the gift of alcohol and other drug experiences is to reveal to you that your sober state is no less strange nor surreal than your intoxicated one. in either case you are a phantom floating through physical sensation, and while you may be more cogent, you’re equally dislocated

Before Hollywood, I was living in a van in Hawaii and waiting tables at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. One day, the incredible Rae Dawn Chong walked into the restaurant, and naturally, I went up to her table and said, “Hey, you’re a movie star! What are you doing here?”
She asked if I could act, and I said, “Fuck yeah, put me in your movie!”
She asked for my phone number. The only problem was I didn’t have one. So I gave her my buddy Mike’s number instead. A couple days later, Mike casually mentions, “Oh, by the way, someone called you.” ARE YOU KIDDING ME, MIKE?!
I called her back, and sure enough, she was serious. I drove over to pick up the script, went back to Mike’s house, and read all 120 pages three times in a row. First script I’d ever read. My character's name was Devon, and I remember thinking, “Sweet! I could totally play a Devon!”
I showed up to the audition with every line and inflection mapped out in pencil. Rae told me I could act and offered me the part. I asked if we were shooting in Hawaii. Nope. Los Angeles.
I had about $60 to my name, a bag of clothes, and some rollerblades.
Then Rae told me they'd fly me out. And I remember thinking right then and there, my life just changed forever. I'm going to be an actor.
That little movie was Cursed Part 3, a low-budget horror comedy that opened the door to Hollywood for me.
I'll forever be grateful to Rae for taking a chance on a kid working at a shrimp restaurant. Everybody starts somewhere, and this is where it all began for me.
This was the tech AR glasses never had, which take away the hardware constraints, nobody could ever build anything meaningful on the device.
A pivotal moment in the industry.
Introducing Reality-Aware Rendering in @Simulon, a completely new way to create with the real world.
Place neural assets with your phone and act out the scene. When you stop recording, Simulon renders the take, reading everything in it (what you do, what you say and the place around you), and your assets respond to all of it.
The final is regenerated from your recording: a new performance of the scene, not a copy of the footage.
Available now on iPhone. Coming to Android soon.
Grateful to have cohosted the first-ever Silicon Valley Fashion show.
From inception, we wanted to put on an event that brought a creative energy that San Francisco had never experienced before. And one it desperately needed. Silicon Valley and fashion are two words that traditionally haven’t, and some people have argued shouldn’t, be in the same sentence. But we disagreed.
This wasn’t about competing with NYC or Paris Fashion Week. Those exist in a realm of their own. Instead, we asked ourselves: What would a fashion show look like if we created the most iconic outfits of the year from the world’s top brands and made them shoppable for the audience?
So from our 1,000+ brand partnerships we had @iconaiapp app our AI stylist & shopping assistant do exactly that. We featured pieces from designers like @gucci @dolcegabbana, to premium brands like @DIESEL @TommyHilfiger @boss @CalvinKlein @7FAM @aninebingofficial, and independent designers like @yanabana and more. These were curated looks that people would actually wear on a daily basis.
From idea to reality in 1.5 months, none of this would have been possible without my amazing cohosts @sammysintech @gargi_kand @vivxxren and our amazing sponsors @lovart_ai @WellsFargo @dianeemccormack @ahumaninternet , and the best venue AssemblySF.
And of course, the most amazing models bringing the outfits to life: Anzhelika, Vanessa Valentine, Liliana Guerrero, Chisom Nzerem, Samantha Renee, Jona Naqo, Sushree, Chuyi, @tweetsylvias, Liz Lanza, Patrycja Brzowska, Sarah Guller, Manasvi Choudhary, Aditi Bagepalli, Lea Koob, Mia loosmann, Kate Farrar.
There is more fashion to come for San Francisco, and much more on the horizon for @iconaiapp app. This is only the start.
Just as social media companies fueled the mental health epidemic of the 2010s, sports betting and prediction market companies are setting the stage for this era’s epidemic: gambling addiction.
Nobody is talking about this
Not only are movies so fucking back, but we still have Dune 3 in December that's gonna blow the roof off everything we've seen this year
