Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 02/03/2026At 17,000 tokens per second, what won’t be generated in real-time? 000
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 27/02/2026We’re building an agent inside of Emra, so you’re able to ask for meeting summaries, get context about your conversations, and organize your scattered thoughts. 000
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 26/02/2026Legacy hardware will be no match for AI. It’ll feel like Iron Man’s phone taking over the courtroom TV screen. 210
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 18/09/2025I'm hiring a founding engineer, and a candidate was using AI during the intro interview. When I realized my heart sank. It was dishonest, but it was more sad that they felt desperate enough that they couldn't do it on their own (despite their impressive CV). 120
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 22/08/2025The current Google Fonts preview text is from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) 040
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 09/06/2025Turns out the Apple design team copied my jailbroken iPhone from 2010 030
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 22/05/2025Recently refreshed my website, check it out for some fun reads and interactivity. 000
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 21/05/2025Okay apple, here's what you need to do next. Hint: this is not what these responses should actually look like. 000
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 16/05/2025You know what? Google actually cooked with this new homepage. 010
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 14/05/2025You know, it's actually crazy that Apple neglected the primary thing that Siri needs. Chat history, search history, some sort of home for Siri. 200
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 17/04/2025You know how airpods automatically hijack your microphone input on Mac? I have a repeating shell command running inside Better Touch Tool that checks every few seconds to see if my airpods are connected. If so it forces microphone input from my AirPods to my lapel microphone. 000
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 15/04/2025I'd bet all the people building Loom clones are only doing it now because @thewebprodigies dropped a 16 hour tutorial in October. 000
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 15/04/2025I've seen the team at OpenAI talk about how they know they're bad at naming conventions, so I'd assumed it was a problem they were working on solving... but I can't believe that they truly just went from 4.5 to 4.1. Guys, it's not hard. Just increment the number. 000
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 14/04/2025It seems like Claude really wants me to use Gemini 2.5 pro. 000
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 12/04/2025I'm actually surprised how little I use AI image generators. They're fine for conceptualizing something that already exists, or putting a spin on something, but they're very bad at being very specific. 000
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 02/04/2025This is the moment in which I celebrate that the domain name for my website is my full name. jarren.rocks 010
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 02/04/2025As a designer and artist (who now is building a startup). I don't personally feel threatened by many AI tools (largely because my income is not dependent on a slow craft, but rather quick delivery and scale). 000
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 22/03/2025Writing startup names from pitch events is like playing chess with iOS autocorrect 010
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 21/03/2025The year is 2030. A wave of billionaires get incredibly sick because their robot assistants didn't wash their hands. 020
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 19/03/2025Me when someone starts a complement with “you’re a little crazy, but…” 010
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 18/03/2025In May of 2020, one month before GPT-3 was released, I released a video about the Universal Library in which I described a more connected internet. I'm glad to see that in retrospect conversational language models with tooling were right around the corner. 100
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 16/03/2025Claude 3.7 Extended can one-shot a Minecraft clone in less than one megabyte. 100
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 25/02/2025I'm a little ashamed to admit this, but I've avoided pencil & paper for years, convinced digital tools were better. Last week I bought a large sketchpad & pencil and my brain hasn't been this focused on the task at hand in a very long time. 020
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 25/02/2025The icons on perplexity are so close to meaningless. General rule of thumb: if your icon isn’t clear, use text. 000
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 25/02/2025YouTube is testing AI Auto-dubbed videos in recommendations on the home page. 000
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 21/02/2025In order to "Type to Siri" on your Mac, you have to have Apple Intelligence enabled. But in order to disable "Suggested Responses" in the Messages app, you have to disable Apple Intelligence. I can't tell if we're moving forwards or backwards. 020
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 20/02/2025I've never known a platform to punish its users more than cross platform Apple Music 000
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 20/02/2025I hope you're well rested and restored! For your journey ahead: 020
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 07/12/2024I have a minecon 2013 cape, it makes me feel special, and I want to be the only special person so I want nobody else to have capes including the other people who deserve them. /s Honestly the only thing about capes that bothers me is how they only bend at one point and clip through everything. 000
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 07/12/2024Give it a few years, and AI Tech Support Centers will have a "SHIBBOLEET" shortcut. 000
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 05/12/2024It's a hunch, but becomes more obvious when I see a pattern across multiple accounts. Technically this may just fall under "spam/scam account", but I've seen a few, so I think they're likely to be botted over time. 211
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 04/12/2024I want to go to a listening party for this album so badly. Maybe Nero should just tour this album again? 020
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 04/12/2024Okay stay with me Turns out if you're the Baron Harkonnen and you tell your nephew Rabban: "Squeeze, Rabban. Squeeze hard." but instead of Spice and the Fremen, it's actually about the algorithm and people on Twitter/X the people just go somewhere else because it's a website not a desert planet 020
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 04/12/2024Well... that's the first time I've seen the link icon used like that 000
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 04/12/2024It's actually wild how few commenters on my recent video actually watched the video before commenting. This viewer owned up to it, which I appreciate. The average watch length is 5:41 / 17:27 There are 171 comments, and most of them are not actually about the topic of the video. 010
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 02/12/2024Using Mac Virtual Display in the Apple Vision Pro is the best experience I've had of mirroring into VR so far. I thought it'd be a bit gimmicky, but I'm able to enter a flow state easily. 010
Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 29/11/2024Apple Vision Pro should always show eyes, or glow blue when immersive. In the rare moments when I'm using the device with people around, the glow still happens, which just makes the interaction that much more uncomfortable. I'd prefer to be able to glance at them without concern for some weird UI. 010
