    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...

    This reminds me of "Stefan Raab vs. Regina Halmich" for some reason :innocent: :halo:

    Are selling: nothing. Planning to sell: a digital book called "Drawing Heads - Reference for the 2020ies". Content: Midjourney created reference images, covering expressions, ethnicities, ages, hair etc. Not anime ... the target audience would be people who want to work on more traditional...

    I'll keep going, but for the record ... I am in the situation that I always end up in. From the initial "what can you do to make a sale this week" this is now a project that will take at least 4 more months. And regarding the "how can I help one person today" angle ... I can't find a single...

    While working on the book I've started a Twitter account that I will use to promote it later. Hard to find an angle with tags that people actually search for. Guess few people are looking for #reference and #art. Will try #howtodraw next, but this part of Twitter might be pretty smol. I'm trying...

    My prediction for this year was that people will expect the FED to lower rates because they will be forced to, but that it won't happen, because it is a geopolitical play and they will find excuses to keep the rates high (and maybe even raise them further). I just read an article about how they...

    Did better for a while, but things are getting ... overwhelming again. There is just too much going on. Too many things demanding time and energy. Besides sticking to going to sleep at 10 pm more strictly and saying no to a few things, I think I need to make some painful decisions. There...

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    Didn't have much time to play with web browsing in ChatGPT, but my first impressions were not great. Asked it what the current Spring-Boot version is, and after a search it was unaware of 3.1.0. When I asked about the 2.x-branch it said 2.7.0 ... but there was a 2.7.11 at the time. When I...

    I will contact my advisor and ask if she knows if I am golden (legally speaking). We need to decide what the business is about when founding a company. My company is officially about providing subscriptions for SaaS solutions. Not sure if I can legally sell digital products without making a...

    Everybody makes it sound like I refuse to flick a switch and I keep that I have been convinced by everything at some point and am still trying everything. I maneuvered myself into the position I am in (getting the salary I make now). I do stick to the lessons of the books. I am probably in the...

    Then explain to me how my mindset is wrong (detached from reality) and what awesome advice I refuse to follow. Name an example. Everybody here is telling me to move my mindset away from reality into fairytale land.

    It does not feel like you are pointing in any direction. You are pointing at me and saying what I do is wrong. No pointers.

    I never said I don't want to change my beliefs. I would love to. I also wrote several times that my beliefs have changed many times. I can force myself to take another shot and I have been doing this. I just don't see what adjustment I can make. There is no such thing as something that the old...

    Possible, but this is not actionable advice. It is just one way of saying: other people figure this shit out, you obviously suck.

    My mindset is pretty complex and I don't think anybody here gets how I think and feel. I have been trying to crack the nuts for decades with no success. I still fail to see opportunities and I still don't see how the math can add up with a day job. Makes little sense to discuss this here...

    I did an evaluation for the steps in the software development lifecycle and no matter what I do, the huge leaps from GPT-3.5 to GPT-4 that everybody talks about ... they are completely elusive for me. It looks like the same thing with minimal tweaks from all angles. Hallucinations are worse...

    I went into this year convinced that, if the FED reverses the course of aggressive tightening significantly, it will mean that they know it is game over for China (due to the high interest rates). Now I am not so sure. It might mean that the USA actually has to abandon the economic top spot and...
