I've been using #Midjourney for a few months now and love it!

Though I'm slightly curious why I either go over-the-top cute...or supernatural terrifying.

Kawaii robot village...or undead traveler in an alleyway? ImageImage
Chibi forest robot...or Eldritch Cthulhu spawn? ImageImage
Living the summer break dream with your best friend...or the factory where dementors are born? ImageImage
The thing I like the most is that it doesn't matter. If you can think of it, there are tools that help you bring that idea to life.

Whether that's a sprite sheet for a cute video game...or ideas for a horror movie. ImageImage
And that's not even mentioning what happens when I combine it with the Photoshop Beta which uses AI too.

Love that I can take an image and keep expanding to fill in the gaps. ImageImageImageImage
I know there's a lot of hate for #AIart but honestly, I've had so much fun using #Midjourney and Photoshop the past few months.

Giving me tools to be creative in new ways that I haven't had before...and I'm 100% for that!

I eagerly welcome the coming tsunami of AI generated web content.

Why?

Short answer: It will force us to reconnect in actual communities as humans in order to not drown in AI generated "content" Image
I hate using Google.

You have to WORK to find what you need.

Top results are always ads and SEO generated crap clawing for spot number 1. The results suck. The articles are long form writing to cram in keywords.

It's garbage.

AI makes this exponentially worse.
And that's a wonderful thing! 🎉

We've all been frogs slowly boiling in water.

We became ok with the fact that the internet is a bunch of word garbage and real human interaction is hard to find in public spaces.

The incoming tsunami is waking us up. This is cuter than it needs...

I came downstairs for lunch and saw my four kids staring at the ground outside. I went out to see what they were looking at and saw a dead hummingbird. It had flown into the window and died immediately.

My 7yo daughter: “What do we do, Dad?”
“We can bury her,” I replied.

I picked up the poor bird and wrapped her in some paper towels. Then the five of us walked to the back edge of our property.

I handed the bird to my 10yo son and dug a small hole while my children watched.
My 13yo daughter said “Wait” and handed me some flowers she picked.

I opened the paper towel wrapping, placed them next to the bird, and wrapped her back up.

Then I just stood there for a moment holding this poor little thing.

Went for a walk during lunch yesterday to wrap my mind around a few thoughts.

Have felt like I was having trouble thinking lately.

Then it hit me.

The way I think has changed.
On the walk I realized that the trouble I've had in thinking isn't that I can't think.

Rather I'm thinking at a deeper and more specific level on a lot of new topics.

I'm forming brand-spankin'-new mental paradigms around subjects of interest that are new to me.
This is a driving motivation in my ultralearning project. I lack the specific vocabulary and mental models to get to the next level I want to get to.

Ultralearning Planning & Research

Currently in the process of planning an ultralearning project.

Taking the next two weeks to create a plan. Will start the last two weeks of the year. Historically, that is a good learning time for me.
For more on Ultralearning, check out @ScottHYoung's website and book.

scotthyoung.com/blog/ultralear…
As I understand it, initial steps in ultralearning focus on

- WHY - What is my personal motivation for learning this subject?
- WHAT - What are the Concepts, Facts, and Procedures of this topic? i.e. how is knowledge structured
- HOW - How will you will learn what's required?

Why I believe Roam is Antifragile

a thread by yours truly
Quick recap on Antifragile:

There is a concept that a spectrum exists measuring things weakened by stress (fragile), unaffected by it (robust), or strengthened by it (antifragile).

We had no word for the last one so @nntaleb invented "antifragile".
Information overload: the negative state humans enter when they've received too much information or data.

This flow of information could be seen as stress and we as humans with internal memory capacity weaken if we receive an overabundance of it too quickly.

Person A reaches monolithic status in niche group.
Person B challenges them publicly, albeit often aggressively.

Months later: LOLZ jk! It was all a marketing prank. We friends! Now buy my stuff!

Not sure how I'm feeling about either right now. Don't like being duped for cash.
I'd feel different if it wasn't disclosed for the first time on a sales page. The entire sales copy is basically "This was all an act" and then two purchase buttons with the hope reputations are enough to buy.

We've been lying + Trust what you think you know of us = ?
I'm open to the idea that I'm missing something or reading this wrong because a lot of people are responding with "This is epic!"

But knowing that people have been intentionally misled for a marketing purpose feels sleazy to me.

And contrary to others, I'm not here for that.
