🧠 Fresh tech of the day - Ideogram

No one loves Midjourney more than I do, but I wish it could nail text and numbers from prompts. The lettering resembles the Alien script or the weird fake Star Wars font from Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland.

Ideogram is an excellent tool that nails text and allows you to do some fantastic stuff with it.

Here are some cool creations from Ideogram:

Prompt: text: "BULL SHIT"; 3D made of cute wool, creative background, painting, 3d render, typography

Prompt: T-shirt design with text that says "Too old for this shit", minimalist old man with beard ray ban glasses and trucker cap, black background, typography, tattoo-type text, ditail, 4k, cinematic, 3d render, photo

💡 Fresh AI and tech news to consume.

🔗 AI Fused With Trade Data May Finally Smooth Clunky Supply Chains

My take: During Covid, my fridge broke. It took months to get a new one because every store in Southern California sold out. If AI can solve this problem for people, I’m into it.

🔗 The Tropical Island With the Hot Domain Name

My take: Anguilla will make $30M in 2023 from selling domain names. That is just so amazing and interesting. This is a must-read story.

🤔 The best uses of Custom Instructions with ChatGPT.

Are you tired of typing the same thing repeatedly with ChatGPT? Custom Instructions solved that.

This was launched over a month ago, and more use cases are popping up daily. My friend Rowan tweeted a thread about the best uses, and it’s incredible. I recommend reading each tweet thread; you’ll learn a lot (for free!)

To access Customer Instructions, follow these steps:

1. Log into ChatGPT

2. Click the three dots to the right of your email in the bottom-left corner of the screen

3. Click Customer Instructions

4. Follow the tweet thread above for ideas!

👋🏻 There is nothing wrong with asking for more information.

The most successful people I know ask the most questions. For some odd reason, people think asking for more information or clarification is a sign of weakness.

It’s the opposite! It means you are listening and want to know more. In any situation, asking for more information will put you in a better position to succeed.

Get comfortable with it!
