Key takeaways from President Xi's speech in his first ever appearance at the World AI Conference in Shanghai: - Started the speech by referring to his signature maxim, "great changes unseen in a century are unfolding across the world" - Said that the world has "entered an unprecedented period of active innovation on AI technology", which means "great opportunities as well as challenges for governance” - reaffirmed commitment to open source to promote AI "openness and win-win" - warns against "over stretching" the concept of national security as applied to AI where one country's national security is prioritised over others - China opposes emergence of “new historical injustices” in AI (one of the most strongly worded parts of the speech) - China in next 5 years will provide 5000 opportunities to developing countries in "AI training and seminar programmes" and "cooperation centres" - names ASEAN, League of Arab States, African Union, CELAC, SCO and BRICS

Useful thread. But I mean — the variety of food of what Americans eat can be a bit broader. Just saying. In China, one would be asking about the best dai pai dong, the best clay pot rice, the best brine dishes, the best stir fry, the best coconut chicken, the best Yunnan bistro etc. Even for breakfast, you got congee, Cheung fun, dim sum etc.
In SF next week: Best new sushi Best new burger Best new breakfast/brunch Best new coffee [ best being last three years ]

With some games/experiences system design people at Stanford for a GSB lecture, and the conclusion is Stanford itself may be the best game system one can reference. 🤠🤠🤠

Catching them new MacBook Neo in the store. Love the smallness. Love my 13inch back in the day. But wish these Mac Neo are even lighter.

Mission Dolores Park at Sunset. So glad I finally got out of SF Downtown yesterday as GDC wraps. Still my favorite city in the US despite all its struggles over the past few years.

When San Francisco gets sun, it’s awesome. Question for the locals: which month of the year does SF have the worst weather?

US diner breakfast culture and Hong Kong Chaan Chan Teng breakfast culture are just the best. Always love a place with a big breakfast culture. Am at Mel's Drive-In in San Francisco. Am in town for GDC.

Have arrived in the Bay Area for GDC this year. Drove with a friend to Half Moon Bay for Breakwater Barbecue and visited this Crypto Punks show at Palo Alto.

What a franchise. Did Blake Griffin so dirty and now gutted Chris Paul in his sleep… Just wow. Who would want their jerseys on those rafters?

New Black Myth title—officially unveiled today! No ghosts walked the earth till born of human heart; Onstage and off, immortals fall to fiends—their perfected art. Indoors and out, the judge is bound by the same household ties; The sun is veiled, the moon unmoved—who decrees who lives and who dies? I turn from worldly tangles and their codes, from glories smeared with sleight. I raise my sword—I raise it to fight; With it, I shall judge wrong and right! Developed by Game Science, "Black Myth: Zhong Kui"—the second entry in the #BlackMyth series—was officially unveiled today with its first CG teaser trailer, and simultaneously debuted during Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025. This single-player action role-playing game draws its primary creative inspiration from the famed Chinese folk figure "Zhong Kui". As the project is still in early development, no in-game footage is available at this time. Official website: gamesci.cn/zhongkui

Elon will be getting ahead faster than anyone else in Video AI at this rate as he leverages all these user-generated training.
For most people, the best use of the @Grok app is turning old photos into videos, seeing old friends and family members come to life

Stellan Skarsgård did not receive an #Emmy nomination for ANDOR Season 2 😡 “Now there’s a whole galaxy out there waiting to disgust you….”
