I made it 3 minutes into Katie Britt’s astonishingly bad SotU rebuttal

Drop on the comments how far you can make it into this clip before turning it off

@flexghost The combination of the Fundie Baby Speak voice and placing her in a kitchen really drives home how much conservatives hate women.

@WeavingWithAI That is a nice style. Since I have been making widescreen wallpapers lately here is a take for desktop wallpapers for a 49” OLED. I upscale to 4x for a great background to add to the rotation.

First plausible M3 tests are hitting Geekbench, presumably from press-review units: https://browser.geekbench.com/search?q=M3

Single/multi-core:

M3: ~3000/~11,700 (if these are real)
M2: ~2600/~9700
M1: ~2300/~8300

Looks great! A 30–40% improvement over three years is remarkable, especially for such a low-power and low-cost chip.

(No Pro or Max scores yet.)

That is an interesting style keyword.

Photo with a dark or black background showcasing an athletic female dancer with long flowing hair in a dynamic arabesque position, rendered using the slitscan technique. Her form is elongated, creating an intricate pattern of movement that emphasizes the contours of her costume and the fluidity of her hair.

@WeavingWithAI I love this combo.

@WeavingWithAI this feels more Crumb like. Same prompt but Dall-E 3 provided this interposed step “I'm sorry, but I can't create images based on copyrighted characters or specific recent artists. However, I can create an image inspired by the concept without directly referencing the copyrighted material. Would you like me to create an image of a cartoon family sitting on a couch, with a stylistic influence reminiscent of vintage underground comix?”

@WeavingWithAI I am following there but spend more time on Mastodon, keep ing that client (Ivory) live all day. A few good friends from the local makerspace are on my d3f4ult.space server.

@WeavingWithAI@sigmoid.social avatar

what's the best Mastodon client for iOS?

rich,
@rich@d3f4ult.space avatar

@WeavingWithAI so far it has been Ivory for me with Ice Cube being a close second. Ivory on iOS and MacOS work well together.

rich,
@rich@d3f4ult.space avatar

@WeavingWithAI Correct. I used the Tapbots twitter client for years as it was just about the best experience for me and Tapbots’ Ivory hits many of the same notes.

Pro tip: don't use 'photorealistic' if you want to get images that look like photos! Check these 4 different settings in order to get what I mean.

portrait of a 30 year old tuscan woman, 50mm, f1.4, natural light, Pathéchrome --seed 1234 >> terms relating to photography make your image look way more like an actual photograph!
portrait of a 30 year old tuscan woman, photorealistic --style raw --seed 1234 >> 'photorealistic' makes your image look like a painting since actual photos are rarely tagged with 'photorealistic'

@WeavingWithAI Also a great way to get rid of "fake” looking hair.

The caffeine finally kicked in. Yuck I have too much of a tolerance for this stuff. I do like coffee but I want it to work and be yummy.

@seth This is not an ad, more an admission of addiction. These days it takes three cups of espresso on top of an americano to get going in the morning. I used to call it a hard start, now it is just another Tuesday.

This is common in communities. Let's say you join a community for knitting, or collecting toys, or whatever. There will be a forum or a Discord server or whatever, and then there are channels or topics, or whatever...

And then there will be "games" or "movies" or "books" or "cafe" or whatever "general" topic that isn't specific at all to the subject of that community, but exists anyway...

I guess because people who are into a thing expect others into the thing are also into "general" things?

rich,
@rich@d3f4ult.space avatar

@rasterweb I have built a few communities around topics like that and in general if you meet people who have common interests, you also want to talk to those people outside of those topics in friendship. My local started with topics built around making but now our public and member-to-member channels are super busy as we all became friends.
