You can now draft a video concept in 2 minutes with @descript Chat to Video. I can think of a number of high-value use cases for this low-fi video prototyping:
Education, training, or onboarding ~ In a corporate setting or in a class room this should make it easy to turn pdfs or notion pages into more digestible and engaging content. You can play with the tone too to bring in more personality.
Clearly the intent is not to deliver polished video, but as a tool to move quickly from idea to concept, or for videos where quality is not the deciding factor, this is super valuable. #aitools #genai #aivideo #designtools #researchtools #designresearch #productdesign

The classic software startup writes code to solve users' problems. If AI makes writing code more of a commodity, understanding users' problems will become the most important component of starting a startup. But it already is.

What if we set GPT-4 free in Minecraft? ⛏️
I’m excited to announce Voyager, the first lifelong learning agent that plays Minecraft purely in-context. Voyager continuously improves itself by writing, refining, committing, and retrieving *code* from a skill library.
GPT-4 unlocks a new paradigm: “training” is code execution rather than gradient descent. “Trained model” is a codebase of skills that Voyager iteratively composes, rather than matrices of floats. We are pushing no-gradient architecture to its limit.
Voyager rapidly becomes a seasoned explorer. In Minecraft, it obtains 3.3× more unique items, travels 2.3× longer distances, and unlocks key tech tree milestones up to 15.3× faster than prior methods.
We open-source everything. Let generalist agents emerge in Minecraft! Welcome you all to try today: voyager.minedojo.org/
Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2305.16291
Code: github.com/MineDojo/Voyager

When you force users to enter data all you’ll do is alienate them while degrading your data quality.

How to get your Boss to support your idea? It's not like I succeed every time, but I found that going advice is missing a few of the most important considerations.

What's the single most efficient way in @notionHQ to take and organise notes of real and digital things. This feels like a simple task, but I'm overwhelmed with all the possibilities.
