do not look away grok imagine

Tic Tac UAP/UFO are gonna make a come back, aren’t they?

@rand_longevity They deleted their post?

do you think we have AGI?

So the news highlights in the Grok app just… vanished?

@karatademada They still think that ratio makes them look cool.

Genuine question: Why do so many people unfollow as soon as you follow them back?

@Kyrannio Remember when AI couldn’t mesh two different art styles together?

"...But why male models?" Yes, I did spend all weekend making Zoolander chibi a slight reality, so glad you all asked 😆 Grok Imagine is amazing. Fully Imagine here for the images and video.

@RileyRalmuto It's a tough thing to get past for sure, and I appreciate you for saying it.

@bind_lux ((also i meant ot say i completely relate, and thats why i even said what i said. bc i felt exactly the same way you described)

I’ve been thinking about something a lot lately - and it might come across as cringe: building a platform where thousands of people listen to the words you speak makes you feel connected to the cosmos in a way nothing else ever could, for me. It’s made me feel like I really exist. like I really really exist. and as if something about that existence matters. like when I think, and then speak, someone hears me. it’s hard to articulate, it it’s so incredibly special. I used to feel very invisible. and I liked that. there’s a special kind of quiet that comes with moving through the world invisibly. sometimes I miss it. but there’s truly something to be said for being connected to a real community of real humans that really recognize you, listen to you, share their ideas with you, and commune with you. and I love it so much. I take it for granted every day. but I truly am more thankful for it than I am of most other things in my life. because I wouldn’t have the life I have without most of your nerds. which, that isn’t to say I have any kind of special life. it’s not. I live in the woods with two dogs and a bunch of computers. but the fact that I have a life at all is enough to celebrate. I love every single one of you. <3

@RileyRalmuto I'll take those two cents. <3

the absolute best thing you can do is just post it. I swear the moment I stopped giving a fuck if I looked cool, or sounded smart, or said things that reflected my intelligence, everything changed. The reality is that authentic thought is authentic because others think it too. which sounds kind of backwards. but the reality, internally attuned thoughts you have are the first ones. not the ones you iterate and reword and whatnot. the original thoughts seem to come from somewhere else. collective consciousness, or whatever you’d like to call it. my point being, 1) just do it. fuck the cringe fear and second guessing and 2) I guarantee you others feel and think the same things as you, and the most you post those things, the kore likely you are to connect with those people. just my two cents <3

Playing around with Draw Things AI on macOS and the default prompt it set for a my new project starts with: "beautiful portrait of a female anthropomorphic lion fursona wearing Jedi robes." They're just asking for us to troll the Anti-AI artists with this one.

@DaveShapi Are you sure it’s not just going about things more efficiently than how you asked for it?

Why does Anthropic make their model deliberately lazy

My AI "WTF" moment that proved to me how insanely valuable these tools are. A while ago, my apartment complex tried to stick me with a nearly $800 bogus move-out charge. An amount most people are too tired to fight during the chaos of moving. The complex retains a huge law firm that represents landlords of large properties too. I used an AI stack (ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, & Claude - each with their own take, so that I didn't miss anything) to research tenant rights, similar relevant public cases the law firm had lost, and RCW codes. I used messaging written by the AI, with minor tweaks for personal cadence, to draft my defense and denial of the charges. I won. They pushed back for a few weeks, but I was relentless, professional, and polite. Eventually, they caved and dropped the bogus charge. I didn't need a lawyer. (Not saying you shouldn't hire a lawyer for a more complicated case, but I knew I had this in the bag for various reasons). And since I already pay for my AI subscriptions, the whole thing "cost" me absolutely nothing but a few hours of my time spread out over those weeks.

@JSVaughn1 @RileyRalmuto I love hearing about the eye-opening moments that are happening, and seeing people branch out to other models too. Each AI has its strong suites.

@bind_lux @RileyRalmuto I think she's learning, like I did last year, that ChatGPT is garbage. Her story is so reminiscent of my own holy shit moment trying to build websites for my students' learning purposes.

slowly but surely, this is going to be the experience and expressed sentiment of virtually every human being with a shred of ambition. and they’ll all start waking up and we’re all going to be watching with popcorn. we’re still so early, chat. somehow.

@rand_longevity @mark_k compare notes?

which supplements do you take?

@BLVCKLIGHTai @mirrorizeai Whyever

@mirrorizeai Whatever whenever

Do you stay in your lane on X or do you just post whatever you want whenever you want?

@mirrorizeai Staying in one lane won’t work anymore. I mean, I don’t have friends and only talk about one thing with them.

I like UFOs. They seem pretty rad.

@RileyRalmuto @alby13 My car is gaining a lovely bright yellow dusting as we speak.

look at how bad the pollen is in Texas right now dude. my car is pure black. last picture is it clean for context. (and bc I always look for excuses to post pictures of Beans 😜)

Was using Grok on web and saw a Cloudflare box pop up verifying I'm human. It vanished super fast. Anyone else experience that?
