✨ Keep it simple, make it scale. AI should be about empowering users and building understanding. 👩💻 AI Developer Experience @ Google DeepMind, ex-Github, ex-Google
🐈 Gobsmacked by the creativity and the consistency in the fal x Sequoia x DeepMind 72-hour hackathon, organized by Cerebral Valley! Huge congrats to Christian Luoma for their 1st place win. 👇 Watch their short film below (and don't expect to get sleep tonight!): www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc4Q...

"Artists have been deluding themselves for centuries with the notion that they create. In fact, they do nothing of the sort. They discover. Inherent in the nature of reality are a number of combinations of musical tones that will be perceived as pleasing by a human central nervous system.
👋 is there an eval for ai-driven kernel *maintenance*? not generation, but migration. like, cuda→hip, gfx942→gfx950, rocm n→n+1, etc. migration has a built-in verifier (the old kernel is the spec), so it should be way more benchmarkable than greenfield kernel generation who's working on this
walked up to church this morning and got hit with "RESTRICTED AREA: CONSTRUCTION WORK IN PROGRESS" like yes. that is in fact why i'm here 🏗️ god's not done with me yet 😌❤️
the original nerd snipe: ancient geometers looking at a circle like "that's gonna bother me forever, actually"
👋 Anyone else going to be at @acmsiggraph.bsky.social later this month? I'll be around on July 21-22nd to give a workshop and for the Google DeepMind "Dear Upstairs Neighbors" reception, and would love to learn more about what you're working on! (DMs open for grabbing coffee or a walk. 💓)
horror story in five words: "CUDA driver version is insufficient"
the kids who would've spent their 20s designing programming languages are about to rediscover what nerds did before compilers existed: building entire middle-earths to contain their type systems tolkien-core. we're going back the man was just a compiler nerd with no VC funding
🐜 Maybe I should start a physics explainer channel? 😅 (built with the ai.dev Gemini Omni Flash and Gemini 3.5 Flash, as well as our new Managed Agents API)
🍌 🐌 Banana slugs, giant redwoods, petrified forests, geysers, waterfalls, logs that almost-but-not-quite break when you walk across them 😅, fainting goats, remote veggie-forward 7th-day adventist towns, and some of the most beautiful stars I've ever seen. 🇺🇸 blessed to live here, happy 4th! 🎆
🌲🪨 Coolest potential investment I've seen in recent memory: The Petrified Forest in Calistoga is for sale, for just under $10M! The unique, privately-owned park features ancient redwood trees turned to stone by a volcanic eruption 3.4 million years ago during the Pliocene epoch.
...and even better: they're using JAX (with Flax), @ollamabot.bsky.social, and @mistralai.bsky.social! 😁🍔

✨📚 10/10 recommend tumbling down the @sfpubliclibrary.bsky.social digital archive rabbit hole! Looking at 1900s SF gives the exact same energy as seeing your grandparents' high school photos - you completely recognize the bone structure and the street corners, but absolutely nothing else.

🐦 Did you know there's a non-profit bird rescue in the Bay Area called Mickaboo Rescue? They did a pop-up today at the American Heritage Museum in Palo Alto! I loved Hanson the parakeet and Captain Jack. www.mickaboo.org
🙌 Huge crowd for the Google DeepMind / HUD Frontier / RSI RL Environments hackathon at @ycombinator.bsky.social! Cosponsors also include Exa, Modal, @anthropic.com, Fireworks AI, MiniMax, and more. Can't wait to see what people build with Google AI Studio and Gemma 4!
no one is monitoring the situation harder than me and the 40+ guys huddled around the one (!!!) tv playing the knicks game in jfk terminal 5
POV: you built a robot dog in your bedroom. 🐶🤖 Meet Pupper, from Stanford! We hooked it up to the Gemini Live API and the Gemini Robotics-ER model so it can actually understand and react to the world. And you can even build it yourself! 🍓 Runs on a @raspberrypi.com 🛠️ 100% open-source (hw & sw)
🎶 Bought a ticket to go see The Feelies play "Crazy Rhythms" in its entirety in NYC this Saturday, but unfortunately can't go. 🥺 Anyone want the ticket (free)? It should be an amazing time, one of my favorite albums! Just want it to go to someone who'd enjoy it. m.soundcloud.com/dynamicwebpa...

🎮🤩 The California College of Arts Game Design showcase is *so cool*, and very robotics and AI-pilled this season! The open house ends today, but opened up their entire lab to play computer games, console games, and board games. Loved the creative and beautiful work from these students!
👀🎥 Filming today with Duchess and @harrisonjobe.bsky.social on Google's MTV campus! Feeling very nostalgic, love seeing the old Google Brain buildings in the background – and think y'all will be excited about what's coming. 🥹🧠
"That era of the internet is ending – not because the web is dying, but because the way we build things is radically changing." It's official, y'all: my teenage bedroom and high school flip phone belong in a museum. 🥹❤️
Can't say that I'm a metalhead, but... ✨🎬😄 Seeing how developers are using the Gemini APIs with Lyria + Veo to push the boundaries of music video generation is *very, very rad*. Step-by-step guide and details in the Reddit link below. Keep building things like this! www.reddit.com/r/GeminiAI/c...
