The more I prompt, the easier it gets to get what I want out of the model.

It feels like the days when you had to learn how to search to get what you were looking for.

Want to sound crisp on calls? I made this Mic Check app with Gemini 2.5 Pro just by describing it! 🎤

Prompt: Asked for a site to pick a mic, record, view spectrogram, & play back with glassomorphic design. Then tweaked it with feedback.

Launching: create the song you want by speaking to Lyric Genie.

Use it as is, or a spring board for your real song ideas. It makes it easier to get your ideas into a song.

It's great for highly personalized songs or even jingles.

Suno just dropped their V4.5 today. There's a lot that they upgraded. I started comparing it today, and will try it out more this week. Who else is excited for Suno's new release? what do you think so far?

I was going to build a todo app that prioritizes tasks based on my preferences, but then I just made a Gemini 2.5 Pro canvas that does 90% of what I wanted. The biggest unknown is if I can find the chat when needed.

Have you replaced apps with a model chat? What does yours do?

Ever have a song idea hit you out of nowhere, but the lyrics just don't come?

With Lyric Genie, you can speak your idea and get a first draft of lyrics in seconds. This is great to pair with AI music generators like Suno to go from idea to song in minutes.

Want to learn how to use GenAI models?

Not being glib: just open up a chat window and prompt something that comes to mind. Every day something different. Until you have a repertoire of useful AI workflows. Then, you'll naturally grow from there.

My experience.

Proof AI can create something special: my family hummed my AI created song all day, making this first nice day of the year even better. Thanks @sunomusic.bsky.social for making it possible!

I just upgraded my local model to Gemma3:12b, released today.

Now, I can translate Swiss German memes in to English in private. 😌

What are you using your local Gemma3 model for?

Trying out Claude 3.7 coding in the hour I had today. This is how far I got. This is the V0 audio visualizer for my music, created with AI Suno. Tomorrow is another day to improve it. 🙂

Improve your edits with AI: request multiple suggestions. Picking the best option from several variations saves time because you'll edit less.

What GenAI strategies give you an edge?

Has anyone else noticed how writing things down became more valuable now that GenAl models can utilize text to generate insights?

It's almost 2 weeks til Christmas. You know what that means?

If you catch COVID between now and Xmas you'll probably still have symptoms on the big day.

Protect your celebration.
Prevent COVID with masks and clean air.
December 9, 2023 at 11:41 AM
This is a good article to share to convince your school to reduce airborne spread by using air filters to clean the air.

They reduced COVID sick days by 20%! www.newscientist.com/article/mg26...

I'm home from surgery I had to have on Friday.

Getting a cough or worse would make recovery suck even more.

To prevent bringing home a bug from the hospital, I:
➡️ Masked where possible
➡️ Ran air filter in room
➡️ Opened windows
➡️ Washed hands

Now waiting while recovering.

Is anyone else getting less pushback from wearing a mask in public than say a year ago?

Could more people be getting over their fear of masks? Or is this just me?

Great news, and timely!

There's an updated COVID vaccine available for Winter. www.statnews.com/2023/10/23/m...

"For the United States alone, the economic cost of long COVID is estimated to be $3 trillion over the next five years."

Did anyone ACTUALLY estimate the costs of "let it rip" vs the alternatives BEFORE declaring it was good for the economy? www.nature.com/articles/d41...
