Unfortunately you can’t do it entirely with MidJourney. Their tools is very “one size fits all.”
We do use MidJourney a lot for individual elements, but everything we do is put together in photoshop, upscale with Magnific, and a lot is manually drawn and then used as ControlNet input in Auto1111.
Using this you can outline a picture, put in individual elements, create a background or setting, composite them together, use that to generate a “first draft” image, then pull a ton of creative detail out of it with something like Magnific. It’s also just stupid fun to play around with it all.
Ai is also great for just general ideation, but using the basic output is always going to just feel weak. The only times I use the standard is when it’s done simply to create stock images for a video, it helps reinforce an explanation or to paint a picture, so it’s less about the art than it is the image itself.
👍🏻 None of this excludes zaps. Similar to saying “only retweets instead of likes,” they are just both options to show support or agreement.
The problem is not everyone has easy access to zapping, and this would necessarily be true for people just arriving to #Nostr and trying it out.
To the contrary, what we want is for everyone to be zapping, and giving them good engagement info for what they expect is exactly how you get them excited to stay and take the time and energy it takes to learn and use the tools for bitcoin and lightning. If their initial experience feels shallow and unrewarding, they won’t do homework to make it better, they will just be disappointed.
IMO, it’s like asking them to climb a ladder and then knocking of the first 5 rings. Zaps are the goal, but there is no safe, one click, instant, no learning necessary way to onboard to zaps, so you have to give them rungs to climb.
Working on it. Just don't have the freezer space yet. Need the basement completed first
It’s amazing how quickly Ai generated images became old and largely uninteresting. You can still produce really cool and fascinating images, but it takes a *Lot* of exploration and prompting to get there, but I’ve always thought the real secret of the tool is in using it to piece together a more complex artwork and composite something with an explicit vision. Not merely typing a prompt and taking the output.
The amount of work the “creator” puts into it will also be reflected in how they treat it. You can still just see the proof of work somehow. 😆🤔
I think youve made way too many assumptions about other things that Jeff believes… that Jeff definitely doesn’t believe.

I don’t know why this makes me laugh so hard 🤣
I think that’s a terrible idea honestly. Acting like social engagement information is some sort of enemy or something to be afraid of is only shooting ourselves in the foot, imo.
I just think that information should be weighed properly based on your social graph and trust metrics. Not thrown out.
It would be the equivalent, imo, to inviting people to a party but where you couldn’t see whether people were listening to anything you were saying, then when people start leaving because there’s no social reward for being there, the party hosts get mad that everyone is too shallow needing social feedback to know people are listening.
Maybe this isn’t the reason and I’m just assuming based on other conversations. But a lot of people worry about things around Nostr, and my big worry has always been that a lot of Nostr people seem to be bitter about the foundations of social protocols themselves. If people don’t realize that follow counts, views, likes, zaps, all of this public show of attention is a fundamental, evolutionary level part of what makes social networks enticing to so many, then we will be stuck forever as a “could have been” underdog.
Don’t mean to harp on this, but it’s been nagging me for a while and think it’s a big issue and I don’t think a lot of people here realize it. Ignoring it hurts #Nostr, imo. We should be *fixing* its problems, not pretending we aren’t social animals.
Climate change is a made up disaster for political control. And millions of people have been made fools for buying into it.
All people like this seem to do is support tyranny and push a human hating ideology. I for one actually like humanity and want to see it prosper 😁
Might be a problem with their analytics because I know there should be a few views on mine because I've watched from multiple IPs and seen someone else watch it live to test something. Still 0 views. nostr:npub1zach44xjpc4yyhx6pgse2cj2pf98838kja03dv2e8ly8lfr094vqvm5dy5
I think social feedback within the #Nostr environment is *deeply* ignored and undervalued. People want to jsut kinda beat their chest about "not caring about views or follows" or whatever, without realizing that they and everyone else uses it as a fundamental, first line filter for content. And it's not like "some people are above this," to the contrary its foolish not too. There is so much crap out there, that regardless of the trade offs of doing so, navigating content without that filter is an absurd proposition. It's very much like reviews - the overwhelming majority of people simply do not even entertain products with a 2 star review. People simply don't have the time to have simple filters taken away from them.
In that context, I get that stuff doesn't update sometimes, pulling that information might be difficult in certain circumstances, etc. But that sort of data NEEDs to be prioritized or you will never keep creators in this ecosystem. They want to know people are seeing their stuff, or they will leave and wonder why they wasted so much time trying.
Also nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 this is something that you should look into adding as well. Would be cool since nostr clients don't have view data and it's hard to aggregate from multiple relays anyway. Inherently complicated to parse that info.
So if people posted to nostr.build and could see how many viewed the file, and exclude the npub of the account itself, that would make a big difference. Also might encourage people to use it since it gives them a central place for the content and to see how their network reach is.

Haven't played around with Flare enough but wanting to pay more attention to it.
If they were serious they would tighten that noose. Come guys, I believe in you!
I mean they already placed themselves there. 😆
Actually, want all podcasts transcribed to text.
Is there a fast way for this now?
Not sure about you, but far prefer ability to read thru, search, speed-read texts vs 3 hour blocks of time with infinite amazing podcasts.
Also, helps alot if have this tech for Wikipedia contributions.
Thanks nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 your post with this fediverse report podcast triggered me to write this 😉 luckily very deep summary:
It’s not perfect but it’s hugely valuable to a lot of things I do, especially searching, getting summaries, pulling links from discussion, etc. also automated and really fast:
The only problem with this is that an open platform like #Nostr makes it even more likely that they will be used to train not only META’s Ai but also hundreds of other models.
Whatever platform they use would need to be closed with no API access or KYC with serious limits as to who can use it and how.
I wish a change this bug wasn’t hitting them at 1,000 Mph, but I think it’s an impossible battle to fight. Best they can do is probably move to an open platform where they can sell directly, and get rewarded by their fans, and maybe only post lower resolution versions or only a portion of their content and leave the rest for buyers or patrons.
In other words, I think the secret isn’t closed platforms & trying to lock down access to everything, but having as many ways as possible for users to easily & quickly reward creators.
It’s an “excellent source” too, so who knows how much of that crap they put in there.
Shit Jeff they figured us out! nostr:note1acg9zvl6874gq4z8eptq39lml7flfv3wwywdqddkuf5j8gehy9wslkm2vs
I do support CTV for that reason. Very well defined, very clear what it can and cannot do, tested at length, and very useful.
I’ve become a Holesail addict. If I can’t just generate a key and connect remotely to my service now, I’m now just looking for a replacement that does let me do this. I don’t even try anymore. It’s either as easy as Holesail, or I’ll find a replacement 🤣
What if the podcast is literally reading Hayek, Rothbard, Sowell and many other authors *to you*?
Huh, what about that?

Appreciate it. Fucking love the book and Lyn’s writing in general. Always been a fan and was honored to get to do it.
Fucking third parties man. Never make the mistake of thinking our data is safe, *least* of all our emails.
Sure, but I think people take it as not caring for their child. It would be like telling a parent that they are purposefully poisoning their child by vaccinating them. It may very well be true, but most people will stop listening as soon as it’s framed that way.
I think it’s important to realize that tons of people, all of us included, in some way will do things incorrectly, or even bad things, specifically because we think it’s the *right* thing to do for those we love. It’s just a an unfortunate reality of being human.
lol, no sorry I was just joking. I have no idea. Just looked horrible 😆

Depends on in what context. Picking your battles and how you fight isn't being defeatist, its understanding how to play the game. Also plenty of people say this publicly for the simple reason that it's good OpSec. However there are "libertarians" who are basically just pretenders and also many who are just career "losers," in the sense that they just believe we are going to be slaves forever and they can only ever see the downside of literally anything. When something good happens, they just put it in the most pathetically negative context they can. they essentially identify as having lost.
Depending on who and in what context I have very different thoughts about what you bring up. I don't think there is a single answer because the issue is neither monolithic, nor are the people and reasons people make those sorts of statements.
Build better tools, fund more development, fund legal defenses, support anon devs, create more private services at smaller scale rather than public businesses, refocus tooling around service provision with as little friction as possible, and about a thousand other things.
The question is less “what can we do” and more “what can’t we do”? We have literally more tools at our disposal than we have ever had in the history of this entire battle. 🤷🏻♂️
Why is everything falling apart?
The wrong "plan?"
The wrong "leaders?"
Not enough "funding?"
It's actually far simpler and more fundamental than most realize...
I’m proud of having figured out how to make the pill disappear from the hand and also remove the hand from the glasses before this was made far easier with Ai.
I had to manually draw the palm with the mirror tool from other parts of the hand and then track it to pinpointed areas of the hand. Whereas I could probably just inpaint with Ai now and map it onto the palm really easily and just track the single spot.
Not as if that’s WAY easier or anything, but still. I’m proud because that was a first for me doing that in Fusion.

This is good advice, but I’m mostly just commenting on how silly and common it is to have to go through 4 other accounts in a series of confirmations and recovery details just to get into 1 service or lost password. It amuses me 😆

I really don’t think you are understanding what I’m trying to explain or I’m not properly conveying it.
Nothing that you have said here contradicts what I’m explaining.
💯 There’s no such thing as safety without freedom.
It would be like trying to get “health” by giving up quality food and exercise.
Or getting a “robust environment” by giving up rain and sunshine.
These things are axiomatically dependent on each other. If you don’t have freedom, then you are entirely dependent on some master for your safety, which is the opposite of security, it means your life is the product of someone else’s decisions.
Security is lost at the exact same degree freedom is lost.
Never lose sight of the fact that THE most important and most valuable aspect of #Bitcoin is its monetary policy.
Everything else is downstream of, or in service of, that element.
We are coming from a world where people never even considered “shopping” for a particular monetary policy, but are quickly barreling into a world where if you AREN’T shopping for a monetary policy, you likely won’t make it.
We should not refer to institutions such as the CIA, as "intelligence" just because of the name. It is not an accurate name for their primary purpose:
They are professional liars. The institution is designed to construct, propagandize, and create broad acceptance of lies that support a particular agenda.
I stay warm by *making* bitcoin 😄
Yeah it would have to be pruned by default, but I bet they would have a full node option. Which aside from the storage cost would still be really cool to have a working reference implementation for a mobile centric full node
Very much so. Maf was working on BitTorrent and basically moved straight into this architecture from there, it just required tons of modular units because it is a full replacement for like 3 or 4 other major protocols of the internet stack.
The massive benefit of the pear model is the ability to distribute a file or application to millions of people with ZERO infrastructure cost.
What’s the biggest issue with relays and making a global network with #Nostr? Monetization. Even right now the costs of having a popular relay are very significant. This means that the network can’t “passively” exist at scale, and it’s a huge centralization pressure because nobody will donate $5,000 per month to keep relays running just to help the network.
In the Holepunch alternative, this cost is essentially nonexistent. Every individual feed will act like a live torrent and you simply download from all of the other followers, and they can selectively store old content as they wish and it’s automatically available from those who do.
The more people who join/follow/chat/etc, the faster and more responsive and less costly all of it becomes. Whereas in the relay model, the bigger it gets the more expensive it is and the worse the experience is without aggressive scaling, which means they need money.
In short, the client/server model is a major reason why the internet centralized around platforms. The Holepunch protocol fixes the client/server barrier.
Everything that’s real food can go bad really fast… but I’ll accept the milk maid option.
That’s just a horrible orientation. If someone’s goal is to force some imagined society onto someone else that isn’t even relevant to them, and they think that this will somehow make them successful and happy, then they simply have a mental illness.
