👀 ICYMI: New stuff we’ve launched
AI images are no longer janky but there’s still a big block when using them for real work: You can’t generate them in full HD or higher resolutions. The solution you ask? Upscale them by following our new tutorial. You can upscale your own images too.
Someone asked us: what exactly is vibe coding? Here’s our answer and a pitch to get you on board—we’re all in. And if you’re already convinced, follow our guide on what coding tool should YOU use and just get started.
We have workshops:
Feb 27th - How AI can be your ultimate business partner
Mar 3rd - Building with AI + Replit
March 12th - Memes & AI
