Discover how robotics, #OpenUSD, and #AI are revolutionizing content creation 🦾 @WPP's Perry Nightingale will reveal how these technologies transform the pipeline for global brands and enhance their creativity at #SIGGRAPH2024. nvda.ws/3Lzg09n

We're really excited to expand our partnership with @WPP! They are innovative and forward-looking--exactly what we look for in partners at @NVIDIA.

@LinusEkenstam It surely is! @ligneroset has been making it since 1973 ... called the Togo sofa. Humans 1:0 AI.

Any furniture maker wanna make this? I Call it "The Green Clay Poo Sofa" Surely it's possible to make this?

@LinusEkenstam Come see us here at @WPP in Sea Containers!

In London, what should I do?

@nickfloats So interesting that it gets the bridge wrong. Violin bridges all look the same and are highly visible in contrast to the instruments.

Midjourney v5 is here! (for real this time, lol) Here are some side-by-sides of my prompts, v4 vs v5, as well as some new prompts and crowd shots. I'll add more to this as I experiment. 🧵

@LinusEkenstam Thanks @LinusEkenstam! Super fun prompt hack, especially for collectors and lovers of a menagerie. My best one thus far (small animal bones and skulls photo knolling):

Tutorial: Knolling on Midjourney This is a rabbit hole, you can knoll anything on Midjourney, so please respond to this thread with your best creations. 🧵 A thread

@cantrell @StableDiffusion @Rivian This is a great thread to pull on ... brand- and product-specific generative AI. Get's you beyond ideation and exploration to directly usable commercial content.

Using a @StableDiffusion model fine-tuned on the @Rivian R1T along with InstructPix2Pix to change the truck's color. The colorways aren't perfect, but good enough for some quick concepting.

@harleyf You need to make money

What’s one thing about entrepreneurship that SHOULD be obvious - but isn’t?

On Aaron Swartz: “It’s wonderful when people attempt to do things that’s more than they can sustain. That’s true heroism.”

“Our financial system is really our first rogue AI, optimising for one outcome at the expense of all others”. Never get tired of listening to @timoreilly #wppstream

Just received a prospecting email from @thgplc (aka The Hut Group) for bare metal hosting. Guess they have some free infrastructure ...

Did I just notice this or has MSFT changed Forward to Forwards in Outlook?

Reading @crunchbase company descriptions sometimes makes me question my life choices

Long after the companies are sold and renamed the swag survives! Found this gem in a drawer at my holiday house

Cats in STEM.

It's easy to appear intelligent by being negative about everything

just saying ...
