@AURELIANbuilds It is a full body ultrasound scanner. Can see problems, like cancer tumors. Dressed up as a spa.

@MobofJoggers He overhyped Fable and got Trump to shut it down.

@Scobleizer Karpathy is the key, do you mean he is at anthropic and not Xai?

@Scobleizer Yeah, I would really like more information on MidJourney what they actually released. I mean, I seen the release, but I’m still not too sure what the product is.

@Scobleizer Sometimes consistency matters more than novelty. And in other times, novelty matters more.

@MobofJoggers It isn’t about fable specifically but about both myths and fable getting everyone riled up that it is a dangerous tech. Which is true. But that gave Trump the in to regulate it as a weapon.
