The 2025 generative AI image market is a trade-off between aesthetic quality, instruction-following, and user control. This episode analyzes the key platforms, comparing Midjourney's artistic output against the superior text generation and prompt adherence of GPT-4o and Imagen 4, the commercial safety of Adobe Firefly, and the total customization of Stable Diffusion. Links Notes and resources at ocdevel.com/mlg/mla-25 Try a walking desk - stay healthy & sharp while you learn & code Build the future of multi-agent software with AGNTCY. The State of the Market The market is split by three core philosophies: The "Artist" (Midjourney): Prioritizes aesthetic excellence and cinematic output, sacrificing precise user control and instruction following. The "Collaborator" (GPT-4o, Imagen 4): Extensions of LLMs that excel at conversational co-creation, complex instruction following, and integration into productivity workflows. The "Sovereign Toolkit" (Stable Diffusion): An open-source engine offering users unparalleled control, customization, and privacy in exchange for technical engagement. Table 1: 2025 Generative AI Image Tool At-a-Glance Comparison Tool Parent Company Access Method(s) Pricing Core Strength Best For Midjourney v7 Midjourney, Inc. Web App, Discord Subscription Artistic Aesthetics & Photorealism Fine Art, Concept Design, Stylized Visuals GPT-4o OpenAI ChatGPT, API Freemium/Sub Conversational Control & Instruction Following Marketing Materials, UI/UX Mockups, Logos Google Imagen 4 Google Gemini, Workspace, Vertex AI Freemium/Sub Ecosystem Integration & Speed Business Presentations, Educational Content Stable Diffusion 3 Stability AI Local Install, Web UIs, API Open Source Ultimate Customization & Control Developers, Power Users, Bespoke Workflows Adobe Firefly Adobe Creative Cloud Apps, Web App Subscription Commercial Safety & Workflow Integration Professional Designers, Agencies, Enterprise Core Platforms Midjourney v7: Premium choice for artistic quality. Features: Web UI with Draft Mode, user personalization, emerging video/3D. Weaknesses: Poor text generation, poor prompt adherence, public images on cheap plans, no API/bans automation. OpenAI GPT-4o: An intelligent co-creator for controlled generation. Features: Conversational refinement, superior text rendering, understands uploaded image context. Weaknesses: Slower than competitors, generates one image at a time, strict content filters. Google Imagen 4: Pragmatic tool focused on speed and ecosystem integration. Features: High-quality photorealism, fast generation, strong text rendering, multilingual. Weaknesses: Less artistic flair; value is dependent on Google ecosystem investment. Stable Diffusion 3: Open-source engine for maximum user control. Features: MMDiT architecture improves prompt/text handling, scalable models, vast ecosystem (LoRAs/ControlNet). Weaknesses: Steep learning curve, quality is user-dependent. Adobe Firefly: Focused on commercial safety and professional workflow integration. Features: Trained on Adobe Stock for legal indemnity, Generative Fill/Expand tools. Weaknesses: Creative range limited by training data, requires Adobe subscription/credits. Tools and Concepts In-painting: Modifying a masked area inside an image. Out-painting: Extending an image beyond its original borders. LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation): A small file that applies a fine-tuned style, character, or concept to a base model. ControlNet: Uses a reference image (e.g., pose, sketch) to enforce the composition, structure, or pose of the output. A1111 vs. ComfyUI: Two main UIs for Stable Diffusion. A1111 is a beginner-friendly tabbed interface; ComfyUI is a node-based interface for complex, efficient, and automated workflows. Workflows "Best of Both Worlds": Generate aesthetic base images in Midjourney, then composite, edit, and add text with precision in Photoshop/Firefly. Single-Ecosystem: Work entirely within Adobe Creative Cloud or Google Workspace for seamless integration, commercial safety (Adobe), and convenience (Google). "Build Your Own Factory": Use ComfyUI to build automated, multi-step pipelines for consistent character generation, advanced upscaling, and video. Decision Framework Choose by Goal: Fine Art/Concept Art: Midjourney. Logos/Ads with Text: GPT-4o, Google Imagen 4, or specialist Ideogram. Consistent Character in Specific Pose: Stable Diffusion with a Character LoRA and ControlNet (OpenPose). Editing/Expanding an Existing Photo: Adobe Photoshop with Firefly. Exclusion Rules: If you need legible text, exclude Midjourney. If you need absolute privacy or zero cost (post-hardware), Stable Diffusion is the only option. If you need guaranteed commercial legal safety, use Adobe Firefly. If you need an API for a product, use OpenAI or Google; automating Midjourney is a bannable offense.

U.S. President Donald Trump has posted a letter to President Cyril Ramaphosa on Truth Social informing him that starting August 1st, South Africa would be charged a tariff of 30% on any and all products sent into the United States. Trump also warned in the letter that were South Africa to raise tariffs on the United States, that this figure would be added on top of the 30%. Trump has again cited trade deficits with countries as the main reason for the imposition of this tariff. He earlier also threatened countries that align themselves with the anti-American policies of BRICS with an additional 10% tariff on exports to the United States. Sherwin Bryce-Pease reports that the current U.S. good trade deficit with South Africa was $8.8 billion in 2024.

Most BigLaw firms offer a broad array of benefits, including to meet important needs for caregiving for children. But there is still a large gap in many firms for lawyers and other professionals when it comes to benefits that assist in meeting broader family needs, including when it comes to caring for parents, adult dependents, spoues and other family members.

Discover the transformative power of disagreement when approached with respect and understanding. In this episode, we unravel the story of Korach's rebellion against Moshe from Parshas Korach and draw from Rashi's teachings to highlight how disagreements can be natural and beneficial if they remain respectful. By sharing anecdotes of passionate debates among former Mossad leaders and rabbis over Talmudic interpretations, we illustrate how strong opposing views can coexist within respectful discourse. These lessons are increasingly vital in a world where political and social disagreements often escalate into personal conflicts.We also reflect on the role of conflict within relationships, using Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Aurbach as an example to emphasize that a lack of conflict might indicate a lack of true engagement. Extending this idea to international relations, we tackle the complexities of achieving peace between Israelis and Iranians, showcasing the importance of offering dignified exits from conflict. We examine strategies such as those employed by Trump to highlight the importance of allowing all parties to save face. As we conclude, we share a poignant story about the protective power of Torah books during a missile attack in Israel, underscoring the enduring need for peace and safety. Join us for a thought-provoking journey that emphasizes the pursuit of peace in our lives, both personally and globally._____________This episode (Ep 7.35) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Korach is dedicated in honor of our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!Download & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on June 20, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 25, 2025_____________Listen & Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Keywords:#Torah, #Parsha, #Numbers, #Disagreement, #Respect, #Korach, #Rebellion, #Mossad, #Peace, #Conflicts, #Israelis, #Iranians, #Trump_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

I'm Hattie Hawks, and in this very special episode, I'm opening up about my personal journey with complex PTSD—how I discovered it, how it's shown up in my life, and how it continues to shape my healing process. I'm joined by Dr. Ken Yeager, the founder of the STAR (Stress, Trauma And Resilience) program at The Ohio State University and an expert in trauma research and recovery.In this conversation, Dr. Yeager and I talk about what trauma really is, how it lives in our minds and bodies, and the sometimes subtle, sometimes overwhelming ways it impacts our emotions, executive function, and relationships. We talk candidly about my own experiences—including the surprises and setbacks of recovery—and how trauma can show up even when we might not realize it. Dr. Yeager also gives us an accessible look at the neuroscience behind trauma, why we might blame ourselves, and the ways our culture and recent events (like the COVID-19 pandemic) have increased collective feelings of isolation and stress.I hope this episode brings you validation if you're on your own healing journey, or helps you better understand and support those around you. With honesty, some well-earned humility, and the wisdom of a true expert, we explore how emotional intelligence and self-compassion are absolutely crucial as we work toward joy and wholeness. Thank you for being here with me—let's take these next steps together.Here are 3 key takeaways from our discussion:Trauma often hides behind everyday struggles. If you—or your colleagues—are feeling scattered, forgetful, or emotionally exhausted, underlying trauma might be part of the story. Understanding this is step one to creating more supportive workplaces.Healing is not linear—and self-compassion is essential. Progress is messy. You may move forward, backwards, or sideways, and that's okay. Extending kindness to yourself (and others) is a critical part of recovery.Connection is the antidote to loneliness and shame. Whether you're recovering from trauma yourself or leading others, fostering genuine human connection and open dialogue fosters healing and growth for everyone.Key Moments00:00 Trauma Insights with Dr. Yeager09:44 "Parental Impact on Childhood Trauma"13:19 Impact of Trauma on Perspectives19:33 Healing Through Life Experiences25:58 Understanding Personal History30:20 Loneliness Epidemic: Fear of Closeness33:37 Thriving Through Emotional Understanding42:50 Struggling with Emotional Connection43:54 Loneliness and Connection Crisis53:22 "Self-Understanding Through Compassion"55:16 Processing Emotions and Anger01:01:11 Rediscovering Joy Amidst Challenges01:11:06 "Understanding Work's Impact on Well-being"01:12:44 "OSU STAR & Helpful Resources"In each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he extended the June 19 deadline for China-based ByteDance to divest the U.S. assets of short-video app TikTok for 90 more days. "I've just signed the Executive Order extending the Deadline for the TikTok closing for 90 days (September 17, 2025)," he said in a Truth Social post, which included a copy of the document.An Iranian missile hit the main hospital in southern Israel early on Thursday, causing “extensive damage” but no serious injuries, the medical facility said. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz blamed Iranian leader Ali Khamenei for the strikes and said the Israeli military “has been instructed and knows that in order to achieve all of its goals, this man absolutely should not continue to exist.”The U.S. State Department announced new vetting requirements on June 18, including social media screening for all student visa applicants. While student visa interviews—previously paused as the government reviewed its visa policy—have resumed, applicants will now be expected to set their social media profiles to “public” to allow screening by U.S. diplomatic officials. Failure to do so could be interpreted as an effort to conceal certain online activity.

Our Global Head of Fixed Income Research & Public Policy Strategy, Michael Zezas, shares the answers to clients' top U.S. policy questions from Morgan Stanley's Japan Investor Summit.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Michael Zezas: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michael Zezas, Morgan Stanley's Global Head of Fixed Income Research & Public Policy Strategy. Today, takeaways from our Japan Investor Summit. It's Wednesday, May 28th at 10:30am in New York. Last week, I attended our Japan Investor Summit in Tokyo: Two full days of panels on key investment themes and one-on-one meetings with clients from all parts of the Morgan Stanley franchise. During the meeting, Morgan Stanley Research launched its mid year economics and market strategy outlooks. So needless to say there was a healthy dialogue on investment strategy over those 48 hours. And I want to share what were the most frequent questions I received and, of course, our answers to those questions. As you could guess, U.S. tariff policy was a key focus. Could tariffs re-escalate? Or was the worst behind us; and if so, could investors set aside their concerns about the U.S. economy? It's a complicated issue so accordingly our answer is nuanced. On the one hand, the current state of play is mostly aligned where we thought tariff policy would be by end of year. It's just arrived much earlier. Higher overall U.S. tariffs with a skew toward higher tariffs on China relative to the rest of world, as the U.S. has less common ground with them and thus greater challenges in reaching a trade agreement with China in a timely manner. So that might imply we've arrived at the end point. But we think that's too simple of a way for investors to think about it. First there's plenty of potential for escalation from current levels as part of ongoing negotiations. And even if it's only temporary it could affect markets. Second, and perhaps more importantly, even though the U.S. cutting tariffs on China from very high levels recently brought down the effective tariff rate, it's still considerably higher than where we started the year. So one's market outlook will still have to account for the pressures of tariffs, which our economists translate into slower growth and higher recession risk this year. Another key concern – U.S. fiscal policy, and whether the U.S. would be embarking on a path to smaller deficits, in line with campaign promises. Or if the tax and spending bill making its way through Congress would keep that from happening. For investors we think it's most important to focus on the next year, because what happens beyond that is highly speculative. And we do not expect deficits to come down in the next year. Extending expiring tax cuts, and extending some new ones, albeit with some spending offsets, should modestly expand the deficit next year in our estimates; and some further deficit expansion should come from other factors baked into the budget, like higher interest payments. It's understandable these two questions came up, because we do think the answers are key to the outlook for markets. In particular, they inform some of the stronger views in our markets' outlook. For example, slower relative U.S. growth and the related potential for foreign investors to increasingly prefer their portfolios reflect their local currency should keep the U.S. dollar weakening – a key call our team started this year with and now continues. Another example, the shape of the U.S. Treasury yield curve. Higher deficits and the uncertainty about inflation caused by tariffs should make for a steeper yield curve. So while we expect U.S. Treasury yields to fall, making for good returns for high grade bonds including corporate credit, the better returns might be in shorter maturities. Thanks for listening.
