Hi fam!

Alright, here’s the deal—today is Friday the 13th. 🥵🥵 Some people won’t fly, some won’t make deals, and others just won’t get out of bed. Why? Because a weird cocktail of ancient myths and Hollywood horror made us believe this date is cursed.

But is it actually unlucky? Or just another excuse to blame the universe for a bad day? I do not know, but we will publish the Friday 13th issue tomorrow on Saturday! 🤡🤡 For you it is today.

Let’s break it down—and maybe even flip the script on what this day really means.

Friday the 13th is widely considered an unlucky day in Western superstition. This belief combines two long-standing fears:

1. The number 13 – Often seen as unlucky. In many cultures, 12 is considered a “complete” number (12 months, 12 zodiac signs, 12 apostles, etc.), so 13 feels irregular or ominous. Some buildings skip the 13th floor entirely.

2. Friday – Historically considered an unlucky day, especially in Christian tradition. It is believed Jesus was crucified on a Friday, and some interpretations suggest the Last Supper had 13 attendees (Jesus and the 12 apostles), with Judas—the betrayer—being the 13th guest.

Together, Friday the 13th became associated with bad luck, fear, and superstition. 🤥🤥

🧠 These AI Image Hacks Are Next-Level Smart

Let’s say you're broke, ambitious, and allergic to monthly subscriptions. Good. You're my favorite type of person.

Now let’s talk about how to use AI image generation without paying like an idiot. These are not just "smart" tricks. These are “that guy is playing chess while we play checkers” tricks.

Here’s how to look like a creative genius — without spending a cent more than you have to.

1. Don’t Rent the Ferrari — Buy the Used Honda That Does the Same Job

Are you using image generation a lot? Most people run to Midjourney or DALL·E and pay $30/month. Why? For convenience.

Smart people buy a used graphics card, install Stable Diffusion locally, and print money.

Do this:

• Go on eBay. Buy a used RTX 3090 for ~$400.

• Install Automatic1111 or ComfyUI on your computer (easy setup guides online).

• Boom. You now run the same model MJ uses. For free. Forever.

• Generate as many images as you want, any style, zero cost.

It's like having a printing press in your bedroom. The ROI? Insane.

If you need a bunch of images to be generated each day, your investment in the RTX will be returned in no time.

🧠🧠My hustle genes would die if I did not mention that you could do this and offer your image generation services to other mega users and EARN MONEY!💵💵💵💵💵

2. Train Your Own Mini-Model for Cents

Want product shots of a mug that is always fit with your logo? Or you want to produce a series of AI generated images with your brand character in different situations? Or your dog as a viking? Don't pay a designer.

Train a LoRA model. It sounds fancy, but it's stupid easy.

Do this:

• Take 15–20 photos of the object or face you want to clone repeatedly.

• Use Kohya from GitHUB to train your mini-model.

• Upload it into your local Stable Diffusion setup.

• Now prompt it like: “a cyberpunk-style mug with BIOTFY.eu logo on Mars”

Training cost: $1–2 on Google Colab or your own GPU.
Result: Images that look like a designer spent hours on them.

Read the full instructions!

3. Prompt Like a Wizard, Not a Caveman

Prompting is 80% of the game. Smart people don’t guess. They copy & paste.

Do this:

• Go to Reddit r/ChatGPTPromptGenius or PromptHero.com

• Find tested prompts that work

• Use the same ones in your SD setup

Or better: Build a prompt template with variables like a Mad Libs game:

You’ll instantly go from “meh” to masterpiece.

4. Never Pay Full Price to Generate Images (Duh)

If you're a student, teacher, or know someone who is — get free credits from platforms like RunPod, Google Colab, or HuggingFace. They offer free education credits.

Or if you're just scrappy:

• Sign up for every free tier out there: Leonardo.ai, Playground, Mage.space, etc.

• Rotate accounts, test styles, get the best of all worlds.

Yes, it’s hustle. But smart people don’t pay for convenience — they build a system once and coast forever.

Final Thought

You can either:

• Be a consumer who pays $30/month for someone else's cloud

• Or be a creator who builds a fire-breathing image machine in your basement

One spends. One scales.

Pick your fighter. 💥
