How Twitter knew that I was at just the right point in the cycle to review my space launch provider needs I’ll never know, but it seems like a smart move. Timely and well targeted advertising will never go out of fashion. – at Kensington, London

👋 It's been forever :) I'm finally back to building and it feels awesome. I'm catching up with the language models trend a bit late but, yesterday I built my first small @dust4ai app to generate coloring drawings for my kids with their favorite characters. How does it work?
