Currently attending the Berkeley Tech and AI summit - the question on everyone’s lips whether it be foundational model builders, infrastructure developers or product people is interface - there’s a tonne of space for disruption here that no-one seems to have a solid PoV on

The voice modes (not transcription) on the leading AI apps are VERY good at having a conversation - but VERY bad at providing actual substantive knowledge / insights compared to chat

Been playing around with Parallel Web Systems’s APIs—to me it seems there’ll be a tonne of niche use cases that fit them perfectly. It’s so easy to spin up something really narrow; I feel like businesses trying to go broad with their use cases can’t win in this world

Nano Banana Pro is wild. Here’s my favorite use case so far: take papers or really long articles and turn them into a detailed whiteboard photo. It’s basically the greatest compression algorithm in human history.

Nano Banana’s ability to create accurate visuals and charts is nuts—it may not be as generalisable as text/code, but it’s a huge unlock for those whose work involves clear thinking/writing AND visuals

One of the tedious things of "vibing" with LLMs is the back-and-forth: 'Move it to the right, no... a little less to the right... wait, too far left'. One solution we've been experimenting with is to generate controls directly in the chat. So if you ask for a larger cards, you

I don’t think chat will replace the GUI, but it will replace the part where you have no idea how to use the GUI and watch 10 YouTube videos on how to make a cube in blender

What if technology didn’t feel so… hollow? Some friends and I just released a manifesto about a world where tech leaves us feeling nourished (along with an evolving list of theses about how we can build it) resonantcomputing.org

Anthropic's Agent SDK and Skills seem to be them formalizing what made Claude Code great: model + agent + skills working as one system - scaling the system that's actually printing money to other domains
