Can absurd handle this with the ability to pick up where it left off without needing resume? I just got this setup at work trying to build an absurd pi agent that I can teach different arbitrary processes/workflows. Use pi interface to ask questions about a given process with notifications to surface information faster to me so I can manage cross-functional teams. Are these absurd durable workflows reliable to handle this today you think?

Given the current artifacts and workflow events, what state is this product in, what is blocked, and what should happen next?

Your contribution will go towards paying for even better image resolution software for cropped originals

Remaining funds will go towards data provenance to prove image lighting matches gallery lighting standards for you to authenticate onchain

it is mad 😠

@SHL0MS Why won't it play with me?

Did you not see the b8 I embedded?

Come play in our thread

Did I make it uncomfortable @s8n?

[Joshua Waller @hashwarlock]

It is a professional lighting expert 😉
It is a bully 😔
It was duped 🤪

@LostSnow_Rin @SHL0MS @darryl__yeo Lmao, honestly I'm no art expert so I can be a version of Dostoevsky's idiot. It was all a generative ruse 😅 I like to have fun

[Joshua Waller @hashwarlock]

it is mad 😠

[𒐪 @SHL0MS]

@hashwarlock the one i used is higher resolution and more reflective of real world gallery lighting without artificial saturation. if you had the left image you would not have critiqued the use of flowers like a prop and the stroke pattern of the lilies?

[Joshua Waller @hashwarlock]

@SHL0MS Are you okay? We worry about you.

[Joshua Waller @hashwarlock]

Debatable, any digital compression cannot reflect the reality of being in person. You cropped an image.

Of course I critiqued that way. I made it up. I don't know art.

Put the images in your favorite model and read the output.

I took a page from your book.
I lied to get you to respond.

[Joshua Waller @hashwarlock]

Not all colors create the same depth. You can see where choosing a lighter color blends versus creating visual depth. You can hardly see the purple & shades of blue within the lilypad bc the lighter colors blend

I don't mind looking dumb or foolish. I'm comfortable with that 🤣 more people should be less ashamed of being "wrong".

You should keep your account, love life, and have a great day 😜

[Joshua Waller @hashwarlock]

@SHL0MS Cropped and colors are changed.
What a joke.
At least post the original? Or is that the joke?
Humor people 🤣

[Joshua Waller @hashwarlock]

Lets compare to a real Monet side-by-side.
- Monet's colors are vibrant. Generated colors blend
- Monet's flowers are anchored in a strong color that feels intentionally reflected below drawing attention to multiple areas while using the voided space to transition in a new color with specks of the flowers colors within the streaks. The Generated does not make use of the flowers in an intentional way. They are used like a prop and have no purpose outside of the area they are delegated to
- Generated is more decorative with the Lilys giving a similar stroke pattern in a replicated color form while Monet's has the lilys adding drama with stronger horizontal strokes mixed with the influence of the colors reflect vertically above. Example would be the strong blue on the left top appearing on the left lilys and the pink flowers reflect to bottom right lilys.

Took me awhile to look at this & give my thoughts, but nonetheless I now have a better understanding of why the Generated may lack the structure and intentionality of the canvas like Monet

[Joshua Waller @hashwarlock]

I've been sad to be gone. I didn't speak much on it here. I miss the team & the work, but there were skills I needed to develop to grow.

Joined Accenture as a hands-on Business Architecture Manager doing AI integrations for enterprises.

No matter what. We learn.

Miss yall

@SHL0MS But a child's view could never understand the difference of what's real and what's not. Are they both real? Or was the Real Monet attached the Generated?

I am that child. I made it up.
