Apologies to all my subscribers that I haven’t kept up a stream of conscious writing but I was recently hijacked in the best possible way.
OpenAI put me on the alpha testing of a new version of their text-to-image generator DALL-E. We were told we had 10 days to check it out, generating as much as we like so long as we feed our responses back.
So this is a quick one to show you what I’ve been doing (these are all straight from DALL-E with no adjustments and, in particular, no attempts to clean up the sometimes peculiar rendering of hands).
Crones of the World
This series grows from the Princesses series, the first collection is on ClubRare. My question is: where do powerful princesses go to? My wife gave the answer: they become crones: powerful, wise women with much experience of life.





Heroic Cats
Developing from the iconic kittens, the idea of them growing up to be heroes in human roles came to me. Whatever the merits of this anthropomorphism, I find the results cute and surprisingly engaging.






Next up
I’m working on a blog about sleep. Like breathing, and a few other skills, it’s taken me the larger part of 60 years to learn some basic life skills. Skills I’d like to share.
Meanwhile, if you have any questions about this text-to-image stuff or related, do fire away. I’m also preparing a piece (after sleep) on the very hot topic of machine learning for AI image generation.
See you soon!
I never have! Must check it out!

Although I am enjoying the A7iV😊
