Why are we complaining about this as a corporate greed thing? (I do agree that it's bad that there were no images preserved and that component of the post is justifiable) Obviously…

Yes confirmed, I did not author the DALL-E paper lmao

Look, not to brag but DALL-E's "armchair in the shape of an avocado" was mine ( https://openai.com/index/dall-e/ ). I remember trying to convey the gravity of this capability to my…

I just messaged a few of my friends who I know are devoutly Catholic (and also happen to work in AI): 3 out of 4 are currently reading it this morning for their Memorial Day.

man, this cat is ranking pretty high on the feline grimace scale :( https://meow.camera/#4258783365322591678 wondering how I would contact the hosts

I'm not sure I'm understanding this workflow. Perhaps a small tutorial / walkthrough hosted on YouTube or asciinema might help people understand.
