Inviting a stellar group of speakers to the Munich symposium @caslmu.bsky.social Naomi Miyashita, UN Peacekeeping, Courtney Cooper, WhatsApp Global Director Public Policy, Katharina Goede @hateaid.org Launching "WhatsApp in the World" (New York University Press) & UN commissioned policy report

It can also generate infographics like this. which is accurate, and has great text.

you can ask it to generate follow ups uploading an image of a person and asking it to “now create a POV of this person holding that visual in a poster in front of the Rutgers gate"

(ok, that is supposed to look like me, but i'll let it pass for now because the poster is funny)

I wrote about how GPT 4o can finally generate text and some examples of it. This is the benefit of moving away from diffusion based methods (like Dall E used to).

Example: A funny poster with perfect text.
