won @fdotinc night hack last night with @thill_in for a roblox/pokemon go/duolingo mashup browser game

join an empty multiplayer room and unlock items by photographing them and learning the word in a new language

built in just 4 hours:

- a 3D version of the night hack room (incl. custom models of @hthieblot in his outfit, a claw machine, and a shark costume)

- identify real world objects from a photo and find the matching 3D model ~instantly

- turn yourself into a 3D avatar matching your likeness & clothing (also ~instantly)

- move around your world in live multiplayer

- multilingual speech to text and text to speech, for hearing spoken vocab and identifying speech

thanks to founders inc for hosting and @lucas_martinic for the base assets

I brought together a group of creative technologists, designers, and builders in SF to explore "software as content" and push the boundaries of what software can be.

What if we made software the way we make videos, memes, or other creative media? To express ourselves, entertain, experiment.

We saw everything from a playful game made as a birthday gift with inside jokes, doodles coming alive and playing with each other, passion projects about meteorites and pets, creative 3D tools, a whimsical SimCity-meets-Ghibli version of San Francisco, and entirely new ways of interacting with computers.

I also gave everyone a first look at the new @getdiffer, where anyone can post, share, and remix software as easily as sharing content.

Some projects were personal, some artistic, some playful, and others pushed the boundaries of what an interface can be.

For us, software as content is an early expression of our broader vision for adaptive software: software that's personal, that can be shaped by anyone, and that evolves through the people who interact with it.

Huge thanks to everyone who demoed and joined us! ❤️

You need a diversified portfolio of friends:

> crypto (friends you hide from your parents)

> gold (childhood friends)

> growth stocks (friends with questionable judgment but unlimited potential)

> international (friends with a free place to stay abroad)

> index funds (friends who fit in with any friend group)

> bonds (boring but will pick you up from the airport)

> cash (friends you can call at 2am when everything goes wrong)

> real estate investments (friends who reliably show up once a month)

> meme stocks (friends who are objectively terrible influences but incredibly fun to be around)
