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
AI and singularity
Grammar and syntax as a filter
Using a stream of knowledge base (be it erotic literature, postmodernism, or legal documents) through grammar and syntax filters would enable an artificial intelligence apply to generate an infinity of text combinations, it is in essence what the megahal project is doing, using the previous dialogs as a database for further conversations.Here is an example of automatic generated text (with the link below)
'Do you have anything in mind? ,' he whispers, his voice low, and dark desire unfolds throughout my body as everything in my body tightens.generator is : http://www.xwray.com/fiftyshades?id=2341
'Okay,' I breathe .
'Good,' he growls, his breathing harsh.
'Don't make me wait,' I whisper.
He runs his nose along my jaw, and I'm quaking like a leaf. His mouth is on mine, tasting, exploring. He plants a soft wet kiss on my lips, and a pulse of warmth pools inside me. He plants a soft kiss on my lips, his eyes glowing with lust, raising uncontrollable urges in me. His hand tightens around my hair at my nape, pulling my head back as we kiss. My subconscious glares at me.
Another interesting generator for post-modernism article : http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo
But as always, the catch is that the AI doesn't have a clue of what make sense or not -- that's why singularity scenario where robots or AI are taking over the world are completely idiotic and unrealistic.

tsu.co the future of social media?
Like i wrote previously - I would never joined facebook ; but recently I've been invited to tsu.co and I created an account at https://www.tsu.co/alashazam
Account creation is easy
The good thing is you can change everything if you made a mistakefirst name, lastname, even the url (what tsu call "username") can be changed.
what you can do on tsu - is post images (they are protected against copy - but not against screen capture obviously)
post texts, currently you can't post video - but you can put youtube links. Then you can share what other people are posting, comment and like their posts.
You can send messages, you can use hashtags, or mention someone in a post using @ and their username.
All that is the ABC of social media - facebook, ello, diaspora, tumblr are doing the same.
Now where tsu.co is a big game changer is that he rewards users to post, and stay on the site by sharing the advertising money with their users.
Game Changer
The question is then raised -why isn't tsu.co not draining all social media users ?- and the answer is probably because not many people are aware of informed about tsu.coFor people addicted to social media - being paid to post, share, like and interact with friend is like a dream come true.
but I guess, for other people the resistance to switch to tsu.co is simply because their friends are not there but stays on mainly facebook.
Money, money, money
Back in October 2014 - for the early adopters money was pretty good - making 0.10$ on the first day wasn't uncommon - now it is more like 0.01$ - but as all passive income, the amount isn't important - what is important is the regularity of the flow.Many people are just starting to understand the potential - but since everyone is collecting small sums donation to charities are possible, donation between users too - and in the future maybe paying artists for services or commission.
Time will tell how tsu.co will evolve, I hope it will attract many celebrities, writers, artists, musicians, freelance (content creator) and will allow them to gain visibility and money.
It has potential to attract people from fiverr, or other low income freelance services, and even from from paypal (when the money to be transferred doesn't exceed 100$) - Letting other social media like facebook for family or close friends interaction.
Fundamentally what is the benefit of having 1 millions likes or followers if a celebrity on facebook doesn't make any money out of it?
Some facebook power-users have found that putting a gofund.me link is a lucrative way to earn money - as a rule of thumb, for every genuine 10,000 likes a page can make a sell.Maybe this sell come from poster print, etsy shop, zazzle links or donation - on tsu.co all this merchandising is possible but with the addition of redistributed advertising money as a regular income.
Now as for tsu.co power user you can check the "discover user section" and you will undoubtedly see the real King of Morocco - that sets a precedent.
If you are looking for an invitation link - here's mine I'd be glad to be your parent

Tumblr backup solution
How to backup your tumblr
As of today there are several solutions provided to backup a tumblr account - but either you need to sign up, pay and then download an application, or install browser add-ons and then you will have a lot of html files (e.g: http://boutofcontext.com/tumblr_backup.php) - and it isn't really dynamic - you will have to backup it up from times to times, but there is a better way ...A smart way to backup your tumblr with soup.io
In a previous post I was mentioning soup.io as a micro-blogging platform - there is actually a way to mirror your tumblr into a soup.io - and here's how :
Create a soup.io account - then go into Automatic imports and put your tumblr name.
Then press add and wait - this could take a long time, so don't close the tab, or interrupt the process, otherwise you will have duplicates post all over the place.
More than backup a synchronization
It just works!Check for yourself :
