Goodbye Midjourney

It's only been a week since Flux dropped and people are going crazy over it.

Here're the 10 most jaw-dropping examples so far (Don't miss the 7th one)

I saw this nifty CSS Video Masking technique on the iPad website.

Pretty neat use of CSS - not what I expected!

There's some crazy cool Figma plugins out there.

Here's a list of some of my personal favorites. 👀

🚨 OpenAI just dropped a HUGE update.

This is the biggest update since the launch of GPT-4.

Here are 9 things you need to know (with use cases): 👇

Interpreting is for speech
Translation is for text

But Meta's newest model is multimodal and can process either speech or text input for speech-to-speech interpretation without making a detour through text translation #t8n #xl8 #1nt https://t.co/IdOrk2x7BC

[Kris Kashtanova @icreatelife]

A multidisciplinary team of archaeologists and computer scientists has developed an AI capable of translating the ancient Akkadian language from cuneiform tablets almost instantly. The language, which originated from the Akkadian Empire around 2300 B.C., has hundreds of thousands of known texts, but many remain untranslated due to the time-intensive process and the limited number of experts capable of performing it. The AI was trained on samples from the Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus and can translate both from transliterations of the original texts and directly from cuneiform symbols. Despite the occasional mistranslation, the AI has performed well in testing and could be used to rapidly translate the wealth of historical information contained in these tablets. The team published their findings in the peer-reviewed PNAS Nexus and released their source code on GitHub at Akkademia.

Using ChatGPT, Jasper or another AI tool to write articles?

I built an AI editor that trains itself on your published articles.

The result? An immediate upgrade over generic tools.

Oh, you can sign up for free too.

@GAiNcon do you have details on your next event? :)

[Robert Valencia @robertvalencia]

@AdventistComm Do you have the dates and location for the next convention? :)

[Robert Valencia @robertvalencia]

@rachelhxw @figma In the meantime, you could try @typefaceapp for some powerful font preview and management :)

@_Daviles That's pretty huge news!!!

[The Iconfactory @Iconfactory]

We pause to remember the life, art & legacy of Corey Marion, Iconfactory founder who passed away on Sun. Corey was a kind, talented & amazing person who touched the lives of all who knew him by his digital creations & generous deeds.

We love you, Corey🖖

Huge kudos to @signalapp for dramatically improving their UI in the last few years. I enjoy using it now, save for one crucial element. IMHO, the voice notes need a way to throttle the speed (1x, 1.5x, 2x at least). That would be an ultimate game changer for me!!

[Adventist Church @adventistchurch]

You’ve probably listened to at least one sermon this weekend. What’s your takeaway?

Tag the preacher or church if they have a Twitter account.

[Robert Valencia @robertvalencia]

@adventistchurch @newhopefulton 2/2 also this: the fact that we can’t sense God, isn’t an indication that God’s not there, it may be an indication that we’re in the wrong place (as in the case of Elijah, when he ran away).

[Robert Valencia @robertvalencia]

@adventistchurch I heard @newhopefulton’s Pr Mike’s 2nd sermon on the value of #Detours, my takeaway is that God always has a plan, and He can help us get back on track, even when we – or others – have messed up the plan. 1/2 https://t.co/9Pj75mBPWS
