what if there was a pokédex in real life? point your phone at any animal. catch it, collect it, share it. i built it over a weekend. meet Gotcha 🧵

the other day i was testing some new features of the "nature-watching" app and i was able to capture a woodpecker, and i thought i was gonna get a rare card, and i was very disappointed with the result :'(. i'm happy that it worked tho.

what i like the most about building this is that i get to go outside to test it.

i did a benchmark test to see what other models i can use to generate the illustration for my nature-watching app, and the results are pretty impressive (all except imagen-standard... that was disappointing) i used a photo of a cardinal to test (results in thread)

i felt like this for some time and then i found my sweet spot. i think it comes down to pushing the boundaries of what you can do now and couldn't before.
Spoke with many friends recently, designers and engineers, all people who've been doing it for 20 years or more and had a lot of success doing it. And they all say the same thing. The AI stuff is genuinely useful right now. It's fast and things that used to take a week take an afternoon. Things you never even attempted because there was no time, now you can just do them. It's the biggest enabler ever. But in the same breath, every single one also says that it's the least fun they've ever had in their entire career. They also mention it makes no sense to do it the old way. They're all in. It's a strange paradox which I feel myself. Everything is possible now and I've never cared less about any of it. Both things true at once. Not sure if thats just the feeling of the current moment, or if I just talked to people who're tired of the computer (since all of them been doing it for a long time).

inspired by @WarnerTeddy's bird tracker station, i built this app where i capture a photo of any living organism with my phone, and after a few seconds (10x speed in the video), i get a japanese-style illustration of the animal or plant, the name, and a fun fact.

i just used "i was made aware" in a sentence at work and just realized it is correct to say it. all the hours watching movies and tv shows in english paid off.

the way it should be
Amazon ha cerrado un ranking interno para ver quién usaba más la IA en la empresa. La gente competía en quemar millones de tokens sin importar el valor que aportaba. ¿El problema? Pues que obviamente les estaba costando millones de dólares. La nueva directiva es: no uses IA por usar.

my personal website reacts to the current weather and time of day in miami, fl (where i live). why? quoting @_christinacodes: "wrong question. why not?"
