Talk is cheap, build it from scratch
While coding I can't help but think about what Karpathy said.
When it comes time to write code, all your abstractions fall apart. Talk is a cheap token. It never converts well into action. The most expensive token is experience
Always Always Always get your hands dirty in the nitty gritty
Only by building it from scratch can you understand it
And the funny thing is that when your abstractions collapse which they always do you just throw your hands in the air and say "its too complicated", "i tried"
The Joy of suffering >> >>
The Joy of acquiring expensive tokens and saying yes I earned this with my own inference

Right now most of AI Video is brainrot
However, as soon as the tools mature, it will be pure entertainment (higher quality than tiktok could ever dream of)
Think endless funny and amazing fan made spin offs or scenarios involving your favorite tv shows, authors, philosophers and characters

here's the bot @the_image_gen_bot Unfortunately no sora 2 I spent a lot of time trying to make it work with deno but it just didn't. But it's fine, I'll build it with a different stack next friday
Working on this literally validated my current project. Most of the time 99% (4+ hours) was wasted on getting used to the new deno console plus the model apis quirks....
My new app eliminates all of this, had I been using my own service I would've finished the bot in <45 mins with sora 2 support and many other generative media features
That's why this week I'll try to make the API work and on Friday I'll build the bot on my own infra!

An algorithm is so powerful that it rewires people's brains. We need to control it. Seize the means of attention!
We could do it better and it wouldn't even be that difficult

This week I welcome two of the most important technologists in any field. Jeff Dean is Google's Chief Scientist, and through 25 years at the company, has worked on basically the most transformative systems in modern computing: from MapReduce, BigTable, Tensorflow…
Image gen is so addictive 🫠
And I'm not even half decent at it
It fails a lot to capture what I have in mind and that makes me want to create my own art.
And I think this will be the case for most people as well.
> people start using image gen models
> the models stimulate their imagination
> ai fails to fully capture their vision
> people learn how to create art ✨
Whose building the ai that teaches people how to "art"

I've been a pixlr user for a while now
Well today I just learned that its all just a <canvas>. Its like they took something extremely flexible and molded it... and then that molded my mental model of how I edited images. I've accepted it as a given without ever questioning it for years now.
The key lesson here is that I can make my own <canvas> with my own rules. There are no rules.

So lets chill and build something
For today I want to build a humble calculator that does basic arithmetic with rust + gpui
