Good video bro.... if I were to kindly request that you stick a pop filter in front of your HyperX? I'm not sure if it applies to many, but for those of us with higher end headphones, there's a really strong sub-bass response from your recording, which try as I might, I've struggled to EQ out. If I were to describe the sound .... it's like a loud bassy heartbeat in my head throughout your video..... and it's nothing more than the wispy breaths on your condenser as you narrate. Anyway.... keep em coming :)
Leaps and bounds, David! Thanks for including us in your journey. What you are developing here is light years beyond what many of us thought possible. I can’t wait, not only for AWB to go live, but for your course that will guide us to greater heights using your tool(s)! Congrats 🎉
What you are doing is really novel and I do think that eventually we might have a coding language for LLMs however you should think about changing the design of your website. It’s the typical one that clickbaiters and course sellers use, and basically associates your work with spammers. Just my two cents as someone who works in the digital space.
I'm actually Automating the processes. Anyone that has used a tool like VidIQ or a video editing software is Automating processes as well, this is not any different from that point of view. I checked out your channel and your videos look great, thought it seems like a couple of years since you last uploaded, I'm curious why?
@@AppyDave I just did not find the time to do more! I am always putting ways too much time into this stuff! I am having a lot that I would like to share in RU-vid but its too time consuming, so I mainly post on Instagram! Shorts did not seem to work for me! I also build a couple of bots to boost my reach on Instagram but refrained on it later because social media will punish a channel so the plattform will not be overrun by this type of content! Unless you are on TikTok probably! 😁
It's pretty good. I ported the published Collab notebook to use AWS Bedrock and have instantly improved prompts for some workflow automation things I'm working on. Thanks for adding your experience and workflow to the mix.
Thank you for this! I've been seeing "Buy me a Coffee" a lot recently and was curious what it was. I was looking into Patreon, but this looks like another great option!
I got banned last week after supporting the company since version 3. It hurts. I've generated something like 20K images and twice now have paid for a year's subscription (meaning they're going to keep the rest of my money, I guess). My first warning was when I generated an image of Donald Trump with an alien toupee. Stupid as hell, but no biggie. it got me banned for like a day. This time, it was permanent, and I have no clue what it was. I have pushed my luck with gore in the past, but come on. A lifetime ban? That's insane. I'd love to know a decent alternative, but I was really enjoying MJ and it sounds like they're getting ready to implement some amazing new things. Assholes...
I tried generating funny images with Donald Trump randomly because I wanted to create some humorous work that I thought Americans might find amusing from my point of view. However, I don't take sides in politics at all. I just find Trump to be a funny guy in terms of memes and thought of testing it out. All the prompts were blocked, and weeks later, I was poorly received by MJ support on Discord. The next morning, I generated some images involving the American flag. No mockery, just beautiful images involving America. In summary, I didn't do anything against the rules, but I believe the reason for my ban was that I was perceived as a supporter of one political side or the other. The support team gave me an empty and nonsensical response, and I also lost money because there will be no refund, and I won't be able to use the remaining credits from my plan. If you have any alternative suggestions, I'm open to them. I don't intend to use MJ anymore, and I'll do everything I can to oppose this company! And I’m not American.
@@hakicapivara American politics are a joke. It's all Coke vs Pepsi nonsense that serves the interests of rich assholes. It's frightening that a corporation decides what's acceptable and what's not to generate. Sure it's AI art now, but how long until you won't be allowed to criticize people in power with any medium? I've been messing around with Flux Pro through Glif and Civitai. I've already made some cool stuff. Have fun!
I too am doing everything to appose the company, I feel they are have no integrity and today decided to start using Leonardo.AI as my main tool, I will do some videos on it when I have some spare time.
Yeah, i got banned recently also, two days after i paid for a new month. Sort of similar problems, i used to live in Turkey, then i moved to Spain and now live here. Their support never explain the ban nor ready for any sort of communication, i think that's a BS really. Well, decided to fininsh with them and use other tools, glad i didnt pay for a yearly plan... I sympathize with you and can feel the upset at this company's behavior.
Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s always helpful to hear from others who have faced similar challenges. Wishing you the best of luck in finding a more reliable service!
I sympathize with AppyDave. I'm in Australia and haven't been to other countries, so I'm not sure if this is due to cross-region login issues. Since I started using Midjourney, I've already had two accounts taken down (today marks the second one). On August 7th, on a day when I didn't log in, the MidjourneyBot informed me, "You have been blocked from Midjourney due to accessing our services via automation, scripting, or third party tools. Ban ID: AA080724." I saw this message today (August 11th). This is the second account of mine that has been banned. I initially suspect I may have been hacked). My second account hasn't been logged into for this month. Today, for the first time in August, I logged in and immediately saw the account ban notification. I have no idea what happened. I tried contacting them again, but I couldn’t get any help. So my account had brutal, uncommunicative, blocked. Since my first account had the same issue, so I was extremely careful with the second one, to the point where I wouldn't log in unless absolutely necessary. Yet, it still didn't last a year... Each time they ban an account, they also block the associated IP, credit card payments, and community services. I believe this could be one of the reasons for MidJourney's potential downfall in the future. I can no longer tolerate using it, no matter how useful it is. It’s truly a disappointing experience.😮💨
I agree, I have had a few issues with paid services causing me grief , they should be accountable and thats why I created this video, I can't make much of a difference, but every little bit helps
@@AppyDave Thank you for continuing to make content that informs us all on the latest and greatest AI apps out there. We all need to know which service(s) is the best and most fair and your perspective really helps!
Great tutorial. I like to add "dev tool" buttons that display the code, a changelog, and a playtesting menu. I usually make the playtesting menu so I can change game variables, but I hadn't thought to have it show a live debug screen.
If you purchased three weeks earlier from today, then you can still dispute the charge on your credit card. The cut-off is usually about 60 days. A technical solution for those who don't yet have a banned account could be to use a whitelist residential IP using a specialty proxy service like IP Royal. It does take some level of computer skills to set up. Since the company is headquartered in San Francisco, your legal options are limited because it would be extremely expensive. If someone were in the USA they could try a DIY lawsuit in federal court using ChatGPT for help.
Thanks Dave! That helped me a lot - even with the tool I have been using. Do they all have to match the reference graphic dimensions with the output graphic dimensions? The way it looks many of these all seem to have the same core engine? You seem to have gotten younger since I meet you in 2012!
Hi David, Graphics dimensions can be controlled in some tools and others can use capabilities like aspect ration, eg. 16:9 Core engine is usually Stable Diffusion or some based on DALE3. I don't feel younger, but love the compliment. :)
