This isn't a new observation [0] but this means Google will now have two Wizes, since Wiz is also the name of their internal web framework [1].

I changed gears and moved into the video games industry at the end of 2021.

I started developing a city builder called Metropolis 1998 [1], but wanted to take the genre in new directions, building on top of what modern games have to offer:

- Watch what's happening inside buildings and design your own (optional)

- Change demand to a per-business level

- Bring the pixel art 3D render aesthetic back from the dead (e.g RollerCoaster Tycoon) [2]

I just updated my Steam page with some recent snapshots from my game. Im really happy with how the game is turning out!

One of the more interesting takes I heard from a colleague, who’s in the marketing department, is that he uses the corporate approved LLM (Gemini) for “pretend work” or very basic tasks. At the same time he uses Claude on his personal account to seriously augment his job.

His rationale is he won’t let the company log his prompts and responses so they can’t build an agentic replacement for him. Corporate rules about shadow it be damned.

Only the paranoid survive I guess

Is OpenAI giving employees RSUs? What good are those under these astronomical valuations?

I think it begs the question:

Is Gemini meant to be be a revenue making product or strictly a cost centre to defend against Search and Ads erosion by OpenAI?

Why does the Gemini web app not support MCP Servers?

Incredibly sad to lear that Peter Thiel owns so much land in one of the earth’s most beautiful places.

If I was a kiwi I would be livid at the government allowing this purchase to go through.

holografix commented on Everyone’s building “async agents,” but almost no one can define them omnara.com/blog/what-is-a... · Posted by u/kmansm27

Async Agent = a LLM powered application using a well understood thinking / planning loop and reasonably clear success criteria to process a prompt that takes longer than a tacitly agreed upon amount of time so that the user needs to be notified of the outcome instead of waiting for it.

I hope they’re getting stock options and have negotiated themselves out of any bs repurchase rights.

Everyone here seems too caught up in the idea that Genie is the product, and that its purpose is to be a video game, movie, or VR environment.

That is not the goal.

The purpose of world models like Genie is to be the "imagination" of next-generation AI and robotics systems: a way for them to simulate the outcomes of potential actions in order to inform decisions.
