actually insane you have this domain that's amazing

Thanks! We got lucky!

well done! :clap:

it would be super cool if there were a way for users to create their own SVGs using your flow -- these look great!

i was just playing around with SVGs yesterday and was wishing there were an easy-to-use tool out there for fiddling around. i couldn't get chatgpt 4.5 to get it quite right and ultimately abandoned it in favor of something premade

Different platform but you can do that with this: https://replicate.com/recraft-ai/recraft-v3-svg (or on Recraft itself.)

Cool I’ll try it out. Thanks

On the contrary, I was able to get GPT to generate the logo for my website[0] in about an hour of trial and error, here's some tips:

* Give it an SVG to start with, and tell it what you want to make

* With each successive prompt, tell it to adjust only one thing

* If it ever goes backwards instead of forwards, edit your previous prompt instead of telling it to correct

* Test the SVG render outside of ChatGPT's window, since it doesn't show the bounding box or all colors properly

honestly the issue was not that it couldn't produce an SVG

it's that it wasn't good and i couldn't get it to really match my style

i feel like the midjourney flow has more potential because of your very first point -- starting with an SVG

Thanks! I know it's controversial but it has taught me a lot about building with AI, as well as the legal and copyright parts. I experimented with a number of prompt styles this was an example of one I used on Midjourney:

"Vector line art, icon of a flower, cute and minimalistic, made with bold outline, white background --stylize 400"

thanks for sharing!

it's interesting, it feels like less needing to think much bigger and more so that we're now able to accept that much bigger ideas we've been thinking about are far more feasible.

that's so cool. all those grand ideas that felt so far away are right here ready to grasp and realize.

lol words out of my mouth

yes yes yes i am going to play around with this i'm excited to try it out

even as a more tech savvy person this looks awesome

Thank you! Feel free to share your thoughts.

actually insane how small the model is. they are only going to get better AND smaller. wild times

i like this so much

"stone soup" could be seen as a trick (to get the villagers to provide that which they were previously unwilling), but i like that it's multiple different villagers who provide individual ingredients -- it's the coming together of everyone and their individual contributions that ultimately makes the soup so good

My take on "Stone Soup" is that it was written as an allegory for cooperation, as well as, perhaps, a guide to how to induce it in the face of reluctance.

Of course, intent and outcome can differ, and Gopnik takes the piece to a new place. But then, that's also in the spirit of the original as I read it (individual ingredients creating a greater whole).

And of course, as with all metaphor and allegory, there are limits to the comparison. But utility as well, and the point that AI LLMs require significant additions on top of the LLM-trained stones bears pointing out.

I first read this story in the back of the manual for a DOS program called Fractint in the very early '90s. It was a super-fast fractal generator made by a collective called the Stone Soup Group. It's still around but the SSG disappeared years ago.

The story stuck with me, I told it to my kids only a few weeks ago.

the fact that the failure modes come from limitations of the robotic hands is super interesting
