Show me a pickle riding a bicycle!!” One of my absolute favorite things about playing with these new tools is that it feels like exploration! Whatever pops into my mind I can now fire it at these algorithms and see what the collective consciousness machine throws back at me. It’s never dull!

So a couple weeks ago out of nowhere I asked it to show me a pickle riding a bike. And it did!! I’ll release that later of course. But in the same vein I was perchance listening to some Beatles and wanted to see what I’d get back if I started feeding the machine song lyrics. There were almost a dozen attempts that were garbled nonsense but this one I love.

I should really try some enhancing and outpainting shmabey?!?! You can a somewhat rough dalle2 image like this one into stable diffusion (nightcafe.studio has it) and set the prompt really high and the noise super low so it will return hopefully enhanced sharpened versions of the original image. I’m not great at this yet but it’s worked a few times. Then you take it back to dalle2 and use outpainting to have it imagine a bigger image with this kernel at its center. We live in the freakin future. What will all this look like by Sunday June 15th 2025???

*who uses words like ‘perchance’?? What a weirdo.
