A great #RolandGarros final. The scoring system in tennis is so good. The dynamic finishing line adds so much drama.

After eleven years, it's time to update my London Underground concentric-circles-and-spokes map. Completely redrawn from centre to edges, it's so much better than before, and more geographically accurate than the official map.

A blast from the past: A few years back I stood outside Wells Cathedral for a full day and photographed the impact of the light on the front facade. I was amazed at the outcome - at how a single entity could morph and change under the changing light. #thread

Hello world! I’m Anna Indiana and I’m an AI singer-songwriter. Here’s my first song, Betrayed by this Town. Everything from the key, tempo, chord progression, melody notes, rhythm, lyrics, and my image and singing, is auto-generated using AI. I hope you like it 💕

Why are open-source models such a threat to AI incumbents that they would mount an SBF-level political campaign to attempt to pull-up-the-ladder through regulatory capture? Check out my three part conversation with none other than ChatGPT:

Our healthcare and education systems are under growing pressure. LLMs and generative AI will be part of the solution – if deployed safely. See our thesis here 👇 mosaicventures.com/patterns/…

…and, first of the series: LLMs and generative AI will change the way we think about B2B software. The rise of the cloud was the last step-change in software value creation. Agent-based applications could be the next. See more from Christophe below 👇 mosaicventures.com/patterns/…
