Hey fairytale fans - I made a little semantic search game from fairytale texts over my summer vacation... give it a try? It runs entirely in the browser, using a small semantic search index from Hugging Face. www.ghostweather.com/apps/fairyta...

I asked "what is a door, anyway?" after trying to generate "an open door" in a lot of midjourney styles. In my latest newsletter, along with more "door" pics. And the usual AI/games/tools news (and narrative research). arnicas.substack.com/p/titaa-705-...

Huh, it is true that an animated Midjourney video feels... different. I haven't run a test yet vs. uploading and using other tools, but one benefit is that they know the image gen prompt (unless you upload a new pic). It is pretty good at abstract/weird (the bulk of mine).
