Demons. You can feel them crawling along your spine. You hear the gnashing of their teeth, like the rustle of something old and rusty, carried by a chilly winter breeze. And when you least expect it, you feel like dying alive, when its claws seem to break through your flesh and squeeze your heart like a ripe fruit. You know that you have been caught and there is no turning back, you are trapped in that place where frost and a deathly silence reign, only torn by its high-pitched screams.

They are coming again. It’s so cold in this desolate land and the only place to run away is the warmth of your home. You run, only stopping for a moment to catch your breath, as you can feel your body shaking, and your feet and hands like puppets that are being controlled by unseen strings. You know that there’s no place that’s safe and that you have to survive this night, at any cost. You can feel their claws scratching across your flesh, your spine. And then their laughs reach your brain, and your fear turns into something different, something irrational, like a wild animal trapped in a cage.

When they are gone, you hear the silence again. It is the silence of your own heart. You sit there, just waiting for a sound that will never come back to your chest. Until you will hear their screams again. And you will die alive, again and again, forever.

Demonios. Los puedes sentir arrastrándose, reptando a lo largo de tu espina dorsal. Escuchas el rechinar de sus dientes, como el murmullo de algo viejo y oxidado, traído por una gélida brisa invernal. Y cuando menos lo esperas, te sientes morir en vida, cuando sus garras parecen abrirse paso a través de tu carne y estrujar tu corazón como una fruta madura. Sabes que te han atrapado y ya no hay vuelta atrás, estás atrapado en aquel lugar donde reina la escarcha y un silencio sepulcral, tan sólo rasgado por sus agudos chillidos.

Están viniendo otra vez. Hace un frio gélido en estos desolados parajes, y el único lugar para huir es la calidez de tu hogar. Corres desesperado, y tan sólo te detienes un momento para recuperar el aliento, pues sientes tu cuerpo temblando, y como si los pies y las manos fueran las de una marioneta controlada por unos hilos invisibles. Sabes que no hay donde huir, no existe ningún lugar totalmente seguro, pero debes sobrevivir esta noche, a cualquier precio. Puedes sentir sus zarpas arañándote a través de la carne, en tu espina dorsal. Sus risas se meten en tu cerebro, y tu miedo se transforma en algo diferente, irracional, como un animal salvaje atrapado en una jaula.

Cuando ya se han ido, vuelve el silencio sepulcral. Es el silencio de tu propio corazón. Te quedas sentado, inerte, esperando un sonido que nunca volverá. Hasta que rasguen el silencio con sus gritos, una vez más. Y vuelvas a morir en vida, una vez tras otra, para el resto de la eternidad.

I feel like I can submerge in every each piece, they all seem to have deep emotions out onto them…

Thanks a lot, I'm glad that the pieces brought you some feelings. I have put my feelings in the prompting process but the AI does more or less what it wants. What's magic is just that the AI usually makes something that fits with the feelings you put in, adding richness from itself. Like expanding whatever you put in at the beginning.

Regards and take this slice of !PIZZA, is yours!

@kitzune! I sent you a slice of $PIZZA on behalf of @jotakrevs.

Did you know you can now buy Rising Star packs with $PIZZA? (5/10)

Sound like an interesting process, I’ll definitely gonna search more about it ☺️

Yeah, it is very interesting and funny (:

Hive Power Up Month - Feedback from Day 7
Feedback from the September 1st Hive Power Up Day

This one turned out super cool all the way around! Thanks for sharing. =)

I'm glad you liked it! I was only getting crappy outputs for the last 3 days, and suddenly it gave me this nice stuff haha... you know how whimsical is this AI hehe

Regards and !PIZZA!

I am starting to find out... hahaha I am still looking for a notebook that has the cell for animating the outcome where it zooms and rotates. I found one but i think it wants you to use dropbox or something and the code didn't work for me... anyways, i found a bypass of sorts to get longer running video outputs.

If i run the prompt cycle once... i make a video of the end result. I save the last image of the run... and use that png as the initial start for the second run. I just did it yesterday for the first time and it works well. I had three mp4s that i spliced together in a video editor and made one longer video out of the three. It saves time on the iterations and it can be tweeked slightly along the way from prompt to prompt.

Thanks for the Pizza dude!

Well, I was fixing the notebook with extra video features... many stuff was not working, and the sources to download the models needs to be replaced, as they are down often. But got distracted with another stuff and real life.

About get longer videos, what was your problem? videos got shorter than should? If is that, in the code of the video cell, you can set the maximum length of the video, in seconds.

I'll try to get that notebook fixed and share it with you... but at the moment I'm trying to understand another notebook that gives far better results... but it gives me the same result for the same prompt... always, it doesn't matter how many times I run the stuff again and again. Also it has tons of custom code... I don't understand a shit lol

That's funny/not-funny... hahhaa. I don't understand shit either. I should probably study up on some python basics just to understand the errors while i am waiting on the iterations.

The videos weren't shorter... i just didn't want to wait or use up my gpu time on the free one. Since i am out of my home country i can't set up the extra google accounts.

No pressure or rush on getting the notebook fixed. Feel free to share any notebooks anytime though. I don't know enough to be helpful yet but any and all sharing is caring. =) Take care of real life first and deal with the extra (ai) curricular when it suits you.

Oh ok so the problem with the videos wasn't it's length. I have that problem at beginning until found where to change the settings.

And yeah, no pressure. At the moment I feel more interested on improve the overall quality of the images, rather than the extra video options. That's why have spent the time in this notebook that I have found, and have put the video one in pause.

See, I have made another demon... with the notebook I'm talking about. The improvement in the fine detail and a more organic looking is pretty nice. But that's all, is gonna make the same image again and again... with little changes, but let's say that almost everything gonna be the same.

This is the notebook that I'm talking about: MSE Regularized

I think that @nikv and @dbddv01 might be interested in take a look at it, as well.


Update: Oh ok, I'm a moron. I'm getting always the same image because the seed is the same, each time. Here you have to change it manually, in the "Args" cell, unlike other notebooks where it is generated randomly. Mystery solved, have fun!

Thank you @jotakrevs!
Lol I had fun finding where to change that. It's not a very human friendly interface, thank god I can read code and I'm testing it now

I think that -1 is to randomize the seed generation process. =)

Damn, no burro emojis :( Thanks for the pizza

Oops, hope they will include them in the next HF lol

I just use the emojis the windows keyboard supplies

great work! @tipu curate

Thanks for you comment and the curation. Take this !PIZZA, is yours!

Did you know Pizzabot in Discord has a bunch of useful commands? (3/10)

WHOOAAAAAA these are beautiful demons.
Lovely prose.
Now I need to go put on a sweater. And my garlic necklace.

Hahaha yes, garlic and try to get some holy water if you can :p

I'm glad you liked my post, regards and take this slice of veggie !PIZZA!

Hauntingly beautiful. I love the various scenes incorporating certain elements of each. The colors are dynamic.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks to you for your kind comment. I'm glad you liked the images. The AI tend to give outputs that have common elements, for a similar prompt so yeah... everything looks harmonious hehe

I have to get a handle on that program - just noodled around so far. Most stuff I see on VQGAN+CLIP is pretty poor. You seem to have mastered how to use that AI.
The look of it echoes Beksinski.

Mastered would be saying too much... I think is the AI who mastered how to fool me hehe. Jokes apart, everything is about to feed the machine properly. Poor results comes from non sensical requests. if I ask for a very detailed painting of a Ferrari car, by Picasso.. as he never painted such thing, and his style is not detailed, not even realist... 99% of times, the output of the AI gonna be poor. At end it is about use the common sense, and understand how the AI works.

You can start with the original VQGAN Notebook, although sadly, it is in Spanish language. There are more complex notebooks around, feel free to ask me for them and resources about this topic.

Here the original notebook: VQGAN+CLIP

And yeah, you got me haha. Zdzislaw Beksinski, is one of the main ingredients that I have I used for this recipe. It seems that adding Caravaggio to him, gave to the result more "volume"... I don't know if it is the proper word to define what I mean, at end I'm not an artist.

Thanks a lot for your comment, and grab this slice of !PIZZA too!
