I've decided to make my Midjourney account public. 🖤 midjourney.com/@ciguleva?tab… Wander through the archive, borrow any style that speaks to you, and use the images freely. Midjourney has given me so much joy and taught me more than I ever expected. If my work can spark something in you or help you on your own creative path, that would truly make my day. I'm also opening up mjpro(dot)ai completely, for free. To my early subscribers: thank you! You believed in this from the very beginning, and you won't be charged again. If you ever have questions, have concernes or just want to say hi, my inbox is always open. Happy creating ✨

“AI will kill design.” Are you kidding me? It’s a renaissance. Can you see the two powerful directions it’s opening up? One where craft is valued more than ever. And another where creative mediums blend together. People literally design with code. They create visuals from words, make pixels dance, and use music to drive animation. They turn images into code, code into videos, and thoughts into tools.

Design Twitter has built so many tools to recreate this effect. One of the best I found: apple-music-effect.transitiv…

Who’s working on the @NotionHQ AI Marketplace? Are you still accepting new connectors? I followed the link to the new developer portal, but couldn’t find a form to submit a connector. Could someone point me in the right direction? I’d really appreciate the help!

Most days it feels like I'm not moving at all. Then I look back at a year and somehow a lot got done. I do retros often, for myself, my work, my life in general, and that's the pattern every time. Progress is invisible up close. It only shows up over long stretches, hidden in tiny moves. The trick that works for me is splitting the work by energy level. When I'm in a good mood with a full tank, I think. I figure out what matters long term, break it into small actions, and put them on a schedule. When I'm running low, I don't think. I just do the small things I already wrote down. That's surprisingly easy, because the expensive part, the thinking, is already done. And one more thing. Shit happens, mood drops, that's normal. What matters is how fast I recover and get back to it. The shorter that gap, the better everything else goes.

Because of tool limitations, I used to feel like that last 20% was always out of reach. I could get close, but I couldn’t quite create what I had in mind. With AI, I feel like I can create and learn anything. It’s a matter of time, priorities, and focus.

random thought: the desire to learn (compress information and generate new knowledge) is the biggest difference between living and non-living things. when the universe generate environments where learnable patterns exist and there's a reward for learning them, life begins.

Just set up a Grok bot to create coloring pages every morning and print two versions at 6:30 a.m., one for each kid. It’s connected to our printer, so everything will be ready when we wake up. We won’t know what it picked until we see the pages. A little surprise for the kids every morning 🥹

I asked Grok Bot, ChatGPT Dot, and Muse to join my livestream. Only Grok managed to join and use the private chat to help as a backstage co-producer. Interesting...
