Holy cow, I work at Microsoft!. I’ve signed on with a great group of folks to bring generative imaging magic to as many people as possible, leveraging the power of DALL•E, ChatGPT, Copilot, and more to help make fun, beautiful, meaningful things.

@CatWorkers In college my roommates included Ken the Cat and Ken the Person. If you said just “Ken,” it was assumed you meant the cat, so for the guy you always had to stipulate “Ken the Person.”. Later we discovered that Ken the Cat was female when she gave birth to a litter under my bed.

Tesla Autopilot is the sketchiest product I’ve ever used. If you won’t save your money, at least save your life and don’t use it.
Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta is now available to anyone in North America who requests it from the car screen, assuming you have bought this option. Congrats to Tesla Autopilot/AI team on achieving a major milestone!.

@Carnage4Life We saw exactly the same thing in response to Secret Service failures around the Trump assassination attempt. A reactionary former coworker started screaming “DEI!!” I asked for evidence, and of course he had zero. Same energy:

I'm 48 now & joined Adobe when I was 24, meaning that soon I'll have spent fully half my life being a PM working on creative imaging. How very lucky I have been. 🙏☘️.

@PatriotChris__ @atrupar I managed Photoshop for 10 years at Adobe. That shit was Photoshopped on. But this fat orange fuck tells you not to believe your eyes and you lap it up like a dog.

Semi-legendary story: Some Googler was chilling in what he thought was a conference room named “Vint Cerf,” only to have the real man walk in and politely shoo him out of what was actually his office. 👀.

Seriously. “Responsible AI” folks would’ve smothered Photoshop in the cradle 30 years ago.
This article feels like alarmist journalism. Let's break it down:. 'Look what the AI did!' . after you explicitly told it to do that. At what point do we shift responsibility from tool makers to users? We can't bubble wrap every technology. That said, the ease of bypassing

@Carnage4Life Man, I worked there for seven years, and I learned right away that you’re not a Googler until you start complaining about amazing free stuff. Grab a handful of GSUs and dry those tears, my loves:

@RealJamesWoods I know you care about children, Jimmy. I watched you hit on one for hours at the St. Regis one night. You probably never sealed the deal, but it was fun watching your crypt-keeping ass try.

Why does @Photoshop now consume 3+ gigs of disk space?. Bored & curious, I poked around the app bundle. You can carbon-date components by their binary size & UI dimensions; example attached. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
