REVIEW: 30 MINUTES IN MIDJOURNEY’S “ROOMS”

Soooo…Midjourney released this new “rooms” feature.

It’s kinda chaotic…but it’s kinda awesome.

If you missed it…here’s the FULL POST.

I’M A FAN:

This might not be everyone’s cup of tea…but I had a great time.

What started as a harmless “C3PO dancing in a club” ended in Chewbacca taking a bath with Mary Tyler Moore…Yes, it got weird.

Regardless, it was fun.

What’s Cool:

You get to see how other people prompt…and you get to riff and remix off other people’s stuff.

It’s great to pick up different tokens and styles.

It’s also “interesting” to chat with random people across the world…anonymously…

Like I said…it got weird.

The Chat

What’s Not Cool:

You have to dive in head first to make it an experience…and it’s reliant on who’s in the channel.

If you have people that want to riff and build a concept…it’s fun.

If you have people generating in a vacuum it feels pointless.

Overall:

It is what you make of it…I like the concept. (and I will continue using it for inspiration).

When they release “Private Rooms” and we can all generate together…then we’ll party.

Chewy + C3PO Totally Faded

FILM STOCK TOKENS:

Film stocks/film types can juice your image output.

Oftentimes, it gives your images a more vintage look…but the outputs stray from Midjourney’s default.

I’m going to do a larger piece on it this week (stay tuned).

Prompt Strucutre: [shot type], documentary photo, [subject + action], [film stock] --parameters

Prompt: low angle, documentary photo, man riding a motorcycle on a Bali jungle road, [film stock] --ar 3:2 --stylize 200

FILM STOCK TOKENS

Film Stocks to Try:

  1. Rollei Nightbird 400: Blue-toned low-light

  2. J&C Phantastic Fantome X-Pro: Insane color shifts

  3. Fuji Velvia 50: Vibrant landscape/nature hues

  4. Street Candy XT100: Saturated candy-tones

  5. Tasma Foto PerutzColor 200: Funky retrograde Soviet colors

  6. FILM Ferrania Solaris FG Plus 200: Glowing ethereal color slide

Have fun with these…and we’ll go deeper this week.

APPLE’S AI PLAY:

It was only a matter of time…but Apple has entered the chat.

Here’s a quick vid Apple’s OpenELM.

Apple OpenELM

Apple dropped OpenELM…an open-source AI that's apparently very accurate.

I wasn’t expecting them to jump into the open-source game…but here we are.

Check it out on GITHUB + Hugging Face.

What it Means for Apple:

  • It’s a major shift for Apple.

  • Opens the door for outside developers to build on Apple's tech.

  • Possibly changing the “security” game for Ai.

  • Definitely builds some goodwill with the AI community by open-sourcing this

What It Means For Consumers (This is just a guess):

  • Better local AI for Apple hardware.

  • Siri might not suck anymore lol.

  • Apps that learn and customize themselves to your needs.

  • Energy efficient Ai that doesn't hog battery or require cloud services.

  • You know they’ll take privacy seriously.

  • Sync’ed AI across all your Apple products

Going to be honest…it’s cool…but a little scary considering how much data Apple has on us (apple users).

Every email, text, phone call, photo, health data point…not to mention your browsing history…anything that’s connected to an Apple device…it will probably be able to predict your movements and your thoughts lol.

I’ll just stop there before I go too far.

MIDJOURNEY OFFICE HOURS (5/1):

Here’s what’s new from the source…
