Here is the finished render that I used for my video thumbnail today. This image is kind of special to me as it not only represents the magic of #Mastodon but it also is the first time that I have been able to marry #stablediffusion and #midjourney in one image. Wooly the Mastodon was rendered in MidJourney and the scene background was rendered in Stable Diffusion using out-painting. #digitalArt #AIArt #ai

Two more from the Midjourney v4 model:

"37-year-old man in a Hawaiian shirt, photograph, 32k"

and

"37-year-old bald man in a Hawaiian shirt, photograph, 32k"

Perhaps not as egregiously off-target as my previous runs at 50, 40, and 72, but they still make my brother look pretty good.

Midjourney v1.4 results for:

"72-year-old man wearing a sweater, photograph, 32k"

"47-year-old Hong Kong woman wearing a t-shirt, photograph, 32k"

"47-year-old Chinese woman wearing a t-shirt, photograph, 32k"

My father and wife both look younger and more attractive than these images, so if flattery is part of the latest model, it's working.

@tardis Yours are much nicer than mine. When I gave #DALLE2 the following prompt:

3D render of Doctor Who's TARDIS in space with a twin star system and purple nebula in the background

... it produced these 🤣

I've shared these on other platforms, and they've been well received.

An #introduction:
I work at the intersection of #VictorianLiterature, especially #poetry and #poetics, with #digitalhumanities. I'm currently #distantreading poetry using #textanalysis, #machinelearning, and #networkanalysis. Always growing my knowledge of #rstats and #dataviz.
At UML, I also teach courses in #literarytheory, #sciencefiction, #bannedbooks, and #LGBTQ writers. Life coach for #academics and adults w/#ADHD.

On the side: movies, reading, yoga, life with dogs, #aiart.

Come with me as I kick off a new series where I faff about with random AI generated art using #StableDiffusion.

For this initial stream, I'm rebuilding some prior AI art I'd made, trying to do it better using inpainting.

Also: BEESUS.

Have fun with it!

1. You’re capable of much more than you think​

You are one of the smartest and most hardworking people on the planet and somewhere along the line with being surrounded by other smart and hardworking people we tend to forget that.

2. Saying no is important

To deliver work that you are proud of you need to be able to identify the most important work and say no to other less important or impactful work.

3. No one gives a sh*t about your research

As depressing as it sounds it’s true. The sad fact is no one cares about your research as much as you do.

4. You will meet some truly awesome people

When you do a PhD and you are surrounded by fellow PhDs. You are in the presence of some of the smartest people on the planet and that is amazing when you think about it.

5. Academia is not for everyone ​

Sad but true. Whether it’s the style of work, the impact, the salary, or the lack of postdoc positions academia isn’t for everyone and it never will be.

Summary: 5 lessons from doing a PhD

1. You’re capable of much more than you think​
2. Saying no is important
3. No one gives a sh*t about your research
4. You will meet some truly awesome people
5. Academia is not for everyone

By way of a test I am trying again to share the scary cake picture…

Darling wife has this habit of waving to me when we meet up, even when we're just a few metres apart and we saw each other 10 minutes ago!

It's silly. It's embarrassing. And I hope she never stops.

When you do a search for Mastodon on Twitter, these are the top results.

The sentiment seems to be, "I don't want to leave Twitter, but I kind of have to, and I don't want to learn about a new thing."

This is an absolute ass beating in Los Angeles County. Check out these numbers.

The guards of Maharajah Ram Singh III in the Royal Palace of Jaipur in India, 1858.

The nice thing about Twitter self immolating is that folks who would otherwise never even look at alternative platforms seem to be kicking the tires and trying to make things work on other sites. Really helps with the chicken/egg issue. If Twitter -> Mastodon works, no reason to think there isn’t hope for Facebook -> Diaspora (or similar). At that point, only thing left to do would be to make friends to connect with. Exciting days ahead!

Unfortunately accurate 😅
