All of these “don’t worry about AI because this prototype I asked to do my job made a minor mistake” takes are not going to age well, unfortunately.

@TwitterDev Sign me up, @elonmusk!!!

How I'm beginning to feel about Twitter and Meta.

Doris Lessing: “You know, when I was a girl, the idea that the British Empire could ever end was absolutely inconceivable. And it just disappeared, like all the other empires.”

[Paul Buchheit @paultoo]

Google may be only a year or two away from total disruption. AI will eliminate the Search Engine Result Page, which is where they make most of their money.

Even if they catch up on AI, they can't fully deploy it without destroying the most valuable part of their business!

[Matthew Buck @techpeace]

@TwitterSupport He’s trying to destroy it, y’all.

[Matthew Buck @techpeace]

@elonmusk @hankgreen Yes.

[Matthew Buck @techpeace]

Did you know there’s a simple way that YOU can help destroy the value of @Twitter (as if that process needed helping along)? Follow these simple instructions to block all of their most lucrative advertisers!

Hooray, free speech! Right @elonmusk?! 🎉

@AdultingADHD I bought a couple of giant analog timers to have an audiovisual reminder of the passage of time when I’m on-task.

Calling it now: most of Twitter’s Daily Active Users are gone a year from now.

If you disagree, drive over to my place in your fully autonomous Tesla and let’s chat about it! 🚗

Sometimes it's tough to see the problem with building your app inside a walled garden until the garden catches fire.

@goodjobjordan_ @alexandr_wang I think the point is more about what the technology will be able to do than what it can do right out of the gate.

[Matthew Buck @techpeace]

@adhamelarabawy @alexandr_wang @scale_AI @kamath_harish Amazing work! I’ve also been experimenting with product photography. Started with img2img, then went on to build fine-tuned textual inversion models. I’m really intrigued by how you are maintaining logos!

Anything you can share about the general approach?
