Simplifying

It's gone full circle, this web site. It's is now the blog...again.

I've been changing things up for years. Never satisfied with what I'm doing. I'm done with all that and staying in one place.

It's built as a static site using Eleventy and hosted on Azure. It's updated when I commit to GitHub which is nice.

It finally feels like my internet home.

AI Generated Photo with a Getty Watermark

Curiosity got the better of me and I tried Stable Diffusion for the first time a couple of nights ago.

The prompt I started with was somehting like "A woman sitting at a bar looking into the camera as a mid century painting." It looked like a nightware fever dream so I changed it.

My next prompt was something like "A black and white photo of a woman sitting at a bar looking into the camera through a window with condensation" I was thinking Saul Leiter but did not write it in the prompt.

This is the image that was generated. Clearly taken from Getty with he watermark still there!

The next day I see Daring Fireball posted to an article on The Verge about Getty Images suing Stable Diffusion.

OOF!
