I refactored this project, so I can play it using my coding agent.
It's now called Rex Mundi:

Cybernetics goes maximally hard.
In 1956, Cybernetics was renamed "AI" by logic programming experts. Now Trump wants to rename AI again. Let's revive the old name! Modern AI is about neural nets & deep learning, closer to Cybernetics than to 1956 AI. Plus, Cybernetics sounds better than Artificial Intelligence.

98% of US households aren't paying for AI yet
More charts in State of Markets II: a16z.news/p/state-of-markets…
Introducing our State of Markets pt 2, along with a companion podcast where we unpack the data and discuss what comes next.
Tech is the everything cycle.
Supply: putting the buildout in context, just passed railroads as % of GDP. The wisdom of Elon is real: the factory (or the datacenter!) is the product.
Demand: diffusion is so, so early. Median AI vendor spending in the top 1% of companies is 8x that of the top 10%. Only about 30% of S&P 500 companies report a quantified AI impact, which means there’s a substantial opportunity in connecting models to a company's data and workflows. Diffusion into companies is one of the main themes of the next 5 years.
We’re entering the agent work period. Only a few million users today, but applicable to billions of internet users with massive surplus created. META/GOOG monetize US users at $200+ per year today. Agent opportunity is much higher.
Mega-trends the next 5 years: Consumer agents, Robotics, Autonomy, AI x bio, Personal health, Diffusion into enterprise, New era of American Dynamism.

Our default Text-to-Speech model now has around 50ms time to first audio.
The model scores highest on naturalness for any sub-100ms model on Speko public benchmarks.
How much of your turn budget does TTS take?

24 heures après le lancement officiel de la version US, j’ai lancé la version pour le lancement France.
Ça remplit la même mission : documenter, orienter, aider les gens le plus simplement et rapidement possible. Les sources sont les sites officiels du gouvernement.
Je ne veux pas me lancer des fleurs, mais c’est fou de se dire qu aujourd’hui , on arrive à un point où il suffit d’un gars et 12 heures de taf pour reproduire un des services les plus prometteurs d’une grande nation.
C’est possible d’essayer sur francechat.org

Wow! TIL founders of musical.ly stole the idea and code from a French startup named Mindie! I had no idea. Just when I was beginning to think something was original 😕

Duolingo is not a language-learning app, it’s an obsessive streak-creation app to make you feel happy for simply showing up. I haven’t met a single person who has learnt how to speak or even understand a language through Duolingo.

Duolingo is not a business. It is an absurdist art project. An app for learning languages that no one actually learns a language from.
Like a restaurant full of people waiting for their food that never comes

I published my first app on the App Store🎨
Have a good day: every morning, a little drawing from your favorite person, waiting on your home screen. Yours is waiting on theirs.
No feed, no chat, no notifications. Just a bit of love, away from the mental-load thread on WhatsApp
