Sculpting a dragon for #DragonTuesday Confident I'll figure out how to make his face in time.

I see Asmongold made people upset again. I would like to add however that if Asmongold didn't exist a lot of the people complaining about him wouldn't have a career.

Abstract #DragonTuesday I guess its the contrarian in me that fights to be so nonconformist to what everyone else is doing.

I finally got around to watching Strange New Worlds season 4. Why is Kurtzman still around ruining Star Trek. Hasn't this goon done enough damage to the universe? This season feels like Starfleet Academy's terrible writers just moved over to this franchise and took a hot diarrhea on it.

kind of abstract prompt with a LOT of image disruption, cross model hacking, custom srefs, negative srefs, and crefs, and IRL input. #midjourney #AIassistedart #Synthart

Politicians shouldn't die of old age. Why do most other jobs force you to retire at 65 but arguably the most crucial jobs in American governance have no age limit? Cap it off at 65-70.

Dragon is so ingrained in human mythoology that it is a prompt that is impossible to fail at creating in AI. There is zero challenge that pushes us to be creative. Perhaps we could apply new restrictions would create a challenge, like you can't use THAT token to make a dragon. #dragontuesday

This is virtually imporssible on that time scale, climate inertia alone would see a continued rise in heat and melkting ice sheets and glaciers for decades even centuries. Electrical output = 20% of global carbon footprint. You'd need to drastically alter the "lifestyle" of human civilization.

Someone asked me to do an art piece of a monk, using AI to try and inspire something not usual. #midjourney I was thinking to do a painting but all these little line ones I might try that out who knows. I can't paint in this fine detail. despite having carte blanch on size. was thinking 100x80cm

Seems like the west is erupting over immigration but I think it's a problem that has history and that the west's approach? to this problem is finally at a boiling point. The public on the internet throwing their ideas out there for the world to hear lacks vision, scope and history.

making real art again feels substantially better than making AI, I still like AI but the fulfillment ratio from prompting has lost its luster after being streamlined to death. The first few years of exploring the space was really amazing. When you could actually mold images slowly with words.

trying to make a mess with AI, I've always wanted to do this with a painting, take that leap to "ruin" it with grazing brush strokes of distortion. But never took the chance cause 1 screw up and it's over. or it's a lot of work undoing what you just did. At least with AI I can fantisize about it.

I'm starting to dislike how high fidelity AI is getting. It's just too clean. a lot of the models are cleaning up their back end architecture of their models and destroying some really unique cross model prompting too. It's a damn shame too.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall during these pitch meetings. "Let's take the least possible masculine trans celebrity and cast them in the most hyper masculine role ever in the history of human literature and move in the opposite direction of historical accuracy and see what happens!"

It's nice finding a term that is a wrench in the gears of thought of AI. Synchropter in midjourney 8.1 is a beautiful term that sows chaos in your ideas.

Then use those results as a means to create an impressionist / blur / out of focus rendering on a concrete thing. I'm always looking for ways to not say a certain parameter that might take away from my idea. I want just the idea there in the prompt. And I want all the rest of the information-->

My thoughts of "AI art" not being art and being hollow. I wonder if AI artists who didn't practice art ever tried to make the things the've generated to appreciate the craft better. The look nice but they aren't special. Just like digital art to me is a cheaper art because there's no risk making it.

I sometimes have unpopular opinions and I don't always use the right language, but I don't go out of my way to hate people. People can change if they are met with the right conditions, their ideas and beliefs can also be altered through constructive debate. If you only insult or block people to

Some of that #dragontuesday malarkey. Do we ever get tired of doing the same things over and over? Like it's a dragon, there's so much cultural influence that it impossible to screw up making one appear from a prompt with it or a derivative of it in there. But if I don't follow, no one sees anyways

Meanwhile we ignore the existence of food replicators. Also the Khionian portal technology, that rivals the technology of the Iconians (coincidental near name?) that makes warp drives obsolete. Dilithium is scarce but let's ignore this glaring work around because it interferes with the plot we wrote

Steam gets accused of having a monopoly because they don't abuse their customers like the rest of the game platforms do on a monthly basis. Steam does not charge me a monthly fee to play online games. WE THE PEOPLE CHOOSE STEAM. Steam did not force us to use their superior and non predatory system.

I am pro AI. Sort of. However humanity is adopting AI too quickly. It's still broken, beta testing if you will, lies a lot, makes a ton of mistakes, there's a wide range of interpretation how to use it. Lazy people will be even lazier --> enslaved by the convenience --> completely lost without it.

Trump will continue to be an ineffective president primarily due to him not knowing how the government works and what is and isn't permissible. I know he's a shit heel but we can be thankful that he's also a mental midget incapable of exercising all of his ideas.

What are the bigest franchise shows to come out in the past decade? Kurtzman Trek Rings of Power Disney Star Wars What do they all do consistently? shitting on the original mythos. What is the cultural output of gen Z & alpha that is distinctly theirs, other than the theft & butchery of culture?
