💬 Notable Quotes

"But it is clearly incredible marketing to say, we have built a bomb, we're about to drop it on your head, we will sell you a bomb shelter for $100 million. You need to run into access to all your stuff, but only if we pick you as a customer. Wow, gloves are off."
"The codex plus GBT Image 2 pipeline is completely broken. This is the single most disruptive AI workflow I've seen this year. Stop thinking of AI is just a text generator. The real magic happens when you chain the models together."
