Show HN: I created a bot to generate image from DALL-E and create NFT

The demo workflow: https://demo.outerbridge.io/canvas/W19SEP22-59ZC69JD https://demo.outerbridge.io/canvas/W19SEP22-59ZC69JD I created Outerbridge as an open source low-code tool focusing on Web3 applications. As one of the DALL-E invited beta user, it was interesting to try out DALL-E + NFT. Note: you will need relevant credentials to execute the workflow, so reach out!

    I think some people experience great suffering because other people have money and won't stop looking for ways to get all of it.

But why The Workflow automation part is sort of cool, I'm a big fan of low/no-code tools for people to pipe data around without needing too much technical expertise. But at the same time this can also become extremely wasteful. Here, it seems like you're automating the process of generating images and registering them as unique so they can be monetized in the event that any of them prove to be popular, which is like doing a tremendous amount of computation to pick random numbers for lottery tickets. I see this a lot with Ethereum and similar smart contracts. There's tremendous automation possibilities, but what is this obsession with turning everything into a tradeable asset?

Example of a NFT generated via DALL-E: https://testnets.opensea.io/assets/goerli/0x4d58e17cb8eb90d0db8c2818f30835e899b57575/0 https://testnets.opensea.io/assets/goerli/0x4d58e17cb8eb90d0...

So images no-one created churned out into saleable art which the buyer doesn't actually own. I seriously think this a seminal moment in the history of art. Congratulations!

Chill out guys - I know its pretty redundant. It was actually a showcase of Outerbridge - the automation tool. This workflow was kinda experimental inspired by this Reid Hoffman - cofounder of LinkedIn where he sold a series of NFTs generated via DALLE - https://twitter.com/reidhoffman/status/1550163437656739840 https://twitter.com/reidhoffman/status/1550163437656739840. Taking NFT aside, you can use Outerbridge for other automation workflows involving Web3 and Web3 applications.
