@multimodalart @deepfloydai @StabilityAI @AlibabaGroup Posts like this (very good, BTW) remind me that I’m so old that I remember a time when the standard reaction in the IT industry was: “What’s that? Open source?? Gross.”

Now: “Is that NOT open source? Why?? What’s wrong with you?”

I think I have seen the first #AI-generated article from LinkedIn. I took 3 screenshots:

It first appears at the top of your feed. Then you click on it and you find a series of placeholders where you can add your “insight” to the text that the AI has already generated. https://t.co/MF1lKNHvI3

We can’t let OpenAI/Microsoft and Google have all of it, can we? Especially when they are trying to not find themselves dependent on an NVIDIA architecture. https://t.co/bRYdiRsFvy

New glorious PR strategy from big tech: the Schrodinger strategy.

“We are announcing X. Maybe it’s ready, maybe not. You cannot know until you use it, but you can’t use it because we are not letting you use it. You have to earn it. By queuing. Virtually.”
