0:23 all right I'm back so so Tik Tok has 0:27 this new thing where like if I'm doing 0:29 something like I'm doing now like 0:31 looking at the looking not at Tik Tok 0:34 they they pop up this thing that I have 0:36 to move a puzzle 0:38 piece 0:47 and oh you know where this I can get 0:49 this I'm such a dumb dumb you're like K 0:52 why don't you just go to this the mid 0:54 Journey Discord I'm like Ah that's a 0:56 good 0:57 idea all right um and then go to I think 1:01 it's an announcements where they did 1:05 srf versioning let's 1:10 see 1:12 sref here we go how do I use it again to 1:15 use a style 1:17 reference the style weight that wait to 1:21 influence to increase the influence of 1:23 the style apply a style weight that is 1:25 closer to a 1:27 thousand to diminish the style make it 1:30 CL closer to zero the default is 100 you 1:33 can add multiple style references as 1:37 well that's interesting how do how do 1:40 you weight them I think you weight them 1:42 like a 1:46 colon 1:48 okay so a thousand makes it more like 1:51 the style okay got it all right we could 1:54 have just figured this [ __ ] out but 1:56 whatever 1:58 okay so 2:03 if I do 2:06 this all right so so here's an 2:11 image that I made actually let's let's 2:13 find a good image because some of these 2:20 suck that one's kind of cool all right 2:23 let's take that image so now over 2:26 here the way this works in the web is 2:31 you've got a lot of the stuff that oh in 2:35 um a lot of the stuff that in Discord 2:38 was below the image is over here to the 2:40 right so you can vary it so you can get 2:43 variations of this you can upscale it or 2:45 you can remix it so I'm going to hit 2:49 remix and then what that does is it puts 2:53 this here so so this is the this 2:57 image so we're going to remix it with 2:59 the same promp 3:01 but now I'm going to 3:10 add one of these 3:17 images let's do that one since it's 3:19 super colorful and that other thing's 3:21 not so I'm going to open that and then 3:24 when you open the image so so it now 3:26 ends up in your little Library here but 3:29 you could you can either do it as a um 3:32 use the image itself as a prompt so one 3:35 thing I could do is I could mix these 3:36 two images which is that's what that 3:39 icon is the middle one is style ref so 3:43 this is just going to take the style of 3:45 this and apply it to the new 3:50 image right 3:52 yeah and then I'm going to 3:56 do dash dash s for style weight and I'll 4:02 do 4:03 800 cuz closer to 1,000 will make it 4:06 more like this so we'll do 800 so let's 4:09 see what this 4:11 does 4:12 failed cannot use CW without a CF oh 4:18 [Music] 4:23 okay remix so we're going to get rid of 4:25 that seed oh so I got it okay we'll make 4:30 that that a style ref of 4:34 800 and then that's going to be a remix 4:37 this we're going to get rid of we're 4:38 going to 4:40 add our 4:42 little lady in the colorful 4:45 dress this should 4:47 work 4:49 no character 4:54 weight 4:59 what 5:11 [Music] 5:17 I don't know what I'm 5:20 [Laughter] 5:24 doing all right we got that we're going 5:27 to go Dash Dash s 5:36 sw800 okay now I think it went 5:42 right yes wait yes 5:47 okay so in 5:49 theory we're taking the black and white 5:52 photo and then we're going to stick the 5:54 style 5:56 of that other photo on it and it looks 5:58 like it absolutely did did not do 6:04 that all right well that was fun while 6:08 it 6:10 lasted so here's what we're going to do 6:12 we're going to go 6:15 um what did I say before um 6:19 photo of a cute 6:24 puppy and then we're going to pop that 6:26 image in there we're going to turn it 6:28 into a style ref yeah style ref s ref 6:32 and then we're going to go Das Dash 6:34 style weight 6:37 1,000 all right let's try 6:39 that now we should get we should 6:44 get a cute puppy that looks like that 6:47 colorful piece of 6:49 art you forgot to reference the image 6:54 URL did I no I didn't no because you 6:57 don't reference the URL in the in the 7:00 web version you just tag 7:05 it is this going to be in the 7:07 neighborhood this doesn't look like it I 7:09 said 7:10 photo that could be an 7:16 issue this is this is what it's supposed 7:19 to be looking 7:22 like so are we 7:29 close 7:40 so you have to use commands in 7:42 Alpha what's the big diff well you Cam 7:46 you don't there there's some commands 7:48 you do not have to use there's other 7:50 commands you do have to use and you can 7:52 use any commands any commands that you 7:55 used in Discord you can use in the alpha 7:59 but like you can just upload an image 8:02 and click on it and and say I want to 8:03 use this as a character ref or or style 8:08 ref I clearly not doing this right let 8:10 me try this again um 8:13 photo I wonder if that image is [ __ ] 8:16 up for some reason photo of a 8:22 cute 8:24 puppy let me grab a completely different 8:27 this is the Japanese wave we'll do that 8:30 and I'm not going to do any style 8:32 waiting whatsoever let's just see how it 8:35 does it as a as a 8:38 generic style cuz that didn't come close 8:42 like those are not close those are not 8:45 close they're kind of cool like that 8:48 one's kind of 8:49 cool but it's not what we were looking 8:54 for yeah that does not look 8:58 right 9:01 what am I doing wrong here people I said 9:05 a waiting of 8,000 no it I don't think 9:07 so it would it shouldn't have let me do 9:10 an 8,000 I did 1,000 I 9:13 thought uh did I do 9:15 8,000 no I did style waiting of a th000 9:18 see th000 right 9:26 there this doesn't look right this 9:28 doesn't look good 9:52 it's slow tonight 9:56 too yeah no it didn't do it at all 10:02 [Music] 10:05 um all right so that was 10:13 fun 10:15 Losa Losa I thought it would be fun 10:18 because the character reference thing 10:19 worked really good the style reference I 10:21 don't know why it's not working so I'll 10:23 figure it out we'll come back I I won't 10:26 put you through the torture of me trying 10:27 to figure that [ __ ] out in real time 10:29 like well any more than I already 10:32 did woo that was 10:36 fun 10:38 huh all right let's do something 10:41 entertaining now like I don't 10:43 know ask me a question I I know 10:46 something 10:48 about I [ __ ] volunteered that one 10:50 here I'll show you how to do something 10:53 let me just have another 10:57 drink get out of my classroom you shitty 11:05 kids cheers I don't have any Whiskey in 11:08 the 11:15 coffee 11:22 ah yeah I know Vicky I thought I thought 11:24 I got timed out by Tik Tock too 11:27 but if if I missed the little puzzle 11:30 piece I don't think you see the puzzle 11:31 piece it pops up for me and it's like 11:32 you got to drag the little puzzle piece 11:34 over and if I'm looking at the computer 11:36 and I miss it out of my peripheral 11:37 vision that I'm 11:45 screwed can we try Deco here we can try 11:48 it I again I'm not super good with it 11:52 but I can I can go there and try to 11:54 figure some [ __ ] out on the 11:56 Fly I just shared a GPT T Global art 12:01 prompter on salon and gpts lots of style 12:04 ideas oh 12:06 cool that's super cool I want to go 12:08

upscale now cost the same as a 14:16 video to generate all right I don't know 14:19 how to get 14:21 there okay the way Deco here works 14:26 is you can't you can't really see it but 14:29 back here here is an image and then 14:31 here's an image and then to the right is 14:33 an image and this is using a thing 14:35 called stable diffusion XL 14:39 sdxl 14:40 turbo and what sdxl turbo does is it 14:46 um in real time as you're typing your 14:51 prompt it oh I I know where I was going 14:53 to go he's going to go look at Silver 14:54 Fox's 14:56 GPT all right where did you put that 14:59

right Global art prompter 15:39 nice suggesting Artistic Styles for 15:42 image generation great I have an idea 15:44 but I need a style tell me what styles 15:46 are currently trending oh that's kind of 15:51 [Music] 15:55 cool and is are we going what are we 15:58 doing oh they've got a new icon 16:01 here it's just 16:08 pulsing the art world's 16:12 embracing here's a 16:16 summary political

whatever listen I here's the deal 21:09 like this AI 21:11 stuff there's a lot of fear there's a 21:13 lot of anger about it and so if I'm in 21:15 here talking about it sometimes people 21:17 will come in and do that but if you've 21:20 got something you want to specifically 21:21 talk about I'm happy to talk about 21:27 it no that's fine 21:29 C it's fine I don't give a 21:36 [ __ ] listen I'm

I I'm I am 23:27 just the I'm just the Target because 23:29 they're afraid of AI just rather than 23:32 putting all that energy into pissing on 23:35 me or pissing on the community just come 23:37 in here and start playing you don't have 23:40 to say anything just come in here and if 23:43 I'm playing with something in GPT just 23:45 go do that just go play and then you 23:48 know you'll figure it
