Week 11 Notes - #buildinpublic 75 days in | At 53% of my Goal. 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 Summary 📝: Week 11 🫡 - Finally! Just one more week to go! 🤩 My main goal for last week was to build a virtual exhibition website using Unreal Engine or Unity! Showcasing AI arts with an immersive website experience is appealing, and if you are an artist, it would be cool to have your collections displayed this way. 🩷 Although this is overkill because I can quickly pay for a spatial account and get this moving, my CHEAP nature took the best of me! 😅 After researching, I discovered that Unity has WebGL, but the quality could be better than Unreal Engine. Unfortunately, UE has discontinued support for HTML5, so I had to learn how to do it manually. It was a challenging experience, but I was motivated by the free blueprint on the UE Marketplace. You think I am cheap; I say I am resourceful! 😂 Well, it was a Huge learning curve, but I figured it out - video below! I will upload this to the domain and work hard to meet the deadlines for the 12th week. 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 The Goal 🔔: ➕Use AI to generate art depicting the Yorubas' culture from the 17th Century to the present in a time series or era-based format. 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 The Strategy 🧠: ➕Understand how GANs and Ultra Realistic AI Arts work. ➕Discover Yoruba artists representing various styles and contributions to Yoruba art, including the Lucumi from Cuba and Brazil. ➕Categorize the time period into four sections, namely pre-19th Century, 19th Century, 20th Century, and 21st Century ➕Once I have a collection of creatives, the next step is to develop a portfolio website to showcase and receive feedback. 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 The plan 🗓: ➕Stage 1 - Research and Discovery: 25% Done ➕Stage 2 - Consume and Activate: 25% Ongoing ➕Stage 3 - Showcase Results - 3% ongoing ➕Stage 4 - Feedback and Share Lessons Learned 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 Next Steps 👀: 🔙 From Last week: ⏳ I am considering a virtual gallery display. I may have to pivot to another option if this does not work out. 🔜 Moving Forward: ⏳ Finish the immersive gallery, ⏳ Prompt out the arts ⏳ Round up the project 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 What I've Learned 🤓: ➕ How to package UE4 project for HTML + ALSV4 on HTML ➕ How to install old versions of UE ➕ Creating a virtual art gallery with no $ cost but TIME and FRUSTRATION cost ________ The Challenges 😢: ➕ The usual: managing ad-hoc commitments, work and family. I apologize, frens, for my Ghost Mode; except for my replies, I have automated my posts :D 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 Total costs So Far 💵: I was advised not to include these parts anymore.

Hi, Frens! TGiF! IMO, metrics and dimensions are like peanut butter and jelly, the dynamic duo of analytics 🤍 Metrics are quantifiable measurements, like clicks, impressions, and conversions, while dimensions provide the context behind the numbers, like demographics, behaviors, and characteristics of your audience. Both are like sunshine and rain to your analytics garden - together, they paint a vivid, in-depth picture of your marketing success. So, get ready to dig deep and grow some killer data flowers with me next week! Here is my cloned AI voice... Nay or Yay - Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you!

Week 5 Notes - #buildinpublic 33 days in | At 30% of my Goal. 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 Summary 📝: I had planned to complete my research and discovery phase by examining Yoruba artwork in the Modern Era from the 20th Century to the present during the fifth week. However, I got sucked into AI and machine learning, much like Alice falling into a rabbit hole! But just like McDonald's says, 'I'm lovin it!' 🌟⭐️ But first, let me recap the non-techy. I explored contemporary manifestations of Yoruba culture through various forms of art that showcased modern-day Yoruba life. This included documenting Adire clothing and modern fashion trends as well as exploring contemporary Yoruba music, entertainment industry influences, and finally, looking at how urbanization has impacted their cultural heritage. On the technical side of things, I am pleased with my progress so far. The prompts I used gave the desired results after a few attempts. I used GPT4 to optimize them before running them through MidJourney and Dalle-3. I even tried experimenting with Seeding, which was quite interesting. Out of curiosity, I played around with image to video using Pika; after mistakes and consultations with Ben @bennash & Jerrod @OnwardsProject (special thanks to both of you), I understood that the more objects within an image, the trickier it became to control morphing effects. This was when my journey truly began down the "rabbit hole!" I tried several prompts to explore wood sculpturing in the culture's style but failed, and I got frustrated. So, went back to the drawing board and discovered I missed a critical step, "understanding how GANs work," which I highlighted in my initial findings. Long story short, I discovered Stable Diffusion, an open-source solution. I was surprised that I can do text-to-image, image-to-video, and text-to-voice by training a model with my own style, on my own HARDWARE, with no limitations, and above all, 100% privacy! 😲 So, I will be suspending all subscriptions except for OpenAI. MJ and Dalle-3 are great tools, but the next step is to mix Synthetic (AI) Data with "real" data into training to get that unique output with a piece of me weaved into it. Moving forward, I will use stable diffusion XL with LoRas trained using my data. If I ever need it, I will use Animatediff for motion, Amazon Poly for voice cloning, and Adobe Express to mix stuffs up whenever needed. For my hardware, I have a set of RTX GPUs I used for mining ETH for a year or less (2x rtx3090 & 2x rtx3070) with an old B365 HD3 2-way crossfire compatible MOBO and a brand new Intel Core i5-9600K Coffee Lake CPU. What is missing are PSU, RAM, and SSD. Potential Hardware Config will look like: GPU: RTX 3090 2x CPU: Intel Core i5-9600K Coffee Lake MOBO: Gigabyte B365 HD3 PSU: EVGA 1300w fully modular plus gold or Plat. RAM: DDR4 min 32gb & max 64gb. I need VRAM SSD: 1tb or 2tb Nviem SSD Case: Airflow Super Tower - eyeing Corsair 4000Ds Cooler: Not yet decided - Water cooling, I guess. Although, folks claim SDXL can't run multiple GPUs. I will try a repo I saw: Multi-threaded GUI manager for mass creation of AI-generated art with support for multiple GPUs. 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 The Goal 🔔: ➕Use AI to generate art depicting the Yorubas' culture from the 17th Century to the present in a time series or era-based format. 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 The Strategy 🧠: ➕Understand how GANs and Ultra Realistic AI Arts work. ➕Discover Yoruba artists representing various styles and contributions to Yoruba art, including the Lucumi from Cuba and Brazil. ➕Categorize the time period into four sections, namely pre-19th Century, 19th Century, 20th Century, and 21st Century ➕Once I have a collection of creatives, the next step is to develop a portfolio website to showcase and receive feedback. 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 The plan 🗓: ➕Stage 1 - Research and Discovery: 25% Done ➕Stage 2 - Consume and Activate: 5% Ongoing ➕Stage 3 - Showcase Results ➕Stage 4 - Feedback and Share Lessons Learned 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 Next Steps 👀: 🔙 From Last week: ⏳ Tried more prompts with MidJ and Dalle-3 prompts ✅ ⏳ Failed with fine-tuning output to my desired level ❌ ⏳ Explored modern-day manifestations of Yoruba Culture ✅ 🔜 Moving Forward: ⏳ Get the missing PC parts and finish building the hardware ⏳ Install all required software and pull all repo files ⏳ Learn how to train LoRa models using Kohya_ss GU (this may take time) ⏳ Collect datasets looking at 30 - 100 assets 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 What I've Learned 🤓: ➕ AI tech is open-source, it's very powerful, and it's here to stay! ➕ Understood AI Workflows using comfyui ➕ You can make 20 - 30-minute AI clips, 🤣 ________ The Challenges 😢: ➕ My prompts, but I think this will be resolved soon. ➕ Balancing my research with other commitments is still tricky, but scheduling my tweets and automating some of my grunt tasks is helping. 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴�� Total costs So Far 💵: I was advised not to include these parts anymore.

Week 4 Notes - #buildinpublic 26 days in. | Currently, I am at 25% of my Goal. 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 Summary 📝: I can't believe it's already week 4. Time really flies! I've been diving headfirst into my research this past week, and let me tell you, it's been such a delight to uncover all the amazing things about Yoruba culture. It fills me with so much pride🔥! Did you know Yoruba traditions, beliefs, and music have impacted the global stage? Especially in the Americas! It's incredible how deeply rooted their spirit is. I discovered some fascinating stuff while learning about syncretic religions like Santería and Candomblé. These practices have incorporated elements from Yoruba gods and rituals—absolutely mind-blowing! And can we talk about vibrant ceremonies filled with dancing, music, and colorful outfits? So lively 😍! Yes, these beautiful festivities are celebrated far beyond the homeland of the Yorubas. During various festivals and carnivals, you'll find their influence shining through from Cuba to Brazil—and even in other Caribbean countries, blending local customs with unique Yoruba traditions for an unforgettable experience 🩷. In addition, I discovered that Yoruba rhythms and instruments, such as the talking drum, have been incorporated into various music genres, including salsa, jazz, and reggae. The diaspora has played a pivotal role in ensuring that Yoruba musical traditions remain alive and continue to evolve. Indeed, these festivals and music genres serve as bridges, fostering cultural exchange and mutual appreciation between the African continent and the diaspora. I must admit that discovering that the spirit of the Yoruba people continues to resonate and influence cultures far from their homeland has made me awestruck! 🌟⭐️ 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 The Goal 🔔: ➕Use AI to generate art depicting the Yorubas' culture from the 17th century to the present in a time series or era-based format. 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 The Strategy 🧠: ➕Understand how GANs and Ultra Realistic AI Arts work. ➕Discover Yoruba artists representing various styles and contributions to Yoruba art, including the Lucumi from Cuba and Brazil. ➕Categorize the time period into four sections, namely pre-19th Century, 19th Century, 20th Century, and 21st Century ➕Once I have a collection of creatives, the next step is to develop a portfolio website to showcase and receive feedback. 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 The Plan 🗓: ➕Stage 1 - Research and Discovery: 25% Done ➕Stage 2 - Consume and Activate ➕Stage 3 - Showcase Results ➕Stage 4 - Feedback and Share Lessons Learned 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 Next Steps 👀: 🔙 From Last week: ⏳Keep trying more prompts and fine-tuning - Done ✅ ⏳Research the Yoruba influence in the Americas and other parts of the world.- Done ✅ 🔜 Moving Forward: ⏳Continue trying more prompts and fine-tuning using upscales ⏳Explore the modern-day manifestations of Yoruba culture. 20th century to date. ⏳Research the possibility of using immersive platforms to host the AI arts instead of regular web pages. 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 What I've Learned 🤓: ➕Santería in Cuba. ➕Candomblé in Brazil. ➕Yoruba's influence in music. ________ The Challenges 😢: ➕My prompts: I am still struggling with the below: 💠Deformity!

🌞 GM, Xverse FAM! Yeah, It's the weekend again 🎉🎊 My typical weekend routine revolves around visits to Playtopia, a quick stop at Costco, trying new food, and ending with a good bedtime story! My son's birthday is in 6 days, and as I got on Amazon, trying to check out a silly yet expensive science experiment kit toy because he keeps bugging me about his science experiments... Boom! It struck me... Dads, are you building or buying relationships with your kids? How do you approach fatherhood and prioritize your time and efforts? We all strive to provide our children the best– education, toys, or a comfortable lifestyle. We work tirelessly to climb Maslow's ladder of success for them and their Mom (yes, she deserves the best too!). But amidst this pursuit of material comfort lies a crucial mistake - neglecting active involvement in their lives. Have you ever wondered why Moms seem more connected with their grown-up kids while we Dads often feel faded into technicalities? The answer is relationships. It's about consistently showing up in little ways, like dressing them up for school or being there during weekends as both cook and storyteller. See, gents, it goes beyond mere possessions; they won't remember each gift given on birthdays but will forever cherish how we make them feel loved and valued. Take a moment now... How did your own father make you feel while growing up? Some of us were raised by alpha male figures who provided everything yet seldom expressed emotions. Reflect upon those days—did you truly have an emotional connection with him? I once wore these shoes driven by societal pressures to earn more money faster, but clarity struck when my wife wasn't feeling good one day... She couldn't read bedtime stories that evening, so she sent our boys to meet "Dad." And then I heard something heart-wrenching, a simple question from my son: "Mom, can Dad READ?" In shock at hearing those words escape his innocent lips! I had an epiphany right then, the realization that somehow they didn't even know such basic things about me! Instantly, I left my home office, transformed into my clownish persona, and led them straight toward storytelling bliss from that day on to date! But how did I reach a point where my kids, who spend much of their lives with me, didn't know this simple truth? Then, I understood the importance of stepping back to audit our lives and relationships. From my experience, let us remember today's lesson: building sincere connections is paramount in fatherhood. Money may buy comfort and provide worldly treasures, but it can never replace love and deep-rooted bonds between fathers and children. So, as we navigate life's challenges on this fine morning, make your mornings count, too! Create consistent routines not driven solely by career aspirations or financial stability but grounded in meaningful interactions with those little wonders entrusted to you, that priceless gift called family! Let us always be present with intentional gestures like reading them bedtime stories infused with adventure, supporting their dreams even when they seem improbable, and embracing vulnerability so they learn bravery amidst the chaos. These seemingly insignificant actions will leave impressions that endure long after we are gone - etched into the memory banks filled only with cherished experiences shared together. Nothing warms the heart more than knowing one day, our grown-up children will fondly reminisce about those moments spent giggling under covers listening to dad's animated tales. These intangible gifts of connection truly shape character, bolster resilience, and lay solid foundations for healthy future relationships for both parties involved, ourselves included. Keep building strong relationships, Gents! Today, tomorrow & always💪❤️ #FathersMatter #AMReflections

But how did I reach a point where my kids, who spend much of their lives with me, didn't know this simple truth?

Then, I understood the importance of stepping back to audit our lives and relationships.

From my experience, let us remember today's lesson: building sincere connections is paramount in fatherhood.

Money may buy comfort and provide worldly treasures, but it can never replace love and deep-rooted bonds between fathers and children.

So, as we navigate life's challenges on this fine morning, make your mornings count, too!

Create consistent routines not driven solely by career aspirations or financial stability but grounded in meaningful interactions with those little wonders entrusted to you, that priceless gift called family!

Let us always be present with intentional gestures like reading them bedtime stories infused with adventure, supporting their dreams even when they seem improbable, and embracing vulnerability so they learn bravery amidst the chaos.

These seemingly insignificant actions will leave impressions that endure long after we are gone - etched into the memory banks filled only with cherished experiences shared together.

Nothing warms the heart more than knowing one day, our grown-up children will fondly reminisce about those moments spent giggling under covers listening to dad's animated tales.

These intangible gifts of connection truly shape character, bolster resilience, and lay solid foundations for healthy future relationships for both parties involved, ourselves included.

Keep building strong relationships, Gents! Today, tomorrow & always💪❤️

#DailyRecap - Are you Ready? Hi, frens; I hope you all had an awesome day! Today was one of those days that really made me stop and think. The core lesson that I learned today is more of a question than an answer: "Are you ready?" As I sit here reflecting on the events, it's clear to me how crucial preparedness is in seizing life-changing opportunities. You see, we never know when destiny will come knocking at our door. It could be tomorrow or even in seconds from now. That incredible moment where we can make a difference and shape not only our own lives but also the lives of others might just be around the corner. But are we truly ready for it? Have we equipped ourselves with knowledge, skills, and determination? Are our hearts open to embrace uncertainty and take risks? While pondering this thought-provoking query today, I realized that readiness isn't achieved overnight—it's a continuous journey. Each day presents us with possibilities; each moment offers chances for growth if only we're willing to seize them. So let me encourage you all—for your sake as well as mine—to stay alert and proactive every single day. Let's constantly prepare ourselves mentally, emotionally, and spiritually - so that when opportunity strikes unexpectedly like lightning bolts out of nowhere—we'll be fully primed to harness its power. Remember, frens, uncertain times may float towards us like waves crashing upon distant shores—yet within those unpredictable moments lies immense potential waiting patiently for someone who dares step up and claim it! Let yesterday remind us about regrets unseized; together, let's learn from past experiences while envisioning future triumphs! Always keep asking yourself - "Am I Ready?" Because being prepared ensures world-altering breakthroughs won't slip through unnoticed amidst busy routines. No matter what phase of life you find yourself in right now – a student still learning or an accomplished professional chasing higher ambitions – remember this key message: constant preparation fuels remarkable achievements that transform ordinary individuals into extraordinary heroes! So, let's embrace the challenge, my frens. Let us be ready to seize those golden opportunities that lie just beyond our reach. The world is waiting for you, me, and everyone else out there who dares to answer this question with a resounding "Yes, I am ready!" On a final note, Let's not forget that tomorrow is a new day, filled with opportunities to uplift each other on this incredible journey called life. So, let's keep cheering each other forward towards greater heights! GN fam 🩷

#DailyRecap - Hey there, pals! 😊 I had a jam-packed but super-productive day today! The highlight was my friend's shoutout, celebrating their small win on their side hustle journey. Moments like these remind me of the incredible feeling of supporting and cheering each other on. They say that iron sharpens iron. So, let's continue lifting each other in any way we can, even if it means just hitting that repost button. Speaking of growth, guess what? I got to dive into some mind-blowing concepts about AI & AI lie detectors at the #GeniusRoom hosted by our very own @yaeunda. These learnings will totally boost my BuildInPublic Project! Seriously, friends, if you haven't been joining us, you're missing out on riveting conversations shaping the future of 2024! Wow, today opened my eyes in so many ways! It reminded me of the importance of always staying open to learning because the rewards are enormous. I thought I knew enough, but boy was I wrong. From now on, every day will be approached with curiosity and eagerness to soak up new knowledge! You know what's thrilling? Life becomes an adventure when we embrace opportunities for personal growth and expansion. Let's be supportive helpers by sharing our wisdom and experiences to lift others up. That's what gives our lives true meaning! And hey, supporting one another doesn't have to involve grand gestures or monumental actions either – sometimes offering advice or lending an ear can create a massive positive impact within our communities. So come on, friends! Let's build stronger bonds by fostering collaboration and communal growth through mutual assistance. Remember: our success stories can inspire others, while their achievements might ignite sparks within us! Oh, and speaking of unrelated things - who's getting excited for the upcoming Pumpkin Fest festivities? 🎃 It's all about embracing that fall spirit! Hehehee GN, frens. Remember: Tomorrow is a new day filled with opportunities to uplift each other on this incredible journey we call life. Let's keep cheering each other forward towards greater heights! 😊

Week #1 Notes 👇 - #buildinpublic 4 days in. | Currently, I am at 1% of my Goal. 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 Summary 📝: Week 1 was quite laid back as it involved more preparation and research. I conducted a Twitter Poll targeting experts in AI arts, and to my delight, I received an overwhelming response from them. Unlike the CT community, the AIC community has been very supportive and nurturing! During my research, I came across a generative model called GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks), which, when trained with style transfer algorithms on historical artwork, cultural references, and data, can generate new artworks that capture the essence of various periods within Yoruba culture. Finally, I got the following courses to understand the depths before I go on a prompting spree. ➕ Midjourney Course Learn From AwardWinning AI Expert ➕ Revolutionize with AI DALLE Midjourney ➕ Midjourney Pro Learn The Most Recent Midjourney V5.2 AI Art Generation 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 The Goal 🔔: ➕ Use AI to generate art depicting the Yorubas' culture from the 17th century to the present in a time series or era-based format. 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 The Strategy 🧠: ➕ Understand how GANs and Ultra Realistic AI Arts work. ➕ Discover Yoruba artists representing various styles and contributions to Yoruba art, including the Lucumi. ➕ Categorize the time period into four sections, namely pre-19th Century, 19th Century, 20th Century, and 21st Century ➕ Once I have a collection of creatives, the next step is to develop a portfolio website to showcase and receive feedback. 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 The Plan 🗓: ➕ Stage 1 - Research and Discovery ➕ Stage 2 - Consume and Activate ➕ Stage 3 - Showcase Results ➕ Stage 4 - Feedback and Share Lessons Learned 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 Next Steps 👀: ➕ Complete the courses I bought ➕ See if I can get an LLM to train; if not, pivot! ➕ Try some baby prompts on MidJourney ➕ Explore ways to make the art different from the usual ➕ Configure web server for the portfolio website ➕ Configure DNS, Host, and throw a coming-soon landing page 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 What I've Learned 🤓: ➕ Machine learning is fascinating ➕ Making content is tough and takes time but worthwhile; just need to keep practicing and pushing ________ The Challenges 😥: ➕ Juggling work + family and friends + entrepreneurial endeavors ➕ I need more than motivation not to procrastinate; DISCIPLINE 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 Costs So Far 💵: $100 ➕ $60 Udemy Courses - Got deals :D ➕ $25 Domain name Registration - 2 years ➕ $15 VPS Monthly fees from DigitalOcean 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 Revenue So Far 💰: $0 - Non-profit venture 🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴 I plan on reporting my journey every week.
