This new FLUX model is not bad!
Hard to prompt to not get a strong bokeh, but possible.
Stepped into the role of a music producer recently—helped my eldest son Alex record his first single.
We worked together on the composition, found a talented arranger in London to fine-tune and master the track, and now it’s out on Spotify and other platforms (we’re also ordering a limited run of 7" vinyl now).
It brought back memories of the good old days when I used to record in Cubase, burn CDs, and print covers on a laser printer 😄
Where there’s passion, anything is possible.
Here's the link to the track:
In late 00's Social Networks were a way to get independence from the TV "zombifier".
You could tell boomers that you're a proud non-owner of a TV and that you get all the latest news and greatest information from YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, while they watch conspiracies about lizard-men trying to control Mars (and Whitehouse too).
But now in 2020's with the arrival of The Algorithm things have changed, and for worse :(
Mainstream Social Networks are no longer "social". The "friendship" aspect is going away, and an "influencer" magic tricks kick in. Some of SC algorithms don't even show you the content of your friends anymore!
The owners realised the potential they hold in their hands and started pushing whatever agenda they need to push, calling it "Relevant", "Interesting", "For You" or whatever fancy words - which all translate to "Here is our agenda FOR YOU to consume". They control the Algorithm, so they control what to show you, and what not.
But this needs to change! And we have the technology to change it. Decentralized and Open Algorithms are the solution - user must be able to choose which algo they want to use, and tweak it for their needs. It needs to be transparent and open. Users might even prompt it like AI to show "less of this" and "more of that" - and it should learn and listen. Verbally. Not by looking at some clickbait for 1 second, and then you get 1000 posts about this in your feed.
I consider User Controllable Algorithms the biggest change that current Social Networks landscape needs.
And with Open Data and Decentralized Protocol this is finally possible!
This is the only way to stop losing kitchen scissors. Trust me - I’ve tried it all…
Orb @orb enabled paid collects and also introduced the approach with on-device wallets which I really like (this is the way to go!) - so let’s test how it works :)
Here’s a smol tree I’ve 3D rendered 12 years ago:
The first public version of Lens Protocol was deployed 666 days ago. That's a hell of anniversary! 😄🤘
Can anyone explain to a boomer wth is #bonsai using a meme? (use only old school memes plz)
Just made a 3D Printed Lens buddy 🙂 (Which can also act like a coding duck, hehe) If you want to print one yourself - the STL is available on Thingiverse: www.thingiverse.com/thing:5827327 (it consists of three parts and doesn't require any extra post-processing or even supports) Enjoy! 🌿
