  • Didn’t realize I needed a gimbal webcam!
    Dec 29 2022

    Griffin didn’t buy the Insta360 Link 4K Webcam because it has a gimbal. But it turns out, auto-tracking movement is its most useful feature. Even better, the image quality outperforms the similarly priced 4K Opal C1 ($300), which is marketed as “The first professional webcam.”

    Plus, Nick lets Lensa AI reference his selfies to generate “Magic Avatars.”

  • We look horrific as AI-generated art
    Dec 1 2022

    Nick has been writing prompts for AI images on Midjourney v4. Griffin’s been playing with DiffusionBee on Mac. Our faces may render horrifically in AI, but for many other use cases, the results are uncanny, with plenty of rapidly arriving ethical and copyright implications for artists.

    Nick recommends listening to this interview with Midjourney founder and CEO David Holz.
