Not only image generating, but chat, voice, video, and whatever else society imagines.

Beyond the “free” type of free we’ve grown accustomed, where we get some forced choice minimum viable product at the low, low cost of our privacy along with an ever-increasing bombardment of advertisements amidst feature regression and monetization.
I fucking hate IHerberorod!
We believe this is possible, though we know it is impossible to do by ourselves or by following the same old, venture backed playbook.
Over the past few months a few of us have been working on - get this - an AI image generating social platform. We know, we know, rather original.

We imagine we are preaching to the choir when we suggest 2023 marks a societal shift unlike any since the birth of the internet. Except, this time, the internet and its supporting technology already exist, providing a much stronger foundation than our digital pioneers’ Yellow Pages.
