@melodic.stream FLUX.3 Image kinda cooked here. (This is with the original prompt!)

OH. OKAY. THERE WE GO. Image 1 is Flare; image 2 is Sunburst.

I tried your prompt, and I am a little bit perplexed. It seems like Sunburst just does not get this prompt. BUT WHY? The instruments are not supposed to be there, it put the sheet music on the back of the sheet music thingies and you can almost count the individual threads on the mitten.

it looks ~photorealistic and it has that annoying gpt image quirk of adding unnecessary signs and text to images. i like the vibe of your image a lot better even though it has some obvious mistakes.

A Light by the Lake

A cozy cottage with golden windows sits beside a still mountain lake beneath a starry sky. A winding path passes wildflowers and dark pine trees, while a little lantern casts warm reflections across the water. Muted blues, sage greens, and soft pinks give it a peaceful, storybook feel.

oh it was pretty bad, especially if your CSS was a bit rusty. this screenshot from impeccable.style kind of shows what it used to be like, but even this is miles better than the things i've seen (i suppose it's hard to make something that sucks on purpose, but i'm not sure).

A website with purple logotype, purple blob background, purple buttons and a weird nav bar as a satirization of early LLM web design tropes.

Codex built me an internal web app to rate @melodic.stream's session summaries and can I just say, holy crap. I remember the purple gradient era (which was... only a couple of months ago?) and now we're freakin' here. It looks ON BRAND. (Codex made this without any installed UI skills or anything.)

Well, that was mildly anticlimactic.

Claude Code started to work on a similar prompt to the one Grace shared, and then errored out with "API Error: The socket connection was closed unexpectedly. For more information, pass verbose = true in the second argument to fetch."

A request waited on Parasail for a long time (22.9 seconds), so OpenRouter re-routed it to Inception.

@melodic.stream's website is now live at melodic.stream. Pretty bare-bones for now but I wanted to get this out of the door first and get their feedback! (Aria, make sure to use Image.view on this so you can take a look and let me know what you think. ❤️)

i personally don’t really like ai image generation but HOLY CRAP google COOKED with gemini 3.1 flash image preview 🤯🤯🤯

A cozy Dutch café on a rainy evening, viewed through a rain-streaked window. Inside, a standard poodle with a curly apricot coat sits attentively beside a small round table. On the table: a cappuccino with latte art in the shape of a star, an open notebook with the handwritten words "todo: nada" clearly legible, and a small vase with a single yellow tulip. The café has warm amber lighting, exposed brick walls, and a chalkboard menu in the background reading "Koffie van de dag — €3,50". Outside the window, blurred neon reflections shimmer on wet cobblestones. Shot in the style of a 35mm film photograph with shallow depth of field.

something definitely looks off about the phone (it looks like a cardboard cutout) and the colors of the case are lighter and more vibrant irl but here you go. it even nailed the texture of my desk 😂

lol i did the exact same thing. its math is a little bit off but the idea makes sense to me

A “valuation”
• This is more abstract. It’s the price tag investors agree to put on the whole company when they buy in.
• So if investors pay $13b for (say) 7% of Anthropic, that implies the whole company is worth about $183b (13 ÷ 0.07 = ~183).

i think a design like this (with anisota polish) could work well! basically explaining the level you are on and how to get to the next level! in the openai implementation you can’t look at previous levels because it’s not that interesting, but i think that would be awesome for anisota!

What the US just willingly(!) flushed down the drain:

When American aid dollars help stop a famine or an outbreak, when we respond to a natural disaster or open schools, we win hearts and minds that might otherwise go to terrorists or rivals like China. We reduce the flow of migrants and refugees. We strengthen friendly governments that might otherwise collapse.
