That would be a nice contribution to humanity
Glow in the Dark Manta Ray
So Dall-E Mini is doing the Internet rounds
Amongst the rising background hum of AI Sentience in the hype news cycle
I'm sure you know
Here's somebody hosting an instance of it
So what is it?
It is a type of machine learning algorithm called a neural network. This one has been trained on visual data from the Internet. It takes a textual input and creates a visual output influenced by the aggregate processing of it's training data
You type in some words, you get 9 generated images
Two nights ago during a pain-induced extension of insomnia, I had the desire to listen to The Horn Track by The Egyptian Empire
In that moment, my darling entered the chat and I thought it would be funny to create a hamburger called 'The Egyptian Empire'
Imagine walking into Burger Store and seeing The Egyptian Empire on the menu
I'd buy that without even reading the ingredients. Bring it on
Such a burger, if realised, would need to be large in scale and pyramidal in shape
And then it really hit me: I could use Dall-E Mini to visually manifest this idea
So here I am, iteratively working toward the image in my mind's eye, cajoling this complex domain-specific statistical model into heaving forth a hamburger in the shape of a pyramid:
Top left is definitely a pyramid eating a hamburger
Pyramids of burgers
And here we have a winner folks!
The Egyptian Empire:
Of the lot, this is the one closest to the idea
Here's a couple more, unrelated ideas I wanted to see on the day:
Which one's your favourite?
Share your generated images below. Mention my name in your posts. Flex your imagination. Just don't get caught up in the AI mystique
I just think it would make a good name for a burger...

That's awesome you share that, I just learned about dalle yesterday! Hey, do you know if these images can be used for any purpose, are they royalty free, or does one have to attribute source on usage?
Also, as far as snoop dog goes tell him to take pictures and we can do 1st NFT mint in outer space with those digital assets... just an idea... lol

Glad!
As far as image re-use goes, I have no idea of the specifics. Best practice in my opinion is to make it clear where the images come from whenever you use them
Beyond that, perhaps you could get in touch with the developer of the implementation I linked to for more info?
And yeah, I'll bring it up next time I see Calvin
Awesome... thanks for the reply. I really love all the new AI tech being developed and available and want to celebrate its use through promotion. Just always need to be clear on specifics of respecting a creator's desire for its proper and acceptable usage. I want to entertwine this type of content in a fictional narrative to educate others on topics like these. I am so impressed by the varieties of emergence of AI applications and technologies.
As am I friend! The things machine learning can actually do are exciting and interesting
I am interested in curating the latest and best information together to republish and provide commentary on, then launch a live interactive show for dialogue... what do you think of that idea? Would you like to join in sometime? Do you have something of value to offer humanity, in terms of creative insight for mutual benefit through the open sharing of valued information, topics and dialogue? Just curious...
Live interactive show! Sounds great, I would love to join in some time. How will you be running this show?
Do I have something to offer? Absolutely! Do I have something of value to offer humanity? Perhaps!
In my view, scepticism is highly valuable
Although, it's the role of other people to fairly determine the value of my contribution. Figuratively AND literally. Figuratively by considering the specificity of my expression, literally by voting on this platform
Well I think a diversity of input coupled with addressing the most timely and significant subject matter issues within the realm of artificial intelligence technologies sounds quite exciting to me and could potentially gain significant viewer interest, but also lead to some interesting, thought provoking educational opportunities. I would like to also make it entertaining and digestible for the masses. I graduated from Cal Berkeley in 2001 with a degree in mediation and I am thinking something along the lines of Geraldo Rivera meets Maury Povich. I am a big fan of Lawrence Lessig's concept of remix culture, and Dick Orkin of Chicken Man fame is a high inspiration to me.
