So a photographer entered an AI Image into the Sony World Photography Awards 2023 and won!
He then refused the award.

“I applied as a cheeky monkey, to find out, if the comeptitions are prepared for AI images to enter. They are not.”

We are building a new place for photography.
- AI Photography doesn’t exist. There is no such thing as being a “Midjourney Photographer”. There is AI that generates images by scrapping the internet and stealing the work of real photographers without their consent. Generative AI Imagery is not photography.
- This is an example of the account profile page. We maintain aspect ratios here as well.
- I think my brain is overloaded with dopamine!! Thank you for all the support today. It’s been incredible. This is just the beginning!
- We will be opening Private Beta back up for new users in 3-4 weeks. First, we have to add some features and make some performance updates before we onboard another round of people. Stay tuned for more details!
- With Foto, we let you have links in your posts and don't punish you for it. Having monetization tied to ad-based revenue means you have to keep people in your app and punish them if they try to leave. The internet shouldn't work that way.Elon Musk says X is discouraging links in posts axios.com/2023/10/03/mus…
- The goal today and tomorrow is to get everyone onboarded to Foto. From there we will start working on helping people connect on Foto, fixing bugs and adding new features.
- We are at 7500 Apple and 2400 Android Beta Accounts created. This means we have room for 2500 iPhone users and 7600 more Android users before we close access to Public Beta.
- Photography matters. I firmly believe it’s a net positive to humanity, but we often forget how powerful photographs are until a major life event happens. Then we realize they are some of the most valuable things we have in our lives.
- Foto will not crop your images.
