An interview with Midjourney founder David Holz

Midjourney, a 10-person research lab that runs an AI image generator through a Discord server, is expanding access so anyone can create their own Discord server with its image generator, according to an interview with founder David Holz. Holz says the company is focused on expanding human imagination rather than deepfakes, and that its community of roughly a million people co-creates images in shared spaces. He says the company has banned words to stop users from generating shock imagery and that the model's default style makes deepfakes hard to produce.
