This designer’s video has pulled down 9M views, 3k comments and prob as much work as this guy will ever want.

- Hook peaks your interest
- Voiceover makes the story even better
- Visual builds throughout
- Payoff at the end

10/10 short-form execution, love this content series for a graphic designer, and it could be replicated 100 times in any market.

@page_eco Yeah, its a masterful show on so many levels. I didn't even watch until 5/6 years after it ended and everything still felt so relevant and urgent. You could probably teach an entire economics curriculum just based on plots and scenes from it.

It's time we bring together the innovation state and welfare state. In my new blog for @GPforEducation, I discuss how investing in education is a critical driver of a dynamic economy – it’s our most important asset.

Anyone who's ever thrown a screwdriver while trying to assemble a piece of furniture may find it hard to believe, but the Hug chair was designed by a student to reduce stress, even during assembly. https://t.co/wpYYEsjsam

ChatGPT has been basking in the AI limelight, but @Unbabel is doing the most compelling work in this space. They're combining LLMs + EMGs to enable communication via thoughts alone.

“If you’re in a creative business, once you have AI engines that write, design, or do things, the threshold for what counts as creativity gets more clearly illuminated.” @michaelbierut talks to @TheDieline about how technology has changed design over the years & why AI may not be a bad thing

Exploring Spatial Commerce opportunities @Shopify with Vision Pro on the horizon…

It's going to be fun pulling product demos right off the webpage and into the room 🤏✨🤯

[Desmond Dickerson @Desmondtality]

No matter how many examples I've seen, I'm still taken aback by capabilities of tools like this. #futureofcreativity

[Julie W. Design @juliewdesign_]

🔥 Midjourney v5.2 🔥
I can't believe it's not Photoshop!

So, what's new?
"Zoom Out" Feature + New "High Variation Mode"
#aicinema is about to go nuts with #midjourney52

let's put it to the test:

As the technology becomes ubiquitous, a vast tasker underclass is emerging — and not going anywhere. https://t.co/0lXAIWxUOd

These machines can create clean water from thin air, even in arid regions 💧♻️

AI leaders warn of 'extinction risk'

The "experts" continue to issue these warnings, but also continue to work on the tech they are warning about.

[Desmond Dickerson @Desmondtality]

@kateo Not sure about the first part but STRONG agree on the second. If not for saved time, do for the the THRILL!

(at least this was my pre-COVID stance, airports are always super backlogged now)

[Amy Jo Kim @amyjokim]

When @kevin2kelly first floated the idea of 1000 true fans in 2008, he was ridiculed.

Now... he looks prescient.

Where did this influential theory come from? And what does Kevin know about the "minimum viable audience" for Creator success?

[RADAR @Radarxyz]

we love this thinking on redefining dreaming from @annikaizora's talk, Dreaming as Planning

from understanding dreaming as resistance to productivity culture to the playspaces it inhabits, we're embracing this invitation to dream in pursuit of better futures ✨

[Desmond Dickerson @Desmondtality]

Generative AI has me rethinking the very definition of imagination. Having such widely accessible boosts to imagination seems like a huge win for everybody.

I liken it to the process of bouncing ideas off of others, except your creativity partner is ChatGPT or MidJourney.

[Desmond Dickerson @Desmondtality]

Loved this article from @natwnixon about the rise of "Artificial Imagination"

[Desmond Dickerson @Desmondtality]

This approach NEVER FAILS me. It's a big miss that companies don't incorporate it into their business cadence for ideation.

@KristyT I've been thinking about this exchange and the implications of it since I saw this tweet the other day. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Got me questioning what brands have successfully evolved their positioning in the minds of consumers aside from Apple.

[Desmond Dickerson @Desmondtality]

@flytip I like DF's game, but I don't think he has the star power that Ja has. But this Kings team is really fun to watch, so that could change.
