Pony Preservation Project - /mlp/con 2022

How to contribute to the Pony Preservation Project:

• Replicate our work - Post in the thread, ask for help, understand how we do the things we do.
• Learn about AI - Read and discuss AI, try it out, make your own AI models.
• Start new things - Do data, play around with new AI models, apply pony AI to new things. Post data dumps & colab notebooks.
• Figure out how to make things better and show us.
• Play with AI models to make content, experiment with pony data, and see what else you can get AI models to do.
• Help others use AI, create tools, explain things. We want the ENTIRE BOARD to be AI-capable. AI is a MULTIPLIER on the amount and kinds of content we can create.
• Make your waifu real. Do the hard stuff, push yourself.
