C.S. Lewis explains how to create original art

@nikitabier @thogge checkin

@thogge @evanstnlyjones give it back

@nikitabier can you tell the x team to add back my grok button on every tweet. They took it a month ago.

Some news - We're excited to announce that @HotshotSupport has been acquired by @xAI 🚀 Over the past 2 years we've built 3 video foundation models as a small team - Hotshot-XL, Hotshot Act One, and Hotshot. Training these models has given us a look into how global education, entertainment, communication, and productivity are about to change in the coming years. We're excited to continue scaling these efforts on the largest cluster in the world, Colossus, as a part of xAI! A big incredible thank you to all our teammates, investors (@shanaglick, @alexisohanian, @lachygroom, @svangel, @asilverschotz +++), and customers for coming on this journey with us. Most of all - extremely extremely grateful to know and work with @johnmullan87 . John is the best co-founder, engineer, optimist, and friend I’ve ever met and I feel very lucky everyday that I get to work alongside him. An exciting future is on the way. We’re stoked to drive there with @xAI (and work with @chaitualuru again!). We can’t wait to show you what’s coming next 💫

This is without voice mode and many other features coming out in the next few days
