Longobard

An ill-mannered aesthete with a Nordic lust for beauty, Longo leads raiding expeditions into latent space, claiming what he finds. Hoarder of #Bitcoin.

@vividvoid I’m distressed by the now obligatory need to detail “any exciting plans I have for the rest of my day” every time I buy groceries.

@mathelirium Makes me think about the topography of the p-adic world.

@SoveyX A decadent effect of generational wealth. Intellegence and integrity are created through friction. There’s a lot of grease in the world of the wealthy.

@TheBTCTherapist There is already an agreement in place to allow the US to put military assets on Greenland. The US used this agreement extensively during the height of the Cold War and put defensive assets in dozens of locations. Most of those have since been abandoned. It's not about defense.

[Longobard @yankeehurler]

@Malinowski Yes. It's time to revisit the original War Powers Resolution with 50 years of perspective and introduce real guardrails that restore the US to a system of actionable checks and balances.

@eylemboss0306 A little dangerous, isn't it, freeing that cyanide?

@waitbutwhy A picture on graph paper makes this beautifully clear. The cubes nest together to form squares.

Totally agree on several points. They missed a huge opportunity with community. I spend hours editing arms and fingers. The censorship is maddening. I hate that anybody can access all my images and even tattle on me to the teacher if they see something they don’t like. Imagine a writer having his personal journal available for anyone to see and judge.

I stay for my library of work. I like to reach back and rework images from the past. Some of my crude v2 and v3 images are great source material to push through new references.

Speaking of, I stay for the SREFs. My technique doesn’t involve much text prompting anymore, rather I push images through SREFs, adding texture and complexity and leaving the engine room to free associate and surprise.

In short, I think for quitting all the time and would do so in a second if an engine offered similar creative opportunities and a relaxed censor. Free the nipple!

@chetbff @youseememiami @bri_guy_ai @midisteadygo @Julian_cano_ @lacey_ai My mom loves your art.

@julianhosp @DSBatten The lesson here, which you’ve missed, is to keep your mouth shut about innovations until you’ve taken the time to understand them.

[Longobard @yankeehurler]

@DSBatten We need these guys for fun anecdotes illustrating the blindness that can result from ideological commitments and lack of imagination so future pundits can ignore them.

[Longobard @yankeehurler]

@DSBatten Great work. Thank you for your service.
