    Maybe This Christmas … I (Want that We) Shall Be Released

    In Case You Missed It: I was MIA this past monday [1]. No biggie — you are now receiving a full refund of your daily dose of Wants.Blog with this bonus blog post (including free shipping plus delivery on time for Christmas)! 😀

    Of course in my own private world, every day is a holy day — and yet every now and then I pause a little bit more to reflect … and therefore I am appropriately tagging this post with “Golden Rule“. 😉

    Likewise, I will be providing an opportunity for us (in other words: you and me) to exchange gifts (more details below the fold — LOL).

    The image above was generated by the WordPress editor, based on the input text “Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer in the Headlights”. I refuse to rate it. Instead, I wish to challenge my readers to create another image for what I am attempting to express here (and also in “Technology (and Audience) Capture” [ https://socio.business.blog/2025/12/20/technology-capture ] ).

    I promise to be very liberal (and accepting) of images — for each and every (appropriate) image that is created, suggested, etc.

    Any takers? Any givers? Any gift exchanges? … ? Please feel free to submit your image / application in the comments section! 😀

    let’s start with what I want to do today. As usual, I spent rather too much time over the weekend studying more about AI art generation. It seems that, as more people get interested in the subject, more files get generated that I want to try out, as well as newer, more efficient means of creating and using data that I want to learn – there’s one approach in particular that looks promising, both in terms of creating pictures of you, and generating certain artists’ styles that, for all the work other people have done, haven’t been touched (all of which could be the subject of a letter or two in and of itself, if you’d be willing to indulge me – I might even go so far as to create a tutorial, since most of the ones I find online seem to focus on a single subject, rather than an art style or a series). Perhaps this will be the key to perfecting a means of creating new and better pictures of you. Besides, since I’m both walking with Lars and meeting the girls for dinner tomorrow, it would be nice to have some new output to show them.
