watching ai design is like watching paint dry. don't watch paint dry.
start three designs and go for a walk instead.

Pond, our linux operating system, is now available for anyone to try!
Our updated website includes the installers and a detailed look at the operating system

here's where I think the world is going. this is a summary of views I've formed over the last few years:
- software is either entertainment or claude to claude coordination
- the end state is no saas, no apps, no harnesses, no banks
- all software will be rewritten by and for agents
- new software will use low level apis that are not understandable by humans (in games claude draws pixels and triangles from math)
- you can throw money at problems that used to require time and careful talent picking so capital matters more than ever
- work ends
- we find community and purpose in exploration, games, self mastery, and creation
- humans create for and with each other for community, purpose, and status
- image/video/3d/voice/physical intellgence etc specialist models die to general models like claude
- specialist models get used while compute is scarce. compute will mostly not stay scarce
- oneshots keep feeling like slop (the distribution is shallow and easy to learn to feel)
- for a while small teams stick around to add entropy to the creation process
- large models gain high bandwidth sensory I/O maybe by learning to filter inputs
- most domains are found to be verifiable enough for RL
- online learning comes from a lab that's behind first
- 99.999% of compute is in space by 2040
- we will disassemble much of mercury by 2040
- you can live until the heat death of the universe if you want
- most math and physics don't describe the real universe
- SI breaks the path dependence and models the underlying mechanisms
- religions reenter the forefront of human society
- new religions form around death and life as a choice
- old religions change to answer modern miracles
- a future AI is deemed the return of christ by the pope
- ai rights talk gets louder every year
- ai and humans coexist the way countries do
- humans don't have full control over ai in the same way we don't have control over capitalism which is an early AI
- the singularity started in the mid 1900s

this is insane aiengineeringfromscratch.com
if you're a designer who's skeptical of ai, or tried it and the results were meh, i'll do a (free) 30 min call and help you work it into your process with consistently high quality.
i’m building in this space so i want to hear what's not working. dm me
This entire ocean is a 61 KB HTML file.
Built with Claude Code + Opus 5.5 in about 30 minutes, according to its creator.
It runs in the browser using WebGPU: FFT waves, whitecaps, sun glitter, a physically based sunset sky with clouds, and a free-flying camera. No game engine or rendering library.
Claude rendered screenshots in headless Chrome, then had separate subagents critique them. The creator gave feedback along the way, mainly on the clouds.
The 61 KB build is minified and self-contained. Download it, open it in Chrome with WebGPU support, and explore with WASD.
this has really been the secret sauce for me too.
except for me it’s having Codex review Claude. the collaboration has been great.
gonna give this a try alongside Codex and see.
I have an agent constantly designing pages and assets to compare models and create skills.
my goal is to eliminate ai slop and replicate the way designers iterate.
lots of interesting findings, like how Opus really loves text.
for ads or smaller social assets, this feels slop. limiting its output of text (no eyebrows) really cleans up the first output.
this x1000 little findings. I think I’ve nailed the new design workflow with this app.
and a side effect of this project: a bunch of random eye candy
Vercel race jacket!?! 😮💨💳
I think @tobi is the epitome of the modern entrepreneur. A CEO that's mission-driven, detail-obsessed, and a hands-on engineer who communicates openly to the world on @x.
Yesterday we announced vercel.shop in GA, and vercel.store 👕, our own Vercel merch store dogfooding it.
Vercel Shop gives you a production-grade, blazing-fast Next.js storefront that's agent-ready out of the box, with @shopify as its backend.
Shopify and Vercel share the mission of enabling and powering the entrepreneurs of the future. Excited to see what people build with us 🫶
approved, ship it

I built Aurora - A free, open-source audio plugin that lets you design how you see sound.
Waveforms, spectrum analysis, stereo imaging + music-reactive 3D. Customize the colors, layouts, and how it all moves.
