Storyteller Tactics card deck.
It is a deck of 54 cards that can be used to help you build better stories.
The cards are divided into three suits: Setting, Character, and Plot.
Each suit has 18 cards, each with a different keyword or phrase on it.
- The Setting cards can be used to help you create a more vivid and believable setting for your story.
- The Character cards can be used to help you develop your characters more fully.
- And the Plot cards can be used to help you create a more suspenseful and exciting plot.
To use the Storyteller Tactics card deck, simply draw a card from each suit. The cards you draw will give you some ideas for how to improve your story. For example, if you draw the "Dark Forest" Setting card, you might decide to set your story in a dark and mysterious forest. Or, if you draw the "Stoic" Character card, you might decide to make one of your characters a stoic and unemotional person.
The Storyteller Tactics card deck is a great way to get your creative juices flowing and to help you build better stories. If you are a writer or storyteller, I highly recommend checking it out.

Spirituality 101
Something a little different today on this blog 'How to raise our vibration'
The concept of vibration is often used in the context of spirituality and personal development. It is believed that each person has a unique vibration, which is affected by their thoughts, emotions, and actions. A high vibration is associated with positive qualities such as love, joy, and peace, while a low vibration is associated with negative qualities such as anger, fear, and sadness.
There are many things that a person can do to raise their vibration. Here are a few tips:
- Practice gratitude: Gratitude is a powerful emotion that can help to raise your vibration. Take some time each day to focus on the things you are grateful for, big or small.
- Spend time in nature: Nature has a calming and restorative effect on the mind and body. Go for a walk in the park, hike in the woods, or sit by the ocean.
- Meditate: Meditation can help you to quiet your mind and focus on the present moment. There are many different types of meditation, so find one that works for you.
- Do yoga: Yoga is a great way to connect with your body and mind. It can also help to improve your flexibility and strength.
- Eat healthy foods: Eating healthy foods can give you more energy and improve your overall well-being. Choose foods that are high in nutrients and low in processed foods.
- Get enough sleep: Sleep is essential for physical and mental health. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night.
- Spend time with positive people: The people you spend time with can have a big impact on your vibration. Surround yourself with people who are supportive and uplifting.
- Let go of negative thoughts and emotions: Holding on to negative thoughts and emotions can lower your vibration. Forgive yourself and others, and let go of anything that is no longer serving you.
Raising your vibration is a journey, not a destination. It takes time and effort, but it is worth it. When you raise your vibration, you will experience more joy, peace, and love in your life.

Reviewing Leonardo.ai
App.leonardo.ai is an innovative Image content generation process assisted by a powerful artificial intelligence (AI) offering a wide range of features and capabilities.
The interface is modern, very much inspired by discord in the Web 3.0 style
In terms of performance, app.leonardo.ai delivers impressive results. For people not able to run SD at home, Leonardo is a good way to access several good quality models such as SDXL, RPG4, RealisticVision, Dreamshaper, etc ...
To access Leonardo.Ai, you can simply sign up by visiting their landing page and clicking on the ‘Create an account‘ or ‘Start using Leonardo‘ button.
If this is your first time signing up, enter your first name and email and click the ‘Count me in’ button to be added to the early access waiting list.
However, if you’ve already been granted access, you can click the ‘Yes, I’m whitelisted’ button which will take you to the web-app login.
Generating images will cost tokens (and the daily amount is 150) by tweaking the settings generating can cost as low as 1 token (disabling Prompt Magic, and Alchemy) otherwise a generation can cost 16 token, on a free plan all generated images will be made public.
An access to the community pages will list all generated images and if one catch your eyes it can be used as a base for a remix, or img2img ; other options such as 'remove background' or 'upscale' are also available.
Here is an example of a generated image:
with this settings:
Full body Portrait of Beautiful toned Megan Fox, high quality illustration in post apocalyptic , muscular, messy hair, award winning photo shoot
and model 'Dreamshaper v7'
AI Garbage generated show
AI is still learning how to understand and generate humor, and it often doesn't get it right.
The jokes can be forced, unnatural, or just plain unfunny.
There are a few reasons why AI-generated comedy can be so hit-or-miss.
First, AI doesn't have the same understanding of human humor as a we do.
It doesn't know what makes people laugh, and it doesn't know how to build on existing jokes or comedic tropes.
Second, AI is often trained on a very limited dataset of text and code.
This means that it's only exposed to a narrow range of humor, and it doesn't have the ability to generate new and original jokes.
Finally, AI is still under development, and it's constantly learning and improving. This means that the quality of AI-generated comedy is constantly changing, and it's possible that it will eventually get better.
However, for now, AI-generated comedy is still a work in progress. If you're looking for a good laugh, you're probably better off watching a comedy show that was written by humans.
And wait there's more
AI has been around for about less than a year, though
Feels like these shows are like elevator music, endless generated content, it is like watching the 10,000 monkeys typing on their typewriters, and waiting for a good sentence.
What I got from the show : AI will please the lazy, and will take the responsibilities off us when doing mistakes, and because of the law of diminishing returns, what the AI are going to produce is always going to be of less quality compared to what we can write, imagine or produce.
Png extracting workflow for ComfyUI (Better version )
requires PIL
so maybe do a
$pip install PIL
beforehand
import argparse
import PIL.Image
import PIL.PngImagePlugin
def extract_text(filename):
"""Extracts text from a PNG file."""
img = PIL.Image.open(filename)
info = img.text["workflow"]
return info
## usage python readpng.py ~/Downloads/example.png > comfy_workflow.json
def main():
"""Parses arguments and extracts text from a PNG file."""
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Extracts text from a PNG file.")
parser.add_argument("filename", help="The PNG file to extract text from.")
args = parser.parse_args()
text = extract_text(args.filename)
print(text)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
Extracting metadata from a png file in Python
A very simple program using PIL to extract the png text embedded as metadata by comfyUI
import PIL.Image
import argparse
def extract_text(filename):
png = PIL.Image.open(filename)
return png.text
if __name__ == "__main__":
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='png metadata infor')
parser.add_argument('filename', help='png File to check')
args = parser.parse_args()
text = extract_text(args.filename)
print(text)
Google Bard is finally there
Here are my take on the new Google AI:
Google has recently announced a new AI language model called Bard.
Bard is a factual language model from Google AI, trained on a massive dataset of text and code. It can generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way.
Beware though as it is still under development, but it has already shown great promise.
Here are some of the key features of Bard:
- Factual language model: Bard is trained on a massive dataset of text and code, which allows it to generate text that is both informative and accurate.
- Multilingual: Bard can translate between over 100 languages, which makes it a valuable tool for communication and collaboration.
- Creative: Bard can write different kinds of creative content, such as poems, code, scripts, musical pieces, email, letters, etc. This makes it a powerful tool for artists, writers, and developers.
- Intelligent: Bard is able to understand and respond to natural language queries. This makes it a valuable tool for research and learning.
- Answers can be listened to via an audio option
- Responses can be shared on reddit, linkedn, or exported into Google Docs
I believe that Bard has the potential to be a powerful tool for many different purposes. It could be used to:
- Improve communication and collaboration between people who speak different languages.
- Create new and innovative ways to learn and educate.
- Generate creative content that is both informative and engaging.
- Answer your questions in an informative way, even if they are open ended, challenging, or strange.
I am excited to see how Bard develops in the future.
Happy Accidents saves the day (again)!
Playing with 'Happy Accident '
for the prompt and details (model, lora, etc ...)
Converting photo into anime shot
Stable diffusion can be used as generative engine starting from a prompt, but it can also be used as a filter of sort, adding a photo of Jenna Lynn Meowri as input and setting a filter as a Lora can give pretty fun results

The state of the AI vs classic artwork discussion
The introduction of AI technology into the artistic sphere garnered significant attention a few months ago, inciting heated debates, lawsuits, and controversies. However, the novelty of this trend appears to have diminished recently.
I can see some artists still balancing from the old ways and now including AI into their workflow
One artist in particular caught my attention, he seems to be swinging back and forth, posting drawings and then AI artwork
Here is the link to his blog blogclif.wordpress.com/
and here is the AI generated from the drawing
My current view is that he should create numerous drawings and select the best ones to evaluate their appearance in the AI artwork style.
Happy Accidents saves the day!
Since the ban of free google account using colab for generating AI artworks,
Many users have upgraded their google account, others have left, and after using free online services, they might get frustrated to not having access to text inversion and Loras/Lycoris modules.
There is a new deal as recently https://www.happyaccidents.ai/ is adding these modules for free as new features
The results are quite good:
see for yourself
iAsk.ai review
Firstly, the website has a clean and modern design that is easy to navigate.
The homepage features a search bar where users can input their queries and receive relevant results.
One of the standout features of iask.ai is its use of artificial intelligence to provide personalized recommendations based on user behavior.
This means that the more a user interacts with the website, the more accurate and relevant their search results become.
Another impressive aspect of iask.ai is its use of natural language processing (NLP) technology.
This allows users to input queries in a conversational manner, making the search process more intuitive and user-friendly.
Overall, iask.ai is a well-designed and innovative search engine that utilizes AI technology to provide personalized and relevant results.
... and on top of that it comes with a companion for correcting and improving texts

Deviantart and AI Artworks
DeviantArt is a popular online platform that allows artists and creators to share their work with a global audience.
The website has a vast collection of digital art, traditional art, photography, and other creative works, making it an excellent resource for inspiration and networking.
DeviantArt also has a strong community aspect, with groups and forums dedicated to various art styles, mediums, and interests. This allows users to connect with like-minded artists, get feedback on their work, and collaborate on projects.
Additionally, DeviantArt offers various tools and resources for artists, such as tutorials, stock images, and brushes, making it a valuable resource for both beginners and professionals.
Recently with the AI trends DeviantArt has implemented an innovative approach to AI-generated artwork. The website has a feature called "AI Generated Art" that allows users to upload artwork that has been created with the help of AI algorithms.
This includes artwork generated with neural networks, machine learning, and other AI techniques. The artwork is tagged as "AI Generated" and is given a unique copyright status, which allows artists to retain ownership of their work while acknowledging the contribution of the AI algorithms. This approach is designed to recognize the role of AI in the creative process while ensuring that artists are properly recognized and compensated for their work. It's an interesting and forward-thinking approach that highlights the potential of AI in the creative arts.
Overall, DeviantArt is a fantastic platform for artists and anyone interested in the creative arts, and is definitely worth checking out.
But there is this little trick I found quite useful, when wanting to credit an artist for a picture, after downloading an image, you will in the file name a code that can be pasted into an url shortener and get back to the place it was taken from.
for example this file 'just_a_cute_cat_in_a_red_bag_by_trumanbrown_dfjtqpo-pre'
correspond to this picture :
Like this picture
it contains this code 'dfjtqpo'
and when adding this code to the url shortener fav.me/
like so fav.me/dfjtqpo
you will be redirected to the creator's page
Pretty neat
How to get a prompt from a png file
It is sometime frustrating to see a beautiful AI generated pictures on reddit for example, and the user did not post the prompt or the detail on the model used.
With the help of this website (pngchunk.com)
you will be able to see the prompt used and all AI details (assuming the file has been made with Stable Diffusion)
