While you’re not wrong, visually the first 3-5 seconds definitely can look quite ai-gen The bar for “normal high quality” video production is now essentially AI-coded. This is something that filmmakers and animators now have to really consider and push to differentiate from Real will have to lean much more heavily into raw/authentic, and film in ways that cannot (yet) easily be replicated with ai-gen x.com/azadux/status/…

Kinda wild how this art style is now so “ai-gen coded” animation studios need to differentiate asap

Haha. I also totally forgot about mine (had tried submitting like 2 months ago) and didn’t feel like following up. I accepted some App Store Connect cert 2 days ago and I guess it auto launched it as a result, so here we are I want every device I have to show me what wattage it’s negotiating!

See your MacBook’s charging wattage as a little widget in the macOS menu bar apps.apple.com/us/app/menu-ba…

@IntuitMachine This is a nothing burger. 20ms is shorter than how long a phoneme is pronounced for so you’re essentially hearing 90% of normal speech at 20ms reversed

@archedark_ @nrol_ling @OrukLabs The “curse of knowledge” means 2nd listen is invalid as you already know the phrase and are primed to hear it

@UploadVR It’s so nicely lit

It’s definitely too easy to just get into archiving/organizing and never using any of it. So I suppose filtering yourself at the bookmarking step is helpful, on how likely something is in terms of future helpfulness. I do find myself referring back to my bookmarks often as a result

The amount of cool tools, projects, and repos that hit my timeline is so high I love Twitter for this. I bookmark like 10 posts a day these days

earshot v0.3 is out! added: - a library of 201 sounds, all made with code - earshot kit can create a whole sound kit - earshot sfx times a sound to the exact frame (improved) plus earshot is now used in cinetic (skill for creating motion design) will continue improving it!

@jcjgraham Incredible

@dreamwieber Agreed. And early shitty 6 finger melted face ai art will be the CRT pixel art nostalgia

I try to share things that I think is relevant for my followers, but my feed is tuned to a lot of things that are interesting to me. I also find the timeline highly sensitive to what you like. It can over index on liked things too, in which case you have to tap on tweets and say not interested

@LexnLin Woah

@AdamCohen8 Appreciate the intro! OEL sounds super interesting- please post links/tweets about it!

Claude Opus 5.5 just reverse-engineered my CarPlay... 1 voice command + 5 min = total control: CarPlay that obeys me, ads skipped, any app on the dash and that’s just the beginning here’s the full guide step by step: step 1 → plug your iPhone into the car and put your laptop on the same hotspot step 2 → paste the prompt below into Claude Code with a photo of your head unit step 3 → unlock the hidden engineering menu - Claude tells you the exact button combo on the wheel step 4 → hit “allow” on the screen once - last time you lift a finger step 5 → say “Hey Claude, open the Roadster launch on CarPlay” - it opens YouTube, types the search, hits play step 6 → add any app straight from GitHub - no App Store, no CarPlay whitelist the result: you talk, the dash moves. anything you can say, your car can do... p.s: works on almost any CarPlay head unit. Mine in the video is a BMW iDrive Try it now, you’re welcome. Then read the article below on how to reverse-engineer anything:

NBA Street Vol. 2 in Mixed Reality and in “Tabletop” mode Expect this sooner than later -Lance Sweatpants aka The ModFather

This week, with Reverse Engineer Anything has really felt like a crazy unique moment in time I love that we’re all just hacking into our consumer electronics and removing the features we hate I wonder how companies will respond. I can’t imagine things being this “hackable” in the not so distant future

Hacked my TV with Claude Code today No more ads, bloatware, spyware or laggy UI I also got a beautiful screensaver with my revenue, calendar, weather, and notifications for new Stripe payments It was super easy! I sent it the listing for my tv, asked "can you hack this?" And

there’s a ridiculous trend going viral on tiktok right now called “malfoid” a harry potter fanfic story where draco malfoy is a girl and in an enemies-to-lovers story line with harry the AI videos are so good and it’s actively shifting AI sentiment on tiktok to positive (was historically super negative)

The outpouring of interest in our paper has been … a bit insane. May I make four points? 1. We have not shown that “consciousness has a frame rate.” I can see why people draw this conclusion: we report that inferotemporal and prefrontal cortex alternate between conscious and suppressed states roughly every 60 ms during binocular rivalry. Consciousness depends on many brain areas, and our paper reports results from only a few select nodes. We still don’t know how conscious access works--the actual recipe for generating conscious experience. What we have shown is that deep in the brain there is an extremely strong signal, rich enough to reconstruct a high-dimensional face in detail, that is inaccessible to consciousness. As I argued in the original tweet, this makes the problem of conscious access a lot more experimentally tractable. But to claim “consciousness has a frame rate,” one would need to have actually solved the mechanism for conscious access and shown that this mechanism operates at a frame rate. While we currently don’t know conclusively one way or the other (see VanRullen & Koch, 2003 for a review of positive evidence), I personally am skeptical that consciousness has a frame rate. I believe the brain, within posterior parietal cortex, has continuous tracking mechanisms that actively represent the persistence of matter, including ourselves as physical bodies. The coupling between these persistent tracking processes and feature representations across the brain (like those in face patches) is, I think, the essential mechanism of conscious access. This coupling need not happen at the rate of inferotemporal alternations (and inferotemporal cortex itself may not even alternate outside of the artificial situation of binocular rivalry). As an analogy: imagine the area crucial for conscious access holding a steady drone note, while inferotemporal cortex alternates between two notes, one in harmony and one dissonant. Inferotemporal content might couple to the drone only at moments of harmony, yet experience would still be continuous, because the drone itself (the tracking process that I believe is at the core of conscious perception) never stops. And areas without conflicting content, like auditory cortex during visual rivalry, could stay in continuous harmony with the drone. In sum, there is no reason to conclude from our study that consciousness is discrete, with a "frame rate." 2. Our results resemble Jezek et al. 2011 (as @jjsakon notes). Jezek et al. trained rats in two boxes that were identical except for their lighting cues, so that hippocampal place cells formed two distinct maps, one per box. They then “teleported” the rat by abruptly switching the lights. For a few seconds afterwards, CA3 place-cell activity flickered between the two maps, synced to the theta cycle (~125 ms). @StanDehaene first pointed this paper out to me, and reading it blew me away. To my mind it is the strongest evidence for a bistable attractor in the brain, because the competing maps are stored within the hippocampus itself. I think the phenomenon we see may be very similar at the circuit level: a bistable attractor network within inferotemporal cortex that alternately converges to one of two patterns, as cells in face patches work together to build a coherent representation of the input. In our case, both images are present in the input, so the competition could arise within IT or be inherited from earlier areas such as V1--recording there is an important next step. (It also still puzzles me that we didn’t see strong coherence between face patches ML and AM.) More broadly, what’s different about our paper is the brain area (inferotemporal cortex, often modeled as a feedforward DNN) and the ability to relate the two competing patterns to consciousness, with one granted conscious access and the other not. 3. Please comment on bioRxiv! The Twitter attention has been cool, but I really hope colleagues will be generous enough to post detailed commentary on bioRxiv, where there are currently 0 comments. As @seemaychou points out, peer review doesn’t have to come from just three anonymous reviewers. We would be truly grateful for your critical feedback. 4. Stay tuned This work was done at Caltech, Berkeley, in collaboration with @EngelTatiana at Princeton, funded by NIH and HHMI. I hope to share our vision soon for how we can solve consciousness @AsteraInstitute
