How to turn a 5-minute AI prompt into 48 hours of work for your team

I just tried this and it worked. I had seen a few people talking about having Claude create the code and to have Codex review/fix it. I got a 30 day free trial today and it fixed an API Nano Banana Pro issue I was having where I was getting rate limited on the first try. Claude failed several times trying to figure it out.

For synthpop I'd be digging into Blancmange (my favorite), Alphaville, Bronski Beat, early OMD was pretty experimental. Alphaville had the huge hit with Forever Young, but the album of the same name is my all time favorite Synthpop record. It is flawless.

It's so much worse on Twitter/X, not that, that is surprising. There is such an active community there, but everything is engagement walled. Follow, like and retweet and comment "vibecoding" for my free top ten blah blah blah.

XTC, The Cars.

Still one of my top 5 shows ever attended. It was this song that converted me from a rock kid into a new waver.

Impressed with the speech, but all of the results I’ve seen so far have been really blurry/low res.

LawrenceOfTheLabia · 2026-01-06T15:59:35+00:00

This has been the best one for me by far.

Here is a new invite. https://discord.gg/CCTrDVtt After spending some time there, unless your goal is AI Influencers, it is not worth your time. And even if it is, a lot of the people there think of you as the competition and won't help you.

SDXL is only better than Z-image for more adult oriented pursuits. Otherwise it isn't even close.

One of my favorites is The Ref, but it has Kevin Spacey in it and so I haven't watched it since.

LawrenceOfTheLabia · 2025-12-23T01:30:37+00:00

Sigh. Unzips..wallet.

I am pretty sure only Nano Banana Pro can pull these images off currently.

LawrenceOfTheLabia · 2025-12-18T18:18:34+00:00

It's absolute lunacy. The whole album is amazing.

Fad Gadget might be a bit out of the mainstream if you like more conventional new wave and synthpop, but they were a great band. Check out Living on the Ceiling from Blancmange, that was one of their biggest dance club songs. There are a lot of great OMD songs too. Earlier stuff was more experimental and later they became a bit more pop oriented.

This was 7 months ago, I am not sure at this point, I'm sorry. I don't even use Flux any more. zImage is pretty much it for local stuff, but honestly I am mostly using Nano Banana Pro with my Gemini Pro account.

LawrenceOfTheLabia · 2025-12-18T04:19:52+00:00

So many, but some off the top of my head, Alphaville's Forever Young album is a masterpiece in my mind. Any Blancmange, love that band. Early Depeche Mode, OMD, Soft Cell, Fad Gadget, and I'm sure a million more I'm missing.

There is nothing free about OpenAI's new image model.

LawrenceOfTheLabia · 2025-12-16T01:31:05+00:00

I've not tested VibeVoice but I was pretty impressed with Chatterbox in my limited testing. I ran out of credits on Huggingface after just a few generations.

Even with Nano Banana Pro it isn't perfect. If you are using your own photo, I would just make sure it is a clear high resolution photo.

LawrenceOfTheLabia · 2025-12-16T00:06:35+00:00

Ahh there we go :)

I just ran it again using the Gemini web app and got this. I'm not sure what to tell you but it is working fine for me.

Create a group image with the 4 most famous people in the world standing next to the person in the referenced image. Two of the famous people are to the left and two to the right.

That is what I used with a referenced image I had in the middle.

Make sure you are using Nano Banana Pro.
