1. AI Image Generation Takes Another Giant Leap with Stable Diffusion 3
Another day, another massive leap forward in AI image generation. With Midjourney and OpenAI's DALL-E both getting big upgrades late last year, Stability AI's open-source Stable Diffusion needed to pull off something special to remain relevant. And it looks like it's done just that.
Here's a look at what is now the gold standard for AI image generation.
2. Q&A with Phil Barden this Thursday
Phil is the MD of DECODE Marketing Ltd, and he'll be talking about the science of purchase behaviour (why people buy what they buy and how to influence them). He'll also share a new creative AI tool his company recently invented.
Sign up here to learn from Phil Barden in this live Q&A session on Thursday, 29th of February.
3. Podcast with the marvellous Bonnie Wan
Ever felt stuck in life and unsure what to do or how to fix it?
Good news, we spoke to someone who figured it out, Bonnie Wan, author of the book "The Life Brief" and head of brand strategy at the legendary agency Goodby, Silverstein & Partners. Listen to the podcast here.

COURSE OF THE WEEK 💡
Leonardo Da Vinci once said;
"Nature is the source of all true knowledge. She has her own logic, her own laws, she has no effect without cause nor invention without necessity."
These words are even more relevant now than they were almost 500 years ago, which is why we teamed up with the Biomimicry Institute UK to create a course on adapting nature's genius to our own modern challenges.
No matter what your field of work, Biomimicry can offer you a new perspective and amazing insights for innovation. So pre-register for the course launch today. |

THE TUESDAY TAKEAWAY 💡
One of the main differences between living organisms and man-made structures is that life often finds a way to heal itself. If you break a branch off a tree, it will grow a new one, but if a bridge cracks, it's going to stay cracked...unless it's made from self-repairing concrete, of course!
Yes, self-repairing concrete is a real thing, thanks to some amazing biomimicry work. You can read about it, and how the ancient Romans created it by accident here.
