Making desperate “efforts” to force the work I am doing now upon the public would be pretty useless - as I am concentrating on getting on.

Dutch Cycling culture’s unwritten codes are endorsed by PedalWorks.com and summarized much better in the linked essay than the trippy, whimsical graphic we prompted ChatGPT to make.

1st prompt on ChatGPT:
Create a graphic image as a header for our domain name armsworks.com that features the domain name in a prominent way and makes the point that data is the most potent ammunition in cyber warfare as well as kinetic warfare.
1st Prompt: Create a graphic image as a header for our domain name armsworks.com that features the domain name in a prominent way and makes the point that data is the most potent ammunition in cyber warfare as well as kinetic warfare. 2nd prompt: This is excellent. Tweak the image by adding a 120 mm Sabo round with a depleted uranium core being fired from an Abrams tank with armsworks.com emblazoned prominently on the tank. 3rd Prompt: Refine the image by adding greater detail to the Sabo round which demonstrates how the outer layers peel off, exposing the depleted uranium core

Graphic images created using ChatGPT for our hydrogenworks.com domain emphasizing a #CleanEnergy hydrogen production color spectrum in the style of Vincent van Gogh.
ChatGPT prompt: Create a graphic image of the hydrogen color spectrum in the style of a van Gogh painting of a natural setting that ties each natural element to the source of energy for producing hydrogen. Label the graphic image with the domain name hydrogenworks.com. ChatGPT prompt: Add yellow hydrogen sourced from nuclear cooling towers. Add the domain name “hydrogenworks.com“ in an eye popping contrasting color font. ChatGPT prompt: Feature the specific text hydrogenworks.com and add color spectrum iconography for various methods of hydrogen production

First draft of domain header for our phishinglures.com domain generated by ChatGPT.

The second draft will be as specified in the alt text for the image.
Concise creative brief or prompt you can provide to a graphic designer or another AI image generator to achieve the updated concept: Creative Brief for Website Header: 1. Title/Domain Name • Large, eye-popping font for “PhishingLures.com.” • Glowing or neon-like effect to emphasize danger and grab attention. 2. Visual Theme • Depict a group of black-hat hackers on each side, dressed in dark hoodies and wearing masks or sunglasses to maintain anonymity. • Each hacker is holding a fishing pole that extends toward the center of the image. • On the hooks or lures at the end of each line, label them clearly as: • “Phishing” • “Vishing” • “Ransomware” • “Homoglyph” • “Spoofing” 3. Background Elements • A dark, ominous background in shades of midnight blue, black, and deep red. • Possibly incorporate stylized binary code, circuit board patterns, or digital tentacles to represent cyber threats. • Show silhouettes or outlines of unsuspecting users in the background, visually indicating potential victims. 4. Mood and Color Palette • Tense, dramatic atmosphere. • Vibrant neon highlights for text and key details (like the lures or the domain name), contrasting against the dark background. • Splashes of red or bright orange to suggest danger. 5. Overall Style • Illustrative or semi-realistic style to capture the concept without looking too cartoonish. • The composition should naturally draw the eye to “PhishingLures.com” while also emphasizing the fishing poles and labeled lures. Using this description, a graphic designer or an image-generation tool can create the visual you’re envisioning for your website header. If you need further refinements or have additional ideas, feel free to let me know!

Revised graphic image created with ChatGPT for our domains westerngrid.com and easterngrid.com. Good result with the exception of the tower on the left which is still labeled “easterngrid”

The prompt that seems to have had the greatest effect was “This is ass backwards. Please make it ass forwards”
Graphic image created with ChatGPT for our domains http://westerngrid.com and http://easterngrid.com. A reasonably good color-coded effort with the exception of the tower on the left which still says eastern grid. Went through some trials and tribulations to get ChatGPT to flip http://westerngrid.com and http://easterngrid.com technology images. This is the prompt that broke through… “This is ass backwards. Please tweak so that it is ass forwards.“

Graphic image created for our Easterngrid.com and westerngrid.com domains using ChatGPT. Not terrible in concept, but it did make crisscross applesauce out of the East Coast West Coast logic.

The alt text associated with this image will be used as the prompt for the next version.
Text Prompt for the Graphic Image: “A high-contrast digital graphic that prominently features a simplified map of the United States. The image is divided vertically so that the left side (adjacent to the Pacific Coast) represents the Western Grid and the right side (adjacent to the Atlantic Coast) represents the Eastern Grid. On the Eastern (Atlantic) side, illustrate technology such as coal power plants with visible smokestacks, nuclear cooling towers, and dense overhead transmission lines. Prominently display the domain name ‘Easterngrid.com’ in a bright, bold font that pops against the background. On the Western (Pacific) side, depict hydroelectric dams, expansive solar farms, and clusters of wind turbines. Feature the domain name ‘Westerngrid.com’ using a similarly bold, contrasting color scheme. Overlay subtle energy flow lines or arrows that trace the movement of power within each grid. The overall color scheme should use darker background tones to make the bright domain names and energy icons stand out, with warm tones for the Eastern side and cooler tones for the Western side, creating a visually striking comparison.”

Failed attempt to have ChatGPT make a graphic image for our domain esquireworks.com. Originally set out to make an image for our legal group of domains (esqtv.com jdworks.com et als. Abysmal graphic art failures. Prompts are in the alt text.
These are the prompts we used to arrive at the displayed image. We consider that image to be in abysmal failure succeeded by earlier images that were even worse! First prompt: Create a whimsical graphic image featuring the domain names esqtv.com, jdworks.com, jurisworks.com, esqworks.com that displays a tug of war between whether or not “the Law is a jealous mistress”. Second prompt: Discard the previous image and replace with a graphic image that features the domain name esquireworks.com and whimsical iconography that shows the wheels of Justice grinding against authoritarian oligarchs and politicians. Third prompt: Remove the crowns. Make the wheels of justice sexy. Feature the domain name esquireworks.com in replacement of the word Justice. Make the image wider and more suitable as a webpage header.

#MWC25 looks like it may be a great event.

Inspired me to create some iconography using ChatGPT for our domain name barcelonaworks.com
These are the prompts used to generate this image which is actually cropped from a much wider cityscape. Textual responses included: 1. Create a graphic image for our domain name http://barcelonaworks.com that whimsically evokes the spirit of Barcelona, the city, where leaders of business, nations, startups and global change come together to architect the future of AI technology Here’s your graphic image for BarcelonaWorks.com, capturing the city’s iconic landmarks infused with a futuristic AI-driven atmosphere.

The first image may be used as a header for our domain name aiworks.com. It is a take on the second damage image which depicts #ArchimedesLever and Archimedes oft-quoted message “given a longer lever and a secure place to stand, I believe I can move the world.” The final image is the 1st prompt.
We used ChatGPT (thanks Sam Altman’s OpenAi and hard headedness in refusing Elon Musk’s overtures) to generate this image as a possible header for our domain name http://aiworks.com . We were going for a modern take on Archimede’s lever and the great physicists framing as to how a simple machine, the lever, can be employed to move the world, given a secure place to stand and a long enough lever. This is the best result we were able to obtain with a few tweaks. We wanted to emphasize the notion that the highest use of artificial intelligence may be to preserve human skill sets that might otherwise be lost given the onset of technology. We believe that human intelligence and Yankee ingenuity are antifragile, wherever they’re found to reside in the world. Classical engraving of Archimedes lever in action.

Graphic ai generated draft headers for our ojos.com site which we would like to develop as a Spanish/Portuñol search engine for all things ocular.
Second tweaked version of AI generated image for use on our website ojos.com. We wanted this version to include 3-D images of the small anatomical structures in the eye to give users appreciation of its complexity. We believe it fails in this regard. It also fails to capture, visual search engine, technology and the cultural importance of vision. Generated AI graphic image for use on our website ojos.com. It is a tweaked version. It is an image that is busy with optometry and ophthalmological iconography. It fails to capture an emphasis on search function. AI generated graphic image for use as a header on our website ojos.com. First attempt, including prompt. The other two images in this message are tweaked versions.

Well-oiled political machinery meets sand in the gears of government. An ai graphic image concept that probably would’ve worked better with gum instead of sand. govtworks.org
Graphic image created with ai for use in developing govtworks.org. The image depicts a “well oiled machine” on the one hand and a hand throwing “sand in the gears” on the other side. The image lacks the punch of an op-ed political cartoon I had sought (in the tradition Thomas Nast) and therefore, may fail to convey anything meaningful about self-governance.
