It was hard to get good results from the old diffusion models. But when you struck gold it was so compelling! You can't replicate this aesthetic with modern models. I've tried, but they're told coherent.

One of my favorite diffusion gens from the early days of AI art. When everything was abstract surrealism.

Image of a flower in the foreground of a field with a rusty car and abandoned building. Flower murals decorate the concrete structure.

I’m glad aliens don’t have privileged access to *my* self-deceptive reasoning processes, because they would definitely be laughing at them on alien social media

Not to mention technical hurdles! Setting aside the ML models for a moment, chatbot to full agent is also a non linear increase in engineering complexity

Nothing says alpha like leaving your multimillion dollar island compound to fly 8+ hours to have dinner with the guy who said he wants to put you in jail, and then fly straight back.

Happy Saturday, please enjoy this moth. I found them just for you.

An extremely fluffy brownish orangeish moth sits on a white sheet looking directly at the camera with a slight head tilt like its picture day at school

I love combining BigGAN gens with more modern tools. Leonardo AI makes this very easy. Without further ado I present transcendental cat in HD technicolor! Fully remastered! Fully restored!

oldschoool gens with BigGAN+CLIP. This one is "transcendental cat" I'm no expert on transcendental beings or cats. But this looks scientifically accurate to me

"Birch Tree: Unwrapped" This is a bit of accidental art that really delighted me. It's a 3D model of a birch tree, deconstructed so that I could 'bake' the lighting and texture into a single image. The effect is a kind of 'knolling' where the pieces are arrayed just so. Made in #Houdini

I'll always remember how, right from the beginning of the pandemic, all the public announcements emphasised how many of the people killed had pre-existing conditions. As if people with pre-existing conditions weren't full people, weren't just as full of life, just as loved as anyone else.

Hank Green is so ambitious. It's exhausting. My life is like being the co-author of the Federalist Papers. I'm all like, "John Jay got sick after writing five." And Hank's like, "HAMILTON WROTE THE OTHER FIFTY ONE."
