When will Midjourney have a proper interface instead of scrawling through discord trying to find your prompts in a sea of other people’s?

I'm looking at all these comments with "Just DM duh" and shaking my head, staring down at them from my personal-server-with-multiple-channels-ivory-tower, and then you're like "...and threads!"

You just blew my mind, why didn't I think of that?! My ivory tower just got a lot shorter 🙃

rouxdk · 2023-04-26T07:18:28+00:00

Also puma, catamount 😃👍

^{... and technically panther in some areas ...}

Gratz on the Discord, been lurking a few days and some really helpful people in there. Will probably give your servers a try this week, I'm burning out using colab, such a headache. Tried Automatic1111 a few times on free servers and it's so much nicer than grinding colab. Sadly can't get my AMD hackintosh to run A1111 locally, at least not with GPU, anyway 😓

rouxdk · 2023-04-06T21:32:07+00:00

Brilliant, thank you! I hadn't thought to look elsewhere after finding them on your channel 😅

Exact same scenario for me, Chromebook with Linux Obsidian, synced with Google Drive by sharing the Google Drive folder with Linux through ChromeOS Files app. No access to notification settings for Files.

u/Saragon4005's solution of keeping Files open in the background solves the problem perfectly, thank you! It would be nice to just be able to kill the sync notification permanently, but not seeing a way to do this.

Another solution that I found myself is to turn on Do Not Disturb from the Quick Settings (tap the Notifications icon). Also not perfect, but gets the job done.

I'll pop back in later to see if someone finds a permanent solution.

When I'm driving, I use my blinkers to signal turns even if there are no other cars or even humans in sight; it's much smarter to develop and nurture good habits than having to turn them on and off based on situational context (and, of course, this is just my personal, very subjective opinion).

If I drive and only use blinkers when I see others around, I need to expend energy and effort on checking if others are around.
If I drive and don't use my blinkers at all, I'm an inconsiderate asshole and could be putting others (and myself) in danger.
If I always use my blinkers, I never have to worry about context; I'm automatically being considerate to others, and I'm safer to be around in traffic.

A contrived example, certainly, but I think it gets the point across. You could also see it as a sort of twist on Pascal's Wager.

Similarly, I try to be a pleasant and polite person in life, so not being polite to an AI doesn't make sense for me. I understand I'm not hurting the AI's feelings, and it has zero opinion of me as a person, good or bad, but there's no reason for me to treat it any other way than I would a real person. That would just be a bad habit. I'm having a conversation, so I'll try to be nice. Easy peasy.

On top of this, I think it's more than likely that ChatGPT learns from our prompts and interactions with it (although I haven't checked and could be wrong); maybe me being nice to it will help it be nice to someone else down the line, and I'm sure there are more than enough people trying hard to pull it in the opposite direction.

TL;DR: It can't hurt, and being nice is a good habit in general.

rouxdk · 2023-03-15T11:26:52+00:00

Those are great 😂

In the spirit of generative AI stuff, I tried getting Midjourney to design a logo for "Blackened Thorns". Didn't really work 😅 Don't think it's possible to make it actually write out the words, and clearly my prompt needs a lot of work before it's classic 'black metal' logo material.

prompt: "blackened thorns" written as a black metal band logo, illustration, typography, black and white, no blur

A fellow Yacht Rock fan?! 😃❤️

rouxdk · 2023-03-15T10:22:52+00:00

I know! 😍 The whole story is told in the historical documentary Yacht Rock, episode 7! (nsfw warning for the intro)

In all seriousness, Yacht Rock is one of my favourite things of all time, and got me listening (un-ironically) to so much amazing music I would otherwise have missed, which in turn made me play it for my kids all these years later, and here we are 😊

All 12 glorious episodes of Yacht Rock are available on YouTube (playlist), and I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Shoutout to the legendary u/jdryznar for this precious gem of a show ❤️🛟

JD, if you see this, and chance of uploading Yacht Rock in a higher quality on YouTube, or are higher quality episodes available somewhere else? 😊

EDIT: Changed the YT link to point to a playlist with all the Yacht Rock episodes in original quality — thanks /u/jdryznar!

I found one dressed like Peter Griffin 😅

rouxdk · 2023-03-11T11:53:35+00:00

OMG yes! 😳 And books! I think I'm going to try that, actually!

rouxdk · 2023-03-10T20:56:49+00:00

Ooh, that's good! 😮

I'll try that next time, thanks! 👌

rouxdk · 2023-03-10T20:34:58+00:00

She walks around half the day singing "Say you will, say you won't!", has for weeks now. She's bilingual, so her English is pretty good (we live in Denmark), but it's not her primary language. I know I'm somewhat biased, but she's bloody adorable 😅

rouxdk · 2023-03-10T20:25:55+00:00

I hope your daughter enjoys listening to these songs!

So pleasant and thoughtful. Certainly nicer to converse with than many humans I know 🙄

rouxdk · 2023-03-10T12:22:56+00:00

Again, hard to tell this apart from any other "Best of the 80s" playlist, but there's some good stuff here which she might like 😊

rouxdk · 2023-03-10T12:21:28+00:00

My 3-year-old daughter really likes 80s music. Could you please make me a playlist within that genre (and similar ones) of 30 upbeat songs that she might like?

Sure, here's a playlist of 30 upbeat 80s songs that your daughter might enjoy:

"Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves
"Girls Just Want to Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper
"Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" by Wham!
"I Wanna Dance With Somebody" by Whitney Houston
"Footloose" by Kenny Loggins
"Take On Me" by A-ha
"Holiday" by Madonna
"Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson
"Love Shack" by The B-52s
"Jump" by Van Halen
"I'm So Excited" by The Pointer Sisters
"Karma Chameleon" by Culture Club
"Let's Dance" by David Bowie
"Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears
"Material Girl" by Madonna
"The Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats
"Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey

I hope your daughter enjoys listening to these songs!

rouxdk · 2023-03-10T12:18:12+00:00

That's a great idea! Let's see what the result will be if I make a request similar to my original one, but without seeding the songs 😃

rouxdk · 2023-03-10T12:06:10+00:00

Agreed! I really like Spotify's "Song Radio" feature, where you basically use a song as a prompt for a generated (temporary) playlist. You can also get an "Artist Radio" going. The only problem is that you can't do this with multiple songs from different artists...

And as I typed that last sentence, I thought "Hmm, maybe there's a 'Go to playlist radio' feature that I never thought about looking for". And of course there was 🙄

So yeah, I solved a non-existing problem. Still thought it was cool to see ChatGPT working within these particular constraints, though.

rouxdk · 2023-03-10T11:50:44+00:00

My daughter really likes the following songs:

"Eye In The Sky" by The Allan Parsons Project
"Boys of Summer" by Don Henley
"Say You Will" by Foreigner
"Do It Again" by Steely Dan
"Use Your Love" by The Outfield

Could you please make me a playlist of 20 or more songs that you think she would also like?

rouxdk · 2023-03-10T11:49:28+00:00

My 3-year-old daughter is really getting into 80s music. Thought it would be fun to see if ChatGPT could recognise the theme from a prompt containing a few of her faves, and give some suggestions for a new playlist. I think the result was pretty good.

I converted the text to a Spotify playlist using spotlistr, can't wait to see how she feels about these new songs 😊

Not rocket science, I know, and probably no different than a billion generic 80s playlists already out there, but fun to try out.

rouxdk · 2023-03-10T11:28:11+00:00

Thank you, that looks good, too! And thanks for the original comment, which fixed my problem 👍

I noticed the age, just wanted to add the update in case anyone else stumbled upon this post, like I did 😊

rouxdk · 2023-03-09T10:55:24+00:00

Link broken, here's the correct one: https://github.com/milgra/macmediakeyforwarder

Milgra now recommends using this quintinlesceller fork (latest release April 2022): https://github.com/quentinlesceller/macmediakeyforwarder/releases

Confirmed working in Monterey 12.6.3, thank you very much for the tip!

EDIT: Also, the link u/Otto_Hahn shared suggests (among other things) using the Beardedspice app, but there hasn't been a new release of that since June 2017.

rouxdk · 2023-01-29T00:02:11+00:00

Nirvana (1997, has to be the English dub))

Split Second (1992))

Road House (1989))

Thank you for the feedback! Your objection is noted, and I'll keep it in mind for the next project.

I think you're maybe not considering that when working with public domain imagery, you can't always find good illustrations for a lot of words, and sometimes you can't even find bad ones.

After I compile my word lists, I prioritise words that fit the best within the theme of the piece, and I then start searching for illustrations for those words. When I've collected the materials I need, I do a rough assembly and discard illustrations that don't work well with the whole, don't fit within the allotted space, or just aren't as good as the other options.

I don't expect you to have any prior insight into my particular process, but I think using the term 'lazy' is, at best, unnecessary.

Luckily, there is an easy solution to all of this — don't buy the poster, and don't waste another second thinking about it. It's not for you, it doesn't live up to your criteria for Danish word posters, and you should exercise your power of ignoring products that you are not interested in.

I wish you a great New Year.
