Our free no-code generative AI app builder, called PartyRock.aws, is hosting a virtual hackathon offering $120,000 in cash and AWS credits across many different categories. Learn more here: awspartyrockhackathon.devpos…
We (AWS) launched the Amazon Titan Image Generator last week. I've created a short 6 minute video showing how you can use this AI tool to easily add, remove, and replace objects in images. Check it out and share it with others!

I am awed at how quickly AI music tools are advancing. Here's a song I created collaboratively with @suno_ai_. I provided the lyrics and editorial choices along the way, and the AI generated all of the audio. Watch the playlist for more.

Very disappointed in @EpicGames. They allowed someone to change the email associated with my account (despite me not approving the confirmation email), and now tell me they are unable to verify my identity despite providing them receipts and confirming email addresses.
This is an exciting day! Amazon Bedrock provides easy access to Claude, Stable Diffusion, Llama 2, Amazon Titan, and others generative AI models. The AWS console even provides a playground UI where you can test-drive these models without writing code.

My "KS Coding Stats" extension is now available through VS Code. Use this extension to measure how your coding productivity improves when using AI coding companions like Amazon CodeWhisperer and GitHub Copilot as well as traditional code-assist features.

Using any generative AI tool effectively requires adopting a beginner’s mindset and embracing new ways of working. In this new article, I share 10 practical ways to apply CodeWhisperer and gain coding superpowers.

Amazon #CodeWhisperer, our AI-powered coding assistant, is now officially launched! Best of all, the full-featured "Individual" license is completely free and requires no AWS account! If you write code, give it a try and let me know what you think.

Yesterday I shared a #VSCode extension I wrote that measures coding efficiency. Today I'm sharing a time-lapse video showing the 3x coding boost I gained by leveraging Amazon CodeWhisperer—our AI-powered coding companion—when writing that extension! youtube.com/watch?v=tck8ZVPr…
Introducing "KS Coding Stats"—my VS Code extension to measure how your coding efficiency improves when using any code assist feature including Amazon CodeWhisperer, GitHub Copilot, or even just IntelliSense and snippets.

🧠 fMRI goes in → 🖼 image of what you were looking at comes out.
I'm speechless.
Not peer-reviewed yet but a submitted paper.
The 'presented images' were shown to a group of humans. The 'reconstructed images' were the result of an fMRI output to Stable Diffusion.
In other words, #stablediffusion literally read people's minds.

I'm excited and optimistic about all these emerging prompt-driven AI tools. But I'm also concerned at how easily they can apparently be compromised using simple social engineering ploys.
I'm excited to see that our #virtualproduction stage is revealed to the world! I'm honored to have played a tiny part in helping Ken Nakada assemble the team that drives this amazing facility. Check out the impressive content already being produced in this intro video.
"#ChatGPT is making software development more accessible and intuitive with natural language guidance. This expands the pool of talent and brings in fresh perspectives that drive innovation."

Recco 👍. I'm loving the "Huge If True" YT series from @cleoabram. It's an optimistic yet clear-eyed view of tech with the potential to improve the world. Cleo and Whitney Theis (mograph) have an incredible knack for explaining complex tech.

If you're curious about streaming VR experiences from the cloud to headsets like the Meta Quest, my friends and colleagues @WillCannady (NVIDIA), Adam (AWS), and Kellan (AWS) just posted a nice introduction.

Amazon's 14 Leadership Principles guide everything we do and are one reason I love my job. Today we added two new LPs: "Strive to be Earth's Best Employer" and "Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility". Read more here: aboutamazon.com/about-us/lea…
This is a great inspiration resource for you fellow UI and FUI fans. There's a surprising amount of detail in some of the posts.
