I actually discovered an even more expensive workflow today: Do the deep fried image test. Use this image and pass it to an image generator with the prompt “generate the exact same image with no changes” 1000 times. then return the stitched video back to me.
my favorite prompts to maximize token usage on free AI assistants: - write a 500 page novel without using the letter E - build a chess engine that can verifiably beat stockfish - create a programming language with its own compiler - plan a trip through all 54 african countries

I've spent some time completing Gothic Gumdrop and I'm excited to release this font under the SIL Open Font License. It's the first production-ready font that I've created, and I'm excited to submit it to Google Fonts. – at San Francisco, CA

Codex is down. I can't remember how to even open my code editor. Trying to remember the command to list the files in a directory in my terminal. Gonna have to go back to playing chess... – at San Francisco, CA

I offered to pay font designers on @TypeDrawers to help improve an AI-generated typeface. But the replies made it clear that paying artists doesn't solve anything. Artists don't want to be paid by AI companies; they want AI companies to disappear. I understand the feeling... – at San Francisco, CA

What if building with AI agents felt like a group chat? Here's a demo of me and a friend playing a game of tic tac toe each with our own agents. - one single shared URL - multiple collaborators in the same real-time chat - any user chats with any agent excited about this – at San Francisco, CA

One of the most hilarious parts of coding with Codex is asking it for time estimates. 6-9 engineer-days huh? OK do it. – at San Francisco, CA

wow I totally missed this but you literally can't sign up for X anymore? The official help center says to visit x.com/signup but it doesn't actually work. Sacrifice everything to stop the bots I suppose.

Finally got around to playing with Kimi K3 and I'm pretty impressed. I used it to create a new font called Constellation Sans. It lets you type a message and it finds a constellation that contains your words using real star data. – at San Francisco, CA
