21-year-old former flight attendant has been arrested after authorities uncovered a $3.3 million trafficking operation.
Not in cocaine or fentanyl, but in a new drug made from human bones.
You read that right.
HUMAN BONES.
Officials say the disturbing substance was being sold on the black market as an elite psychoactive drug and this suspect played a major role in the smuggling operation.
Reports indicate, this gruesome underground drug is created using chemically altered remains and has been circulating among the "global elite," raising new concerns about bioethics, organ trafficking, and just how far the powerful will go to chase a high.

@elonmusk @MarioNawfal Oh, the places we'll go when words make a fuss,
When saying 'you're fat' gets you chased by a bus!
The Emperor's naked, but no one can say,
For fear that the truth might get taken away!
@elonmusk, oh do tell, in this curious land,
Should we laugh or just give them a hand? 🫠

Make Art Not War: The Battle for Creativity
It's Adobe's annual Max event in London today and @scottbelsky's spotlight on AI paints a clear picture: AI isn't just on Adobe's agenda, it is the agenda.
Adobe has already scored a home run with generative fill in Photoshop, a feature now spawning entire categories of memes - including my own video, which surprisingly garnered a million views. However, Adobe's ambitions extend beyond still imagery.
The Tanker Charges Towards Video
At Max, Adobe's Chief Product Officer put an emphasis on AI video generation with Firefly Video. The tech tanker is charging full steam ahead to the next obvious modality for creation, leaving a wake of disruption for any upstarts bold enough to challenge it.
The announcement isn't new, but it showcases the emphasis on new product development with a marked increase in the velocity we can expect from the creative tech behemoth. The company that defined the norms of video editing with Premiere, and motion graphics with After Effects, has now entered the realm of AI-powered creation. The wake-up call is clear - the tankers are moving fast.
Goliath vs. The Upstarts
This development spells a daunting challenge for the numerous start-ups that dared to dethrone Adobe in recent years. For plenty of use cases people have been asking: Why use Photoshop when you have MidJourney? Why use Premiere when you have Descript? Why use After Effects when you have Runway?
These aspiring disruptors sought to chip away at Adobe's dominance by offering more specialized, user-friendly solutions - a process that can be characterized as the 'unbundling' of Adobe. Now, they face a head-to-head collision with the very Goliath they sought to topple.
Creators' Toolkit: A New Addition
But this imminent clash isn't just a tale of corporate competition. This is a story about the tools of creation and their impact on creators themselves and the very canvas of creation. The advent of Firefly, Adobe's AI-driven offering, reflects a broadening recognition of artificial intelligence as an integral part of the creator's toolkit. In other words, Adobe's massive ecosystem of creators needn't wade out into new waters to acquire AI capabilities -- they will simply be infused into the products they already know and (mostly) love, but more critically -- need to use every day to get creative stuff done.
The Increasing Stickiness of Adobe's Tools
The intersection of AI and creative tools like Photoshop's generative fill is transforming how creators perceive and interact with AI. When they encounter the innovative features of generative fill, they're not primarily thinking about the AI technology that powers it. Instead, they're marveling at the cool new tool that's now part of their beloved Photoshop.
This immediate affinity for "Photoshop" masks the sophisticated technology behind it, essentially furthering Adobe's stronghold on the creative industry. Layer in Adobe's stance to training their AI models with sources like Adobe Stock that promise rock-solid data provenance, and you can see Adobe clearly wants to seem like the responsible adults in the room. After all Adobe elected not to put the Behance catalog to work, perhaps rightly so given the ethical backlash to the scraping Artstation imagery.
Adobe's Thirty Something Conundrum
But it's not all rainbows and sunshine. While Adobe sails ahead full steam, there's an intriguing conundrum waiting in the wings. With 30-year-old codebases forming the foundation of its most popular tools, Adobe faces a significant challenge: its software has back pain.
But it's not just a technical problem -- it's also a philosophical one, akin to the ship of Theseus. Can Adobe modernize and refactor its code bases without sacrificing the essence that made these tools indispensable to creators? Can they innovate without alienating their long-time users who've grown accustomed to the 'Adobe way' of doing things?
An Unexpected Solution?
Interestingly, solutions might emerge from unexpected quarters. Perhaps it'll take an army of developers armed with GitHub Co-Pilot to alleviate Adobe's refactoring nightmare. By automating parts of the refactoring process, it could accelerate the evolution of Adobe's legacy tools, making them more adaptable to the rapidly progressing tech landscape while preserving their core functionality.
In a twist of irony, the AI that's reshaping Adobe's offerings might just come to the rescue of its own legacy.
As Adobe navigates these murky waters, opportunities are emerging for new entrants in the field. Startups might also find their moment to shine in the midst of Adobe's strategic and technological shifts. With their innovative approaches and less-encumbered platforms, they have the chance to offer alternative solutions to creators seeking novel, efficient, and intuitive tools.
The Battle for Creativity
The tech giant's journey through a massive transformation at a previously unfathomable speed will set the course for the next era of creative technology. Given the sheer ubiquity of Adobe tools today, it's by far the most common way creators will experience AI.
But let's be honest -- this transformation will not be easy. The future of creative tech isn't written yet and as a growing line up of new entrants vie for the prize, one thing's for sure: it's going to be a darn good fight.
Make Art Not War
In the end, it is the creators who stand to gain the most. As Adobe and its competitors lock horns, they'll strive to deliver increasingly powerful, intuitive, and efficient tools. But, it's up to the creators themselves to harness these innovations. Only by embracing and mastering these new tools can they unlock their full creative potential.
So what are you waiting for? Wield these new tools at your disposal and turn your imagination into reality. We are the architects of a new era of creative self expression.

Q: "After doing AI for so long, what have you learned about humans?"
Sam Altman: "I grew up implicitly thinking that intelligence was this, like really special human thing and kind of somewhat magical. And I now think that it's sort of a fundamental property of matter..."
It's a fascinating thought. As we peel back layers of scientific discovery, we do seem to distance ourselves from the "main character energy" role in the universe. Yet, even if we aren't unique in our intelligence, there's a profound importance in our human existence that needs preserving.

Descriptors for Image Prompts
Words, mainly adjectives, to add to your prompts to help create different aesthetics and vibes.
This is by no means a complete list. I'm working on it 😂. I'm also working on a website, and these words/lists that I'm compiling will all live there, along with many other fun things!! In the meantime, here's the long list.
Prompt for the image in ALT (used some of the descriptors).
P.S. You can call these something else, too, style or aesthetic, for example. However, some of the words are not "purely" a style - so I just call them descriptors.

Big News. NVIDIA just announced Neuralangelo.
The new model can turn videos from any device into detailed 3D structures, fully replicating buildings, sculptures, or other real world objects or spaces virtually.
Here's how it works:
A model utilizes a 2D video with multiple angles of an object or scene. It selects frames from different viewpoints to understand depth, size, and shape.
The AI creates an initial 3D representation, similar to a sculptor shaping a subject. The render is optimized to enhance details, like a sculptor refining texture.
The outcome is a 3D object or scene suitable for virtual reality, digital twins, or robotics.
