When puns come to mind, I need to see what they look like in visual form.

December in a nutshell.

Growing up I have always been obsessed with the book "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark"! It really sparked my imagination.

Today's AI exploration is in honor of what I imagine that could look like if remade into reality. Does anyone remember that series?

You’ve likely heard of Photoshop educator and Allstar Glyn Dewis if you’ve explored Photoshop education! I recently joined him on his YouTube channel to chat about retouching, art, and life. It was such a fun interview, and I think you’ll enjoy it!

What do you think the most surprising thing OpenAI is expected to share is?

Is this an appropriate analogy?

Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton compares open-sourcing large AI models to allowing people to purchase nuclear weapons at a convenience store like Radio Shack.

I am honestly so excited to be going live with Glyn!

He is someone I admire, a wonderful educator and exceptionally talented photographer! He knows his stuff and knows how to get people excited about it! Really honored to be a part of this!

Jiddu Krishnamurti spoke about ideas that resonate with today’s AI developments—40 years ago. Would you have imagined this back then?

Scientists discover the shape of a photon! 🤯

A quantum leap, literally. By understanding how light particles interact, we're closer to revolutionary tech like quantum computers and advanced sensors. This breakthrough could redefine fields like medicine and communication. Imagine the possibilities!

RunwayML introduces the Expand Video feature. This is great for fitting content into various aspect ratios without compromising context.

Expand Video has begun gradually rolling out and will soon be available to everyone.

You can use ChatGPT to find promo codes before any purchase and you won't have go digging through sites to try them out.

You can also download a Chrome extension like Honey to automatically find them as well, but it doesn't always seem to work as well.

Adam Mosseri has been constantly gaslighting us on Instagram on all the ways we needed to adapt to stay relevant. We changed how we created, how often we posted, cut the reach of people we follow, flooded our feed with random reels and ads. Now magically with Bluesky, they've changed their tune.

A.I. Jesus?

A church in Lucerne, Switzerland, has introduced “Deus in Machina,” an AI Jesus in the confessional booth. This art installation encourages visitors to share thoughts and questions, aiming to spark discussions on technology’s role in religion.

What do you think about it? Would you go?

This optical illusion will break your brain.

Looking at the skin tone of these two images, which one do you think is darker, the left or the right?

What if I told you that they're exactly the same? If you don't believe me, I made a video proving it:

This is why Bluesky is so great. The algorithm isn’t restrictive or suffocating. You really get to see what you want. It made me realize how archaic Meta’s algorithm is. They really imprison you into what they decide is best. I hope the rise of Bluesky makes them all adjust their tone.
