tldraw: An Open Source Canvas Unlocking Generative AI Creativity
tldraw is an open source infinite canvas component that empowers creativity with generative AI. Founder Steve Ruiz created it as reusable code for building whiteboard-style apps. tldraw gained traction as people realized its potential for visual interfaces to AI models. Its "Make Real" feature prompts systems like DALL-E to turn sketches into functioning websites or apps.
On the Twist podcast, Ruiz demonstrated tldraw's iterative abilities. By adding annotations or text to a generated color picker web widget, the AI produces updated versions with new fonts, layouts and features. This loop helps refine ideas. Comparisons of different prompts for a timer app reveal how AI reasoning breaks or works. Rather than magic, Ruiz sees the AI meeting designers halfway like a creative tool.
With simple starter templates, people have used tldraw to create games, tools and more. Ruiz wants it to enable innovation others wouldn't build solo. On the business side, an open core model licenses commercial use. The focus is still tailoring tldraw for developers building AI-powered products. Ruiz hopes it becomes a battleground for testing different generative models as they evolve. Ideas include benchmarking model outputs and using AI to evaluate which works best.
By providing an accessible gateway to creating with AI as it advances, tldraw makes emerging technology feel familiar. It unlocks new possibilities at the intersection of design and code. What people imagine, this infinite canvas aims to help make real.
Accenture and Google Cloud Launch Generative AI Center to Accelerate Business Transformation
Accenture and Google Cloud announced a new generative AI Center of Excellence that will help companies adopt and scale generative AI to transform operations and create new revenue streams. The center combines Accenture's model customization and engineering with Google Cloud's advanced AI like Gemini. It provides access to over 130 models, MLOps tools to deploy models, and prototypes for use cases in areas like customer service, document management, and software development. With over 300 scaled AI projects, Accenture brings industry expertise. The center aims to help companies move from experimentation to production faster with resources like prompt engineering strategies, datasets, infrastructure, and managed services. Initial customers include health insurer Independence Blue Cross seeking to harness generative AI to improve experiences and services. The partnership helps enterprises drive quicker results from AI investment.
Ilya Sutskever: Pioneering AI Scientist Prioritizing Safety
As a key creator of systems like ChatGPT, OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever has pioneered conversational AI. But he worries about controlling future AI. As a teen, Sutskever impressed AI legend Geoffrey Hinton with ideas on solving issues others missed. He later co-developed breakthroughs like GPT language models and AlphaGo. At OpenAI, Sutskever enabled scaling computing to make models more capable. This led to ChatGPT's sensation. Some praise Sutskever’s urgency and vision, but others criticize OpenAI’s secrecy and distracting focus on future risks versus current AI harms. After chaotic leadership changes at OpenAI, Sutskever leads their project on controlling superhuman AI. He makes bold statements, like AI already having consciousness. Sutskever relentlessly pursues his AI safety goal, but faces doubts over priorities as pioneering systems like ChatGPT spread through society.
Google Launches AI Studio for Easy Chatbot and App Development with Gemini
Google launched AI Studio, a web-based tool for easily developing chatbots and applications using its new Gemini language model. It allows prompting Gemini Pro and Vision through a simple interface to generate text and imagery. Developers get API access and code to build prototypes fast without restrictions, with 60 requests per second free. AI Studio focuses on quick iteration, integrating with Google's Vertex AI platform and SDKs for production deployment across platforms. It aims to be an onramp for all skill levels to harness Gemini's capabilities. While data is monitored to improve quality, the tool feels substantive even in its first free version rather than a locked trial. As generative AI progresses rapidly, Google plans to evolve AI Studio as a gateway to creativity with Gemini across its ecosystem, including Chrome and Firebase integration next year.
