@mariuswatz This is cool. The output can then be run through PictureStudio (https://t.co/7WIMAKXUZf) to endlessly iterate on an idea.

@MTA Any word on the color temperature of the new lights?

@MParakhin sidenote: the policy of not representing historical figures is limiting.

[Raul Gutierrez @themexican]

@MParakhin and prompts with multiple ideas like "an etched illustration of Leonardo da Vinci surrounded by items that represent his artistic and scientific achievements in the style of Ernst Haeckel" still produce somewhat nutty results.

@alainastruc I loved your photoblog and always enjoyed the redesigns... it felt like it was evolving.

[Raul Gutierrez @themexican]

@LinusEkenstam I kept waiting for that thing to clip his head off.

@bgalbs @billwscott But that never happened. @bgalbs, if you don't mind I'd love to connect w/ you to hear a little more about his life. I might be able to dig up some things that would be meaningful to his family.

[Raul Gutierrez @themexican]

@bgalbs @billwscott I became friends with @billwscott when he was working at a local Mac store & decided to build a Mac version of Gato (I lent him my xeroxed copy of Inside Macintosh). He was an inspiration. I briefly touched based w/ him a few years ago and had been meaning to properly catch up.

@unity "more than 90% of our customers will not be affected by this change" - translation "We're penalizing our most successful developers."

[Raul Gutierrez @themexican]

@unity We've developed 20 apps with Unity over a decade and I've preached the gospel of Unity, but my companies will not develop new apps with Unity under this system.

[Raul Gutierrez @themexican]

@unity This is a huge tax on developers on top of substantial subscription fees. It arbitrarily rewrites the implicit agreement we've had with @unity over the last decade. New installs—even of products that made significant income in the past— do not automatically mean new revenue.

@cloneofsimo @replicatehq @allnoteson @daannelson @anotherjesse Are we able to take the tuned models and put them into an Automatic1111 pipeline? (had problems w/ previous Replicate tunings)

@friedberg Planet Money did a great podcast on this a few years ago: https://t.co/NEvaumf1f7

I dreamt I could query @googlemaps AI-style: “make me a 32 day backpacking itinerary for Japan featuring small villages with hot springs” or “show me cities in Texas with higher than average dog populations.”

I want this to be real.

This might be a good reason to take a side trip up to Amherst: https://t.co/s9n1F8Y1Yu

@Alex_Bartsch @AndyFelthamArt Ultimately, I see myself as an image maker. I love analog tools. I still shoot on film. I even make my own box cameras! I see AI as another way for people to express themselves. I'm excited to see what artists will imagine as we build new toolboxes.

[Raul Gutierrez @themexican]

@Alex_Bartsch @AndyFelthamArt I think so too, though some people will blur the line.

The funny thing about the questioning of an image made on film w a Nikon FM2 is that I discussed this very phenomenon of AI leading us to doubt reality a few months ago: https://t.co/YZPRSWjkIi
