I was ready for this to be a massive fail and I'm so glad to see it otherwise

One more comparison with words.

Prompt: a tattoo of the words "LESS TOIL" across fists

Google ImageFX:

Midjourney:

Google came out big on this one. It gave me four versions of the image and all four of them correctly had one letter per finger, exactly what I was looking for.

MJ on the other hand had four results that struggled to land on what I was aiming for.

Trying again comparing with a nostrich prompt.

Prompt: a purple humanoid ostrich wearing a hoodie and walking in a cyberpunk city

Google ImageFX:

Midjourney:

I like MJ result in this one MUCH more. The city feels much more alive, and the nostrich seems more relaxed and humanoid.

I do subscribe to MJ - right now google's generator is free:

Testing out Google's ImageFX image generator against Midjourney with the same prompt.

Prompt: a hooded figure typing on a laptop in a cyberpunk data center. highly realistic.

Midjourney:

Google ImageFX:

Gotta say that the generator itself for ImageFX is pretty sweet. It latches on to variables in your prompt and gives drop-down menus to swap them out if you want to refine your result.

They're both great images but MJ's is a bit more stylized and detailed. But I do like the depth effects in ImageFX's output.

What a cool time we're living in to play with stuff like this.

Evening didn't go great

Didn't touch any music

Getting this morning started off on the bike

Hope you have a great Friday everyone

I had luck with iVPN unless that's changed

Im pushing two with a Mac laptop - will check this out. Good looking out

Gonna work on some music tonight.

Codifying this in a nostr note so I can hold myself accountable.

Keep your passions alive, even if it's in the smallest way.

I would tack on law. And agreed overall - I'm sure I'll be struggling with this when my kids are graduating from high school.

gm nostr

Studying every morning - maybe it's time to schedule my test to add a little pressure.

Hope you all have an awesome Thursday

Oh I like that. Sorry I don't have a good alternative to recommend

Would ntfy serve?

Still unfollowing npubs that offer sats for shares, and unfollowing npubs that boost them.

Is RCS working?

Oh boy parallel ports 🤣
