I’m not the person you’re replying to, but I disagree that it’s trivial. If I wanted to, say, send a personalized phishing email to every member of a thousand-person organization, based on whatever information was publicly available on thei

I first saw this mentioned on Twitter, by the artist Karla Ortiz. My question is: would the Glaze effect survive whatever compression Twitter uses on its images on upload? https://mobile.twitter.com/kortizart/status&#x

I think another benefit of using normal maps that no one is mentioning is that you get significantly less aliasing due to mipmapping and interpolation in the fragment shader. You can model all the same detail into the mesh, but it will ofte

I never understood this theory. Mac’s next line after Charlie’s rant confirms that Pepe Silvia is real. “Not only do all of these people exist, but they've been asking for their mail on a daily basis. It's all they're talking

Yes, this is why I stopped leaving comments and reviews. I really can’t have YouTube comments showing up when people Google my name.

Thanks for the suggestions! Unfortunately, logging in with a browser gives me the message “confirm your info using the Instagram App to try to get back to your account”. Meta support assures me my account is in good standing, so I can only

I wish I could delete my Instagram account. A bug with my account means the app stops functioning as soon as I sign into it, no matter whose phone I use or what country I’m in. I signed up for Meta Verified on Facebook, hoping that their pa

Oh, I didn’t realise I wrote “at most”. You’re right, that was incorrect.

If a house costs a million rand, and you have 7 million, then you can buy 7 of them, right? What am I missing?

One could argue that generating portraits with Midjourney is actually harder than taking real photographs, since photographers spend only milliseconds taking their photos whereas prompt engineers sometimes spend hours copying text from Prom

It sounds like you tested the latest version, though, which fanatics also seem to agree is junk. From the article: > The company that made and hosted the chatbot abruptly changed the bots' personalities, so that their responses seem

You may very well be right. I can really only go off what others tell me, and whether attractive women found me attractive in the past (although I suppose there could have been other contributing factors). I hadn’t heard of ratebywaffles. I

I thought I was a fairly attractive guy. I’ve had interest from attractive women in the past. On dating apps though? Crickets. I’ve had several friends vet my profile (who were quite brutal with their feedback, too) but I still only average

Anyone who has spent time with Midjourney knows that it can take hours to fine tune a prompt to get exactly what you’re after. It also says the artist adjusted the result in Photoshop, which means it likely took an additional few hours on t

The point you seem to be arguing is that prompt engineering is comparable in difficulty to picking up a paintbrush and painting a picture. Is that correct? If so, I just don’t think we’re going to find common ground here.

You’re right, it does take more than that. I used an abbreviated version of a prompt to illustrate a point. I suppose I could have written “Garden castle, Many flowers, A few roses, clouds, dramatic clouds above, pink, dreamy ultra wide sho

I think we’re talking about different things. You’re asking if these things are still considered art, even if they required no effort. They very well might be. I’m not concerned with that. I’m more concerned with how in love people are with

People want desperately to experience the act of creation. Previously, you needed to put time into learning a craft in order to feel that feeling. Now, you can sidestep that, and go straight to the pleasure chemical release. It’s a new kind
