Five Pieces of Commissioned AI Art on Any Subject for $5
100 available at $5 for 5!!!
COMMISSION: No matter what bid you place, if you're in the first 20 bidders, you'll pay $5 for up to 5 pieces of DALL-E 2 AI art on subjects you determine, magicked up by Metafilter's own Rhaomi. We're restricting purchases to lots of 5, as our payment processing fees don't make it worthwhile to accept smaller individual payments.
DALL-E 2 is an AI system. It can create realistic images and art in any style, based on the description it's proyou give it. It's recently become available to the public, but it can take a bit of practice to frame the text description just right. Rhaomi's here to make it easier - for every $5 you contribute, they will work with you to create five images you've conjured in your mind. If you want more than 1 lot of five, place your bid and email us at metafiltersc@gmail.com with AUC21 in the subject line, telling us how many lots you want.

Social movement book bundle (signed!) & discussion with author Aric McBay
It's COP27 week, and US midterm week. What better time to start thinking seriously how social movements work?
You get three books about resistance and social movements by Metafilter's own Aric McBay, plus a 45 minute video chat with the author for you, your friends, or your book club.
Full Spectrum Resistance is a two-volume exploration of how to build more effective movements (2019, Seven Stories Press). Bill Ayers wrote: "McBay provides a lantern that will cut through the blunt blear and gritty exhaust all around, and offers this sizzling invitation to unleash your most radical imagination..."
And the new novel Kraken Calling (2022) is a social movement thriller that toggles between 2028 and 2051. Kirkus called it: "An urgent call to action cloaked in a sprawling dystopian debut."
Books will be signed personally to the winner bidder with a special message. A limited-edition quick reference guide is also included. Video chat at a mutually agreed time.
Shipping included to Canada and US (overseas shipping may be extra).
