a quantum computer just solved a 10^25-year problem in 5 minutes and you're laughing?

@levelsio If you pick 31/12/2024 you can't write the time as 11:27 and have to use 27:11

@jeffjarvis Completely unable to wrap their heads around how some people also value other things besides money

@javilopen And feeding it through Runway Gen-3 Turbo real quick

[Mark Visbeek @MarkVisbeek]

Mystic v2 in Magnific is actually batshit insane.

Just look at this level of detail – straight from a text prompt, no editing whatsoever

Is it a coincidence I made this yesterday? #illegaltransgenderalien

[Mark Visbeek @MarkVisbeek]

The real magic of GenAI for me is how fast you can bring your ideas to life with stunning detail.

This was a text-only concept from 2 years ago. I turned it into a video in under 4 hours.

Hallucination is creativity

[Shane Denson @medieninitiativ]

Hallucination is not a problem to be overcome. Rather, it is the very name of the game with generative AI. The whole point is to train machines to see figure & form where it is *not*, i.e. to hallucinate it or bring it forth from noise, chaos, or randomly distributed particles.

[Mark Visbeek @MarkVisbeek]

@CREdebtDorian @javilopen Would love to have Mystic beta access by the way!

@CREdebtDorian @javilopen Has to be the coral

If you haven't used Midjourney, now's your chance.

[Midjourney @midjourney]

The Midjourney web experience is now open to everyone. We're also temporarily turning on free trials to let you check it out. Have fun!

[Mark Visbeek @MarkVisbeek]

@BenjaminDEKR Curious if spoken language will remain at all, apart from as a pleasantly nostalgic way of slow communication.

[Mark Visbeek @MarkVisbeek]

@clairesilver @yajboo @BekaRiosART @Procreate It’s a tale as old as time. People have always used anything and everything they could find to help express themselves creatively – rocks, sticks, clay, paint, gold, drums, plastic, cameras, guitars, synthesizers, computers, clothes, phones, plotters, robots, lasers, and now AI.

[Mark Visbeek @MarkVisbeek]

@yajboo @BekaRiosART @clairesilver @Procreate My point is that automating the craft of penmanship does not diminish the creative merit of writing. Automating the craft of mixing colours (Procreate) does not diminish the creative merit of painting. Automating tedious parts of a process doesn’t necessarily kill creative merit.

[Mark Visbeek @MarkVisbeek]

@BekaRiosART @clairesilver @Procreate I'm sorry but I feel this is an unproductive discussion if you're just mocking my words without actually addressing them, so I'm out. Good luck with everything.

[Mark Visbeek @MarkVisbeek]

@BekaRiosART @clairesilver @Procreate If you're saying that the creative decision to brush a specific stroke is somehow fundamentally different than the creative decision to write a specific prompt, then you're right – it is not in my capability to understand why that is not harmful gatekeeping of what creativity is.

[Mark Visbeek @MarkVisbeek]

'No rules' is so, so, so important to the future of creativity.

@Procreate has every right to refuse AI in their products, but please stop pretending it's to 'protect creativity'.

[Claire Silver 🌸 @ClaireSilver]

@Procreate Most of my early work is made with a combination of AI and Procreate. 7 years ago, before text to image was really even a thing.

I loved procreate because it used tech to boost accessibility. Like AI, it augmented trad skill to allow more people to create.

No rules, only tools.
