This is awesome, and I don't think people have grasped the significance of being able to generate micro-software on the fly that you can share in real time with others. It is still basic, but will become insanely powerful as it matures. I remixed the demo artifact into a space invaders style game where the crab shoots little shrimps at little crab traps! claude.site/artifacts/02dc0b…

Artifacts made with Claude can now be published and shared. You can also remix Artifacts shared by others. 🎨

Excellent analysis from @seema_amble and @mandrusko1 on the impact of GenAI in Accounting. Seema and Marc are some of the sharpest thinkers I've encountered on the space - they have really taken the time to dig into the details & understand the nuance. Recommend checking out their post.
1/ 🧵Two things in life are: death and taxes. We’d argue that maybe AI should be added to that list. With the rapid advancement of LLMs, AI will be a pivotal part of many fields from marketing to professional services, like accounting. a16z.com/generative-ai-in-ac…

Thread on the interaction of a few topics I've read about recently: 1.) Increasing divergence of political views by gender 2.) Left-wing sites blocking LLM crawlers 3.) LLMs trained on media diets capable of predicting political views

The AI labs are already speed running the same content moderation journey that the social media industry went though over the last 7 years. But, it will be interesting to see how this new topic of dataset curation plays out, especially when the corpus of freely accessible content is not "representative"

Consider this is a warning for all of you who are not consistently candid in your communications.

Computers need a new voice interface - a verbal keyboard. I'm not talking about transcription (that is just the raw input). The "interface" is the transformations that happen on top of this.

A keyboard is not optimal to *capture thoughts*. The flow would be voice transcription to capture thoughts --> New LLM powered interface to transform/explore those thoughts --> Traditional keyboard to refine build on top of the processed thoughts

Has anyone built this? The closest I've seen is theoasis.com and to some extent async.com I imagine that this would start as an application, but the ideal solution should be a direct & unnoticed interface with your computer the same as a keyboard.
