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 bookmark that
12:14 actually if you weren't here last night

13:59 let's see where did where did they add
14:01 that new projects
14:04 projects am I logged
14:08 in what's going on here
14:12 turbo 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

18:20 turn any one of these
18:22 into a
18:28 movie

18:38 that's doing that down there um now I
18:41 can
18:42 also you can upload a reference person
18:46 so I'm wondering if I can put a

21:17 will come in and do that but if you've
21:20 got something you want to specifically

23:37 in here and start playing you don't have
23:40 to say anything just come in here and if
