@Eight_Pointed It will be a small ensemble of characters. I want to try to do this series with only reference media and not loras.

This is my first attempt at #generative video. This clip uses #openai #astra controlling a #comfyui running Qwen-Image-2.1 for still images and LTX-2.3 for video generation.

The character featured here is a completely fictional character Jill McCormick who will be a news anchor for an ongoing generative project called n14e.

First of a few substacks about what I've been up to this summer. In this case why I wrote a Dependency Injection library and how it helps my agents write better code.

When it comes to observed things collapsing to a state when it could be many… it’s really just us vibrating forward and backward in time measuring different outcomes until we land on the one we expect… which might not necessarily be the one we want. 3/3

[Richard Lee @rl337]

Okay. What if time really is just a dimension that we can move backwards in… if we willed ourselves to move back in time we wouldn’t hold context that we did because our memories are in fact physical things that revert as we travel backwards. 1/3

[Richard Lee @rl337]

Naturally this means that we never remember that we travelled backwards and make exactly the same actions we did before and nothing changes. In the very few times where an outcome that’s different and better we’d experience it as simply luck. 2/3

[Richard Lee @rl337]

@bryan_johnson Yeah this happens to me. The recommendation from my last eye exam was to run warm water and massage the eyelids in the shower.

[Richard Lee @rl337]

I don’t think that this should be a hot take… but if we don’t want a world where humans are completely replaced by robots… maybe we shouldn’t be so excited about making human shaped robots.

[Richard Lee @rl337]

Well… we fucked around. I guess we’re in the find out stage.

[Richard Lee @rl337]

Crap. We live in a simulation and c is just an artifact caused by the compute limitations of the infrastructure running it.

If there ever was a thing called American exceptionalism.

It’s gone now.
This election is really the proof of that. We as a country have decided to step back as a leader of the free world.

It makes me sad but that’s where we are.

[Richard Lee @rl337]

And of course I had to ask it to imagine what an actual picture of that person look like. Apparently to ChatGPT I look a little like Snowden. 4/4

[Richard Lee @rl337]

I think that over time I’ll ask it to do this exercise to see how its picture of me changes over time. 3/4

[Richard Lee @rl337]

Do I need to be a paid member to do chained posts now?

[Richard Lee @rl337]

This seems pretty significant. I can see how this would be super useful but I’m not sure I necessarily like that it’s doing this. I guess time will tell.
