    Frame.io’s camera-to-cloud integration is mind-blowingly fast.

    Some audience pictures snapped by Adobe Principal Director Terry White at today’s Max event started appearing in Frame.io in real-time as he was taking them, without needing to connect the camera to a computer.

    And because his account was synced with Lightroom, they appeared there too — meaning there’s basically no delay for photographers to get their snaps ready for editing.

    The pictures were appearing on the big screen within 1-2 seconds.

    ‘BOOM, WHATUP HOMIES’

    Adobe design evangelist Michael Fugoso was so excited to demo Project Neo — an Illustrator-like app for 3D design that was teased last year — that it felt like Bill and Ted had taken to the stage.

    Project Neo is available as a free beta right now but we’ll hear more about general availability in the coming months.

    Speaking of robots...

    While Tesla’s Optimus bot can now hand out drinks, Agility Robotics’ Digit has been available to actually buy since 2020. It’s been deployed in environments like Amazon warehouses and Agility’s own RoboFab, where it’s used to move, load, and unload boxes.

    WoW, that’s a novel way to attract young Democratic voters.

    The latest tactic in Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign feels directly inspired by TikTok’s Subway Surfers attention stimulation gimmick.

    Tim Walz’s Arizona rally yesterday was broadcast on the campaign’s Twitch account in a split-screen view, with commentary and live World of Warcraft gameplay provided by streamer Preheat playing alongside it.

    AI is enabling job seekers to think like spammers.

    With so many job applications now being reviewed by automated AI software, it’s little wonder some people have embraced using bots like AI Hawk to apply to thousands of roles on their behalf.

    AI Hawk co-founder Federico Elia told 404 Media that he created the project to “balance the use of artificial intelligence in the recruitment process” and help re-level the playing field.
