Here is some Delicious Soup as I work on the second 1000 words for the day! #nanowrimo #midjourney
PANSSSAINS! #midjourney v4.alpha (woot! Not what I was working on, but couldn't resist sharing this one somehow.
... and my AV (pfp) is an adorable Delirium Cultist made with #midjourney . I am hoping it does not look enough like (say) an anime character that people might... make incorrect assumptions about me.
Apparently one can pin multiple posts? If so, here's the link right into the draft of my #midjourney 2022 book: https://ceoln.wordpress.com/about/various-flings-nanowrimo-2022/
An #introduction:
Bachelor's degree in #Philosophy from Princeton, 1981, which makes me ?good at ?discussion?.
#Zen #Buddhist #Pantheist #atheist
#Radical (for the US) #politics, in that I think power should be more fairly distributed than it is now,.
Master's in #compsci from Pace, 1985ish; professional #coder for like 40 years, mostly for #IBM and now for #google (all opinions strictly my own, of course, not theirs!), mostly on the #systems side. #cpp and anything else really, they're just languages. :)
Greatly enjoy #writing, and I've done a number of #nanowrimo novels (working on the dozenth in 2022). Have also greatly enjoyed playing with #gpt3.
I have no visual skills, but lately I've been producing thousands of images using #midjourney and a few with other text-to-image tools. The future is wild!
Just to mention: I'm combining #nanowrimo and #midjourney this year, in that each Fling (okay, chapter) of the book this year is headed by an image I made in MJ, and the words are (to a greater or lesser extent) inspired by or reflective of the image.
Some of the images are more or less random (with a prompt like "illustration for chapter nine"), others are more specifically created.
Yay crossovers. :)
I now attempt my first image toot!
