I had a similar thought last night, that the GANs and the way they work in terms of prompts, how it can go wrong in ways, it's exactly like Austin osman spare and his sigils. I wonder what he would have made of the GANs.

Yeah I was thinking about his explanation of the purpose of divination via cartomancy, namely exiting the rational epistemology.

The way I explained it last night, fucked on mushrooms, is that you need to bury your actual want, get rid of it, first by making the letters that make it up into the glyph, then by forgetting about it.

I cast a spell using his technique, and if went slightly wrong. I'm not gonna do it again.

The GANs are the same, cos you are querying the deep subconscious in a sense, in this case the Internet arranged as a series of images and pieces of text, with meta data. I mean, it is a godhead in that sense. Or a blind watchmaker.

my deep unconcious is a lot more interesting than a kind of vaguely suggestive splodge

There are two earths - two stratas of consciousness now - much like changing the channels on your television ... it's all about the ability to alter your own ascension, your own evolution,
to influence the Earth's rise back to a twelfth dimensional fully christed state of consciousness and to open a door for humanity to walk through into a fifth and multi-dimensional level.
Having an awareness about this - not a fearful state of mind - the ability to start to vibrate into that level of consciousness - engaging with the higher-self, engaging with the soul really...
to create an alignment of awareness into these higher multi-dimensional realities with a very simple step into the fifth dimension, a state of well-being, a state of co-creation, cooperation, grace, integrity, humility, respect, dignity...
You are creating an entirely new Realm of Consciousness. Gaia is very clear about what's happening - it's us who are now beginning to be informed about another chapter in this transition -
Your Innate is your second brain, it is dynamically quantum - the innate and the higher self - use this tool that is intuition ... it's helping you with Synchronicity.

Infinite worlds to explore...

the guy who wrote the blog linked to above seems to specialise in ugly panoramas, but the article has some interesting insights into the way CLIP "works" and how it can be used and abused to try and steer the AI into producing the desire image - maybe helpful for anyone who is looking to play with the code in a notebook

hypnogram seems to have died - not working for me from home or at work - I wouldn't be surprised if they have run out of money for the GPU processing, it's been hammered the last few weeks - back to google collab for me


@catalog here's an online AI that allows you to upload photos - i've not investigated further because it relies on a "credit" system ( means money changes hands.. ) - it appears to be a variation of STYLEGAN ( i.e., style transfer )

I was expecting to this happen, which was why I was hammering it.

Here is the GAN interface I found a couple years ago, which lets you continuously add text to generate images. You can also play back the run, which is displayed alongside the sequence of words as they were typed.

The output is impressionistic to say the least.
