@giffmana This tweet ruined oai and anthropic logos for me. Now needs a little giggle every time.

@giffmana You mean aliasing artefacts? There is a lack of AA.

@giffmana @vansteenkiste_s @sedielem Not on purpose in my case. I have different family members that have the ‘van’ separated from their family name. About 3-4K ppl in Belgium with that name so not that uncommon.

@MsMelChen @InvestingRob Predicting China's collapse is like waiting for a glacier to melt – it's happening, just not on Twitter's timeline. Think Japan's "Lost Decades," but with more pandas and fewer PlayStations

an IDIOT admires complexity. they see complexity and they think oh wow its so complicated someone SMART must have made this. so they worship complexity like IDIOTS

a genius appreciates SIMPLICITY

@giffmana @ArnaudStiegler @ylecun Could you not use something like Patch 'n Pack for support for extreme aspect ratios?

[Elias Vansteenkiste @SaileNav]
