Rewind⁴⁶⁵, launched yesterday with a $10M investment from a16z¹²⁷. What’s it do?! Find anything you’ve seen, said, or heard. It records everything locally for privacy and has some compression magic (Pied Piper 👀). I can’t remember how many times I’ve tried searching my mac for a word and hoping it’ll show me where it’s mentioned in an obscure folder I archived 4 years, hidden and somehow synced to Dropbox. Now I can. You can watch their demo video here²⁴⁸.

ESM Metagenomic Atlas. Meta AI has created the first database that reveals the structures of the metagenomic world at the scale of hundreds of millions of proteins¹¹². These proteins – which are found in microbes in the soil, deep in the ocean, and even inside our bodies – vastly outnumber those that make up animal and plant life. But they are the least understood proteins on earth.

A piece of transitionary art¹⁸⁴ made with AI images and music.
