There's a jellyfish, called Turritopsis dohrnii, that's basically got the cheat code for life. When it gets old, it doesn't settle down to retire - instead, it hits the reset button and goes back to being young again!
This ability means it could technically live forever - one of the few examples of biological immortality.

How NordPass transformed our operations at Mindstream!
MIDJOURNEY
Welcome to a world where you can make any picture you think of, just by typing it.
Imagine a cat with wings, or a castle floating in the sky, made real with a few keystrokes.
That’s the magic of Midjourney - the AI-powered art generator launched in February 2022 by David Holz.
Midjourney has evolved rapidly from its first version, offering glimpses into an alien aesthetic, to its latest, where photorealism meets the unseen.
Each version, from V1's adventurous digital canvas to V6's blend of painting and narrative, has expanded artistic possibilities, allowing users to command AI with unprecedented creativity and precision.
Midjourney is regarded as the cream of the crop when it comes to AI image generation, and with the recent release of version 6, nothing else comes close for creating masterpieces with AI.
Midjourney through the ages
Here’s an identical prompt on all 6 releases of Midjourney.

V6
This journey through versions has transformed simple prompts into complex, emotionally resonant artworks, marking Midjourney as a playground for both artists and anyone with a vision.
With Midjourney, David Holz aims to democratise image creation, making it accessible and easy for everyone.
The tool uses diffusion models to turn text into stunning images, learning from a vast collection of internet pictures to bring your ideas to life.
It’s like painting a picture but with your mind
As Midjourney continues to refine its brushstrokes and master the language of art, it offers a fresh alternative to stale stock photos, changing the way we think about and use images for creativity, work, and fun.
It's a testament to how AI is becoming an integral part of creative fields, making technology more accessible and user-friendly.
As we explore Midjourney's capabilities, it's clear that the blend of creativity and technology is reshaping our digital landscape.
Midjourney isn't just a tool; it's a portal to a world of imagination, promising a future of image creation that's brighter and more exciting than ever.
Whether you're into advertising, art, or just love brainstorming ideas, Midjourney transforms those ideas into images effortlessly, inviting you into a dynamic playground for artistic exploration.

PRESENTED BY NORDPASS
As Mindstream grew, we used more and more services for our operations - each needing a login and password. We needed a system to seamlessly store and share passwords between our team.
Our old, insecure system? We were keeping all of our passwords in a Google Doc. D’oh!
The solution? NordPass!
We now use NordPass to secure all of our passwords at Mindstream, and we’re safe from hackers.
With NordPass you can:
Keep all your passwords in one secure place
Generate and use hacker-proof passwords
Manage shared passwords for your team
Use MFA for better security
And it’s from the same team as NordVPN!
It’s time to take control of your passwords - and there’s good news: Mindstream readers can get a 3-month trial!
