Dreaming of a more functional, user-friendly interface than Discord? Well, Midjourney has made it happen, your dream has come true! After more than a year and a half since its launch, Midjourney is finally online. The new alpha web version has been officially available since December 2023, for users who have generated more than 1,000 images on Discord. Midjourney aims for mass adoption of its platform, but this requirement may limit access even further. Today, it is accessible to paying users who have generated more than 100 images on Discord. The conditions may still seem high. No worries! The path to Midjourney alpha web access for all is underway. With this new interface, you no longer need to manually configure settings in a Discord channel. It's now possible to easily generate images as you wish. Although Midjourney had 8.3 million members on its Discord server in 2023, it lagged behind other competitors such as @Dall-E due to its lack of simplicity. Its web presence and enhanced simplicity should help it to reach new users. #AI #generativeai #technology #artificialintelligence #language

Discord is gaining traction for its uptick in AI-related servers, as a prospective growing hub for AI services. A case study conducted on Midjourney, the server for the text-to-image AI launched directly on Discord, and the largest growing server on the platform with upwards of 19 million users, examines the potential for new revenue streams and monetization.

Midjourney's recent updates are making waves, especially with the reveal that the platform is currently working on a web version, moving away from its exclusive reliance on Discord. As of now, users need a Discord account to create and manage their images, but the Alpha version is rolling out for those who've generated a substantial number of images. This could signify a turning point in how we access AI-driven creativity. What does this mean for creators? A more accessible platform could lead to broader participation and innovation in the AI art space. It also opens up potential competition with other platforms—some of which operate without such community constraints. For those who prefer to avoid Discord, there are unofficial options like the MJ Slackbot on the horizon. It raises the question: how will these developments shape the future of digital art creation? What are your thoughts on this shift? Is using Discord a barrier for new users, or do you think it enhances the community experience? https://lnkd.in/gSjTaYXs

Reddit's staking its claim to Reddit-focused searches with an AI-powered conversational search tool. The launch was announced on December 9 and early-access reviews are starting to surface. Presenting users with a summary of other people's posts and comments is a sharp departure from Reddit's focus on community interactions. Do you think this added feature will enhance people's experience on the platform or destory it? #Reddit #Trends #GenerativeAI

Ok, so there are some leaks about Llama3.1-405b. If they are true, benchmarks show this open source model is stronger than GPT4-o. What does it mean? It means most of us will have to rent processing power to be able to u use it BUT it will be 10 times cheaper than gpt4-o and better! If Groq makes it available (and it will) that will be very cheap and very, very fast to run. tl;dr: mega intelligence available for everybody for dirt cheap
