All of these “don’t worry about AI because this prototype I asked to do my job made a minor mistake” takes are not going to age well, unfortunately. #ChatGPT

How I'm beginning to feel about Twitter and Meta. Doris Lessing: “You know, when I was a girl, the idea that the British Empire could ever end was absolutely inconceivable. And it just disappeared, like all the other empires.”

Google may be only a year or two away from total disruption. AI will eliminate the Search Engine Result Page, which is where they make most of their money. Even if they catch up on AI, they can't fully deploy it without destroying the most valuable part of their business!

Did you know there’s a simple way that YOU can help destroy the value of @Twitter (as if that process needed helping along)? Follow these simple instructions to block all of their most lucrative advertisers! Hooray, free speech! Right @elonmusk?! 🎉
Good morning! To encourage Twitter to drop Alex Jones, I just blocked the Twitter accounts of every Fortune 500 company w/ a Twitter presence. Ready to mass block Twitter's most lucrative advertisers with me? There are three quick & easy ways. Instructions are in this thread.

Calling it now: most of Twitter’s Daily Active Users are gone a year from now. If you disagree, drive over to my place in your fully autonomous Tesla and let’s chat about it! 🚗

Disco Diffusion describes itself as "A Frankensteinian amalgamation of notebooks, models and techniques for the generation of AI Art and Animations.” Their Discord already has thousands of folks sharing ideas and techniques for synthetic media: https://t.co/RMy3wt70Mm

Midjourney was initially implemented only as a Discord bot. That meant you needed to join their server to use it (though it now has a web app). You should join the Discord anyway, as it’s fascinating to watch folks create with AI in real time! https://t.co/7ClTiI3v4k

Finally gave this technique a shot! 🤯 #AIArtwork #stablediffusion
AI selfies: custom tuned #stablediffusion embeddings that let you generate flattering images of yourself in any context and style - #nofilter 😅 this already works with just ~5 ref images 🤯 Me at Woodstock, seemingly under the influence:

Yes indeed. I set up @ChaosReactor on @discord because of my experience with @SlackHQ actively trying to hamper my efforts to build @ConvoCollective on their platform. Permanent invite links won my ❤️
Every open source community I'm in that was on Slack has now moved to @discord because of Slack's restrictions on the free tier. Maybe @salesforce (which owns Slack) doesn't care, but these are hearts and minds of the leading edge of developers. This will have long-term impact
