We need to talk. The climate crisis is getting worse, yet politicians and business leaders are backing away from their commitments.
Media coverage on climate is down 40% in recent years. That’s why Women Leading on Climate is launching #WeNeedToTalk—and we need your help to put climate change back on the agenda!

All the illustrations in How Codex Happened started in Midjourney.
To animate them and make them interactive, @dealville used Codex to build custom tools for dialing each one in. Here's a look at those tools.

This year I shipped more production code than ever. I wrote zero lines of it.
That job: copy-paste plans between agents. Wait for CI. Doomscroll while tests run.
Velocity was up. My brain was fried.
Every backlog moved at the speed of my clipboard. I wasn't the engineer anymore. I was the bottleneck.
So I built the eng squad I ran for 15 years as a CTO, out of agents.
Meet @suplex_ai.

ESP-Mosaico brings AI-assisted coding to real hardware.
It combines an ESP32-S31-based board with a touchscreen and modular camera, audio, sensor, and control modules.
You can build an idea, deploy it to the device, test it and keep improving it with AI assistance.
Useful for prototyping smart devices, interactive systems, and robotics projects.
What would you build first?

Finally people get it. AI + prompt based gaming = Metaverse.
It is what @TimSweeneyEpic @ballmatthew and others have been saying for years.
Note that if you said AI was relevant and accelerant for the Metaverse, they'd say it was attaching a dead buzzword to the new one for street cred. But here we are- you cannot deny what your eyes see.
Very clear that the battle being waged for AI enabled gaming- especially prompts like what @DavidBaszucki is aiming for with Roblox- will lead to the exact vision of the Metaverse as put out in Ball's original essays:
-Massively Scaled
-Interoperable
-Real-time rendered
-3D virtual worlds
-Experienced Synchronously and Persistently
-By unlimited users
It's not a future that is coming, it's already here. Intentionally built and predicted accurately years back.
