Just discovered your channel today. Love the production value and persona, and the way information is displayed. Thank you.

Craigslist makes $650 million a year with 50 employees and a website that looks like it was made in 1997.

glad your startup series is back 🔥

This channel is criminally underrated. Can’t wait for you to blow up like CoffeZilla!

Impressive storytelling, John, subbed!

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

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.

That why you don't want to reject some technical dude

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.

It's good to also have a brief description of the video in the video description

Your so good at what you do. Going to need to watch this more then couple times.

great docs John really entertaining and interesting

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

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

Pretty Epic, I leaned a lot, thanks!

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?

but midjourney uses, just as with all the image generators, unlicensed stolen data to train their models.

I have started to hate Ai generate artworks more and more, that to me all of the works look so scary

Anyone else noticed that this released after NFTs crashed and that most NFTs were probably AI generated by a bot like this?

You make a great video, and learned a lot, thanks for making this.

videos are educating, every part of the video was well explained

I really love your videos.

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

I can't skip his new videos.

Quality information and educative at that

Just discovered your channel. Great stuff. And I adore your voice, you have real talent there!

Loved the video

What a compelling way to tell a story!

Awesome presentation.

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.

Very interesting and well made video!

Great work👍

Well done John.

Good video!

fantastic video

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 …

wow john thanks for this

Really really well written! thanks!

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

This was superb

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.

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.

Really impeccable, deep analysys. You are what makes Internet great.

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.

Excellent overview, is there an application on Android for mid journey

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.

*”David’s dad was a dentist.”* Hold up….

Thank you for telling us David's story, it's really inspiring!

Early Leap consumer and love it! Once you have it, you start noticing it in many movies, videos and workplaces.

Nice job bro

David, Destroyer of worlds

Dispite the title being slightly misleading, It's defeinitly still interesting!

Nice job!

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.

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.

That was a great watch, he’s super smart hey,

I would have bought it, but never heard of it obviously not only a market fit issue, it needed integration into another product, accessibility would have been a great fit

as your video plays i am making travel posters and already have a t shirt business that i use midjourney

Incredibly similar upbringing to Mark Zuckerberg. His dad was also a dentist who needed computers 😄

I remember playing Star Wars Dark Forces on PSX back in the day, fond memories

I also love david holtz's banger tweets😅

pfff! Alan didn't invent the GUI that goes to Douglas Engelbart, inventor of the Mouse as well.

I use Mid-Journey but the / prompts are not natural, and learning to use tokens is sometimes frustrating. The Seed number for an image needs to be improved. I can't replicate an image I like to create an illustrated book.

Misleading title, he rejected Apple twice not the other way around. David is definitely a smart man with artist tendencies.

Did you fact check this? MJ v1 was actually trained on an old Stability build. David himself mentioned this.

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.
