Yesterday's music attempt went reasonably well.

It's another slower-paced track, and the video's ultimately going to be cloudy nebula stuff again, but .. Hey, whatever, at least it's an ALChoon..

I seem to be saying that a lot, lately. Settling on things that are mundane and generic.
I really do need some nice new ideas.
Unfortunately, I think I've already stretched BingChat to its very limits.

Last week, trying to come up with N.N. game titles, it seemed to get stuck on the words Noodle and Ninja, eventually bringing the two together to become a Noodle Ninja, which I though could be a nice name for a game, until I googled it and got a bazillion results.
No matter the resets and retries, and even conversing with it to try and get it to come up with different ideas, it just plain got stuck on the idea of a Noodle Ninja.
Hmmm..

This week it's obsessed with the word "Oddity", I guess because I keep asking it to come up with surreal game ideas.
Maybe I should rethink how I'm wording these requests?

Meanwhile..

Fed Greenie through another round of Stable Diffusion training, and I've ended up with a whole new style of Greenie.
The engine now appears to like drawing him with cyan pants to match his jacket, and is chopping his tie off to become a neck scarf/snood.

The latest round of training was done using the newer LoRA methodology, which I found on this page.
It's certainly not the easiest methodology to follow, and took a number of goes before it would kick off doing what it was meant to, but the end result is..
... Different..?

On the plus side, the new LoRA methodology results in a much smaller download.
The new derek.safetensors file is only 151Mb, which is a heck of a lot smaller than the .ckpt training files that were over 2Gb each!!!

Another advantage is that, because I still have the .ckpt version installed, I can set Draw Things to use the Derek_k Stable Diffusion Model, and then add the LoRA model on top of it, to create a really cool double-blend of Greenie.
This can result in some really nice Greenie pics, and.. I think those will probably be the settings I use going forward.
