Show HN: Tess – The first AI image generator to pay artists

16 hours 38 min ago

Hi HN,

I wanted to share a side project that we've been working on for a few weeks. It's called Tess and it's a new kind of AI image generator that pays artists when generations are made in their style. Artists can use Tess to create their own model, and choose to use it privately, or publish it publicly to earn revenue when it's used. The plan is to split generation revenue with artists 50/50.

We thought something like this would be inevitable in order to have artists be able to participate in conversation around AI art. We've paid out over $15k to real artists on the platform already, and we hope to grow these partnerships over time. Obviously not every artist is excited about AI, but we feel like this is a small step towards putting control back in the hands of artists.

Here's our launch post - would love to hear your feedback! https://www.tess.design/blog/the-first-image-generator-to-pa...

Ask HN: Social media with a high barrier to entry?

16 hours 45 min ago

For starters, this will sound elitist so bear with me.

Is there any “social” media site that has an incredibly high barrier of entry?

Like to join you have to pass some incredibly hard IQ test (not that I believe in those), or programming challenge, or logic challenge - and to keep your membership you must constantly prove yourself.

For context I have no online presence, besides HackerNews. I only just joined HackerNews.

I just want a “social” site where I can look at articles and subscribe to my hobbies (kind of like Reddit) but without the masses.

And talk and comment with “smart”-er people. I think hackernews is probably the best site for that, but even here some of the people’s comments make me scratch my head.

I want to be fully away from politics, gamification etc.

I even thought of building my own social media based on shared bookmarks that would connect you with peers who share similar bookmarks to you. Is that a thing?

End of rant

Show HN: I've built a web app designed to bring your customers back

17 hours 9 min ago

Hi HN, As a solo startup founder, I need to get to the market as fast as possible. Unfortunately, many users discover that the early releases don't meet their needs; they're missing key features. So, I built FeaturePanel, where these customers can subscribe to new features and get notified when they're available. This ensures they have the features they need, and I retain their custom.
