    1. @adolphJun 2025· in “A Complete Guide to Meta Prompting”

      One of the original AI-whoah moments was that italian fashion/harry potter mashup [0]. Some time after it came a "making of" video which outlined how they used ChatGPT to prompt Midjourney to create the images [1]. To me, this established using generative systems to create prompts for other generative as an effective pattern for using such systems. 0. this video 1. [LINK]

    3. @HopenHeyHiApr 2023· in “LVMH becomes the first European company to surpass $500B in market value”

      > Isn’t it sad that the first $500b+ company from Europe is a peddler of vanity and overpriced luxury items? French top 4 are: - lvmh $496b - Loreal $256b - Hermes $232b - Dior $172b [LINK] #9 is EssilorLuxottica (sunglasses), and #11 is a clothing brand. If this sort of Fashion ever goes out of style does that whole country go bankrupt? I fear what the unstoppable and inevitable ascendance of Balenciaga might do to the French. this video
