MAIN COURSE

Use Midjourney without Discord 🖼️ 💬

On Thursday, Midjourney launched a new web editor. It allows you to generate images on a single interface, not just on Discord anymore.

Finally. 🤦‍♂️

What's new?

This new interface combines inpainting, outpainting, and more into a single view. No more juggling Discord and separate tools, it's all in one place now. There's also a new brush tool for precision edits.

Is that it?

They're also mirroring messages between Discord channels and web rooms. The goal is to allow you to stay connected across platforms.

Can I use it?

Any Midjourney user who's created at least 10 images can dive in.

SIDE SALAD

Microsoft is using your data 👺 🫣

On Friday, Microsoft announced plans to use consumer data for AI training. Here’s how you can tell them to back off.

What's the deal?

Microsoft's gonna use your Copilot, Bing, and Microsoft Start interactions to beef up its AI. Even your ad clicks are fair game.

Who's affected?

Regular folks using Microsoft accounts. Businesses and government clients are off the hook.

Can I say no?

Yep. Starting October, you can opt out. Europeans get a breather while Microsoft figures out their privacy laws.

Why should I care?

This is the new AI battleground. Your data's the secret sauce for making AI smarter, but it's also your digital fingerprint.
