Thank you for your feedback, and for the explanation!

Your project sounds very interesting! We'll always need people creating original content, as AI still cannot really imagine, but just jumble and recombine, so more power to you!

I need to toil in the fiat mines for a while, but I'll work on your vision when I'll have some spare time. No guarantees though, I'm at the beginning of my

(mid)journey, so I'm not sure I'll manage to fit as much details into the final result, just seeing how hard it was the generate binary stars...)

But I'll give it a try, and this will be a good learning process.

Hi Friend,

I don't mean to burden you; however, if you find the exercise useful I will gladly receive anything further that you are able to coax out of the beast...😆🙏 Thanks again for what you have already done!

You've also now piqued my curiosity...

What are you hoping to do with Midjourny? And what does it take to get involved with it?

I hope your fiat ⛏️ mining is going well today... I'm briefly awake in the middle of my night, and planning on rising again in a couple of hours to watch the adventure of the attempted launch of a Starship to orbit.😁💜

Hey Duncan,

No problem !

I’ve always liked art and had a ton of ideas, but I never had the means to create anything with my own hands, since I suck so bad at drawing, painting, etc…

So I tried midjourney a while ago, but it was crude. But then I saw they updated it to version 5 and decided to do my best to learn how to prompt the machine, and got some “good enough for me” results very quick, so I want to dig deeper.

I strongly believe over the next 10 to 20 years we’ll have a productivity shock that I call the “Automation Revolution”.

AI tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, AutoGPT and so many other LLM, NN and derivatives will render plenty of jobs obsolete.

A single example would be accountants:

In a free market, you could have an AI doing the work of a team of accountants faster, without errors, for a fraction of the price of said accountant team. Thus I envision 90% accountants being replaced by GPTs, and the top 10% left would only be there to “teach, tweak and prompt” the models.

If you think about it, this applies to many, many jobs. And since you’re also a SpaceX lover as I am, you must be aware Tesla is working on Optimus, thus in 20 years we might even have autonomous bots also starting to replace manual labor in several lines of work.

All that to say that sooner or later, I believe all humans will have to be proficient in :

-Coding the machines

-Prompting the machines

-Inventing new things for our world (like writing original stories, which will then be incorporated by the machines)

-Providing human warmth and company to other

It’s a rather cynical view, but that’s what I believe.

So I’m just trying to learn a new skill that might keep me relevant in this new world… while also doing something I like in the process, since I always wished to be able to create nice pictures. 😁

It's clearly not perfect but I tried to fit as many requested themes as possible, but lost some in the process (the planking...), unfortunately.

I had to learn quickly how to create a second sun myself (tried to do different size/color as requested). It was just not possible for midjourney to understand all the context in one picture, even though I tried many techniques to get it to generate a second sun itself (blending, prompting, image weighting...), to no avail.

I guess at the moment that's it's/my limits, and a graphic designer learning to handle tools like MJ should really have superhuman creative skills.

One more thing to add to my learning list. 😅
