1. Introduction - welcome message from the author
Welcome to the inaugural edition of my new newsletter, "Weekly AI"! I've been thinking about the right format for my newsletter. Should I provide regular updates like the weekly summaries for my project, "The Art of Life: Through the Eyes of AI," or write occasional articles on crypto, NFTs, social media, and other exciting topics? After much thought, I decided to combine both ideas in an organized way, giving birth to "Weekly AI."
Here's what you can expect:
I'll publish "Weekly AI" every Wednesday.
There will be recurring sections, such as a weekly summary of "The Art of Life: Through the Eyes of AI" project, which will now be part of the newsletter.
Each week, I'll highlight an interesting GM (Good Morning) message. I've been enjoying the Twitter trend of daily GM greetings, and I've decided to create mine using AI. More on this in future editions.
I'll share exciting AI-related tweets, articles, blog posts, and videos that focus on AI's impact on our lives, art, and society. In this first issue, check out Doug Thompson's excellent piece, "AI and the Myths of the Metaverse.”
We'll explore AI "prompts," where I'll showcase interesting prompts I've found or developed while working with different AI types.
Over time, I'll expand the newsletter with more sections, and I welcome your feedback and suggestions. As my readers, you have the most significant influence on its content.
Don't worry. I'll still write about crypto and NFTs! You'll find dedicated articles on these topics weekly or bi-weekly. Web3 continues to inspire me daily, and topics that intersect both worlds will likely find their place in this newsletter.
Thank you for joining me on this journey, and enjoy the rest of the newsletter!
2. AI Highlights - What caught my attention in the AI world this week
Exploring the Relationship Between AI and Human Sense-Making: The Emergence of AIMythos
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance and exert a significant impact on our world, we are faced with the challenge of making sense of it all. Drawing parallels with the early Metaverse and the idea of myth-making, this blog post delves into the concept of AIMythos – a new collection of mythologies that will emerge as we attempt to understand and interact with AI.
AIMythos: A Framework for Understanding AI
These mythologies will become powerful cultural drivers, informing various aspects of society and even potentially leading to "theocratic capture." AIMythos serves multiple purposes:
Providing a socio-cultural framework for studying AI's effects
Aiding in developing toolkits for creating new cultural ecosystems
Establishing a nomenclature that accounts for the creative yet unknowable nature of AI
Drawing from pre-modern mythologies and the concept of magic, AIMythos will attempt to explain the unexplainable and engage with these artificial intelligences.
The Era of Wonder and Psychedelic Human Experience
As we collectively strive to make sense of AI's impact on our lives, we will enter an era characterized by ambiguity, emergence, and belief. This new age will be filled with wonder and a psychedelic level of human experience as we navigate the ever-changing landscape created by AI.
In conclusion, the emergence of AIMythos reflects our collective attempts to understand and engage with the powerful and enigmatic force of artificial intelligence. As we enter this new era, we must remain open to the possibilities it brings and be prepared to adapt to the challenges it presents. With a blend of wonder, curiosity, and adaptability, we can embrace the changes AI brings and use them to create a better future for all.
For a deeper exploration of the concept of AIMythos and how AI impacts our sense-making, be sure to read the original, thought-provoking essay.
3. GM of the Week
Today's GM of the Week is a combination of Elon Musk's character and plastic GM letters. The biggest challenge in achieving this effect is forcing the AI, in this case, Midjourney, to generate specific letters. AI has a tendency to treat prompts as inspiration and guidance rather than strict commands. Achieving this effect requires multiple attempts, revisions, and testing different prompt variations. From my experience, very short prompts work best for generating this type of graphic. More on how to generate 'GM' images will be covered in the next issue of Weekly AI.
4. The Art of Life Through AI's Eyes - Week 13 Summary
After the unexpected turn of events during my trip to Egypt, I was more than ready to return home and get back to my daily routine. My week came to a sudden halt, and after arriving home, I dove back into my work at my company, my newsletter, and my Twitter presence.
This week, I decided to focus a bit more on my cryptocurrency investments, especially due to the Arbitrum Airdrop and my strong involvement in the Vele Exchange beta tests. The experience in Egypt reminded me of the importance of staying on top of my investments and exploring new opportunities.
Aside from that, I continued working on my secret project, which has been taking shape behind the scenes. The challenges of the past week only served to solidify my determination to bring this project to fruition. Additionally, the idea of the "Weekly AI" newsletter was finally crystallized, and I couldn't be more excited to share it with my readers.
Despite the hurdles I faced during my vacation, I realized that sometimes, it's the most challenging experiences that help us grow and find inspiration. In the coming weeks, I'll be unveiling my new project and launching the "Weekly AI" newsletter, so stay tuned for more updates on my work and the latest developments in the world of AI.
5. Prompt of the Week.
I'm excited to kick off a new series called "Prompt of the Week," which will be part of my weekly newsletter. Each week, I'll share a fantastic prompt I've found or created to help you generate captivating ideas for your newsletter articles, blog posts, tweets, and other short-form content. These prompts will also be related to generative AI, showcasing the creative potential of this cutting-edge technology.
This week, I want to share an amazing prompt I discovered, created by the @NFT_GOD. It's been an absolute game-changer for my content creation process, and I just had to share it with you!
The beauty of this prompt is that it doesn't aim to generate complete posts or content but rather provides intriguing draft ideas for you to build upon and develop further. By using this prompt, you can easily come up with engaging ideas that inspire you to create compelling content.
Here's the prompt:
Topic: {INSERT TOPIC HERE}
To generate compelling content, focus on these four aspects: 1) Exciting, 2) Thought Provoking, 3) Contrarian, 4) Simple. Use this prompt to brainstorm ten engaging ideas for a newsletter article, blog post, tweet, or any short-form content centered on your chosen topic. The content aims to:
Encourage readers to view the topic from a fresh perspective.
Assist readers in overcoming challenges related to the topic.
Simplify complex aspects of the topic for better comprehension.
Elicit emotional responses from readers.
Explore unique angles on the topic that are often overlooked.
Offer predictions about the topic's future developments.
Foster trust between the content creator and its readers.
Here’s an example of using this prompt:
I've found that using this prompt has significantly improved the quality of my drafts for newsletter articles, blog posts, tweets, and other short-form content. The ideas I generate are more captivating, engaging, and thought-provoking than ever before. Once I have these drafts, I can flesh them out and create polished, compelling content.
I hope you find this week's "Prompt of the Week" as helpful as I have. Stay tuned for next week's prompt, and together, let's explore the fascinating world of generative AI and content creation!
