Anthropic computer use API + iPhone mirroring to a Mac = AI controlled phone.
Watch Claude control my phone and successfully look up stats in my Sports app.
I even got it to play a game in the Chess app against another AI - pretty crazy.
And this is the worst it’ll ever be.

Introducing 1stAI Machine, the first physical device for video editing generated by AI.
"we anticipate that the quality of videos will soon match that of photos. At that point, anyone will be able to create movies without the need for a camera, lights, or actors; they will simply interact with the AIs. A tool like 1stAI Machine anticipates that moment by exploring tangible interfaces that enhance creativity."

If you worked very, very hard and earned $5,000 a day, and worked every day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, never spending a dime, you’d still be less than halfway to being a billionaire. Nobody "earns" a billion dollars.

This is one of the most heartwarming true stories you will read today. It has been a joy to get to know and work with the talented @FG_Artist and his family. Our check-ins were the favorite part of my day. He is going to go far! nytimes.com/2023/06/07/movie…
nice work by students of @NFTSFilmTV
These @NFTSFilmTV students made an insane replica miniature CIA vault from ‘Mission: Impossible’ (Yep, the one Tom Cruise breaks into). @beforesmag got a special visual insight into how it was built
