Thread about AI art stuff, DallE2 vs MidJourney
So I've been tinkering with Dall-E 2 for a few days now (limited, I get 50 renders a day) and it's very *very* different to MidJourney. Whereas the people behind MidJourney have the goal of making something that's a creative tool for the people using it, OpenAI is more interested in making 'ethical AI that can be used to better humanity'. Both good, both very different.
I was pretty excited about trying DallE-2 but honestly after using it a bit-

If I were an alien race on another planet and I saw earth before they could see us, I would start hiding my emissions (chemical, radio, whatever) ASAP. Even if they turn out to be a race we can work with, there's every advantage to learning more about them through passive sensing and no advantage to giving away our position and patterns to an unknown element.

I program computers, and I can make some solid recommendations about what kind of hardware you'd need for certain applications, but I still feel overwhelmed picking out modern processors among the options available for, like, playing video games. The names don't mean anything to me, so I have to look at specs, but also I don't really know what's good for the probability distribution of modern games I might like. Also, I'm *definitely* overthinking this, like most choices about what things to buy.
battery holds a charge, but only just barely. cuts out after only a few songs. also, this thing doesn't seem to be very serviceable: I tried taking apart the last one I had and got the power button jammed.

Hi folks,
A colleague of mine is running a survey on Sustainability in Software Practices.
If you are a "software practitioner", it would be great if you could complete it.
Thanks, and boosts welcome!

You may have noticed I've been less active here, and that's intentional. Having thousands of followers on multiple social media accounts is exhausting for someone as introverted as me, and for various reasons I've just needed a bit of a break from feeling like I need to maintain my online "persona".
Lots of in-person activities lately have left my social meter expended so I'm trying to refill that in time for JWST data excitement in less than a month!
I heard a bang from my neighbors yard and soon it dawned on me that a sleepless night is in my future
