His point is that it's so similar it's in the uncanny valley - it's subtle but I'd have to agree.
🤷 The pictures are great though. You inspired me to start playing with Midjourney.

Man, the Diaz brothers are marketing geniuses.
Nothing he could've said in this interview would have made this fight more hyped up.
But you know what would make it more exciting?
Walking out in the middle of the interview.

The people who say you don't have a chance against that guy are ridiculous.
Everyone pretends that boxers are the greatest strikers to walk the face of the Earth.
The theme for 2024 is:
"Act as if."
No "asking permission."
No acceptance of "my station in life."
We will move forward as if we are already in charge.
Because we are.

That's exactly my thought too. Everyone is concerned that AI is going to take over writing, music, and everything creative but it's a facsimile of the real thing, it's not the real thing.
AI outputs will be missing that "je ne sais quoi". True passion will shine through. 🤖🚫♥️
Time to start elucidating what the Steel Orca Interoperability Protocol is.
Four main tenets:
▪️ Convergence
▪️ Synergy
▪️ Transparency
▪️ Resilience
We're building this in public. I don't have all the answers yet, but I'm just going to start writing it all out.
Strap in.🚀🐬
@catalinmpit
3 rounds of interviews, max.
If they do anymore that means they don’t have people who can evaluate you accurately, or they’re full of bloated recruiting practices. Both are red flags 🚩
@icreatelife
I fed a picture of a flooded train platform into Midjourney and it came up with this.
I really like it. I find it a little unsettling to be honest.
His melty mouth, the fact he seems to be eating garbage, and how his face looks freaked out all adds to it.
Happy Friday everyone!

Any chance we accidentally stumble into a Primer (Shane Carruth film) scenario where we also accidentally discover time travel?
Here’s hoping.

Hey Kris (and everyone else):
I like DJing (house music), AI art, and technology.
I want to grow because I want to eventually build up my website, though I don't have any specific aspirations related to money or anything like that right now - it's just art for art's sake.

Intermittent fasting literally solved lifetime obesity for me. 35 years of being overweight solved in just under two simply by adopting a 16/8 fasting schedule, then exercising a bit (not even that much).
Now I stop eating at 7 pm at least 5x a week and don't eat until 11 am. 🍽️

Considering how awesome Gane started, the latter half of his UFC career has been “meh” at best.
Tuivasa fight was pretty good, but that’s about it.

I saw them at

& wasn't even into
@daftpunk
(I was there for the
@RATMofficial
co-headliners on night 2) but I did almost die of thirst in the Vegas heat because we didn't want to lose our spot at the front. Worth it.
It got me into EDM.
Still have the t-shirt too.

@nickdiaz209
on the floor of the Aria one time, and he was a super friendly, nice guy.
One of the most pleasant celebrity interactions I've ever had.
Rick Moranis is trending right now, but it's just because he's awesome.
It made me nervous but he's still very much alive.
Hard to pick but I'd have to go with Spaceballs for my favorite performance of his, though I probably watched Honey I Shrunk the Kids more times as a kid.
500 followers! 🥳
Halfway to breaking out of “beginner hell” as they describe it here.
Immediate next steps:
- Build my landing page.
- Restart my newsletter.
- Post more consistently.
- Write more long-form posts.
If anyone out there is struggling to gain momentum, DM me.🗣️
I finally hit 200 followers.
To be honest, I've been here before.
But the last time I hit it, it was probably 20-25% bots.
And the number went way down after a shadowban.
This feels a lot more sustainable and like it's 200 actual people I vibe with.
On to the next milestone.
@hubermanlab
This makes a lot of sense to me.
I have been focusing on reading and writing a lot more over the last year and have noticed that I’m a lot more capable in terms or music and verbal fluidity as well.
@JaneAlexinee
I've been telling my clients:
"I asked our future robot overlord and it said..." and that usually lands with a slightly uncomfortable laugh. 😂
🤖
Just passed 300 followers! 🤯
Finally starting to gain some momentum on here.
The trick for me doesn’t seem to be posting, or engaging constantly.
It’s following people I like, then sending a DM.
People said that before but I wished I would have listened earlier.
It works.📈

There's no doubt in my mind that dollar for dollar,

His win over Poirier was so exciting I will remember it forever.

Happy Tuesday morning, everyone! 🌄
Most parents are back to the grind of work + school/daycare drop-offs, commutes, and after-school extracurricular activities.
It can be a grind, but it's all worth it.
If you're struggling with anything at all, feel free to reach out.

Going to bed now.😴
I've been staying up way too late this week, and haven't been sleeping properly.
Before I do though, I recommend you all listen to:

That song is genius and criminally underrated.
It also inspired this artwork that I really love.
Wednesday evening feels. 🦖
This one is the result of a game me and my 5-year-old came up with called "Word Crash".
The gist is everyone says a random word on the count of three.
There are no limits on the number of participants.🗣️

Going on the longest work trip of my life starting Saturday morning.
Pretty nervous to be leaving the family that long, but it's a major opportunity.
Hopefully will be documenting some of the journey on here (I bought a selfie stick).

@johnsummit
And, in my opinion, don't be overly self-critical when you're starting out to the point of stunting your initial progress. They're not all going to be gems the first time through but time + consistent work should yield a diamond here or there (hopefully). Just have to keep at it.

One of my closest friends died because of alcohol.
I grew up in a small town, and I would have to use my fingers and toes to count the number of kids I grew up with who died because of drinking and driving.
And yet, I haven't entirely quit drinking.
What's up with that?
Hey Twitter family and friends!
My vision came to fruition perfectly.
Look how good this looks and I didn't even try.
Live!

I would think you'd also need to consider the nutrition of wild bison roaming the plains would be wildly different than factory farmed cows (which I would think are the majority of the population in question), and that might have an effect on their "outputs". Just a thought. 🦬

100%.
Saturday is actually a big test for him and should be an indicator if he’s still a contender.
Weird considering he’s the former interim champ, but that’s how it goes.
Last work day in Tokyo. 🗼
Presentation day! 👨💼
Wish me luck! 🍀
(I’ve got the crazy eyes because we haven’t been sleeping much this week.) 🥱
One more sleep and on the plane back home. Looking forward to seeing the family! 👨👩👧👧
Microsoft is really nailing it lately.
Bing Chat is free.
Bing Image Creator is free.
Microsoft Designer is totally free.
It all works together completely seamlessly.
I was able to cancel my Midjourney and Canva subscriptions based on all of this.
Pretty awesome.

Focus is way off but mental health is way up. 🎧👨💻🎨
I think the art focus seems like a good path towards AI alignment.🤖
People are concerned AI will eventually destroy us but if we can align it towards beauty and meaning by way of art and music things might be ok. 🤷
🚀🐬
No office today.
Just app development at a coffee shop in preparation for a big presentation tomorrow (gonna wear a suit and everything). 👨💼
Started the morning off right with a big run.
I went from not running at all the last four months to 30 km in a week.
Back at it. 🏃💨
Referring to people as "providing so much value" really seems to commoditize the human experience in a way I'm not comfortable with.
"Talked to this guy for an hour - he provided so much VALUE" is not a way I speak even in my 9-5.
We aren't machines to be extracted from.
👨💻🤑
If you're trying to build something different:
You will need to sacrifice sleep.
Disagree?
I don't see a way around it.
Especially if this is a "side hustle".
It took me approximately a decade to establish myself as a competent leader in my field.
I would imagine that kind of timeline is probably typical in most careers.
I would also delineate between being a competent leader and being in a managerial position. Those are different.
Also, thanks entirely to

every time I drink now I think about how I'm upsetting my hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and then about how many days it will take me to get back to baseline.
Anecdotally, about 4 days.
Saturday drinks 🍻

Wednesday full recovery.
