-: Sources of inspiration.
Where do I look for, for new prompt techniques
or AI use cases?
What communities and what social media accounts
am I finding useful?
So, let's go through.
I would say the main one to think about is Discord.
Discord is really where everything's happening.
I would say the vast majority of the image generation stuff
that I learned was in Midjourney's Discord.
I think it's probably the most amazing one
in terms of the fact that like everyone
who generates any image from Midjourney,
it all goes through these different channels.
So you can just dive in
and see some really amazing, creative stuff.
And I think it's actually 15 million members now
as of end of May 2023.
OpenAI has a really good, Discord as well.
Stable Foundation, Hugging Face, I think,
is particularly good if you're exploring
open source models and you need some help actually.
They're a really helpful community.
And then we have a community for Vexpower,
which is the course platform
and we have a lot of prompt engineering courses in there.
So, you can always find some other people to talk to there.
Reddit.
Reddit is something that I don't browse religiously.
I know that some people do.
These are the ones that I found most useful.
I think it's actually better for AI art
than it is for text generation,
but I'll leave you to be the judge.
I found the dalle2 group was pretty good.
aiArt, StableDiffusion, Midjourney, all pretty decent.
I don't spend a lot of time in Reddit, though,
but I think this is probably where a lot
of the really good stuff originates.
For me, it's Twitter.
Like, Twitter is my addiction,
so I'm always on Twitter
and I would say my feed is like pretty well curated now.
And there's a lot of really good
AI people to follow on Twitter.
So, yeah, follow me, feel free to.
I try and curate some of this stuff at hammer_mt.
Then there's a bunch of different people in here.
I'll call out a few of them.
DataChaz, he curates really good content.
Robert Scoble.
Scobleizer, he follows the most people, I think, in AI
and just curates all the best stuff.
Riley Goodside, I think, was the first ever prompt engineer,
at least the first person I saw that job title.
And then you have like Ethan Mollick,
Mollick who publishes a lot
of scientific papers on AI and uses a lot in education.
You have Dan Shipper
who created an AI chatbot course that I just took.
Its really useful, you know, good way to frame it.
There's the CEO of OpenAI.
There's a few other people like, you know, Linus Ekenstam,
there's OfficialLoganK, works at OpenAI.
Levelsio, I really like him and Danny Postmaa
because they're actually building AI businesses,
so they build like profile picture to AI.
You know, head shots to AI, you know, a few
of these image generation startups, like they're,
they're just single person companies.
They actually have multiple of these startups
and they're really cool to see how they build in public.
Andrej Karpathy, I think is, you know, one
of the most legit people in AI.
He was the former Head of AI at Tesla,
but also he co-founded Open AI as well, initially.
I think he's gone back there now.
Simon Wilson, simonw on Twitter,
he has great technical posts
and I, I learned a lot about
how agents work from one of his posts.
There's also the guy who, you know, I guess
Harrison Chase, he's, I think he's the CEO of langchain,
or at least kind of the main contributor, you know, seems
to be the one in charge, langchain is tooling for,
for prompt engineering
and you know, working with AI's in general, really useful
to get deep into that.
DrJimFan, I think he's really interesting.
He's a AI scientist at Nvidia
and you've seen how Nvidia stock is blowing up, but,
but they are doing some really interesting
stuff, you know, at the minute.
So, so really worth checking out his account.
And then bentossell, I think he has the
best AI newsletter in
Ben's Bytes, so you can follow him
or you can sign up for his newsletter as well.
And those are the ones that really stand out to me.
As you know, browsing back through my Twitter feed,
they're consistently very good.
There's like hundreds more that I follow,
but you know, I can't list all of them here.
I think this is enough for you to get started
and you'll find other people to follow based on
what these guys retweet as well.
So yeah, hopefully that's useful to you.
