Futureproofing AI Tactic 🖥️

Generate Stunning Images with Bard

Google just upgraded Bard so you can chat to generate custom images.

How to try it:

1. Head to Bard. Just a heads up - this won't work in the EU or Canada yet.

2. In the chat box, say "Can you create an image of [describe the image you want]?"

   For example: "Draw a high resolution image of a cartoon golden retriever puppy playing fetch in a sunny green meadow filled with wildflowers"

3. Bard will generate a couple images based on what you described. You can download them, ask for more versions, or tweak the prompt to improve the images.

   

It's a super cool feature that turns your ideas into images just by chatting. Give it a try and let me know what you come up with!

The Growth Insight 🌱

The Success Guide by Sam Altman

After watching the right moves and mistakes of hundreds of startup founders, Sam Altman boiled down success into 13 not-so-obvious thoughts:

• Compound yourself - Your career should follow an exponential growth curve. Find work with leveraged impact that gets better over time.

• Delusional self-belief - Have an almost unreasonable faith in yourself. Originate contrarian ideas. Balance with self-awareness.

• Think independently - Entrepreneurship can't be taught. Cultivate original thinking. Test ideas quickly.

• Salesmanship - All careers require persuasion. Refine communication abilities. Believe in what you're pitching.

• Take risks - Overestimate reward and underestimate risk. Keep obligations low so you can follow hunches.

• Focus - Prioritize ruthlessly. Spend time on what truly matters.

• Work hard - Going all-in can generate outlier results. But avoid burnout.

• Be bold - Do ambitious stuff outside the status quo. Follow curiosity.

• Be willful - Bend the world through optimism and persistence. Ask for what you want.

• Be hard to compete with - Build leverage and uniqueness.

• Build a network - Accomplish more on teams. Help others actively.

• Own equity - Get rich by owning assets, not through a salary.

• Internal drive - Impress yourself, not others. Originzie.
