@hpierrejacques @StreamOnMax @theweeknd wait super curious to know why you loved it, I’ve heard polar opinions, but they’re always extreme (I loved it, best show! vs. I hate it, absolute trash)

Hate to be one of those “Long SF” people but I can’t deny I had a super awesome day tuning into the #OctoAI launch from a coworking space in SF. This city is truly buzzing with builders 24/7. No better place to host the launch event tonight @OctoML

(2/2) can any patent or IP lawyers lean in to discuss how the litigation landscape might look overtime? Who owns the IP of an app built on top of a #foundationmodel? My fear is that hype and lawsuits are besties and go everywhere together :( #dalle2 #openai #GenerativeAI #gpt3

[Maya Matthews @MayaJMatthews]

Generative AI (apps/infra) has been talked about for a while (esp if you are an avid @Gartner_inc subscriber), but new fundraises and think-pieces are pointing to a new hype season…much needed break from chatting about crypto winter / market downturns etc. (1/2)

[Maya Matthews @MayaJMatthews]

Anyone know someone who knows someone who will be at Money 20/20 in Las Vegas? Trying to meet any B2B Fintech companies and investors esp. in fraud / ID verification, Fintech data infra, AI/ML dev platforms, etc. 👀 #money2020 @money2020 #fintech

[Maya Matthews @MayaJMatthews]

@gretel_ai So excited for this!!

[Maya Matthews @MayaJMatthews]

The candor in these kinds of threads gives me hope 🥹
