Congrats @midjourney and @DavidSHolz. It has been a while since a new product introduction has gotten this kind of attention without paying any influencers. Look at X’s feed tonight for me. And why? Well the product will save many lives, yes. But that only explains a small bit why we are all excited tonight. For two it was kept pretty secret. One of the tightest kept secrets I have ever seen. Yeah one guy here on X figured it out. But no one in the audience knew. I asked many before it began. And David told me before he started he didn’t know the venue, which was an art museum, had strict rules regarding using mobile phones. That forced the audience to really pay attention. And not to capture it. Steve Jobs forced the same rules. But everyone knew they were gonna see a new phone when he introduced the iPhone. This caused a massively different vibe. Plus Midjourney had long been a leader in the AI space and his company before that. During his presentation he revealed how much AI that had that I didn’t even know and I was one of the few to cover it in his early days (Leap Motion). When we walked in David was sitting on stage. Several said hi. I did too and we caught up a bit. His accessibility is not to be missed. Every week he does spaces here on X and he answers everyone’s questions for hours. Everywhere I looked I saw VIPs from San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Met so many interesting people tonight including a couple building brain computer interface companies. They were there because of the mystery. His companies have been doing bleeding edge things with technology for decades. He didn’t seem scripted. Just talking about his life in a comfortable, humble way, that just gets you to listen more. Add it all up, and the beautiful videos and reveals, which applies a level of taste and intention that AI will struggle to match for years. One last thing. It is a company that makes humans better. It isn’t looking to force change. It made it so beautiful that you want to change. The spa is brilliant. I have had a full body scan at @prenuvo in an MRI machine. It was like going to an office building. Cold and lifeless with danger signs on the door. This is me getting that scan. The experience couldn’t be more different. The AI industry should study David deeply. There are many lessons to learn from what Midjourney announced tonight that I hope everyone takes to heart.
