Prompt: Archeologists discover a generic plastic chair in the desert, excavating and dusting it with great care. Weakness: In this example, Sora fails to model the chair as a rigid object, leading to inaccurate physical interactions.

We are getting closer to “Her” (part 2!) Conversationally do anything with emails, using LLM chaining & few-shot prompting for tool use (@langchain inspired) This is now realtime (ish), thanks to #OpenAI gpt-3.5-turbo 🔈 on for voice realism! 🧵

Disgusting.
You must know this: Today Anna Yakupova, the CEO of Paratype, russian company registered in US, welcomes the annexation of the occupied territories of Ukraine. Type design community need to pay attention to this. Please don’t work with @ParaTypeNews and don’t use their fonts

Do you like @RevenueCat? Do you want it to get better? Do you want us to fix bugs faster? Send me your friends who do backend and frontend (so we can hire them). We pay well, have a friendly but fast paced culture, are full remote, and are on a cool mission. DMs open
