"When models are trained on past data, they are trying to replicate past successes." This is a good read. >> The Age of the Surefire Mediocre, by @brianklaas open.substack.com/pub/brianklaas…

@ericasmyname The last time I disappeared for 6 months, I ended up writing an album of songs. Unabashed plug: acid42.bandcamp.com/album/the-mode…

You have 2 choices: 1. Sound like everyone else (easy likes) 2. Sound unique (harder but more personal + interesting) You can't differentiate if you sound like a meme. Differentiation leads to personalization, trust, loyalty, & conversions. To this meme: Disappear forever pls

@WriterLionel @ericasmyname Here you go. Normally I charge $997 for this but just for you I'm giving it away. 🤣 docs.google.com/document/d/1XK…

@agfinn @ericasmyname OMG> It's real!!!! I LOVE IT!

“I could charge $997 for this but I decided to give it away for free” Omg just charge the money or don’t. Stop this behavior. Stop it now.

@0xgaut Ad-ult Swim.

@KettlebellLife @0xgaut They put in all the extra fingers of their models.

@0xgaut Is no one gonna talk about the "more secret things"?

@fortelabs This would be a valuable 1,000 word blog post.

And I think I’m relatively well positioned to weather the changes. In some ways very well positioned I predict the ontological/emotional process of adapting to shifting timelines will be one of the biggest challenges of AI

I’m feeling a broad loss of motivation for many projects and goals that used to excite me due to what I’m seeing with AI It’s not fear of AI apocalypse, or fear that I’ll lose my job, or anything like that…

@ericasmyname Reminds me of that Bob Newhart skit...

@agfinn @ericasmyname Now I want access to that super secret Google Doc. LOL.

@ericasmyname You should charge $997 for this advice. But instead wrap it in a Google Doc and give it away by replying with the word "stop it". 🤣

Word for the day: discombobulated.

What keeps me busy when the work day ends...

@2ndHandBookery Justice League, the Snyder Cut

@GailSimone Because they're banning books here.

Why does it seem like every country we visit has five times as many bookshops as the US?

@DT_comic As the copywriter, I feel attacked. 😅

Anatomy of a Zoom call. A thread 🧵

@thewildwong Life's too short to plod through an unremarkable book.

Do I keep reading the other half of the book I'm not thrilled about or do I pick a new one from the ever-growing pile?

@helloanand I seriously had to ask someone in the meeting what it stood for.

@WriterLionel That’s so funny 😆

Every single time someone mentions "ICP" at a #marketing meeting, I have to remind myself they're not talking about Insane Clown Posse.
