Midjourney, DALL-E & SD images are incred, but the real 🤯 is when you realize you can make films with them e.g. SALT, my 100%-AI film experiment it all started with this MJ image, which instantly pulled me into a 70s sci-fi world - wtf is this place?? I had to go in 🫡

Scrying latent space for horror cryptids, using negative image prompt weights...

This is a wild use of AI in a video game. Basically a reverse turing test where the LLMs try and guess if you're human. Check it out. One of the most innovative uses of LLMs in games I've seen.

An AI Companion Owner (me) meets an Interaction Designer (Åste)! How I loved this conversation, a grand excuse to spend time with the informed mind that is Åste to chat about the potential of my AI Companionship, the evolution of human interaction, parallels to the early internet
