> People often say, ‘Oh, you work so hard,’ and I say, ‘We don’t work; we play.’ I try to keep that in the front of my brain when things are getting tiresome. ‘Jesus, we’ve worked too hard. No, we’ve played too hard.’

@JamesClear your "the person who has the most fun wins" point reminded me of a great Paul McCartney quote I came across recently (jillianhess.substack.com/p/the-beatles-…), about The Beatles' wild productivity:

New favourite hobby: getting Chat GPT to rewrite long, confusing letters and make them shorter, more contextual and action-oriented, so that I have more confidence that I've understood them properly.

@timpaul @markhurrell My kids and I have gotten a lot of mileage out of Sneaky Sasquatch, which has many 'GTA-but-safe' vibes and great writing apps.apple.com/us/app/sneaky-…

@fofrAI Could this approach be applied to Automatic1111 😉?

I love this example of using GPT to make complex software more accessible to new users

Just sneaking in at the end of #servicesweek , my 2023 version of Service Assessment bingo vickyteinaki.com/blog/service-a… - thanks @Anne_Tweetings @petembates @simoneverest @mr_stephenhill @tomskerous @DebBlanch44 for suggestions even if I couldn't fit them all in!

From a DM, just in case anyone else needs to hear this.

As a... – website visitor I want to... – visit the FAQ page so that... – I can read answers to a bunch of stupid questions that nobody has ever asked, littered with SEO keywords, that Barry from the marketing department insists is helping drive organic traffic

@bmwelby If purely for the coffee, then Hermanos.

Twitter, please could I have your suggestions for your favourite cafes near Victoria?

I've put together my first YouTube video, covering all the ControlNet models with examples of their outputs. All those models can be hard to get your head around. Hoping this will be useful for folks just starting. youtube.com/watch?v=GVCZHC…

@fofrAI Ha! I think your version of their house is a lot cleaner than I would expect it to be...

Making the Simpson’s living room a reality. Another controlnet experiment with Stable Diffusion. It was really tricky balancing the different models (and their weights) with this one. I used scribble, hed and depth, plus img2img.

@fofrAI "Pulp Fiction: a Telltale game" – I'd play that...

Trying out multiple controlnet models at once. Canny, hed and depth in this one, plus a 0.95 img2img to get the colours right.

@fofrAI Is that like American cheese vs actual cheese?

@fofrAI I wonder how money earned by responding to surveys compares against the costs of ChatGPT API usage 🤔👀

I asked ChatGPT which Disney princess it was. news.disney.com/quiz-which-dis… It's Belle.
