AI-art imagery has taken off in recent months

I got into the Midjourney program recently. If you are not aware it is one of the creative imagery tools that allows you to type in text and it converts that to an image.

The future is here - for text to image creations and art!

Several of my contacts on Linkedin are using this brilliantly.

Midjourney had offered a free trial, that is over for now.

I read there were deep fakes created there that went viral, which led to the trial suspension.

To run Midjourney you need to accept and use the Discord program.

Instructions are simple.

Now for the Dark side.

Youtube is filled with videos about how Discord is more intrusive than even Facebook on your personal clicking, scrolling, and mousing around online.

No online activity is left untracked with Discord is the word.

There is no privacy barrier if you have Discord - according to the Youtubers that use these tools regularly.

Sigh!

The Upside - there are solid reviews for the community aspect that Discord offers.

Tread lightly on the internet - as always!

Feel free to report back to me how this lands for you and your experience with Midjourney via Discord if you are using it or if you choose to move forward there now.

Health data ownership

I had a great conversation with Britt Massei recently.

Britt is the Founder & CEO of Whole in One Health.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/britt-massei-103b7/

Britt informed me that Whole in One Health will provide a platform for individuals around the world, from all socioeconomic backgrounds, to manage their own health and get efficient and successful use out of the health care system.

Through a vast system of personal data ownership and control, individuals will have opportunities to share their data easily and transparently with researchers, public health organizations, payors and other trusted parties.

Britt also brings us the Alz Meter - this is an app that will provide users with feedback and guidance on managing their risk of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.

• Many are unaware that their lifestyle can have a significant impact on their risk.

• Aware or not, few people can currently answer the question "How well am I living my life to DIPS (Delay, Improve, Prevent or Slow) Alzheimer's disease?"

• Alz Meter app will answer that question and provide valuable guidance to improve.

• The most impactful medicine for Alzheimer’s is in the lifestyle choices you make.

• Research has shown that it is possible to Delay, Improve, Prevent, or Slow Alzheimer’s and other dementias through: SLEDSS - Sleep Learning Exercise Diet, Stress Management and Socializing

The Covid health “emergency” is officially over in the US

This was announced as of this past Thursday.

While the pandemic continues to claim lives daily, the pandemic remains.

Though the “emergency” phase of Covid had ended. Viral mutations continue to present.

What is expected next?

• Free testing will not continue for all.

• Home Covid testing availability may taper off.

• The cost for Covid vaccines are expected to rise.

• It remains to be seen what benefits will cover what costs related to these services.

The world needs more Great Leaders!

Twitter leadership shifts have blown up the news in recent days as Elon Musk announced hiring a new CEO - Linda Yaccarino.

Whatever your feelings about Musk or Twitter, or none - I feel really interested in this pick.

• There are some strong genes in Linda’s family! I know this personally, in a good way.

• Linda might just be the match that Elon needs to redirect some things to get the twitter bird-house in order.

None of this will be easy - none of it!

But it sure sounds all of a sudden like different-new-possibility, rather than same-ole-fizzle!

• Linda brings quite an accomplished background as seasoned chair of Ad Sales for NBCUniversal.

• I might just join Twitter soon.

Could a new Twitter logo/icon be in the making on the horizon?…..

That is all - for this issue - of Leading Greats!

• I hope that you got something of benefit here - thank you for your support!

• Feel free to reach out to me and connect - with any questions, feedback, suggestions, to inquire about my work, etc. !

I am interested in keeping it great here!! Let me know.

It would mean so much(!!) if you would leave a “reaction” here - see top left, on the “heart” button.
