I just had such an amazing conversation with @demishassabis about how AI works under the hood, the future of the technology, and how we ensure people can feel comfortable using it. Can’t wait to share it with you!
This is crazy. They figured out how to create threads that have touchscreen LEDs in them and have started weaving them directly into clothes. Now any piece of clothing can be a touchscreen display.

@mreflow shouted out my toilet post which was a pleasant surprise!
A couple comments:
- Yes, it was built in blender. I've never touched blender in my life, but Claude pulled it off for me.
- Yes, it took a couple steps before getting to this version I liked. Before I went to bed, I'd asked for preview frames and I did NOT like the way they looked. So I fed Claude references and told it exactly what it should look like, and when I woke up I was met with a nice looking sequence!
- The hand drawn font you see is actually a custom one I had Claude build from Chuck's handwriting. Now that AI editing is a thing, I'm slowly starting to notice some of the tells...and the font is one of them.
So to make my AI sequences feel less AI and more on brand for the channel, I just fed Claude writing samples and it made a .ttf file for Chuck's handwriting that I can use in edits whenever I need to.
(I kinda wanna do the same for my handwriting...)
But yeah. Four weeks ago, I was on here asking y’all how to connect Claude to Premiere.
Now it’s rendering Blender sequences while I sleep! 😆
AI is absolutely nuts.
he Realbotix Echo is for uh... Hospitality use, clinics, and education... And I'm sure that's ALL they'll be used for.
Simulon 2.0 is pretty crazy. You place objects virtually in the physical space around you and then actually interact with them. @Simulon
These guys built the speeder bike from Return of the Jedi in real-life. Now this is not super new. However, they are actually getting ready to sell them now so, soon, anyone (with an extra $880k lying around) could grab one.
Sharing because it feels like an awesome opportunity for someone and maybe someone in my network is the perfect fit...
Looking for a developer (who happens to be great at comms) to lead comms for the Claude developer platform:

Here's a world model similar to Genie 4 that's actually open-source and available to test right now...
Came across these glasses yesterday from SubVocal and, since I'm making videos about the closest stuff I've come across, I made a quick video about them.
More details for the interested: nitter.cf/AarushYadav47/status/2…
We’ve raised $1.3M from YC & Afore Capital so you never have to type or speak again.
Typing is slow. Talking into your computer is awkward. Subvocal fixes both
Our glasses give you the speed of speech without you making a sound or touching a keyboard.
It tracks your internal speech muscles with non-contact sensing and decodes silent, almost invisible mouthing into text at more than 200 words/min.
Pre-orders are now live at:

When a humanoid robot and drone become best friends.
This isn't super new but I thought it was pretty cool.
In my latest YouTube video, I sat down with @nateherk and asked him to breakdown 3 of his favorite AI workflows. He explained how AI edits his videos, how he's built an automated IG account, and, my favorite, he shared his Roast Room.

By popular request, you can now text your dot.
Give it a task to take off your plate or something to keep an eye on, using text, photos, or even voice notes. It will text you proactively with relevant updates.
Safe, secure texting via iMessage or RCS. You’re the only one who can text your dot, and your dot can only text you. Rolling out now as a preview for Pro users in the US.
If you haven't seen my video with @bilawalsidhu about God's Eye View, definitely check it out.
Here's my 9th video in 14-days (trying to post 15 over 30-days to meet X's video kickstart requirements). For some reason, the backend shows I've only posted 5. 🤷♂️
Google's latest model (which is announced but not publicly available yet) just jumped into the lead. Everyone talks about Google dropping the ball. I keep saying over and over again, never count out Google.
Introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, it's a big jump over Argon which we released just 2 weeks ago.
Gemini 4 Carbon is SOTA on cyber, long horizon tasks, ranks #1 on Artificial Analysis V5, significantly improves on usability in domains like coding, and is more aligned.
Genie 4 is pretty impressive. I find the visuals to be very realistic and high-quality. The ability to prompt anything into the world and have it just appear opens up all sorts of possibilities to steer a scene in whatever direction you want.
I found it really difficult to control the object on the screen, the monkey, the car, and the bi-plane all sort of ignored my attempts to steer them. There was also some temporal coherence issues where I'd turn around and face a different direction and then return to my original position and things would have changed. The Mustang, for instance, changed directions when I turned around. When it drove off later in the scene, it turned into a taxi... Little things like that change over time.
Visually, however, it's really impressive. (IMO)
This anti-drone drone is wild.
This is video 8 of 15 during my 15-videos in 30-days. Each video I'm testing letting AI do more and more on the edit. Ideally, over the next couple weeks, you'll see the videos improve.
