Today was the last day of Rebellion Card pack pre-sale at Splinterlands. For the longest of time, I was planning to getting about 10K packs, and not really trying to qualify on the Leaderboard to design summoners. I got what I wished for. The most important thing was that the pre-sale was successful and the team sold 492,665 packs out of 500,000 packs planned. Considering the bear market I say that is as good as it get. I would have loved to get it all done, but considering the circulstances, I think I can live with 7335 short as a goal.

The cool thing that happened today is how simply the community came together during the final hours of the pre-sale. After the DAO town hall at 9am to 10 am CST community just organically gathered together based on Aggy's call. At the peak there are about 100 people cheering the end of pre-sale of RB packs Hardpoint joined it and since we were refreshing the leaderboard in-game constantly, he created a LB on the fly that auto-refreshes, with color and information of our choice. All the while talking and listening to all our cumulative and collective criticism!

I was putting in some of my final buys in, and listening to the community fun and banter in discord live voice. At the same time I was playing with DALL-E 3 AI image creator that can be used at microsoft bing. I was having some fund with the prompt trying to visualize what Hardpoint might look like while coding on-deman and on the clock. Below is what I got.

Its funny how it handled copyright materials. As I was trying to re-create the image of Clint Eastwood at The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, it gave me the 'prompt blocked' messaage, which I think is the right way to do it. However, I wish it gave me some reasoning on why. But maybe, it doesn't do that for a reason, so that people to try to game the system based on the response of those prompts. Kudos to DALL-E3.
DALL·E 3 understands significantly more nuance and detail than our previous systems, allowing you to easily translate your ideas into exceptionally accurate images.
For those who do not know DALL-E 3 is the latest version of OpenAI’s image generator. They officially released it fairly recently, I want to last month, but don't quote me on it, I hate to google now! The main thing is, you can access it via Microsoft Bing with your MS log-in and it is free. The interesting about DALL-E 3 is the fact that it re-writes your prompt, so there is no need to do very long complex prompt. Without getting too much into details on a tangent topic, I must say I rather like what I got on Hardpoint coding real-time. Brave new world, I say!
