- The Neural Band was the main product I worked on at CTRL-labs/Meta, as a small part of a big effort to create a new interface A low latency on-device model trained at massive scale, in a custom wearable, powering an intricate interaction design.. that ultimately feels simple ✨
- I created a wearable that lets AI see the world Project Ring consists of a hand-worn camera & joystick. It can: - 👂 hear using @OpenAI Whisper, - 👁️ see using an image-to-text model, and - 👄 speak using text-to-voice @elevenlabs The punchline? It was *100%* coded by GPT-4
- SOLID STATE WATCH by @cwandt A Casio F-91W permanently cast in resin, no access to buttons & an 🟠 sticker obscuring the date (due to leap year drift) Fully waterproof / 10+ yr lifespan / Custom timezone & strap / Made in NYC
- incredible design & engineering from Brilliant Labs - OpenAI + Perplexity built-in - 20deg FOV display - camera - prescription inserts - open source
- Introducing AutoCorp, a fully autonomous company 🤖 AutoCorp automatically creates ads, branding, and product designs for a D2C t-shirt company As customers request new shirts, AutoCorp updates its thesis & generates new assets - continually evolving towards a better business
00:00 - I'm thrilled to announce Sandbar @sandbar_inc , a human-AI interface company Existing interfaces—and the devices which power them—often create gaps between us We envision a new interface; one with telepathic-like speed & privacy, designed as an extension of yourself
00:00 - We have: - Incredible LLMs - Fast, accurate ASR - Natural text-to-speech Yet there are no good conversational experiences I want to *just* talk and listen. Why hasn't this been built? The gap is purely in execution quality
- We built an AI that reads Twitter so you don't have to🐦 And won 2nd place at the NYC Generative AI Hackathon!🏆 "Debrief" is an AI tool that filters Twitter, Reddit, Hacker News, RSS, and other sources based on your preferences & creates personalized summaries. More below👇
00:00 - Thankful to have worked on Orion & the neural wristband, magic at your fingertips ✨ All my ❤️ to the CTRL-labs/Meta team
- Cyborgism🤖 "Instead of trying to turn GPT into an agent, we can... design human-in-the-loop systems which enhance a human’s abilities without outsourcing their agency to a machine" Many key ideas here including 👤 Simulacra 🐝 Hive Minds, and 🧠Neocortex Prostheses:
