Here’s an example of output —

First image is a Pepsi logo I crushed to JPEG with level 0 compression, then re-saved using the same settings.

Second image is raw output from the AI.

I've always been kind of jealous of cartoonists and illustrators that can draw these really beautiful, hand-lettered page layouts for notes or instructions for commissions.

I write things down like a doctor writing a prescription who has to also pilot a bus going over 50mph, or risk detonating a bomb onboard and killing Sandra Bullock.

@tomw I am a former journalist and man, I am so pissed that I was required to call people and confirm facts and shit. I could have been making stuff up the whole time 😂

@tomw I think unfortunately that is one of the elements driving the phenomena of weaponized fake news. People are so used to coming into a news article via a link or a feed, that as long as the page passes the smell test on a single page, it's good enough.

Like I have been routinely shocked at how many major fake news articles going viral just straight up have lorem Ipsum on the about page, or use another paper's legal statements, complete with the name.

@Fenriz very cool. I am from America, but my family lineage goes back very far in Stuttgart, Vienna and Zürich. I want to visit sometime, it looks so pleasant.

@blaine I call your era "The o_O era."

Thank you for your work — it defined my 20s, and helped me find my own kind in a new, unfamiliar, and otherwised cloistered city (Pittsburgh). Glad to see that the spirit of this early era lives on here, at Masto.

All these industry conversations about community moderation seem to conveniently forget all the lessons humanity learned from two decades of message boards and BBSes.

Obviously the lessons aren't 1:1 with today's unique platforms but it makes me smile when I see some crypto dude talking about how we need to find a way to micro-incentivize moderation tasks, or apply AI to do it all, or use community voting.

It's so simple, hire moderators from your community. Give them oversight and structures.

@briannawu I genuinely fear for journalists and their sources. A lot of people don't use PGP and this is a very dangerous moment.

A white man standing at a podium, with a microphone. He is wearing the official Space Force uniform. It is ugly as sin, and if you're blind, believe me, you're better off not seeing it.

@Paarsec I am a professional artist and Masto is really making it easy for me to connect with other artists again. I'm feeling inspired to draw for the first time in a long time. Please share more — it helps others make art too.

Chilling on the couch, getting my brain right for work this week. Replaying Fallout 4 on my #SteamDeck and hanging out with the wife. Feeling good.

I am thinking that I will probably use this space to post my personal art and explorations into new mediums. I really need an excuse to get back to doing projects in Cinema 4D anyway.

I will also likely post a lot about my #design work as I'm working on it, and various thoughts and snark about branding in the tech world.

I am also happy to contribute my skills to FOSS projects, feel free to direct message me if you wanna talk.

Ok so I'm just gonna straight up admit something since I'm here in like-kind. So I cut my teeth with #linux on Ubuntu in 2004, and immediately moved to #archlinux to run my TonidoPlug (if anyone remembers that). I used Arch for years, and got really skilled with it.

I've given Arch a really fair squeeze. I think I just like :debian: and apt better. 🤷‍♂️ I'm sorry.
