WEBVTT 00:00.180 --> 00:01.470 -: Sources of inspiration. 00:01.470 --> 00:03.960 Where do I look for, for new prompt techniques 00:03.960 --> 00:05.640 or AI use cases? 00:05.640 --> 00:08.145 What communities and what social media accounts 00:08.145 --> 00:10.230 am I finding useful? 00:10.230 --> 00:13.470 So, let's go through. 00:13.470 --> 00:18.120 I would say the main one to think about is Discord. 00:18.120 --> 00:20.820 Discord is really where everything's happening. 00:20.820 --> 00:23.520 I would say the vast majority of the image generation stuff 00:23.520 --> 00:26.670 that I learned was in Midjourney's Discord. 00:26.670 --> 00:29.130 I think it's probably the most amazing one 00:29.130 --> 00:32.610 in terms of the fact that like everyone 00:32.610 --> 00:34.970 who generates any image from Midjourney, 00:34.970 --> 00:36.780 it all goes through these different channels. 00:36.780 --> 00:37.830 So you can just dive in 00:37.830 --> 00:40.207 and see some really amazing, creative stuff. 00:40.207 --> 00:43.650 And I think it's actually 15 million members now 00:43.650 --> 00:48.240 as of end of May 2023. 00:48.240 --> 00:51.840 OpenAI has a really good, Discord as well. 00:51.840 --> 00:53.910 Stable Foundation, Hugging Face, I think, 00:53.910 --> 00:55.890 is particularly good if you're exploring 00:55.890 --> 00:58.620 open source models and you need some help actually. 00:58.620 --> 01:00.960 They're a really helpful community. 01:00.960 --> 01:04.350 And then we have a community for Vexpower, 01:04.350 --> 01:06.990 which is the course platform 01:06.990 --> 01:09.840 and we have a lot of prompt engineering courses in there. 01:09.840 --> 01:14.160 So, you can always find some other people to talk to there. 01:14.160 --> 01:14.993 Reddit. 01:14.993 --> 01:18.060 Reddit is something that I don't browse religiously. 01:18.060 --> 01:20.160 I know that some people do. 01:20.160 --> 01:22.530 These are the ones that I found most useful. 01:22.530 --> 01:25.290 I think it's actually better for AI art 01:25.290 --> 01:27.870 than it is for text generation, 01:27.870 --> 01:31.080 but I'll leave you to be the judge. 01:31.080 --> 01:34.233 I found the dalle2 group was pretty good. 01:35.250 --> 01:39.150 aiArt, StableDiffusion, Midjourney, all pretty decent. 01:39.150 --> 01:40.980 I don't spend a lot of time in Reddit, though, 01:40.980 --> 01:42.870 but I think this is probably where a lot 01:42.870 --> 01:46.650 of the really good stuff originates. 01:46.650 --> 01:47.670 For me, it's Twitter. 01:47.670 --> 01:50.910 Like, Twitter is my addiction, 01:50.910 --> 01:52.140 so I'm always on Twitter 01:52.140 --> 01:55.800 and I would say my feed is like pretty well curated now. 01:55.800 --> 01:58.350 And there's a lot of really good 01:58.350 --> 02:00.210 AI people to follow on Twitter. 02:00.210 --> 02:02.640 So, yeah, follow me, feel free to. 02:02.640 --> 02:07.640 I try and curate some of this stuff at hammer_mt. 02:07.860 --> 02:11.070 Then there's a bunch of different people in here. 02:11.070 --> 02:12.503 I'll call out a few of them. 02:12.503 --> 02:16.316 DataChaz, he curates really good content. 02:16.316 --> 02:17.340 Robert Scoble. 02:17.340 --> 02:20.824 Scobleizer, he follows the most people, I think, in AI 02:20.824 --> 02:24.240 and just curates all the best stuff. 02:24.240 --> 02:26.910 Riley Goodside, I think, was the first ever prompt engineer, 02:26.910 --> 02:29.430 at least the first person I saw that job title. 02:29.430 --> 02:32.070 And then you have like Ethan Mollick, 02:32.070 --> 02:34.200 Mollick who publishes a lot 02:34.200 --> 02:38.340 of scientific papers on AI and uses a lot in education. 02:38.340 --> 02:39.690 You have Dan Shipper 02:39.690 --> 02:43.140 who created an AI chatbot course that I just took. 02:43.140 --> 02:46.770 Its really useful, you know, good way to frame it. 02:46.770 --> 02:48.273 There's the CEO of OpenAI. 02:49.230 --> 02:52.660 There's a few other people like, you know, Linus Ekenstam, 02:52.660 --> 02:55.413 there's OfficialLoganK, works at OpenAI. 02:57.030 --> 03:00.060 Levelsio, I really like him and Danny Postmaa 03:00.060 --> 03:02.370 because they're actually building AI businesses, 03:02.370 --> 03:05.422 so they build like profile picture to AI. 03:05.422 --> 03:07.890 You know, head shots to AI, you know, a few 03:07.890 --> 03:12.030 of these image generation startups, like they're, 03:12.030 --> 03:13.890 they're just single person companies. 03:13.890 --> 03:16.200 They actually have multiple of these startups 03:16.200 --> 03:19.530 and they're really cool to see how they build in public. 03:19.530 --> 03:21.750 Andrej Karpathy, I think is, you know, one 03:21.750 --> 03:23.220 of the most legit people in AI. 03:23.220 --> 03:26.250 He was the former Head of AI at Tesla, 03:26.250 --> 03:31.250 but also he co-founded Open AI as well, initially. 03:31.761 --> 03:33.330 I think he's gone back there now. 03:33.330 --> 03:37.320 Simon Wilson, simonw on Twitter, 03:37.320 --> 03:38.790 he has great technical posts 03:38.790 --> 03:40.560 and I, I learned a lot about 03:40.560 --> 03:43.350 how agents work from one of his posts. 03:43.350 --> 03:47.584 There's also the guy who, you know, I guess 03:47.584 --> 03:52.170 Harrison Chase, he's, I think he's the CEO of langchain, 03:52.170 --> 03:55.950 or at least kind of the main contributor, you know, seems 03:55.950 --> 03:59.398 to be the one in charge, langchain is tooling for, 03:59.398 --> 04:01.200 for prompt engineering 04:01.200 --> 04:04.440 and you know, working with AI's in general, really useful 04:04.440 --> 04:06.150 to get deep into that. 04:06.150 --> 04:08.820 DrJimFan, I think he's really interesting. 04:08.820 --> 04:11.100 He's a AI scientist at Nvidia 04:11.100 --> 04:14.790 and you've seen how Nvidia stock is blowing up, but, 04:14.790 --> 04:17.760 but they are doing some really interesting 04:17.760 --> 04:19.920 stuff, you know, at the minute. 04:19.920 --> 04:23.010 So, so really worth checking out his account. 04:23.010 --> 04:24.750 And then bentossell, I think he has the 04:24.750 --> 04:26.070 best AI newsletter in 04:26.070 --> 04:28.657 Ben's Bytes, so you can follow him 04:28.657 --> 04:32.310 or you can sign up for his newsletter as well. 04:32.310 --> 04:35.790 And those are the ones that really stand out to me. 04:35.790 --> 04:38.460 As you know, browsing back through my Twitter feed, 04:38.460 --> 04:40.320 they're consistently very good. 04:40.320 --> 04:42.660 There's like hundreds more that I follow, 04:42.660 --> 04:46.110 but you know, I can't list all of them here. 04:46.110 --> 04:47.730 I think this is enough for you to get started 04:47.730 --> 04:50.010 and you'll find other people to follow based on 04:50.010 --> 04:52.410 what these guys retweet as well. 04:52.410 --> 04:54.423 So yeah, hopefully that's useful to you.
