@Stretchedwiener @Variety A VFX wizard might watch 100 movies to prep for building effects for an upcoming feature, and you can notice different visual influences from the films they’ve watched in the images/storyboards they model. How is this any different from what AI does?

[Jared Lafitte @JaredLafitte]

@Stretchedwiener @Variety AI building scenes inspired by training media is not “labor laundering.” Human creatives make original art built from thousands of influences without paying/crediting every artist they learned from. How is AI art any different? All human or AI art comes from prior learned art

“What would the praise of the world be worth when one had stood in the presence of God?
The wealth of the world, what would it look like beside the treasures of heaven?
Man longs for power. But what is earthly power after one has seen the reality of heaven and the power of God?”
- Francis Schaeffer

@timsweetman Tried to help a little today! Great thread!

[Jared Lafitte @JaredLafitte]

Being Texas-born-and-raised, and experiencing H-E-B as a way of life throughout childhood, I found @timsweetman’s post very nostalgic and excellently written! You should take a few minutes to get to know more about America’s greatest grocery store!

[Tim Sweetman @timsweetman]

The battle for the greatest grocery store on earth has stiff competition.

But only one inspires tattoos, marriage proposals, and die-hard loyalty.

Welcome to H-E-B, where a $60 investment grew into a $43+ billion empire.

This isn't just a business story. It's a masterclass in scaling hospitality. 👇

Yes. Not being willing to adapt to AI in the late 2020s is like not being willing to adapt to electricity in the late 1920s.

[Julia McCoy @JuliaEMcCoy]

The most dangerous phrase in the next decade won’t be “AI took my job.” It will be “I didn’t think I needed to adapt.”

We might have to settle for the semicolon while we’re waiting on the em-dash grandfather clause to be generated. It’s not as versatile, but it’s the best we’ve got.

[Bob Wachter @Bob_Wachter]

I've used em-dashes my whole life — they add rhythm and grace to writing. But now they're an AI tell.
Can we get a grandfather clause for those of us who were fluent in em-dashes before ChatGPT launched in November 2022?

[Jared Lafitte @JaredLafitte]

When the value of possessing information is now approaching zero, it forces humanity to tap into qualities that are more exclusively human.

[Jared Lafitte @JaredLafitte]

One of the greatest benefits of the dawn of AI is that it will force human beings to be wise, creative, discerning, leadership-oriented, adaptive, etc… these qualities used to be optional; most people could spend their entire lives without them. Now, they will be essential.

[Julia McCoy @JuliaEMcCoy]

The skills that will matter most in 2027 aren’t technical.

They’re human.

Discernment. Empathy. Moral reasoning. Creative vision. Taste.

AI is about to commoditize everything that can be copied.

What can’t be copied becomes the most valuable thing on earth.

The future doesn’t belong to people who use AI best.

It belongs to people who are the most irreplaceably human.
