My Brain Hurts, Now Yours Will Too

Today - we’ll be talking about a new technology….PLUS some bonus influencer baiting fun at the bottom!

New Technology:

OpenAI has dropped their new image model.

I think people don’t recognize what a step function difference this model is… perhaps they tried the models a year ago then gave up on them.

Bad choice.

My brain is hurting at the business implications.

It does letters well, does real people, does remixes… I’ve been experimenting with it non-stop.

It’s only for the Pro users ($200/m), but I think it is rolling out more broadly soon.

Absolutely stunning.

The world is about to get a lot more beautiful… silly examples, and the commercial implications are INSANE:

(Its rolling out slowly, here’s how to tell if you have it…4o image gen will still show the circular loading icon for a secong on web, with "Getting starting" text, but then will switch to the blurry image generation (which dalle doesn't have))

I have MANY MANY ways that I think this can be commercialized in very exciting and interesting ways - but if you think I’m going to share those here you are nuts.

(I can see all of our competitors read my newsletters, and usually the only stuff I put in here…. that might be useful to them…is 50% fake.)

Hope you find this new technology as fascinating as I do

Now on to influencer baiting of the day.

Austin seems like a good dude, but he’s fighting a losing battle here… here’s the whole convo.
