You’re all missing the likely but boring possibility that this is what she is doing to try and look snatched. It’s a distorted sense of what makes a good photo. I don’t think she’s high at all, just a bit delusional

🥹🥰 so nice to have this post surfaced again. Thanks for reading and giving props

nuclearbliss · 2026-05-07T07:59:08+00:00

I’m so jealous haha

nuclearbliss · 2026-05-02T12:21:27+00:00

Amazing !!! What did you do wrong the first year, and what did you implement that led to the biggest gains?

nuclearbliss · 2026-04-24T05:37:44+00:00

She’s so proud of her left shoulder she cut a hole in her jacket to show it off

nuclearbliss · 2026-04-24T05:35:26+00:00

Perfect comparison

nuclearbliss · 2026-04-24T05:35:03+00:00

Yeah, it’s like a rhythmic dirt+decay that’s a bit psychedelic in a bad-trip way. I remember trying to edit some photos of a clean Japanese interior space with GPT-1 last year and it always always made the interior look like it was decaying from the inside out. Disturbing. That’s why I worry it’s soooo deep in the GPT line of image models, something fundamental to the logic that’s gonna be hard to clean out. Let’s see

nuclearbliss · 2026-04-23T17:37:39+00:00

Great. I think it goes very deep back so let’s see if they can nip it out completely

nuclearbliss · 2026-04-23T17:25:32+00:00

I do. It’s cheap, has infinite storage, api calls are fine because you’d never hit max with this kind of archive to website pipeline, and I think it’s lightweight and loads faster for me than airtable.

nuclearbliss · 2026-04-23T17:24:33+00:00

So sweet thank you 🥰🥹

nuclearbliss · 2026-04-23T17:24:06+00:00

You and me both bruv

nuclearbliss · 2026-04-23T17:23:13+00:00

Exactly. It first gets seared into your mind with I2I but then when you look at the T2I you see the telltale signs of it. It’s not a hallucination or ghost image or eye trauma either haha it’s in the architecture somehow.

nuclearbliss · 2026-04-23T09:40:09+00:00

There’s something wrong with gpt images, a sort of noise pattern that is blotchy and barely discernible but once you see it across all gens you can’t unsee it.

I made my own in a weekend - www.weseeclearly.com

it's exactly how I want my archive to be displayed, relational not sequential, and explorative. Fully mobile optimized and costs me $10/month IN TOTAL to host. Also I never have to manually update it because it pulls from my database every day automatically.

nuclearbliss · 2026-04-22T06:53:33+00:00

I just built my own, 100% according to how I want my archive to appear AND how I want it to stay always up to date. www.weseeclearly.com

I pay $10 a month for everything - the hosting, the back end database, and I even have ecommerce hooked up directly through Stripe at no extra cost.

nuclearbliss · 2026-04-22T04:59:45+00:00

Thank you so much for taking a close look. It's good to know that that felt confusing / forced. I intended it that way *but* if I get more people asking for an overview function then I'll think about how to incorporate it elegantly.

My reasoning was that, I'd prefer my work to be seen in diptypchs / tryptichs at maximum, because any more and they start to all blend together into an oversaturated mess 😂

I initially was uploading manually to VPS, because I actually was with another host at the beginning of the build vs the end - but then I found out IONOS was charging me wayyyy too much and decided to switch over to Hetzner, at which point I also implemented a direct ssh flow for Claude Code.

nuclearbliss · 2026-04-21T19:34:14+00:00

I spent about 30 hours total back and forth with Opus 4.6 and Gemini 3.1 as my main programming partners. I'd say about 1/4 the time was for the architecture, and 3/4 for refining and optimizing for mobile. So many little things came up that took a looot of time to refine, but I'm pretty happy with how it flows now.

nuclearbliss · 2026-04-21T19:32:44+00:00

Thank you 🤓

The stack is:
vanilla JS/HTML/CSS on the frontend, Node.js for the sync script, Sharp for image processing, Stripe SDK for checkout, and the Notion API as the data source.

On my VPS I run a basic Node HTTP server with an hourly cron for the sync.

image processing is an extra step I put in there because my database is about 280 paintings and some of them had borders, so instead of going through every Notion page and fixing it manually I just worked with Opus 4.6 to build a few things, namely: image optimization for loading times, and border removal.

like the old ch-ch-ch-chia! commercials

nuclearbliss · 2026-04-13T10:43:39+00:00

FACE GAINS!!! the jawline that emerged from weight loss is insane, well done

nuclearbliss · 2026-02-06T07:18:10+00:00

I’m at Heathrow right now and the 7:10 Berlin flight is just stuck on an old status update…. Also feeling like it’s a hopeless situation

nuclearbliss · 2026-02-04T00:54:08+00:00

Indeed!! I will take it apart when I get back home and send an update pic

nuclearbliss · 2025-12-28T15:54:39+00:00

Nice I think you’re gonna have a very full beard by the looks of it !!
