What is real?

Modern Polymaths

As the volume and quality of media content grows exponentially due to Generative AI, our attention becomes increasingly fragmented. Each artifact receives less of our time, and paradoxically, its perceived value diminishes despite much higher quality. Simon's insight on attention scarcity has never been more relevant. Consider Samim's law of AI attention economy: As the collapse of digital artefact values accelerates, Non-digital, non-AI-generated items will skyrocket in value. Nature will be the ultimate luxury.
Still wrapping my head around the fact that I basically have a professional illustrator on demand now. With GPT-4o, just say: "Generate an image in the style of the image i gave you. I want a happy monkey that uses a smart phone".
OGTAPE 2 – a new mostly AI-generated tune created with @michalho as Count Slobo, our 'AI Music Producer' alias. We pushed the AIs where they're NOT supposed to go, packing 10+ tunes into a 4min footwork-infused experimental banger. Most AI music doesn't sound like this

Try this experiment: Upload a photo to GPT-4o and ask it to 'Generate an image very similar to this one, but make the person more attractive.' You can repeat this process multiple times to see how the AI progressively alters the image toward conventional beauty standards.
And by slightly tweaking the prompt, you can adjust ethnicity, body types, makeup, etc.
A key secret of Serendipity Engineering? Knowing when NOT to intervene. The most powerful changes are often the subtlest ones.
If Jesus, Tesla, Hitler or other famous historical figures were alive today, they'd be likely forced to become social media influencers using AI for captions, make daily content, and sell merch. Einstein: 'Hey guys, smash that like button for more relativity hacks!'
A early form of wirehead technology going mainstream soon: An LLM controlling synchronized environmental systems to precisely modulate one's mind-body state. Orchestrating light, sound, scent and haptic feedback in real-time, it applies research-backed protocols for a calibrated sensory journey far beyond manual orchestration. A digital drug.
One of the most fun GPT-4o image prompts yet:
Write an unhinged monologue of your real thoughts in fountain pen blue ink, on it scrawl corrections in marker pen, they are unhinged, there are doodles and weird oddities scrawled, you cut out and stick on lots and lots of photo extracts from magazines to show the point!!! sometimes you write on them too
