I know you developers are working on the Teach Mode and all, but the bug where we can’t use Midjourney because it’s under maintenance is hard to find or is it because it was put on the back burner.
Again thank you for all you do for this little device!!
I use it when driving around as an Uber driver to mark a location I want to remember, I’ll say “find me a restaurant near me” and it’s been able to find the location I just drove by, really cool tool that way.
Did you mean midjourney the AI photo generator? Or something else? I’m unsure of how a photo would help you find a place you drove by 
Sorry for being confusing. I just threw that in because it’s a positive thing, so I made it a paragraph of its own. I’m just missing the Midjourney connection we had for creating images.
If you look at connections on your settings page in the rabbithole (https://hole.rabbit.tech/connections), you’ll see that a number of services in connections are retiring and can be accessed using the LAM Playground.
This applies to:
Does this have to do with the fact that when you ask R1 to create an image, it says Midjourney is under maintenance? I was under the impression these were not the same. I believe Simon said this was a bug in one of the last updates that broke that Midjourney was under maintenance. I could be wrong here. I’ll try to see if I can get Simon to chime in. Not sure how to do that?
@simon : Can you please share your thoughts?
Here is Simon response, I forgot about it;

I wrote this in response to a similar query on Reddit, so I’ll repost here:
Hi, let me just clarify what’s happened.
The original connections version of Midjourney and Suno were made using the early version of LAM. When we built LAM Playground, that’s a much more advanced version of LAM, and it’s not backwards-compatible with the way the old connections system works.
We have retired some of the original connections, because they needed some work to get them functional again following some changes, and we decided that we’d rather put the effort into putting more resource into LAM Playground instead of continuing to work on the old system.
This is a much better approach mid and long term, but comes with some drawbacks in the short term.
Namely, although you can use any site you want with LAM Playground, we aren’t yet doing some of the things the old connections had - returning Midjourney images to device, and piping the Suno audio through to r1.
Both of these things are in progress - returning rich info from your Playground actions to r1, and piping through the audio. Expect to hear more on this soon.
Once those things are in place, that makes the old connections system redundant, and not only can you use those specific examples (Midjourney, Suno) to do generative images and audio, but any service you want.
Hope that clears things up a little bit.
It’s definitely suboptimal that there’s currently this in-between period, and ideally the old connections would have worked until we implemented the entire new stack, but the nature of software means there’s always tradeoffs. Had we continued to prop up the old connections system, it takes away resource from building the new one. And ultimately, the new one will be much, much better - and won’t require you to be at your computer.
I have tried using LAM Playground to log into Midjourney, going through Discord and their new web-based address. It gets stuck, and I can’t log in. So, are you saying that to get Midjourney images back on the r1, we have to now go through LAM Playground? It seems like a regression to me. Am I the only one who can’t log in? This was one of the very good features of r1. LAM Playground, I understand is growing, but it seems a way off option.
