Google's nano banana image model is pretty nuts -- I feel like they've fully solved character & face consistency even with pretty wild style edits 🤯 It's also interesting to see them lean into this in terms of marketing alongside the Gemini name. It's the only […] [Original post on threads.com]

My main use case for running LLMs locally has been… when the flight WiFi goes out! I’m playing through wind waker again on an emulator and got stuck a few times during the sailing sequences. It’s super convenient that you can download a model that compresses the […] [Original post on threads.com]

Foxtrot posting culturally relevant commentary comics *natively* on Threads?? 🥹🥹🥹 RE: https://www.threads.com/@foxtrot/post/DNWnIbzxndY

Loved this quote from Abundance (which I discovered from @dkthomp's newsletter): > Imagine going to sleep in 1875 in New York City and waking up thirty years later. As you shut your eyes, there is no electric lighting, Coca-Cola, basketball, or aspirin. There […] [Original post on threads.com]

A story in three parts for the Robinhood equity tokens. Pretty crazy that the SEC is ok with this!

How does this fit so perfectly?? 😂 RE: https://www.threads.com/@tvmoments/post/DL0NUkcOk8X

The Martian was an amazing film adaptation — can’t wait to see if Project Hail Mary can match it! Hyped for this 🤓 👽 Also happy for Ryan Gosling to expand his roles as well RE: https://www.threads.com/@culturecrave/post/DLh1D6Rxk8W

🪐 🪐 A BIG chunk of Fediverse functionality launches today! 🪐🪐 This has really helped me catch up on my Fediverse follows every day compared to before (when we had to visit individual profiles, or turn on new post notifications). I'm also really excited to follow news publications and other […]

Excited for this!! Tune in tomorrow for some great news/discussion 😇 RE: https://www.threads.com/@davidimel/post/DK-rDi4MDyV

February 2023, the very first Threads war room and possibly the very first sunset photo we took together 🌆 @0xjessel @marius.schulz snapping their pics as well Been a long journey since then 🥹

Survivor 50 cast was announced and it's going to be NUTS 🤯 We've got Mike White getting inspiration for White Lotus Season 4, Kyle and Kamilla who JUST finished Season 48, Ozzy the redemption island king, Colby the "no chocolate please" king, and so many other […] [Original post on threads.com]

Japan is loving Threads! 🥰 RE: https://www.threads.com/@kibori_no_konno/post/DJq5iZ9z6l0

I can't stop watching this -- it's perfect blend of surrealism and nostalgia for anyone who watched AFV back in the day. This and endless Seinfeld are the GenAI trends I can actually get behind; they are more like performance art than just AI slop 🎨 RE […]

Newark Airport has suffered extensive delays over the past two weeks, and friends and colleagues have been asking me what's going on. Here's what I've told them. https://medium.com/@gdickinson/what-is-going-on-at-newark-airport-3a75eab752b8

Big day for the NYC Threads team — we moved floors! And my ceramics pieces are now cable holders 😅

Mike White noooooo how could you 😫 Nooooo 😖 Mike White yesssss I love you 🥹 #White Lotus

Alright I take it all back — we got a TON of answers. Finale was excellent 🙌🏻

Alright Severance fans, we only have one episode left and I have many unanswered questions 😬 Someone in another thread said the show might become “cliffhanger slop” and I’m worried that’s where we are headed. I watched every single season of LOST and experienced the letdown of the finale for […]

Honored to receive a limited edition @rileytestut Pokémon business card at SXSW! Big fan of the Delta app and how it’s redefined mobile gaming (and what the Apple App Store can do) @mmccue thanks for hosting the whole Fediverse house 😇

If you are in Austin for SXSW 2025 , you just have to come to Fediverse House this weekend. https://socialwebfoundation.org/2025/02/24/social-web-foundation-at-fediverse-house/

REALLY interesting moment from @satyanadella's interview with @dwarkesh -- are we overhyped on AI investment right now? Do we need to see real economic growth and real inference revenue to justify all the supply side buildout so far? It's been over 2 years since ChatGPT came out and we all […]

Accidental Renaissance 😮‍💨 RE: https://www.threads.net/@adamschefter/post/DF5MRGIxoaS

Man of my word -- possibly the first conversion from a Threads ad? 🤔 They're a pretty unique/interesting candy too! RE: https://www.threads.net/@pcottle/post/DFX_XX7vghO

Ok Severance marketing keeps getting better — Apple released a preview of “The You You Are” book from the show and it’s *wild*. Love all these corners of the universe they’re fleshing out RE: https://www.threads.net/@nerdist/post/DFi6JHWpRL4

A side effect of Bluesky’s AT protocol is that anyone can observe (and then index) blocks between accounts. Which means you can build a website that literally shows who has blocked who, including top accounts like @mcuban, and… no one seems to care? 🤯 Never […] [Original post on threads.net]

Even Satya's tweet couldn't stop DeepSeek affecting the market 🤯📉

Open source AI is so cool -- I'm running both DeepSeek r1 and Llama 3.2 side-by-side *completely locally* for the price of charging my macbook via Ollama. No usage limits, no rate limiting, and state-of-the-art capabilities. Can't wait for this to be an option when using Cursor/VSCode

Popeye and Tintin have entered the public domain! Now I can sell fan fiction of Tintin-the-hacker and use Popeye to promote arbitrary apps... ...which I always expected to be WAY more common after these kinds of events. When Winnie the Pooh entered public […] [Original post on threads.net]

@its_lit_lee is one my favorite follows from 2024 🥹 Threads algo delivers, immaculate vibes RE: https://www.threads.net/@its_lit_lee/post/DEN17QAROv9

Alright I’ll admit I enjoyed these two movies **way** more than I expected. A self-aware romcom with unexpected twists, and Jason Bateman driving a ton of tension (in the midst of relatable airport humor). Netflix is cooking for Christmas 🎄

Some personal news: Excited to team up with @shnarfed to form A New Social, a non-profit focused on building cross-protocol services and tools for the open social web. It's time for social media to be centered around people, not platforms. Let's build bridges 🌐 […]

Super excited for this! Congrats @quillmatiq and @shnarfed -- Fediverse bridges going into the big leagues 💪🏻 Our quote: “Our goal at Threads is to help grow the Fediverse responsibly, prioritizing the success of a safe, diverse, content-rich, and interoperable community. We’re excited to […]

The quality of Google's Veo 2 video generation is *mind blowing* -- it's truly past the uncanny valley for some of the results. I feel like it's finally at the threshold where the audience won't be bothered by (or even know about!) the use of AI. I hope with this launch and the open-access […]

🪐 Linkified Fediverse usernames are fully rolled out! + bug fixes 🪐 Now that the latest Threads iOS app has been released, we now support linkified Fediverse usernames on all platforms! We also fixed a few bugs around case sensitivity and overlap with IG usernames, so the whole feature works […]
