Yes, right, I’m following
I asked MidJourney for step-by-step instructions on how to boil pasta, with labels, in black and white. Follow along!
You can see how it works. It has all the elements plucked from various other diagrams – aesthetically, it fits the bill – but functionally, it’s gibberish.
At first, Grok seemed to make more sense . But actually….nah. (“Fni pot with wator – Add pastin – Stir gontly – Sieyorttttttttttta”). Second try, so. Much. Pasta.
By the way, MidJourney’s new feature is video. I asked it to animate the title image and all’s I’ll say is, the file was big, ugly and boring.

I miss the running weasel. If I recall correctly that was a flash animation, how long has it been? Woof. Long time.
My boss sat in a meeting and tried to get technical answers from MidJourney and Grok while the meeting went on without him. All he got was more confused gibberish and side-eye looks from me. I mean, c’mon if you don’t know are you gonna hold up AI as the expert and take their answers? Shit. I need a new job.

In DP news, we missed a good candidate; no one picked him. After lingering on after a heart attack, Pentecostal televangelist Jimmy Swaggert has died, age 90. RIP

@Uncle AL
Sorry but I did pick him. And your right he was a good candidate. He was in the hospital at the time of his death.

Televangelist who loved to minister to ladies of the evenings.
He went to more confessions than Cradle Catholics.
Uncle Al, the deadpool tag had not been attached yet.

There’s still hope for Hillary and Bill Gates!
Well, you know what I mean.
I remember watching that clown out of boredom when I lived in San Angelo Tx and there was only broadcast television to watch. “Oh lord (heavy sob) I have sinned! (blubber)”.
I always thought if I had a last name that was that close to “Swagger” I’d have changed it, but it suited the unholy scum bag.

Apologies, LavenderGirl, I was careless and scanned the wrong DP comments without noticing. I should have thought to check for a missing tag as that’s happened before.
Congratulations, and Well done!

At first glance, I thought you were getting ready to steam tamales.

Looks like a flow chart drawn by the monkeys with the typewriters trying to write a Shakespearean play.
