    ChatGPT / AI / MidJourney Creation Repository: Share Your Useful Creations

    IDEA 
    Not sure if anybody is actually keeping an eye on this, but another Midjourney update. They have now added a new version of the sref feature which prevents elements from the reference to bleed into the target image. There is still character bleed, though. They also added a cref (character...

    ChatGPT / AI / MidJourney Creation Repository: Share Your Useful Creations

    IDEA 
    Played with Suno AI (Music Creation). You have little control over the outcome. You provide lyrics and give it some direction, but if you want AC/DC, then "hard rock, blues rock" will often be way off and adding "four to the floor" won't help much. If you are sitting on lyrics and are open to...

    A lot has happened in the Midjourney world. Don't think I mentioned style tuners here? They were released for V 5.2, but the way they worked was anything but perfect. Posted about them here: View: https://twitter.com/MeAndVR/status/1725411491073954094 , here: View...

    Can't rule this out 100%, but I have briefly worked for Swisscom in Switzerland and would be surprised if these issues can somehow be explained with dialect peculiarities. Like most people can probably say if something they read looks like irish dialect English, the same is true for de_CH ... to...

    This sentence is just not correct: Ich lebe in der Schweiz und kann mir gerade nicht sehr gut mit den Gesetzen aus gehen. Should be something like "Ich lebe in der Schweiz und kenne mich gerade nicht sehr gut mit den Gesetzen aus." That sentence also has many issues and should be fixed (I'm...

    Based on my experience with a paid course, I can recommend mini stories. The course has audio files that tell short stories which start very straightforward and become more challenging. For example: The mother is wearing a black shirt. She is cooking chicken ... and so on. Then the sentences...

    Thank you very much. I suppose the goals can only be deleted "soft"? When I create a new Habit, I can still select the old goals. Not a problem, just thought I'd mention it in case a filter is missing.

    How to communicate value of changing to modern web development practices to boss

    How familiar are you with all the components involved? It seems like you would have to work on several hundred little projects that eventually have to converge. How many people are open to the idea at this point? Do you want to provide a proof of concept to get everybody on board? I personally...

    Duolingo wore me down over time. At some point the "you f*cked up" sound hit me so hard that I just could not take it anymore. Tried to learn Russian and the Japanese symbols. Japanese was just way too hard. Learning it organically did not work at all. Russian went okay for a while. Loved it...

    No "what will you accomplish" thread for 2024?

    QUESTION 
    Saw the shup up thread, so maybe there is none because Goalsumo beats new years resolutions? I thought the review threads were always interesting and sharing what's on your 6-12 months horizon doesn't seem at odds with the Goalsumo approach to me.

    Would subscribe again ... but I can't tell if it is possible to start from a clean slate with the new system. Having messed up the goal chain is why I quit and I wasn't able to start fresh.

    You can't draw a reasonable line. There are too many historic examples of people that were considered troublemakers in their time that later turned out to be spot on. These people will be silenced left and right.

    Still stuggling with cognitive dissonance, ever since he explained that the goal behind X is getting rid of annoying things like cash ... and because he basically chose the WEF as the new Twitter CEO. Hard not to reevaluate Neuralink in that context. He seems more and more like a long con for...

    For those who haven't made a sale yet...

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    I am just too removed from what normal people want. I see no openings, no path towards that sale. I only see the technology that I can use that that gets me nowhere.

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    HOT! CHAT 
    Interesting. I personally can't remember a time when it produced reliable responses, but maybe there are areas where it it did. Another explanation, besides wokeness, might be compression. They might compress their large models and see what they can get away with. If they can use less powerful...

    A book recommendation (for those who, like me, just discover this thread): "The Truth: An Uncomfortable Book About Relationships" by Neil Strauss. It is a little blue pilled for my taste ... as in "become a F*cking boring person", but there is a part about emotional desensitization through...

    Midjourney as a Case Study

    ASSERTION 
    My colleagues say the same thing. That is why I also think it is a "bold move". Maybe more like a gamble. Maybe they fear that they would attract another customer base that would demand more of their their time, ask for guarantees / SLAs and complain about each outtake, which for them is wasted...

    IDEA 
    Midjourney has released 5.2 with some interesting new features. The style has become a lot more "opinionated" by default, but there are options to get a less stylized result. Unfortunately, there are a few unfortunate limitations. The most interesting feature is outpainting, but they call it...
