Craigslist makes $650 million a year with 50 employees and a website that looks like it was made in 1997.
Just discovered your channel today. Love the production value and persona, and the way information is displayed. Thank you.
That why you don't want to reject some technical dude
Logically Answered literally just made a video about how tech companies hire people just to prevent them from going to work for competition, its a great watch
Click bait Title he rejected Apple
How do comments like this get any votes. This comment makes no sense.
@@johnrperry5897it’s sarcasm
I never knew that the Midjourney founder also founded Leap Motion, I still have one of their old Leap Motion units at home as I was fascinated by it during college
David seems to be like a far greater personality than anybody else in tech.
This channel is criminally underrated. Can’t wait for you to blow up like CoffeZilla!
glad your startup series is back 🔥
no matter what you think, that guy shouldn't have had to even compete, we put years and years to learn to draw, and all of the complexity that comes with it, just for someone to go and generate an image in 20 min and win. so no they shouldn't be allowed to compete. as an individual that dreamed of becoming an artist for the longest time it truly broke me that he won something that he didn't work for.
Nope if you think that creating an AI like that requires no skill then you my man should really stay in your lane.
If I were in your place, I would be like; I'm going to make such bombastic art that even AI generated ones cannot compete with my creations.
Would I be able to do it? I wouldn't know, not unless I tried
@@safiulfaiyaz7038 the hell are you talking about !? what skills besides entering text prompts are you speaking of when it comes to Ai image generators from people who could not even hold a bush correctly to paint a straight line?, please elaborate... and make a strong comparison to art work that takes people years or a life time to learn the technics to produce by hand with not just with paint but in multiple mediums. like the Mona Lisa, Im sure you heard of that work ,please explain to me how much physical skill and talent you needed to exert to come up with a digital equivalent by entering text prompts on discord?
Impressive storytelling, John, subbed!
Anyone else noticed that this released after NFTs crashed and that most NFTs were probably AI generated by a bot like this?
It's good to also have a brief description of the video in the video description
I have started to hate Ai generate artworks more and more, that to me all of the works look so scary
but midjourney uses, just as with all the image generators, unlicensed stolen data to train their models.
John, what an impeccable job! Loved hearing about one of my favorite geeky dudes in such a casual, friend-to-friend way. Thanks!!
Nice name tho btw.
he invented stealing machine god job.
Wow dude! The way you actually present the whole thing, can't resist but watch and listen in awe. Talk about captivating your audience.
John, this is such an excellent and informative video! Thank you for making this! I've been loving exploring creatively in Midjourney and basically found your video by searching why the program was created. As a graphic designer, it is most definitely helping me deal with the "thinking overwhelms doing" reality I often battle with. It's been surprisingly SO helpful in that regard.
i always wattch out for your videos, they are amazing!!! keep it up the sky is your limit
Your so good at what you do. Going to need to watch this more then couple times.
Your content is so interesting and informative, I'm surprised you don't have millions of subscribers.
I think his appearance doesn't reflect edge. His work has lots of edge which is part of why it's so good, but he looks like the least edgy, most clean cut guy, ever. Jake tran when he was still showing his face matched the edginess of his videos in his appearance. James Jani, and the borders guy, all have an edgier appearance that seems to say, "yes this is my work and I'm the sole creator. " even though they probably have a team... it just matches their appearance and personal style.
There are a LOT of artists wanting to send anthrax to this guys house lol.
By his own logic it would be fine to shoot him in the face. Holz once argued the artists whose work he used to train his AI have no right to complain. They should never have uploaded their work to internet. According to him, what's on the internet is fair game. This means that if he ever leaves his house, making himself accessible to the public, he should be fair game to all artists, doesn't it?
Great video and entertaining way to tell this story. Thanks for sharing 👍
Love your videos man such top tier quality
7:49 underneath the bite of the apple logo you can see Jacob from Funhaus !
Nice to see something really different. huge fan.
*”David’s dad was a dentist.”*
Hold up….
Just discovered your channel. Great stuff. And I adore your voice, you have real talent there!
Excellent video. I was fascinated when I heard about Leap Motion and it’s emerging tech. I purchased it as soon as the first batch was available. I always wondered what came of that company.
Thank you for this informative video John.
I can't skip his new videos.
He rejected Apple twice, and ruined art forever
Awesome piece John.
I really loved the story format you used from this point 5:45 I guess its a better way to get people engaged e.g myself lol
Great video, just earned my subscription! This was intensely fascinating.
great docs John really entertaining and interesting
Great video John!
It's also serious copyright infringement. Midjourney is cool and all, but the real winner of future AI generation will be data, and they haven't paid for theirs. There is no chance this company can succeed, because if it does the entertainment industry is over.
This was a great video John,
really 👍
I have been working as an architect for 12 years now, it hurt me to watch the program create beautiful architectural forms that I would never have imagined.
If you're really an architect, you wouldnt forget to mention the design layouts make no sense...
You don't seem to understand what it's all about. A graphical neural network is a threat to all real creative people, artists, designers, architects.@@Capeau
@@user-mu8kf5tx3sIm a graphic designer. And thats not what i was talking about.
People think architecture is just drwaing some buildings, while its so much more, the design needs to make sense. Orientation, the way the rooms are layed out etc...
The architect also coordinates and oversees the construction proces. Including visits to the building sites, etc...
I dont think this AI will be able to do that anytime soon.
Besides government cant allow to let AI take over regular jobs, because it would create trouble (lots of revolts)
Ка@@Capeau what a naive person you are, the machine has already replaced people in large-scale industries. in the future, jobs will be cut even more.
@Capeau they are doing it anyway. Culling people with Covid19. Don't think about the initial illness, a decade or 2 and we all suffer immune failure. Watch.
Amazing video, thank you for that. Seems like you and you and your team put a lot of research effort to come up with such detailed explanation
videos are educating, every part of the video was well explained
Speed has improved - I have mine set to use turbo mode, and it's about 5-6s per
Great video John really enjoyed your work
What a compelling way to tell a story!
Presenter has the "here's what happened next" intensity the whole time.
you should have added the scene from back to the future.
Marty McFly: I guess you guys aren't ready for that, yet. But your kids are gonna love it.
Misleading title, he rejected Apple twice not the other way around. David is definitely a smart man with artist tendencies.
Its called clickbait
A bait for a seriously good video!
Are we looking at the same title? Isn't that what it says?
@@thatsalamebro-et8hbI assume John changed the title and tbh someone rejecting Apple intrigues me more than Apple rejecting somebody.
@@jakobmoiirers_jmoii same haha
Some of these technologies are completely useless. What is the point of this tool? I don’t want to see art made by a machine learning tool.
Early Leap consumer and love it!
Once you have it, you start noticing it in many movies, videos and workplaces.
Pretty Epic, I leaned a lot, thanks!
Wow i have been using Midjourney from the start and I didn't know he was involved with Leap! That little bar was one of the coolest things I've ever used. I miss it.
Exceptional content. Bravo!
I am obsessed with your videos! I would argue tho that the reason leap motion wasn't successful is because the new proposed user interaction paradigm wasn't as compelling as what was already there. It sounds awesome, but it's not as fast or practical as a mouse/keyboard/voice/touch screen.
It's also because we LIKE to touch things.
Did you fact check this? MJ v1 was actually trained on an old Stability build. David himself mentioned this.
started playing this video on .75x speed and enjoyed it a lot more. Tik tok editing is brutal to sit through for 23 mins.
Discord is the reason I hate using Midjourney
Heads up John you are always my favourite hey John would make a video about the history of Google would really appreciate ❤
Incredibly similar upbringing to Mark Zuckerberg. His dad was also a dentist who needed computers 😄
Well done John.
You make a great video, and learned a lot, thanks for making this.
wow john thanks for this
I really love your videos.
Quality information and educative at that
I have a Leap Motion device. Bought it soon as it was released. However as we and BMW* soon discovered, air gestures are too tiresome, no matter how cool they look in Minority Report. Had no idea David was behind it. Great and insightful video!
*Some of their cars allow air gestures as part of iDrive.
You do a really great show sir.
I still remember I purchased leap motion sensor when they released first version … I guess 2011? I still have that but it stays in box only … I hardly use it … same I can say for oculus
It is just not comfortable yet specially for people who have glasses .. but yes this are amazing experiences …
My father did back when he was in the C-scroll days where he was in the Gaming industry. It's not the legal gaming type but he was working for some illegal syndicate to earn money to send kids for education in foreign land like Australia and Leeds, UK.
Loved the video
Hi, I've been watching your videos, and I really enjoy your content. This time, I found it exceptionally interesting to have this information, so I took the liberty of translating it into Spanish. I hope you don't mind-I have no intention of monetizing or anything like that; that's not my intention. I genuinely appreciate all the information you share and the research you put into each video, and my only interest is to share it with more people. :) Once again, thank you for sharing all this valuable information
You can do whatever you want with it if you’re not monetizing it.
Thank you for telling us David's story, it's really inspiring!
Excellent video, u have another subscriber, and 👍
the title is misleading, apple didnt reject him, he rejected apple. Twice
And that was what the title said, that he rejected apple. You guys should really read well before laying down your critics
@@Super_Quiz538 he changed the title, when i commented the title was something else. he maybe looked at this comment and updated the title
do wonder dynamics next!
This was superb
just checked the midjourney discord, and there is only 13,675,356 members. awesome video, but im not sure where you got 18 million members from.
Did not know it was the dude who made leap motion
2D and 4D means those betting games. 2-digit and 4-digit.
You got me laughing at "lot's of super smart, slightly aimless people do" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
David, Destroyer of worlds
As a pro graphic designer, I am obsessed with Midjourney. Best think happened online since long time.
same here
Better to use both SDXL and Midjourney since both have different strengths and one is free to boot
@@southcoastinventors6583 SDLX is gaining ground, I agree! Should give it a try absolutely
A good friend of mine in graphic design used to work exactly like that. He would always be talking to others after gatherings, "hey, do you like this design better... or this one?" Totally a human version of what Midjourney is doing!
My brain is constantly generating images and I get chemical satisfaction , I tried all ai…it destroys the happy brain , I want to use my brain ….
So good. 🔥🔥🔥 Love the "lessons learned" segment.
Discord sucks the life out of Midjourney. They made a huge mistake by shackling their users to a low rent chat UI that was never designed to cope with the potential of MJ. Now they are between the worlds as they try to extricate themselves from Discord by transferring to a web UI.
It does as well a it’s idiotic rude nerd mods. MJ needs to do 100% better with its support especially for paying customers.
@@albiethecockerspaniel 💯%
/imagine prompt: running a multi million dollar company and being too stingy to hire a professional customer service dept! Total amateur-land.
P!$$e$ me off.
as your video plays i am making travel posters and already have a t shirt business that i use midjourney
I remember playing Star Wars Dark Forces on PSX back in the day, fond memories
Dispite the title being slightly misleading, It's defeinitly still interesting!
The Midjourney bot does a fairly good job of giving you what you want if you're specific enough with your initial prompt. Using this tool online is great for producing a dynamic range of images that might meet your needs.
It is an incredible tool. Our team is using it more and more for concepting during the production process.
AI is the biggest red flag humanity has encountered in the history of modern society. Is like we are begging to become obsolete.
Awesome presentation.
David looks like that mad ghost form train
Really impeccable, deep analysys. You are what makes Internet great.
one thing that is even better than his tech is his community
Excellent overview, is there an application on Android for mid journey
This dude's first language was Scheme. Mine was Visual Basic 5. That illustrates how much better this guy is than slapdicks like me.
Yeah my first language ever was C++ back when I was already 22 years old.
I also love david holtz's banger tweets😅
Best youtube channel. I don't tell anybody about this channel.
You should spread good news as you discover it
Midjourney really achieve something so amazing and great video man :]
fantastic video
That was a great watch, he’s super smart hey,
J***n rejected me I built productX. So inspiring, I am glad you made this video very impactful!
his usage of clickbait-esque thumbnails of current murderous people is so hilarious
The title should be “he rejected apple twice before “HE” created Midjourney” but it was rather either way
