RE: Grok-Imagine - AI or Time Machine?
You have to click on the "Imagine" tab once you launch the Grok app. Then just upload the photo(s) from there.

I'm not sure how much of these LLMs you've used lately but, from what I can discern, they're are way beyond toys at this point. Yes, unfortunately, most human jobs will go away. This is what really worries

Oh, moving is a time filled with such melancholy! These places we live in are containers for our memories. I've moved a lot in the past decade and have started a tradition of taking a photo of the empty
