every number has a name, so you can see why something matched. Need a new dimension? Add a question. Want urgent stuff first? Change the query vector. Trying this in @CoraComputer now to make search fast.

These Seinfeld bloopers are pretty brilliant, especially the one with Janeane Garofalo

Google needs to buy Instinct, they need that product DNA, Notebook isn't going to cut it. Instinct, Muse, Grok Bot, etc., are social ai. I've seen this play out before... I was at Google+ for 3-months running mobile, I tried buy instagram but I was two steps down from Larry, so I didn't have the pull (Kevin had told me Zuck was sniffing around), my SVP said it was 'too expensive.'.. killed me. I bounced to Google Ventures.

Not everyone is self-motivated. If you have friends trying to create new things, encourage them. It goes a long way. Most of my projects I have stuck with, someone said something they probably have no idea they were a big reason I stuck with it.

Had the same thought. But then again, how many of these songs, apps, images, videos will ever be looked at again? Humans are just obsessed with the slot machine right now.
honest question: how many of these astra games or blender scenes will be used outside of x posts (even by those making them) videos of games that get 10x the views then they do plays it's kind of a weird modern art. new model, what draws attention, made for display

There’s nothing more respectable than someone who shows up every day to do the work 💪🏻 And that consistency paired with talent? 😮‍💨

We’re ending our partnership with Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX. Under our proposal, Cursor’s direct access to our models would end on November 12. We know that the people most affected by this decision are the developers who rely on OpenAI models in Cursor. We care about their experience in this transition and we’re ready to go above and beyond to support them. openai.com/index/our-decisio…

Not sure I totally believe this yet, but I keep coming back to this thought… Social media trained us to never stop consuming. AI might be training us to never stop making. Same restless feeling. It just looks productive now.
