Today my AI assistant made a note in my profile "User has a yard and mows it themselves". So I guess I've experienced my first AI microaggression.

If you're looking for a cheap thrill, I'd recommend asking ChatGPT for holiday cookie recipes then blinding following instructions with no further diligence

Let's not forget Google's own LLM, LaMDA, literally convinced one of their engineers that it was sentient.

Will Google go the way of the dinosaurs? @parmy says it faces an existential threat from ChatGPT https://t.co/FhWzxZB6pr via @opinion

ChatGPT is one of those rare moments in technology where you see a glimmer of how everything is going to be different going forward.

Really enjoying the term Fractional Executive. It dresses up "consultant" (which in turn dresses up freelancer) and conveys a sense of importance through its sheer inscrutability.

Going to start applying it to other areas in life. Not a bad husband, a "Fractional Listener", etc.

I wanted to preview of one of the coolest products from the @scale_AI labs.

We're enabling marketers to AI-generate UNLIMITED and INFINITELY CREATIVE images of their products for:
- ad creatives
- brand campaigns
- social media

Every image in this thread is AI generated🧵

I'm super appreciative of everything @photomatt and WP did for the Internet in the aughts. But it ain't the aughts no more. Time to move on.

[Joe @JoeDColeman]

Stepping into a co's WordPress install is like walking into a hoarder's home. Cluttered. Looks bad. Smells bad. No one can remember why things are the way they are, only that they are "important". But between the pizza boxes and beer bottles is a narrow path that "just works".

Awesome use of Stable Diffusion. The creativity of this community is amazing!

[ScottieFox @ScottieFoxTTV]

I was awoken in the middle of the night to conceptualize this project. Stable Diffusion in VR + touchdesigner = realtime immersive latent space. Tests continue today!

People in 1999 said "if only I invested in MSFT in the 80s", people in 2018 were like "if only I bought BTC in 2011", people in 2027 will say "if only I went all-in on synthetic media in 2022"

[Matt DesLauriers @mattdesl]

holy damn this AI synthesized media is beginning to escalate quickly. 🤯

Is AI ready to replace product photography? I attempt to find out..

This is the right day to read @JenSeniorNY on the lasting grief of 9/11—which was awarded a Pulitzer earlier this year: https://t.co/T5B38X1hiI

Can't imagine what an amazing feeling this must be for those soldiers.

Civilians coming out to cheer advancing Ukrainian soldiers who have just freed them from Russian occupation...🇺🇦

It's easy to imagine a markup language for GPT-3 that makes its use as a writing assistant a lot more intuitive. <summarize>, <emphasize>, <listify> 🤔

[Joe @JoeDColeman]

A common GPT-3 question is how to get it be more verbose (surely this has nothing to do with term paper word counts..). Been playing with @goodside's string replacement prompts and found inline markup is an effective way to coax GPT-3 into extending ideas.

You can even define a new tag that will generate the appended text, then rewrite the entire paragraph for cohesiveness.
