@sama This is near perfect timing. Frustrated with Cursor's implementation and this felt like such a gaping hole in the product offering to do XP with OpenAI, with no gap to the local code.

A few thoughts on the new ChatGPT image release.

(1) This changes filters. Instagram filters required custom code; now all you need are a few keywords like “Studio Ghibli” or Dr. Seuss or South Park.

(2) This changes online ads. Much of the workflow of ad unit generation can now be automated, as per QT below.

(3) This changes memes. The baseline quality of memes should rise, because a critical threshold of reducing prompting effort to get good results has been reached.

(4) This may change books. I’d like to see someone take a public domain book from
Project Gutenberg, feed it page by page into Claude, and have it turn it into comic book panels with the new ChatGPT. Old books may become more accessible this way.

(5) This changes slides. We’re now close to the point where you can generate a few reasonable AI images for any slide deck. With the right integration, there should be less bullet-point only presentations.

(6) This changes websites. You can now generate placeholder images in a site-specific style for any <img> tag, as a kind of visual Loren Ipsum.

(7) This may change movies. We could see shot-for-shot remakes of old movies in new visual styles, with dubbing just for the artistry of it. Though these might be more interesting as clips than as full movies.

(8) This may change social networking. Once this tech is open source and/or cheap enough to widely integrate, every upload image button will have a generate image alongside it.

(9) This should change image search. A generate option will likewise pop up alongside available images.

(10) In general, visual styles have suddenly become extremely easy to copy, even easier than frontend code. Distinction will have to come in other ways.

Shout out to Professor Valter Longo @UCSF, expert on IF, fasting-mimicking diets, mTOR, and my recent travel buddy with Steve Horvath to the Dead Sea. "Longo" is Italian for long/lanky. Guess which one is Valter. Article: 8 secrets of the longevity diet. https://t.co/UuWPJNRfy5

@bengreenfield + forskhohlii to the testing stack. Middle 600s in my 40s, doing TRT avoidance while driving to higher levels. Note with many products you have to double the dosage to get to 500mg to match the criteria of the double-blind study. https://t.co/heFCCAj43K full read

Sleep is 30% of your life, make it quality.

Work is 50% of your life, make it meaningful.

Play is 20% of your life, make it fucking epic.

Amateurs talk (strategy and) tactics, professionals talk logistics. @balajis on @tferriss referring to General Omar Bradley. M*A*S*H was an example of this, putting the hospital closer to the injuries - to maximize the effectiveness of troops.

“Sea of sameness” perfectly articulates how I think about so many businesses and the opportunity to disrupt them.

[Steph Smith @stephsmithio]

You don’t always need to reinvent the wheel.

As @ShaanVP said, anywhere that you see a “sea of sameness”, there’s opportunity.

Just walk down a CVS aisle to see just how much disruption is at your fingertips.

I’m with you @omarish, @stripe is well positioned with atlas and the standard API. Add a partner ecosystem like @segment to build the rest of the bits.

I'm almost certain that it's just a matter of time before incorporation and simple corporate finance will be doable in code, like this:
