An Update from the Practical AI Institute Hello everyone, We wanted to share some important news about the Practical AI Institute. After thoughtful consideration, we’ve decided to bring this chapter to a close and transition to a new space:?Synaptic Commons?on Discord, under Synaptic Labs. Here’s what this means moving forward: If you’ve purchased course content, you’ll retain access to everything as always. Synaptic Commons will become the new hub for events, both free and paid, providing opportunities to continue learning and connecting. This decision wasn’t made lightly, but we’re confident it’s the best way to simplify and refocus on creating meaningful value for the community. We want to thank each of you for being part of this journey—your support has meant so much. We hope you’ll join us in this next chapter and continue to grow with us in the Synaptic Commons. https://lnkd.in/eV_JnnYc Take care, The Synaptic Labs Team

Anyone catch the #CocaCola ad that’s running now during a lot of the football games here in the United States? I had to snag a screen grab. It’s a lot of typical holiday imagery from Coca Cola. Aside from just having that general AI imperfections still present in AI video…you’d think that if the plan is to use AI to replace teams of designers and special effects artists…maybe keep one or two on payroll to you know…get the logo right? #aivideo #aiads #cocacola #aiethics
