Future Diary – May 15th 2100

May 15th, 2100

“I feel strange today. It’s been a week since I got my new neural implant, and I’m still adjusting to it. The doctors said that it would enhance my memory and cognitive abilities, but I didn’t expect it to feel so… foreign. It’s like there’s a constant buzzing in my head, and I can’t seem to focus on anything for too long without feeling overwhelmed.

I worry about what this means for the future. If we keep augmenting ourselves with technology, what will happen to our humanity? Will we become machines, devoid of emotion and empathy? I fear that we’re losing touch with what it means to be human, and that we’re creating a future that’s even more bleak than the one we’re living in now.

But then I remember why I got the implant in the first place. I wanted to be better, faster, smarter. I wanted to keep up with the demands of a world that’s changing faster than I can keep up with. And maybe, just maybe, this is the price I have to pay. But I’ll keep writing in this diary, to remind myself of who I am, and where I came from. To remind myself that even in this strange new world, there’s still hope for a brighter future.”

On the radio today:

Stable Diffusion – “Cat girl” in the City Vol.1

Stable diffusion art generation experiment pack. This time – “selfies in a city”. Later, I added “futuristic city” and “cyberpunk vibes”.

So, what is a “cat girl” ?

A cat girl, in mythology, refers to a female character who possesses feline characteristics or traits. This can include physical features such as cat ears, whiskers, and a tail, as well as behaviors and abilities such as agility, sharp senses, and an independent streak.

In some cultures, cat girls are seen as mystical and revered beings, often associated with magic, sensuality, and the supernatural. In other cultures, they may be portrayed as cunning and mischievous creatures, using their feline attributes for mischief or ill-intent.

Examples of cat girls in mythology can be found in various cultures, including ancient Egyptian mythology (where the goddess Bastet was depicted as a cat-headed woman), Japanese folklore (where the cat spirit or “neko” is often female), and Hindu mythology (where the goddess Durga is sometimes depicted with a cat or lion as her mount).

In modern pop culture, cat girls have become a staple in anime, manga, and video games, often portrayed as cute, flirtatious, and sometimes sinister characters.

Stable Diffusion – Oil Painting Vol.1

Experimenting on nice oil paints generated art. Let me know if you need help for your project. I’ve been experimenting with some prompts and understanding what it takes to make very impressive art.

Prompt – “seed: 918873146, Professional, oil painting of establishing shot of canal surrounded by verdant blue modern curved rustic Greek-tiled-building”

So, what IS “Stable diffusion”

Stable Diffusion is a process in Artificial Intelligence (AI) where a model’s parameters are updated gradually over time in response to incoming data. This approach is used to avoid the issue of overfitting, where a model becomes too closely tied to the training data and therefore fails to generalize well to new, unseen data.

By allowing the model’s parameters to change slowly, Stable Diffusion helps to ensure that the model’s updates are well-behaved and don’t cause rapid fluctuations in its behavior.

Stable Diffusion is used in a variety of applications, including recommendation systems, natural language processing, computer vision, and reinforcement learning. In recommendation systems, for example, Stable Diffusion is used to adjust the parameters of a model over time in response to user feedback, so that it can continuously improve its recommendations based on the evolving preferences of users.

In natural language processing, Stable Diffusion is used to train models that can process and understand human language, by gradually adjusting the model’s parameters in response to incoming text data.

Generate art with Machine Learning Algorithms

“Generate Magic the Gathering Card Art with StyleGAN”. So, you can teach an “AI robot” (“Machine learning”) to help you generate an art based on what you teach it. The more quality input you have, the better the results are 😉.

If you have an idea about a project, let me know at hello@matichek.com 😀

First example I played around is Magic The Gathering cards.
