SEEKING CO-FOUNDER | Generative AI | CEO/Engineer | Bay Area/Remote | Pre-seed
Hi everyone, I'm Hani and I'm building Artspark.io, an AI art generator with instant search capability.
I'm a software engineer working in/on startups for 10 years. I'm currently working on taking Artspark to the next level and applying generative AI art to fashion, e-commerce and community.
I'm looking for someone excited about generative AI who is "T-shaped", a generalist who is also expert in some field of engineering/design/marketing.

Good move by Twitter.
Members of congress were almost taken hostage because an obviously lying autocrat wanted to overturn a fair election, and people in this thread are wringing their hands over it.
Free speech is to protect people from autocratic governments, not private enterprises. Private companies can choose how they handle speech as they wish.

I stopped reading after this:
"The time to make money in ICOs was in 2015 and 2016 when they were contrarian. Almost everything else more recently was either a) restricted to insiders, or b) underperformed vs. BTC/ETH. (If you can’t spot the sucker at the table, you’re the sucker.)"
This is easily disproven by using a spreadsheet and comparing CoinMarketCap prices on Jan. 1 2017 to Dec. 31 2017.

Google is providing cheap, stable laptops for education and most people commenting here are painting Google as an evil data-hungry corporation. I get that companies should be subject to scrutiny due to their outsized responsibility and impact, but this is just silly.
In 2013 only 60% of children had internet access at home in the U.S.[0]
It might not seem like a big deal for HN readers, but computer access is still a really, really big deal for kids in the U.S.

My latest working theory for why DMT elicits similar experiences across different users was actually inspired by Google's "Deep Dream" art: https://research.googleblog.com/2015/06/inceptionism-going-d...
"We know that after training, each layer progressively extracts higher and higher-level features of the image... The final few layers assemble those into complete interpretations—these neurons activate in response to very complex things such as entire buildings or trees."
I'm not an expert, but from the little I know of neuroscience, the human brain also has higher level interpreters inside of it. It is why, for example, that pareidolia (seeing faces in objects) is a thing (https://www.reddit.com/r/Pareidolia/).
"So here’s one surprise: neural networks that were trained to discriminate between different kinds of images have quite a bit of the information needed to generate images too"
"One way to visualize what goes on is to turn the network upside down and ask it to enhance an input image in such a way as to elicit a particular interpretation"
So I believe that what DMT is doing is triggering our high level interpreters to make sense of thoughts and emotions that we have. We do the same thing when we dream, where we interpret an event of the day in a very vivid, novel fashion, sometimes even creating story arcs around it.

To me it seemed like this game actually gives a very accurate perspective of context. It reminds me a lot of [if the moon were only 1 pixel](http://joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixelspace_solarsystem.h...). Most of space is just pure nothingness. The fact that there is life at all is a miracle.

Wow, does anyone else see the startup metaphor here?
You're a little guy, running around and grabbing all of the opportunity you can, making sure you don't run head first into the big guys.
Sometimes it's advantageous to shrink yourself. You're more agile and able to navigate between the big guys more deftly.
But in the end, the best strategy is to grow quickly, because as you grow, the amount of surface area and the amount of opportunity you have grows, creating a feedback loop of success.
