On my desk tonight! A little WIP

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

There is currently a Kickstarter for the Marvel and SLG comics (as well as some other goodies), and though it has blown its target goal out of the water, we need to send a strong message to Disney that people love this property and want to see more of it. To help, we need to run up the backer numbers on the KS! If you were on the fence about backing, consider getting the TPs, or if you don't want anything, consider backing without a reward. You can donate $1 and it would still count towards the number of backers! Don't wait, don't sit on the sidelines and hope these get published later. If you can afford it, please vote with your wallet and back the KS. Let's tell Disney loud and clear that Gargoyles is still a viable property!

Fantastic Sailor Moon wedding gown,custom made by Firefly Path for Keiko Takamura.  

They nailed Princess Serenity’s ethereal look, nicely translating 2D design into a real object (the butterfly bow is especially striking!).

A lovely pop culture tribute to Christian Dior “Palladium Gown”, Naoko Takeuchi’s inspiration for Serenity’s dress:

Guppy No. 40

It’s a dog! It’s a fish! It’s way cuter than either of those! This hunting dog inspired design features UV reactive shades of orange - safety first!
