@henrythe9ths Ok - maybe this AI Guide could unlock TENDER 3.0! @adamberninger

There's a shocking fact about AI that nobody tells you: You can catch up to the public AI research frontier in just 2 weeks. Yes, really. I've built a $150M annual revenue startup over the last 8 years and If I were to start a company today, I’d drop everything and go all-in on AI. But like many busy software builders, I felt lost—overwhelmed by the noisy, crowded and fast-moving modern AI landscape. And I wasn’t alone. So I spent my entire holiday diving deep into AI research—reading 30+ papers, watching hours of lectures, analyzing trends, and catching up to the research frontier. ✨ Here’s what I learned: - You don’t need months (or years) to catch up. - You don’t need a PhD or decades of ML experience. - You need fewer than 20 papers and 2 weeks to understand the major breakthroughs shaping AI today. It's because the technology is extremely nascent and most techniques that came before are no longer relevant: - ChatGPT is barely 2 years old and Transformers are only 7 years old. - Most game-changing discoveries happened within the last 4 years, driven by a few breakthrough ideas, scaling laws, and efficient matrix multiplication. The biggest secret? Many groundbreaking AI papers with thousands of citations are surprisingly simple and applied, like adding "let's think step by step" to the prompt, or simply asking the LLM over and over again to improve its answer (Self-Refine). I realized there are tons of founders and builders in the same boat—wanting to dive deeper into AI but unsure where to start. I've created an essential AI Guide that helped me catch up, in just 2 weeks, to the frontier of public AI research to figure out where the next opportunities and gaps were: - Curated list of only the most important papers - Simple explanations of key concepts - Clear pathway to understanding the frontier of modern AI It’s perfect for: - Founders expanding into AI - Builders wanting to innovate at the frontier of AI - Investors looking to separate the signal from the noise 👇 Want the full guide? - Like and Share this post - Comment "AI Guide" - I'll send you the complete guide (ps, I’m also teaming up with @VishalVasishth, co-founder of @obviousvc with @ev (focused on large-scale societal impact companies like Twitter, Medium, Beyond Meat), to host a small meetup to discuss what's working and needs to be solved in the AI stack in SF.

@Rrose_Selavy_11 @objktcom @AIArtCritic @jesusdoteth How did I NOT know about you training under Nan Goldin?! Well…you were both fortunate to cross one another’s paths ❤️

For those who don't know: I'm trained as a fine art photographer (studied under Nan Goldin, among others). I've been creating AI post-photography since 2022. William x Lee #1 & #2, minted in Oct. 2022 an imagined collaboration between William Eggleston and Lee Friedlander

@ajberni Hi brother 🫂

hi 🖤 if I saw you just now, this is what I'd say first, no matter the time (gm time now : ) i'll always appreciate a good gm. still I find myself looking for ways to connect my online interactions back to the physical world, so whenever I just want to say hi from now on... I will! when I'm at my best, I'd give that hi with full authenticity... that is to say, love. here on our devices, I'll share that same expression through the addition of something simple I've made, something with the same intention... in a lot of cases that's an artwork of a flower, because to me they are a wonderful symbol of love in physical form. Over a year ago, I started making these flowers with AI because I wanted to share this expression of love every day, every gm. Many I never shared here, but some of them I started minting back then as part of my Germinations series on @objktcom – described here: "Artificial still lives that each have their own flavor of attraction – explorations in the vast variety & surprise of life. These flowers seek something new that’s as old as the pursuit of beauty, the cycles of birth + rebirth, and love itself." You can read more of my thoughts on flowers in the texts I've written for Cory Haber's Blooms and Phenomena's Rococo. I still make these flowers. Sometimes now they're just to give myself a little love. Sometimes I want to share that with you. Other times I share them to get a little love back, I admit it (go ahead and say hi back if you want : ). I believe we all oscillate between states of giving love, and longing for love – and find that the former is the best way of satiating the latter : )

@bitrocco @msoriaro She’s a beauty for sure

The poll results shows me that I need to collect what I like with intention to hold long term. 🫡 The “duck” contrapuntos by @msoriaro hold by @djdisdo

@onPolygon_ I think it’s time I’m sitting on one of these spaces with this crew - I’m more than just a husband 🤣 @jdisimone_ @LanaHopkins3 @bobbyhundreds

@sandcathype Love this

@sandcathype 👀

@jmurillocode @tender_art Welcome and see you on the inside!

Also finally a member of the @tender_art family. Welcome TENDER Pass #110.

@NftEconomist @rudxane1 Love ya @rudxane1 - forever - but I also love this evolution 🫂

@rudxane1 @djdisdo 😂

I love to dive into art. Sometimes I do it by writing. But sometimes an artwork just needs some time to sink in. It was such a blast to stitch @rudxane1's Giant Steps. Someone once made a reference to jazz. It's funny, but when I stitched it, I had the same association. 🪡🎺

I'm so proud of @ganchitecture and @ajberni for making this stunning eth debut for @tender_art using the @artblocks_io engine. I was lucky to mint these two beauties, but honestly, would be happy with any and all of the outputs #tendered. Minting here: tender.art/project/eth/Tur

Stunner 🖤🩶🤍

@Rrose_Selavy_11 @evan_greene_ @KenconsumerE @tender_art It's controlled chaos and I'm here for it.

@djdisdo @evan_greene_ @KenconsumerE @tender_art What a stunner!! 💖

Congratulations to two friends @evan_greene_ and @KenconsumerE from the @tender_art family that collaborated on this beautiful project: SCULPT. Here is my #7. Perfectly packaged. The project is still minting, but likely not for long... foundation.app/collection/scu…
