    Alright! So I did a thing. I've been joining Spaces alongside where we had tonsss of comments to share about the conversations in the Spaces and desperately wished for a Spaces comments section. Well, here's one! Just mention with the link to the Space

    DALL-E has a feature that almost validates an idea that I hope eventually comes to life. The feature: DALL-E can be told to transform/make art to a particular style, and it goes ahead to generate art in the specified style. Imagine doing that for music

    With respect to music, my vision for AI is to "artistify" songs; to be able to make any song sound like another musician made it.

    Regardless of how delightful and peaceable you are, if you meet someone who tends to be at loggerheads with the people in their life, the person will find ways to be at loggerheads with you too.

    Imagine waking up mid surgery to see your surgeon frantically googling information on which artery he's just cut.

    Don't start with learning. Start with doing....and learn when you get stuck. There, I fixed education.

    It would be helpful if people left these reviews under their listing on . Tourists read those reviews and take them seriously.

    Think of all the apps connecting to Twitter's Filtered Stream API, each app having its own specific rules. WhatsApp doesn't even have a proper API for messaging; the one thing it's known for. MAU isn't a fair metric here.

    Think about retweets, quotes, follows, blocks, likes, deletes, mutes and the way each of those things is considered when a Tweet is shown to each person. Also think of feeding all of those things into Twitter's Account Activity API in real time. And of trends.

    As is his MO, I've been blocked now, so it's back to fraudulent business as usual for Akin. I hope he eventually realises it's unfair to his students that he's copying learning materials but not pasting them properly on his platform.

    I've thought about this a bit, and want to take this time to apologise... to absolutely nobody. I said what I said and I meant well. Bite me. I'm actually grateful to my people who stood by me from day one and to those who were eating up the apologists in my mentions yesterday ❤

    Educative dot io doesn't give out their content for free. As a beginner, and will serve you much better than content that wasn't stolen properly. Then when you can afford Educative, you can pay for it.

    I've realised why Akin's courses look terrible now, and I also realised he's committing a crime: his platform's content was stolen from the website of educative dot io (). Some of it was stolen haphazardly, and that's why it's so jarring. Side by side.

    Being in this country, another reason I do this (in my own very little way) is to let them know they don't have to cheat and cut corners to get paid well. I wish more people would do it too.

    I have a great deal of respect for those who serve - whether in homes, restaurants or places of entertainment. And, I make a point to pay them well.

    💀 I think about this a lot.

    Back in the day you could buy different types of petrol (Premium Unleaded, Super Unleaded) for your car. So you bought one that was optimised for your car engine. These days, not sure anyone knows or cares what sort of petrol we generally use. Lol

    The problem with touch typing is, your muscle memory can get ahead of you and add intended typos. You want to type "current", but because your fingers are so used to doing it, they type "currently"

    When you're naive, you think "it's just Twitter". You have no idea how vindictive the average person can be.

    I went through Akin's "course" that's supposed to teach HTML, CSS and JavaScript to beginners. It is bad. It's likely the worst possible resource that can be given to a code newbie. I hope nobody is depending on his platform to learn.

    This one. This is the one I'd like an explanation for. How were they able to train an AI for something like this?
