Building generative AI systems is NOT about choosing the right model—it’s about balancing technical depth with real-world impact. 💡 @ravink.bsky.social (Google Labs) shares insights from his journey at SpaceX, Sweetgreen, and beyond. Full episode: vanishinggradients.fireside.fm/39

Evaling this model before it was released was quite fun. Glad to see it made it to the top of the people's preference

Safety is as important as model capability progression. Here's a list of references I've found helpful which come from a range of perspectives. ravinkumar.com/GenAi...

I'm going to be using this platform more if this test post works out well! Definitely time to move to a calmer portion of the internet.
