    Midjourney as a Case Study

    ASSERTION 
    "Midjourney, Inc" is an intereting company to take a look at. I think diffusion models for asset creation have more short term potential than LLMs do. Midjourney might be in a critical phase right now. They do focus on the product and listen to their users. They do micro-polls on their Discord...
