Probably easier to raise money for an AI startup now than find a job

Don't know who needs to hear this but it's an absolutely brutal & ruthless job market out there. Not just tech but corporate work more broadly. Hearing…

They can't see it yet

Software developers have been automating everyone else out of a job for decades:
- manufacturing
- agriculture
- ecommerce
- banking
- media
- journalism

Now that it's their turn to be automated suddenly they're up in arms and protesting about it

One of the few people on here who seem to know about the Plaza Accord is @kdenkss

The Plaza Accord was literally the US forcing to tank the Japan economy by devaluing the USD and making the JPY too expensive to compete with US products

In the 80s, Japan…

Convinced the X algorithm rewards long posts about random topics now

This kind of post would have never gone anywhere a year ago

Meanwhile short posts like product updates get 4 likes now

So it seems to reward long form random curious content more, a lot…

@levelsio Can you summarize the book in the style of all those 0815 style twitter threads and use rocket and idea emojis and stuff? 😅

My brother is on X and also building with AI now

His garden keeps getting attacked by foxes at night who dig holes 🕳️

So he's building an OpenCV + AI vision robo turret to shoot them with 🔫

Because ambition left Europe for America on boats 200 years ago

One other thing I would add… there’s way more creator events here.

Dinners, conferences, meet ups

Why are there so few in Europe!?

mom: we have paw patrol at home

paw patrol at home:

My dream is to have a house inside a stone cliff on the beach

Imagine waking up to the sea and walking around through stone rooms

Would be so nice

An ironic effect of AI art is that exactly because it's so beautiful and so easy to make, people might get sick of it fast

Essentially AI will commoditize beautiful art then and it'll just be seen as cheesy

Already noticing this if I see art like this

What if your attempts at control are killing the things you care about?

Even got some NVEDUA

I watched @ylecun episode on @lexfridman and I think his bigger point is we should use a different architecture to actually make AI understand concepts

Instead of just autocompleting word tokens like in LLMs or pixels/patches in image/video gen

He wants…

Is it explainable that I am Dutch and European but highly risk seeking

I'm a DNA mutation in the European gene pool?

It’s a thing. It’s a long form of the DDR4 gene. (Basically, ppl with that allele are hyperdopaminergic…

There's endless ways to do things, nobody is saying our way is the only way

Dogma isn't smart generally

Way way bigger entrepeneurs indeed that focus on one thing like Bezos

🔎 Magnific AI's upscaler changed AI imaging

But there was never an API available so you could never integrate it in your apps + it wasn't open source

@philipp1337x reverse engineered it + open sourced it which means you can now run it on Replicate and add…

Tried @aidancramer's AI Apply today to apply to a job with AI

The job is on me and @AndreyAzimov's new site http://GetApplicantAI.com, which is also an AI which reviews (and scores) jobs applicants automatically using GPT4-Turbo

Open source always wins in the end https://replicate.com/philipp1337x/clarity-upscaler
