Midjourney and similar tools are the answer to the question “What if everyone had Photoshop skills?” Now that the technology has been invented we can’t put the genie back in the bottle and trying to make villains out of startups in the space won’t work.

Midjourney, the year-old firm behind recent fake visuals of Trump and the pope, illustrates the lack of oversight accompanying spectacular strides in AI.

I try and open source as much of my work as possible. I *deeply* believe in growing the pie for everyone. Giving people working code that they can do whatever they want with accelerates progress. This will always be a core part of who I am, and I hope people find it helpful.
