Engels, Frederick, socialist, born in Barmen on Nov. 28, 1820, the son of a well-to-do manufacturer. Took up commerce, but already at an early age began propagating radical and socialist ideas in newspaper articles and speeches. After working for some time as a clerk in Bremen and serving for one year as an army volunteer in Berlin in 1842, he went for two years to Manchester, where his father was co-owner of a cotton mill.
In 1844 he worked for the Deutsch-Französische Jahrbücher published by Arnold Ruge and Karl Marx in Paris. In 1844 he returned to Barmen and in 1845 addressed communist meetings organised by Moses Hess and Gustav K?ttgen in Elberfeld. Then, until 1848, he lived alternately in Brussels and Paris; in 1846 he joined, with Marx, the secret Communist League, a predecessor of the International, and represented the Paris communities at the two League congresses in London in 1847. On the League's instructions, he wrote, jointly with Marx, the Communist Manifesto addressed to the "working men of all countries", which was published shortly before the February revolution [1848] (a new edition appeared in Leipzig in 1872).
In 1848 and 1849 E. worked in Cologne for the Neue Rheinische Zeitung edited by Marx, and after its suppression he contributed, in 1850, to the Politisch-oekonomische Revue. He witnessed the uprisings in Elberfeld, the Palatinate and Baden and took part in the Baden-Palatinate campaign as aide-de-camp in Willich's volunteer corps. After the suppression of the Baden uprising E. returned as a refugee to England and re-entered his father's firm in Manchester in 1850.
He retired from business in 1869 and has lived in London since 1870. He assisted his friend Marx in providing support for the international labour movement, which arose in 1864, and in carrying on social-democratic propaganda. E. was Secretary for Italy, Spain and Portugal on the General Council of the International. He advocates Marxian communism in opposition to both "petty bourgeois" Proudhonist and nihilistic Bakuninist anarchism. His main work is The Condition of the Working-Class in England (Leipzig, 1845; new edition, Stuttgart, 1892), which, although one-sided, possesses undeniable scientific value. His Anti-Dühring is a polemic of considerable size (2nd ed. Zurich, 1886). E.'s other published works include Ludwig Feuerbach and the End of Classical German Philosophy (Stuttgart, 1888), The Origin of the Family Socialism: Utopian and Scientific (4th ed., Berlin, 1891). E. also published Vols 2 and 3 of Karl Marx's Capital and the 3rd and 4th editions of Vol. I, and contributed many articles to the Neue Zeit.

it wouldn't surprise me if craiyon blacklists certain names, but AI art generators just aren't necessarily that good at generating a particular person. it might work if the person is very famous and thus has a lot of photos online. I haven't used craiyon/DALL-E but I've used stable diffusion and it had a hard time even with some famous actors. often you have to use models that are specifically trained on images of that person to get good results
craiyon's training images were probably scraped a couple years ago, before Santos was a well-known public figure so there were probably a lot less photos of him back then. it's also likely to pick up images tagged with just "George" or just "Santos", which are both common names. wouldn't be as much of a problem with, say, Benedict Cumberbatch
I've had luck with putting stuff in double quotes to force the AI to give me that thing / person.
There are loads of photos of him. I'm certain his name as a term is blacklisted for that site. The way I use the site is that I open ~6 tabs and try to start them very quickly one after another. I tried a lot of simple
George Santos _________prompts - with and without double quotes with words like eating, laughing, talking, etc - and I didn't get a single image that even looked a bit like him. And that's weird because the use of notable people is fine with basic words / phrases. But usage is tightly controlled so you probably will get nothing good if you promptJoe Biden riding an alligatora million times. You'll get Biden or an alligator or maybe a guy riding an alligator.Can you train your own fork just on Santos and then stitch it in to the picture somehow?
Fork? I'm not sure what you mean. I use the free version of craiyon.com and as far as I know it's nearly brain dead. The only options available are...
What style: art, drawing, etc.
You can add negative words.
I have no idea what's included in the paid version.
