ANOTHER ONE!
if you read that in DJ Khaled’s voice, you got it, congrats I made my 5th Streamlit app for another Lonely Octopus project. It’s an AI merch designer which generates new merch concepts by analyzing the user’s text description of the style/content and their selection of the specific merchandise type they want it to be…

Two months in
I’ve been learning all about artificial intelligence and data science in the last two months and decided it was time to start documenting my process. This is my first blog post about it. I haven’t blogged since ’06 or something, so this feels very nostalgic.
