Fair enough, I guess there's value to the social feedback you get in discord and being able to easily see what others have input.
There isn't really, the majority of people in the channels are newcomers, it scrolls too fast for you to really see much, and once you subscribe you move to private and only see your own messages anyway. I have no idea why they went to Discord, it hasn't provided any benefit to me personally, at least.

#62The output is quite cool, but why on earth have they locked interaction with it away in discord instead of having it available in the web? It basically guarantees that most people won't know about it, won't interact with it, and won't be able to view the results. It's just a deeply weird design decision.
That's good for now. It's early days and it's pretty busy already. I don't like Discord much but I'll admit it's a pretty good interface for something like MJ as you can see (and be inspired by) other people's prompts and discuss the process in a live way. The amount of realtime product feedback they are getting is amazing and it's fun watching it from the sidelines. The founder also does live calls on the voice channels where he talks about how things are going - it's a very interesting group experience for a product.
I'd argue Discord is great for attracting creative types. The number of HN comments complaining about how complicated Discord is (not yours so much, but the ones where people refuse to even countenance Discord at all) strikes me as odd given my assumption the typical HN user would be a high openness, hacker-ish type keen to try new things.

you don't get to see other's images and talk with them in a shared chat channel with that approach (unless they build out a lot more web app). Which is half the fun of it. (Not that hard to build, but more work than a Discord bot.)
Which is half the fun for /some/ people. What people are saying (including me) is that it's not fun for them, and Discord feels like a big hindrance instead of a benefit.

#64Okay I got to say I have never been both superimpressed with the product and yet confused how sucky it was to get to it. heres what happened 1. I see the post on HN 2. I click it. 3. I read comments, see people discuss why its on discord, and figure worth checking it out since I have discord 4. I had to log in with discord, go to their chat, 5. read the trial support room chat(webpage only had basic $10/month and pre…

I think I could be considered as a high openness, hacker-ish type keen to try new things, and my avoidance of discord isn’t that it’s complicated (hard to use), it’s that it’s complicated (unnecessary busy). From the notifications being a lot of noise by default to threads being so much work to catch up on after the fact, it’s just heavy and dense and complicated.
Caveat: It seems much more geared towards users who commit significant brain-space to the subjects they join (for example: catching up on threads is easier if you’re paying attention to realtime notifications), whereas I have a lot of interests and really just want the gems whenever I “sit down” to work with a particular interest.

#69On the whole access with discord thing, and objectively going through it:
* It's a great way to harvest emails and profiles, similar to using facebook login - but it already has a natural filter to noise. For example, the crypto/NFT space is very on discord.
* Being able to use humans to generate these images is a great way to get better resolution on what would be a good NFT signal generator...
* The way discord works, it's easier to collect user metrics vs. website & google analytics. Every time the server gets overloaded, you know you hit a user threshold and expand. Pretty smart way of onboarding also -- there are "newbie" chat rooms, free trial chat rooms, and I assume paid chat rooms. No need to build it since using the chatrooms does it for you!
(for the record, I don't hold or actually like the crypto space myself - it's an earth warming CAP theorem system that doesn't produce work that can be achieved by other methods)Re: AI generated, command whatever you want. It will generate mind-blowing images
