It's always been mine, for as long as I can remember. To lucid dream while awake and interact with the waking world with as much fluency as when in more programmable environments –– dreams, imagination, virtuality, synesthesia, image synthesis... you name it
Why not just say you believe art is blasphemy against the divine laws of your tribe, unless you are required to approve of it first?

You bash #aiart until it’s trending on Elon’s bird. I stay up all night, every night obsessively photobashing ai art. We are not the same…
But could be closer, with better prompts and a bit more art history

Switched to the DPM++ 2M sampler for the first time. Quite a few hits so far. Some collector nostalgia in the mix tonight…

Checkpoint merger testing tonight feels a special kind of way
Models merged: analog + dreamlike + synthwave + inkpunk

The only thing that should be considered blasphemous is the idea of blasphemy itself
2022, like every other year, was cruel to so-called blasphemers. I wrote about how people continue to suffer under blasphemy laws and norms, and how some countries are currently trying to make it even less safe for dissenters.

Think it’s more like the future is flexible ownership, on a seamless spectrum from individual to community to decentralized co-op and everything in between…

It’ll be easier to stop checking this roasted bird app as often, or even at all, once enough of the people I get so much from seeing in my social feeds make their way to @LensProtocol
I respect the move to Mastodon, but can’t do it. User owned at protocol level or bust for me
The vibes have been in such a decline since like a month ago and now the cringe pronoun/Fauci jokes make this feel pretty gross.
I'm not going to stop being here and will keep posting I'm sure but taking the not-insignificant step of uninstalling the app 😅

💯 but I don’t take that to mean webtoons are over. The exact opposite in fact. About to undergo a massive expansion thanks to millions of new authors now able to illustrate and publish better stories
Unfortunately, more than a few people took these as an instruction manual over the past 21 years... instead of a brilliant & hilarious work of art (said in the most dulcet of tones)
EULA for an art event that I wrote in 2001. It begins:
"1. You will not copy, modify, duplicate, print, transmit, download, interpret, redistribute, evaluate, be inspired by, filter, decode, or otherwise reproduce elements of these pages."

Was I remembering a future feature, or is there already a way to find people on @lensprotocol that I follow on the bird app?
I've seen some artists + accounts move to Mastodon, but how many have a Lens profile yet? Maybe I'll search #aiart to start...

Very interested. These are fantastic 🤯
Good night fam. This has been another long and productive day. Tomorrow will be even more fun. Is anyone at all interested in source code for these? It's @huggingface diffusers + my library that does reinterpretation of the latent space.
Art, like love, is not a zero sum game. Yours doesn't get better just because fewer people get to experience it
can ANYONE make a bull case for the internet?
now apply it to everything virtual, latent, and IRL...

Not only is it legal, there's something morally + ethically *virtuous* about how gathering and distributing public data, on public networks, for the sake of greater public innovation helps secure human creativity, prosperity, and personal liberty for all. Open source is beautiful
