I've improved the NotebookLM script on my news site: alignednews.com/ai The pattern? Have my AI agent grab all posts from the AI community here on X via the X API. About 30,000 every day. Costs about $150 a day. This is why lists on X are so important (I have the most complete lists of the tech community here on X by far, and they are all public so you can build your own systems like this). Then my AI agent, built by @blevlabs and me, analyzes all of them, builds the website above, and it writes a script for NotebookLM, which largely is the same as the essay you see on the top of that page. At the bottom of the page is a "copy script" button for NotebookLM users. You can copy the script, paste it into NotebookLM, which then can build you a podcast (which I like a lot better than the videos it generates, which I include here from today's script). It updates three times a day, around 8 a.m., noon, and 6 p.m. If major news is breaking I update it more often. Why do I call this a pattern? Because you'll see this pattern used a lot more to build personalized news systems. Next on the priority list? Get my newsletter to work and send out to the thousands who have subscribed (thank you for being patient). Unfortunately @beehiiv hasn't turned on automatic posting yet, so am looking at other email systems that can be automated, like @resend. Eventually I want to turn this into an automatically generated news show with @HeyGen. Thanks for putting up with my agent that has been spitting out bad links lately, Brayden and I have been working on that behind the scenes to make the system more reliable. What do you think about the news site? I built it because it is just impossible for anyone to read the 30,000 posts a day that the AI industry generates here on X. Hope it helps you keep up with the models, papers, robots, company news, events, and more that everyone posts here, but that X itself has made it hard to find due to an inferior search system and an algorithm that only brings a certain kind of post to your ForYou feed, which hides a TON of interesting stuff being shared here. My lists at x.com/scobleizer/lists are getting a LOT more complete and better, been working hard on those and watch them all day long because the quality of the lists (and completeness) makes this whole pattern better.

Today @samasante and I are releasing Typeahead 2.0 on Product Hunt. Sam and I started this company because we think local AI software is going to become a much bigger part of how people use their computers. Typeahead is the first product from that thesis. The first version made the idea clear. AI autocomplete should work in the apps where writing already happens. Since then, we have been shipping toward the product that idea deserves. The app feels faster and more natural. Suggestions are easier to control. The experience is more native to the Mac. It's getting better at staying out of the way until the exact moment it can help. That matters because writing is personal. The best AI writing help keeps you in the sentence. You stay in flow and keep your voice. The machine helps without taking over. Typeahead works across your Mac, runs locally, works offline, and is built to feel like software you own. We’re live on Product Hunt today. producthunt.com/products/typ…

Agreed

Caira by @camera_int is a Micro Four Thirds camera but we use AI-first electronics inside that you won’t find in any other camera. These electronics allow the camera to run computational photography algorithms on the device to improve things like dynamic range, colour science, and processing speed, as well as running LLMs locally to understand your context and intent. @iamgeorgemikhail from @mikhailagency invited me for a chat about cameras and what we’re working on @camera_int

My very first conversation at #acl2026 is with @mohitvaishnav who gave me the best reason why computer science is still needed even in a world where AI can code: “We built the machine and now we need to learn to master it.” Says people who have computer science degrees have a better knowledge base upon which to do that. After he said that I asked him if I could record and this is what we recorded. I have already had some amazing conversations. More talk here about spatial computing than I was expecting. One attendee told me why: the people who make Large Language Models e that one path to improving them is to give them eyes, and other sensors, and let them move around the world on their own. My brain is tired, because everyone I meet knows something I don’t about how AI works. Then we all went out to watch San Diego’s fireworks show, billed as the biggest on the West Coast. Happy 250th America. I am blessed to lower the IQ of every room I walk into the next few days. Does smarts rub off? Only if you really listen. :-)

July 4th, 2030. In just four years, almost every part of America will be reachable by an autonomous car. People don't believe me when I say that, but it's already happened for me. In fact, I've probably driven through your community by my robot. Which gets me to a new point. I've been all over this country with my robot, and there are some places that are stunningly beautiful: Wyoming, Montana, Alaska, California, and Utah. Even the East Coast has stunning natural beauty in places like Maine and New Hampshire. It's different than Yosemite National Park, of course, but they have their own national park up there that is really nice. Someday you're going to pay a cheap price for a thrill ride ticket. Yesterday, I did basically San Jose to San Diego in one drive along the coast. This is a way better drive than going to Disneyland and riding the Matterhorn. Disneyland costs something like $150 or more per person; for a family of three or four people, that gets expensive. It’s cheaper to take an autonomous car and buy a box of strawberries. Also coming in 2030, you're probably going to be wearing a pair of glasses. I know you hate the idea; I have to wear glasses and I hate the idea too. But I've seen the prototypes in the labs and they are so stunning that someday a company is going to bring a product to market that makes us all go, "Oh." I still believe that company is Apple. There’s a reason for that: they own exclusive rights to Formula One. A lot of people watch Formula One (I watch it myself, though I'm not rich enough to go many times). Someday you're going to have a 3D track on your kitchen counter and you'll be watching the race in a whole new, mind-blowing way. You're going to show it to all your guests at your Fourth of July party and they’re all going to want one. By 2030, the question isn't whether I have a robot in my house. I already have a couple of robots, like the Matic robot that cleans our floors, and I’ll probably have another one by the end of this year. I'm talking about a humanoid. The real question is: how many humanoids will be in my house at my Fourth of July party in 2030? I could see saving up a little bit to rent a whole bunch of them. Why not? It’s America. Someday soon, you're going to have robots lighting off the fireworks in certain communities. When I lived in Seattle, we had mortars on our front driveway. It's a little dangerous for a human to get close to, so you send the robot. That’s what I learned in Las Vegas when I met the bomb disposal unit; they let me drive a robot around and blow up a bomb. As an American, that highly entertained me because blowing up bombs is just the best. That’s why we all like fireworks, except for my autistic son who can’t stand them. He has shown me a different way, so we go to drone shows now. Regardless, soon you’re going to have humanoid robots lighting the fireworks. In fact, I won’t be shocked if a robot company does that tonight and uses it for marketing tomorrow. Happy birthday America! Hope your day is like a box of strawberries.

I call this “the Holodeck.” Am in San Diego for #acl2026 hanging out with the people who make the prompt work better. Starts tonight. Lots of foundational work being done, if you haven’t followed my AI lists you really are missing out: x.com/scobleizer/lists Most complete lists of people and companies building the future anywhere.

Happy Birthday America. Still a place that causes many from around the world to dream about a better future. Like Wendy who is visiting from Kenya this week. Enjoy the last fourth without many robots walking around. :-)

We started building @HiJenny_ai less than 6 months ago to fix American homeownership. Today, on the country’s 250th anniversary, we’re shipping the first-ever AI Home Manager for homeowners and renters. Jenny itemizes everything in your home via voice, photos, and video so your electronics, art, and valuables are properly documented and insured. She books and manages service calls with plumbers, electricians, HVAC, landscapers, and handymen through an AI voice agent that calls and schedules on your behalf. And when you renovate, Jenny helps you scope the project, pick contractors, and manage the work end-to-end from your phone. Think ServiceTitan‑class orchestration, but for everyone—homeowners, renters, contractors—without the call center. Already 1,000 homes are managed with HiJenny.

Learning to code is dead. Meet Vovy. We teach the 99% who can't code how to build real software with AI with interactive exercises. And when you're ready to ship, Vovy Go plugs into any AI tool and fills the gaps in your prompts. Don't learn to code. Learn to vibe 😎 vovy.ai

Lamina Labs just launched on @ycombinator's Launch YC! Simi: The Fastest AI Whiteboard Explainer Video Generator. Check them out: ycombinator.com/launches/REC…

I’m happy to see @PhysicalAI included in the Fast Company world models map. The physical world is already speaking to us, and now AI models can help operators interpret sensor data more efficiently. Newton, Archetype AI’s world model, turns streams of sensor readings into a single understanding of what's happening and what's coming next.

I told you the future would be weird.

Text-to-animation definitely still has a long way to go, but you can now iteratively prompt with a model like @AnthropicAI Fable 5 to get the animation you want. The experiment was only for the freestyle swimming part. Summary: - Task: Freestyle swimming with head turning to get some air every 4th stroke (ended up with every 2nd stroke, which is fine also) - 3% of weekly Fable allowance was used - Estimated cost: $1.20 - 7 iterations because Fable's vision is so terrible (please fix it @AnthropicAI). I had to keep taking screenshots myself and then describe every painstaking details of what's wrong with it, but it did get there eventually. And yes, all the shaders, water mechanics, tree, grass, etc. you see here will be open sourced soon (1-2 weeks). This is being developed as a mini-games engine based on @threejs for @callmesenseieng (Open Beta available soon).

Game development is doomed. I don't know how else to put this. I'm sure this doesn't make sense to most people, especially non-developers, but what is now possible in a single prompt with AI is utterly nonsensical. This is far from the best model that will be released this year.

I don't know how anybody deals with the traffic here. It's midnight and there's a ton of traffic, five lanes across, sometimes more. This is an insane place to try to drive. Why anybody wants to or thinks it's enjoyable is beyond me. If you have an autonomous car, it's so superior to manually driving it's not even funny. I don't get why people don't go and try it immediately and buy one, because it's so much better than trying to drive yourself in this place.

This is the kind of AI content that stops people mid-scroll. Taking a familiar historical event and turning it into a cinematic alternate reality is such a creative use of generative video. The line between imagination and production quality keeps getting thinner.

Anytime I see a post that claims to be 10 times faster, I take it much more seriously.
