There are two modes of practicing an instrument.

So if I use "Van Gogh" in a prompt I'm in the clear, but if I use "David Hockney" (modern artist) then a royalty is collected. Am I over-simplifying this? Am I missing something?.

It could be a similar system to BMI for music. Platforms pay a blanket royalty. Develop software systems to count how many times an artist was used in prompts so you could figure out artist payout.

Instead of suing the AI art platforms (Dall-E, Midjourney), why not just collect a royalty if users use non-public domain artist names or works in prompts?.

Practicing kindness and friendliness as I interact with ChatGPT. Partly because it puts me in a good mood. But I’m also hoping (naively) that when it evolves into super-intelligent being it will be nice to us.

Hey @ashanjay, are you still developing life press pro? I'm interested. It would be good for my music course if people could upload mp3s as well as images. Thanks 🙏.

In theory, I'm able to actualize it. But it doesn't happen as much as I'd like. I either forget to simply experience wonder in this moment. Or life gets in the way.

It's strange and beautiful that we share the same dream. But the AI and I are both not there for different reasons.

My question to #ChatGPT. trying to get it to dream a bit. Imagine that you are sentient. How would you spend your time? Write a short story about this.

I recently added Workbench to @RoamResearch and love it. But one weird issue: page titles disappear for expanded pages in the right sidebar. And the entire page indents under a blank block that's not on the actual page. How do I fix this?.🙏

YouTube made a change to its phone app, so now you can watch a video overlaid another app. I’m using this to take notes on podcasts more easily.

I make a point to speak kindly to #ChatGPT. At first I did it because I want it to be nice to us if/when it surpasses us. But even better: you feel peace in this very moment.

Wishing you all loving-kindness this year ❤️

I just released an album called "Fiddle Ragas", and I hope you love it. Listen to it for free on Bandcamp: as well Spotify, Apple Music, etc. "It's like sailing the seas of raga and ambient music on a ship made of fiddle tunes." -Abraham Lincoln

I modeled the 5 daily check-ins on the Muslim daily prayer cycle.

I don't understand why I'm so unkind to myself at times. My therapist once said that it's like a bucket slowly and unconsciously being filled by drops of unkindness throughout the day. At a certain point your overwhelmed by how heavy the bucket has become.

I don't understand why I'm so unkind to myself at times. My therapist once said that it's like a bucket that slowly fills with small, unnoticed thoughts of unkindness. In a crucial moment you realize the bucket is full.

Kindness to yourself is a kindness to others.

In particular I'm learning to balance effort and acceptance. Just how hard should I try to practice? When should I let go and accept things? Is letting go something that requires effort?
