will to code

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!

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 It's coming

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

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

Who wants Sora in their group chat 🤭

Its #friday. Let us relax, chill and build something cool. Project for today. A simple bot that will let users generate images and videos in group chats. Then convert them into stickers and Gifs.

lmao create the problem then sell the solution The guy that leaked all the sys prompts is charging the companies for his service Also his repo is at 93K stars. It was at 3.4K stars when I shared it

I wanted to create an X for tech people (devs, designers, investors, startups...) it would be such a cool platform. but then I immediately gave up thinking I needed a lot of capital for hosting images and videos... But now after looking at cloudflare's pricing... Its not impossible. The concept of "social media" has grown stale from lack of innovation. Primarily because its already making money. This needs to change. We should create our own platform that incentives our own values. The Algorithm. - Will be open source - Will be a program you can run on your computer - Imagine being able to test and refine the algorithm just like you mine Bitcoin. First you download a chunk of the data which represents posts, then you tweak some parameters and see what kind of posts the algorithm favors... then share it... it gets merged. This should be the future! Control the Algorithm, Control Fate. An algorithm is so powerful that it rewires people's brains. We need to control it. Seize the means of attention! X has to serve different kinds of people so it will never be perfect, it will always prioritize money. We must break away from its hold and build our own algorithm which we control. In this day and age tribe means everything. The algorithms of today profit by dividing people into tribes. My goal is to create a single tribe of tech people that will create invest and build the future together. Let us take the algorithms onto our own hands!! Programmers UNITE. Also another cool concept would be to wipe all content after 3 months... a clever way to save money 😅 and an interesting game theory to introduce to the system

This is the theme that I'm using They’ve got the best free theme collection I’ve ever come across

www.miki.et New look. Feels right.

Talk is cheap, build it from scratch

Its caused by an AWS outage A lot of services are impacted Except Cloudflare

Vercel and Convex are experiencing a massive outage Almost all webapps that use convex or vercel are down

Found a cool grant for solo founders, up to $1000 from Merge Club. I’m applying, and thought some of you might want to check it out too: https://merge.club/noemie

There's a seedream-v4 which is apparently their latest model 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠
