I asked @photoshop AI to add a giant, a fairy, a pond and ants to this photo of fynbos. The results are extraordinary. This is my original photo

@flyethiopian my trip baggage was recently delayed for 30 hours on one of your flights. I need a letter from you confirming this delay for my insurance but no one on your team is responding. Who can I contact?

@learnframer @framer 🎊

@learnframer @framer How do I load a fixed overlay that contains a CMS item to load on a page after clicking on a CMS list within a component?

@learnframer @framer Great animation. Scroll!

@tim_cook This ad makes me feel ashamed to buy Apple products.

Meet the new iPad Pro: the thinnest product we’ve ever created, the most advanced display we’ve ever produced, with the incredible power of the M4 chip. Just imagine all the things it’ll be used to create.

@lulumeservey The first version I watched of this ad was a remix where the video was reversed. Items were ‘growing’ from their crushed states into their full, healthy form. It was fun & delightful. Seeing this original version is the exact opposite — dystopian, destructive & depressing. 😞

This Apple ad is what happens when you try to be “edgy” with no consideration for strategy. Consider first principles: 1) Apple is a brand built on giving people a sense of inspiration and joy (eg, the colorful 2000s iPod ads) 2) Their target audience is consumers who are younger and lean progressive 3) Many of these consumers are uneasy about tech companies and fear their jobs/interests being eliminated Strategically, Apple would’ve been wise to make an ad that: 1) Feels bright, hopeful, and uplifting 2) Celebrates human creativity and flourishing 3) Centers people, not a giant machine Instead they created a vision of dystopia. The crushing of instruments is viscerally hard to watch and evokes the destruction of art during the Cultural Revolution. One of Apple’s greatest ads was “1984,” in which color emerged from bleakness and the human spirit vanquished a dictatorial screen. This latest ad reverses all of that and hands victory back to the screen.

YC application deadline is tonight. Come work with me and make something new in the world! Some of the very best YC applications in history were written in <1 hr at the last minute.

@dflieb This is awesome. Congrats, Dave!

YC changed my life in a big way. Honored to get to help carry it forward for all the founders to come.

@snowmaker These sound like wonderful evolutions for YC — most leaning towards more human, in person, relational experiences for the founders & the partners. 👍🏼

Yesterday we wrapped up the W24 batch. We did a lot of things for the first time this batch. Here were the high points for me ...

@yuris Congrats, Yuri!

OKAY. I think it's time to make it official. 📣 Introducing Wayfinder II — a $35M seed-stage fund investing $300k-$1M checks in founders building enduring companies solving tomorrow's hard problems. wayfinder.com

@stoimitch @AngamaSafari @AM_VISI Love it.

Things are steadily coming together at @AngamaSafari Amboseli ahead of a November opening - Part Two of the "Making of" series: the design and creative process youtube.com/watch?v=2XWnLx… feat. @AM_VISI

@flyosity 🤣

Looking directly into the face of the person sitting next to me on the plane because that’s where I put the Twitter app in 3D space

@mark_forrester I’d give up my Lightroom CC subscription to prevent it. Now that’s saying a lot.

@paulgalatis But think of your Lightroom CC edits in Vision Pro Paul…

Goodness gracious. The Apple Vision Pro is the realization of every past, present and future dystopian nightmare rolled into one. Please can we not have the future not unfold like this.

Richmond til I die. ❤️💙

@nedend @JustinStanford @sampaddock @Photoshop "It’s only witchcraft when someone else is doing it." I like that.

@JustinStanford @sampaddock @paulgalatis @Photoshop The ability for anyone to manipulate images will (hopefully) foster critical thought about what we share. It’s only witchcraft when someone else is doing it.

I spent a 5 minutes trying @Photoshop's new Generative AI tools. The results are extraordinary. And scary. And exciting. Don't believe anything you see ever again... 👇🏼

@JustinStanford @sampaddock @Photoshop Indeed.

@sampaddock @paulgalatis @Photoshop The age of digital photos and videos as evidence of anything is over. Major implications!
