you know, i dont know. i assume both? i am in this group called 'fitness nerds' sorta a new take on it I guess. anyway. theyre really really mad.
Posted this elsewhere seems relevant to this discussion: "...As far as ethics, i don't think those three have ever worked on a project together, making the resulting images more a piece of my soul than it is a piece of theirs. THEY should pay ME if they want to use them)."
First they came for factory workers, and I said nothing because I wasn't a factory worker
Then they came for the grocery store clerks, and I said nothing because I wasn't a grocery store clerk
yes, exactly this. only - its a wonder, not a bad thing. i think the courts will figure this all out and they will stop.
Then they came for artists, and it turns out nobody really actually cared
Frankly I find most of these discussions surprisingly small minded. I think it's a fascinating surprise that artists end up being the first whose job is in danger, but have you guys seen chat GPT yet? Tech support, banking, real estate, and many other industries are going to evaporate this year. Artists will be soon forgotten.
I'm an architectural technologist, my job is basically to take the buildings that architects make and turn them into the plans that get submitted to the city
That job is going to be out, very soon
yes!! I asked it to code me "Hello World" in C and it did it instantly! then i told it to design me a home in the suburbs in washington DC and it did it for me!
As soon as autodesk introduces a feature into revit that allows you to generate high quality blueprints, millions of technologists are fucked
I think this will create a new age for the military as well.
My friend has been having it right batch files for him for Windows, troubleshooting the error messages for hours... The world is changing my dudes. We just got the front seat.
Do /not/ let these things control missiles
IDC how safe it is I've seen terminator you'll never change my mind about this
ahahahha oh yeah...
i was thinking more battle strategy
feed in a military commander, and the ai will tell you how to beat them
this morning I asked it to give me a script that would number all the files in a folder sequentially using powershell
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT SKYNET WAS
I would have, prior, spent hours trying to do that myself, I can't code
Fair enough, but I would argue universal basic income, and other stop Gap economic measures should be at the tip of everybody's tongue right now. Many very smart people have seen this coming for a long time and tried to warn us.
GPT just went "here you go"
I think we're on a knife's edge
We either go Blade Runner, or we go Star Trek
Global economic collapse is a very real (arguably at this point inevitable) possiblity.
We're already slowly churning our way towards it
Feels a bit like the sky is on fire, and 99% of the human race thinks "there's a chance of rain"... 🤦🏽♂️
AI isn't going to replace my job tomorrow
I agree. everything is about to change in the next few years. and like has been said - we have front row seats. its going to be crazy when we can just spend our lives with computers handling everything for us. its a very real, palpable thing now.
But in 5 years, it's a real possibility
We used to think "Imagine if we had an AI that could..."
Well, we do now
lol. im going to learn how to use it to replace my job. then i can be on top.
At this rate, in 5 years, Alpha Centuri is a real possibility...
It's all about the part that comes after the "..." that needs to be implemented, and that's just a waiting game
That's my plan too
hola
Bonjour
Nothing this big has ever happened, and nothing has ever happened this fast. That is an awe-inspiring, and deeply terrifying combination.
what model is best for painted "arcane-lie" styles?
There's literally an Arcane one on Huggingface
its' the only way moving forward. learn how to maintain and use it, then you can work with it.
ok
For my job, someone needs to check the output and verify it
I'll shoot to be that guy
Who knows 5 years is a long time maybe I train my own AI on how to make blueprints
For now. The first jobs to go will be those with the highest stakes. Medicine, real estate, banking, government.... When people make mistakes in those, lives and fortunes are lost. The moment people can be replaced with something that doesn't make mistakes, there will be no discussion.
Agreed
It also makes financial sense
For businesses at least
At that's what drives innovation
"it was the best of times, it was the worst of times..."
small businesses can be started and run by just a single person, too. It can take all the legwork, while the owner manages and handles things.
Or 0 persons.
It was the...BLURST OF TIMES?! STUPID MONKEY!
Not sure what this is referencing, but I've seen enough Futurama and such to imagine a monkey on a typewriter...? Lol
Its a knifs edge for sure, but never have we seen stakes like this. On the one side we have utopia, on the other potentially extinction. Fascinating.
You're close!
And at this point, it seems we've slept through our chance to be the deciding factor. Our leaders failed to listen to our smart people, and here we are at the precipice. I hope luck is on our side, because we don't deserve Utopia frankly.
That's very nihilistic
Honestly, I don't think we can make predictions
All of our examples are of the past, through the lens of pre-AI times
We're in totally uncharted waters
I have little of my own thinking to offer on the subject, just a summary of what I've gathered from much smarter people who have been shouting from the rooftops for a long time
agree.
There will be pushback from everyone. People will want to cling to the old way of life. They will fight and fight over it and try to dismantle the new system. but they won't stop it.
and when technology makes their lives easier, and helps them live to 150 years old, people will stop complaining.
It has been obvious for some time that economic devastation was the only foreseeable outcome of this kind of technology, with extreme concentration of wealth at the top, and global poverty. There are things we could have done to prepare, but we didn't. No nihilism intended, just observation. Though I do think nihilism is appropriate here.
Cancer
When AI develops a reliable treatment for cancer, that's when the public will accept it fully
That's what I think
All 7 of them who can afford it
There will be that too. The wealthiest will hold all the cards. But I don't think it will be like that forever.
For this reason, I would argue Emad is the most important individual ive seen in my life. His words, combined with his actions, are one hell of a great start. Arguably more work on fixing this problem then everyone else combined as far as I can tell.
AI will turn those tables. I'm working on an article called "The Rise of the Mega-Creator" which will address how the narrative is about to shift from big studios to smaller ones
This is good because all these big companies are putting out is remakes of old stuff
He's a public figure, man
if AI is released completely open sourced, there is a lot mroe chance for humanity, I think.
The mega creator will bring back true creativity. We all miss Lord of the rings, star wars...etc
The mega creator will bring back the media we all love through real creative expression ❤️
That's doing a huge disservice to the people who invented the machine learning algorithms that built openAI, the people who developed the training sets, the team behind openai
There's a ton of people who contributed to get to where we are now
Emad is just the figurehead right now
I still can't open an "Open"AI account over a year into trying. They don't like my phone number. Good enough for banks and governments, not for them.
But to say "most important", there's a lot of people working very hard to do very important research in the field
Sorry, responded to the wrong chat
Imagine if the next thirty years of entertainment is actually gold and not utter processed soulless bollocks that no one actually cares about, but hears about nonetheless.
Concepts will drive the future of our media I think
I don't mean to take anything from them. But most of them did not play a direct role in the fact that there are 20,000 of Us online right now on this discard
Not specific movies, but generic concepts of movies
Yep! It's coming.. I'm starting a blog thatll fill more people in with the shift. Too many people think AI is a replacement when in actually it's an augmentation. The only thing we'll be replacing is bad media. 💎
you can make an entire film filled with whatever cast you want - for essentially free. Once the tech improves a little bit, I am going to try hahaha.
I mean, it seems intellectually dishonest to insist it is either when it is clearly both.
There is already a podcast written by gpt3, made by tortoise TTS, and published entirely without human intervention.
I would like to now is possible with SD make old drawings to remake it in photography? Please I have many old drawings from my grandfather I would like to make it real. I would like if someone try it and write tm step by step how to do it. This is photo, on of it.
I hope media doesn't become too personalized and only for one's self specifically.
I agree. Respect. ❤️
But a replacement of labor is actually an augmentation of ideas. Labor takes away from the creative process.
Use 1.5 inpainting checkpoint, turn up "conditinal masking strength" setting. Even the single word "photo" for a prompt might surprise you.
Or it can turn into westworld. chatgpt is pretty good at the distinctions average humans hard to grasp.
Here im taking it in the opposite direction, but it should illustrate the power of the method
I want a PITCH FORK EMOJI and fire
What is the nest to write in Negativ and positiv prompot? and turn up "conditinal masking strength" - I put number 1 is that ok?
Has anyone managed to diffuse the stable yet?
Agree completely, except this does the "idea" part too. Some of the best images I've made were result of completely random script I put together.
There's no doubt it is also the most powerful tool artists have ever had, but I think that aspect pales in comparison to its ability to completely replace them.
I believe that setting works backwards, so zero is actually full strength, the higher you go above zero the less it will lock in the original composition
i AM Here to PROTEST
Fixed it syntaxes error on my end

For negative prompts, you might try "drawing, illustration, sketch" etc...
Thx I will try now\
Any one know if Colab has been fixed for training as I ran into this last night to report it and others are now reporting the same issue. "RuntimeError: indices should be either on cpu or on the same device as the indexed tensor (cpu)"
how do you download it
For 1.5?
Never tried 1.5 this is for 2.0 then tried 2.1.
I suspect yes, since that is a python error/complaint.
I ran to train on 2.0 last night from the previous night so nothing on my end had been changed and BANG the error. I deleted the notebook and started fresh on 2.1 and the same error
Hm.
Guys, what actually is Latent Nothing in Auto1111?
What Colab is it?
Hi! Could someone point me to a dreambooth setup guide? I'd like to run it on my own laptop
I have a question. When I do a batch of img2img using depthmap mask script ti loads and unloads model for each image. That makes the batch way slower, like 3-4 times slower than not using the deptmap. Is that intended or a bug, and can I fix it in someway?
Mine is free, others pro.
You can learn more about #🔧|finetune here. There are also a lot of great videos on YT as well
Thanks!
Np
Hi all
What is a good resource for finding checkpoints? I want good landscape, buildinh, and object checkpoints, but can't find many
👋 How are you?
I suggest that you try #📝|prompting-help
thanks
First 🙂 that said, you can try embeddings. And you can check #🔧|finetune
embeddings? I don't really know how any of this works yet
As well as #1010577817907503104
Embeddings are textual inversion
You can learn more about this on Huggingface, etc: https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/training/text_inversion
I am using dreambooth in automatic1111. Is it possible to train the model to ultimately render images that are in different positions? Is it a matter of how many images I used to train the model?
No matter what I put in the prompt I get an image with the man in a photo portrait position i.e just facing forward.
What model would you use to imitate this style? https://www.instagram.com/strawmaryarts/?igshid=YTY2NzY3YTc%3D
Doing good. You?
You mean you want the face you're using to be viewed from a different angle?
Tbh, really tired. Laughs But such is life. What are you up to?
Yes or if I input "standing man", "man looking up at the stars" for an image of a man to be rendered with my models face. Is that possible?
There really don't seem to be many checkpoint repositories I can find
There are way more models than checkpoints
Well using SD now since some weeks, mainly img2img and for human characters (see my pfp). Now iam fighting with some animals that I want to Aify, also img2img only shitty results. Searching for good model etc. Can anyone help?
Yes. But you should make sure the images you use have varying angles. You should have closeups, body shots, etc
Use different lighting, etc, as this will help.
Models are checkpoints
But they don't come as checkpoint files
There's various types of files, many of which can be converted
There's models and embeddings
What about animals?
I see. What about repositories that have a lot of stuff as well as a checkpoint, like the studio ghibli one on huggingface?
Here are examples of textual inversion: https://huggingface.co/spaces/sd-concepts-library/stable-diffusion-conceptualizer
I find the best results tend to be with the style that fits the embedding.
I'm not looking for styles though, but actual objects. For example, I have one model that only really is good with people, but can't generate anything else. If I if I want to generate an image of a building, object, landscape, etc. there's nothing it can really do
You can do that with textual inversion. If you didn't have a chance to read the link I posted earlier, I encourage you to learn about textual inversion, fine tuning, their differences, and what they mean.
Fine tuning is a lot more involved.
You can combine models and embeddings together.
There's the core problem where, say I wanted to generate photorealistic images of a space station and only have an anime person checkpoint, I don't think textual inversion can fix that
SD 2.0 just came out, so there's a lot of stuff that's for 1.5 and previous versions.
You would need a completely diferent model
There are many ways you could go about creating that.
I want to make animals look real, out of an cartoonish animal init)
Your first bet is to learn about prompting in general. This can give you an understanding about how prompting works so you understand how to prompt a space station. You can learn about that in #📝|prompting-help
I encourage you to play around with words like "space station, photorealistic" and see what happens.
Why are you so against helping me figure out where to find models? Good prompts won't help when your base model is completely wrong
You can also upload an image as a base, and use this to help create whatever image you want as well.
I don't have a base image for everything I want to make
or even most things
Is there a generic model or something? That could be a start
Like I said
?
You can probably any additional models (you might like) in the sections above. However, you can probably still create what you need even with the base models of 2.0 or 1.5 just by understanding the fundamentals of using SD. If you can't, you can use both models and embeddings to get what you need. Creating models (or downloading them, installing them) can be a lengthy process. It takes time to learn how to use them.
You might find what you need in #1010577817907503104
I don't know where to get any models
Or #🔧|finetune
I just installed automatic 1111 and got the Anything anime model
Because that's all I could find
That wasn't hyperspecific
Have you done any prompting at all?
Only on the anime model
And if I want something that isn't an anime girl then I'm out of luck
Okay, so, what I am trying to tell you is that the base model of SD, 2.0 or 1.5 can probably create what you need already. Does that make sense?
how important is xformers for Auto1111? I'm trying to run 2.1 for the first time
Guys I am having the weirdest issue. I trained a model on my face in 2.1 (same dataset in 1.5 works flawlessly), and my trained prompt isn't working on auto1111. It works 100% as expected and generates my face in the preview of the trainer, but not on my local client
It's so weird, does anyone have any clue why?
And to be more specific it works to generate images, I have the right yaml setup, it just isn't of me, or sometimes of even a person at all
What I'm trying to ask is where do I get that
We have a bot right now, and you can test SD 2.0. I just prompted that.
Getting what you want out of SD is more than just downloading a model. You have to understand the key words--what to the AI to create to create your image.
Understanding this is key to getting good images, regardless
"So far, only the 768-v-ema.ckpt and 512-base-ema.ckpt models are supported." So does this mean any models trained on top of 2.1 are currently unsopported?
oh my god are you a bot?
If that's the case I can be patient haha
thank you
That's the official 2.0
How do I use this with automatic 1111?
And here are the checkpoints, but you will need to agree to the ToS and you'll need an account:
find the a11111 fork that works with sd 2.0
good luck 
someones probably posted it here somewhere some time ago
i didnt save the link myself
why do I keep getting an error with my web gui of Auto1111 everytime I try to load a new model
Oh this might solve my issue too
No I mean there are no checkpoints, how do you use that at all?
Does it allow custom 2.0 models?
The main branch says only base 2.0 models are supported
Does the main branch not work with it?
https://huggingface.co/stabilityai go here and scroll down to the "models" section
select the one you want
then go to the "files and versions" tab and download everthing probably
you need a huggingface account + agree to the model's TOS tho
I have a huggingface account for my work already, but I'll just use git regardless lol
Omg I need to start saving links in a notepad myself 🤣 I keep typing in everything manually
That's the 2 base
As for using it with Automatic, there's tutorials on YT, so I suggest checking that out
I'm sorry. I meant to respond to you!
And yes, you can already do that.
I actually have an embedding for 1.5 for that; it's on HuggingFace, but you can also check out my documentation here:
SD, A GUIDE FORTISTS AND NON-ARTISTS, Vol. l IN-DEPTH TIPS, TRICKS, TUTORIALS AND MORE Last updated 12/2/2022 By: Atypical Consortium / Sunny: Be grateful for the life that you have. ALL LINKS CAN NOW BE FOUND ON MY CARRD HERE: https://atypicalconsortium.carrd.co/ be sure to scroll for ...
It also has the link/info
Training isn't working at all?
It's just making random nonsense when you load it?
Can u help?
Yeah! Like I said, you can use my embedding, or the prompts that are in my document, etc.
Or if you have a specific animal, sure, I can test a prompt.
Yeah it's just loading nonsense
Like, I type picture of ((redw04)), and instead of a picture of me it generates like a car, or a bridge, or just whatever
Well, you've ascended, naturally.
But I know it works, I created the model on huggingface
Lol
And on huggingface they have a "generate preview" button
Which does, in fact, generate a picture of me
🤔
So it's an auto1111 thing
I've heard of a lot of problems with that in the past few days
I checked earlier this morning and I know a lot of people are having issues, so I imagine that it'll be worked on
Yeah, if it's a software problem I can just be patient and wait for smart people to fix it
I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a config issue on my end
Thanks for confirming 🙂 I'll stick with 1.5 for now anyways, it looks great
If it works in Colab, etc, then....
Hey guys - I am new to stable diffusion. I played around with dall-e when it first came out and just now checking out SD after seeing everyone using this Lensa AI app to generate cool avatars that look like them with SD in the background.
@trim heart Waves Welcome to SD!
Thanks! I've been playing around with the dream studio, trying to figure out how to set this up locally
How would I go about doing something similar to those lensa AI avatars locally - getting stable diffusion to generate images based on a set of my own selfies? Is there a guide to this?
This is how I feel lol. But I would just check back later, maybe?
Oh sorry, where to find?
It's a fairly big process, but you can do this through Dreambooth, etc. We have a section about this very thing called #🔧|finetune There are a lot of tutorials on YT, too, about it
They're in the document, kind of at the beginning, under embeddings
Can use Textual Inversion
ah sweet.. I'll comb through those messages. What would be the best guide (or video if I have to) to get started? I just ordered a new 4080 gpu to run stable diffusion lol
but looking at those msgs seems like I need an industrial scale GPU Lol
Hahaha, yeah, a lot of people are doing that.
But you can actually use Colab.
Etc.
And Colab Pro is just $10 a month and I train all the time with it lol
So I mean, it's not even that big of a deal, really.
yeah - there are a lot of options for low-cost (though usually not free) GPU access
i want to protest
ah thanks. Yeah, not too worried about the gpu access
where is emad when i when i want to protest 😔
@bleak matrix can you pls point me to the guides to get started? You've been very helpful; thanks
laughs What is it you wanted to protest?
For Dreambooth?
dreambooth bleeding again
Im outside of stability A.i headquaters protesting
im throwing rocks on the windows
using pebbles
yeah any of them really, I'm a total noob to this field but I'm proficient with python / coding lol
it's just overwhelming trying to see a guide because everyone is suggesting something different lol
if bleeding doesnt get fixed, then @trim heart is gonna pay the price
anyone has troubles with drawing a portrait of single person in 1024px resolution? In my case it always draw multiple persons :s
$2
like what's a midjourney? What's a hugging face? is dreambooth the go to ui?
just trying to learn this before my wife makes me bankrupt trying to keep generating the perfect ai avatar on those paid apps 🙂
diddy just google Dreambooth tutorial on Youtube
youll find the free colab tutorials now
you wont get it prefect perfect unless you work on it... the ai avatar apps, its a lot of quantity over quality
midjorney better in quality of complex images, but with proper setup SD with merged checkpoints can give fine tuned results
you get a lot of nice good onces with bad ones... but you wont get a perfect one
WHICH IS WHY IM PROTESTING
i WANT A PITCH FORK EMOJI
check just #🏞|general-with-images
Pebbles. What about cake?
When it comes to faces
with cake I AM MAKING A RUCKUS
Okay....this is.............................................ADVICE FROM ME.
which may or may not be great advice
considering how I do things, this may or may not be a great idea. You have been warned
But usually, when it comes to doing faces, you really want to capture as much as possible. IF you're using your own face
you want at least, well, 15-20 images.
To start.
Me, however.
.............................
Uh. My latest training.
You mean that furrpopasthetic? It is for animal?
Just under 300.
Yes.
LOL 300
These are just from my own art.
Pieces.
LOL
But the more images you have with different lighting and backgrounds, the better it goes. Make different expressions. Use body shots.
Make different poses.
Basically, get out a camera, have someone take pictures of you, or whatever, and use different lighting conditions. Get all different kinds of angles.
SD.....................at least previous versions.
Again..................this is based on my advice only
Likes faces from the front. A lot.
However, that doesn't mean it won't do it from the side or whatever. It will. Absolutely.
You can read both of my volumes/documents for what I'm working on/doing if you want to see what I'm doing,.
I do have some of the stuff/tips I'm working on, but I'm not done writing it.
You can test it on Huggingface, if you want, but my document has the prompts that I found the most useful for 1.4/1.5. It works really well for real animals, too, so if you put in a particular breed, it should work nicely if you like that style.
And you can use it with the phrases as well for extra cuteness.
thanks this is super helpful. So basically once I have a set of images to train, then I just load up dreambooth and run the training function or whatever with the appropriate parameters?
Basically, that's the jist of it.
I haven't looked at any recent YT videos, so I don't know what one is the most recent/the best.
ok that's fine i've got the gist of it
so what's the need to use google colab vs running it locally?
Is it that we tend to run out video ram locally but google colab offers more?
You'll need lots of images. (Regularization images, etc, too.)
Colab is because of VRAM, yeah. Time. Cost. Whatever.
but the 10/mo tier only offers like 16 gb ram right? So do you end up paying for a much higher tier/
I don't remember lol. It used to be that you could get a A100. NO LONGER.
Tesla T4 is what I get
ok and if we run locally and run out of video memory is there a workaround? Can you do train on smaller set of images and then combine them later or something?
I have 455 images of various persons, like 25 persons. And, i used dreambooth, with 1e-6 learning rate, batch count 1. 40000 steps. Problem is that 25 persons are good, after training, but all other faces and functionalities of SD2.1 model, are messed up. i tried also , 20000 steps and 2e-6. same thing happend, any advices ?
Yeah, you can use smaller images. Use lower steps. I mean, I can't guarantee anything, to be frank, because I'm not smart enough to 110% answer that LOL
I have in theory a new (retail gaming) gpu that should be like 3x faster than a tesla t4 with same ram lol
Yeah
I was thinking about getting something
Colab is fine, though tbh
lol
Define "messed up."
Ok, after finetune with my images, original prompt: "a professional photography of an astronaut riding horse" returns some weird mexican riding funky horse 😄
Are you using Automatics?
@bleak matrix one more question - what is huggingface and do I need to use it in some aspect?
Huggingface is necessary to download the model checkpoints
Hello everybody 🙂 What are the steps to train an AI for placing tattoos on bodies? I had very good results just generating tattoos by training an art style from photos, but it's pretty random on what bodypart they are placed, size, etc. I would like to place them on people I also generated. Is that possible? similar issue, if creating jewelry, I would like to use a specific art style to do the ornaments. How would I approach this?
You need an account to agree to the ToS
yes
There's also a lot of cool stuff on HF like embeddings (textual inversion) and model checkpoints from the community, etc
Whelp. Unfortunately, I can't tell you what's wrong. I can only tell you that you're not the only one
Anyone use dreambooth in automatic1111? Did they just change it?
Np!
I will train until I get perfection 🤣
i done same with 1.5, same exact settings in dreambooth, and it did change original model, but just slightly, but now with V2 its just unusable...
I have not gotten around to it yet
Yet being a key word
But I have seen some cool stuff

you know, i really wish there were some consistency between AI models and modules. it makes it extremely hard to learn and practice at this stuff if the tools and results and outputs are ever changing.
imagine if every time photoshop put out a new update or you installed a new addon, every tool changed locations, names, and function in drastic and fundamental ways such that you pretty much have to relearn how to use the whole program.
that's kind of what "learning" AI art feels like...
hey
this bot is so powerful its crazy
dreambot?
yeah
agreed
i was playing around with it and its extremely inspirational
ai is honestly extremely powerful i wouldnt be surprised if it usurps entire careers within the next few generations
such as designers and artists of any sorts, creative endeavours entirely which is quite the scare considering what im planning to do with my life
hm
I don't think ai will replace entire careers
well
actually
it depends what career
artists, probably not
At the same time though, humans are the ones who made these AIs and are also the ones using them, also people with skill in terms of painting, drawing, photoshopping, etc, they are the ones who can get the most out of an AI generated image, either by expanding the idea/concept through a drawing/painting or by even drawing over the original image and refinishing it.
Any engineers here that can train stable diffusion models to produce a certain style of art? I'm hiring for a project right now $2k starting
must also have some experience with Shopify
How does one get in touch with emad, or where to submit a ticket about SAI?
If anyone wants to help out on an e-commerce project involving stable diffusion and make some money apply to my job posting on UpWork https://www.upwork.com/jobs/~014a52ec9e8c9aa492
EMA weights for image generation: https://twitter.com/iScienceLuvr/status/1601011140934664193
No offense, but you should update your basic project description as stable diffusion is not a GAN, and good luck with that budget
it also sounds a bit suicidal lol
Yo
how do I upscale in Auto1111?
yo can u invite sd bot to ur server?
if so , how
I'm using webui. I have a very low resolution image of a person (very old flipphone photo). I want to use AI to make it high-res again, even if it takes some creative liberties, as long as the face is recognizable. I tried img2img with denoising 0.1, prompt "photo of a man", SD Upscale scriptESRGAN_4x, but the output is also blurry and arguably worse.
during prompting, or any image in general?
the former, by going to img2img, go down to Scripts, and select SD Upscale. The latter, by going to Extras tab.
Don't do restore face. do .05 on loopback. tell the prompt "Restored flipphone photo of xxxx" high sampling rate, keep your height and width either the 512 or 768 depending which version you are on. I usually do high cfg for restored photos. i have an example of one I tried from early 1900's and I think it turned out great.
Is there an online tool to drop images of a person and get back the busy headshots and fill body shots to train a model?
also you can try upscaling at 0 denoising just to get a larger picture. if you have a larger pixel range then the ai will have more to work with
@bitter laurel got less recognizable between loops 1 and 4. I set Denoising to 0.05, and loopback "Denoising strength change factor" to 1, is that right? Do I just keep generating a few until I get good results, like with txt2img? Really the face is the most important thing I want to restore.
doubling sampling rate, switched to Euler, and trying again
send it to a lower amount, or do something like .01 with loopback. remember, you can get something that is slightly better, and send it back through the machine as many times as you want. i usually do a batch of 4 for these types of things so i can pick the best
nah doesnt even look like the same person
OK
thanks for the advice, I'll keep trying with this
Is there a colab notebook for DB and 2.x 768?
does free Colab give you enough access to train a DB?
like can you pause training and resume the next day when you have more access?
during prompting, but during text2img
does anyone know which channel do i go to ask for help on image prompts?
cause i am trying to generate a portrait image for my game character but cannot get the AI to generate at a certain pose
nvm, found my solution https://replicate.com/methexis-inc/img2prompt
Hello
@sudden marlin @tight quartz Is this project related to The E.T. Experiment?
@oblique elm Are you asking if StabilityAI was involved as a tool that they used for content?
As in affiliation? Not that I'm aware of, however the circle of people and enthusiasts involved with projects like that have a lot of overlap. I wouldn't be surprised if some people here also helped assist in some way. As of an Official collaboration, I don't think so.
Upon further inspection, they do seem to reference Stable Diffusion as an opensource tool they've utilized.
Ok thanks. The ET Experiment is an AI Nft as well which was minted yesterday.
And it has linked StabilityAI on its website, so thought I would ask
I think they're linking SD as a means of "this tool was used for".
Oh cool
Thanks for the info
Also, I just arrived here. Can u tell me briefly about your project, StabilityAI?
hey where can I learn more about training. I am using only the 768 default model with the automatic1111 colab. Need something new to try 🙂
you guys know of any other upscalers that is like the ESRGAN-ANIME ?
@oblique elm #1014939219904450590 is a good resource. Reach out to us if you get stuck. The community is over 100k deep, so there's lots of supporting members alongside you.
@brave kestrel #🔧|finetune
Ok great. Thanks
Hey guys, is there somewhere I could learn about how to train a text based model for something?
I have Kobold, I just need resources for how to provide training data for text, similar to how I provide training data for a model for stable diffusion
If anyone has anything I'd very much appreciate it
is dreambot using v2.1?
Anyone know how to fix this when merging models? AssertionError: Bad dimensions for merged layer model.diffusion_model.input_blocks.1.1.transformer_blocks.0.attn2.to_k.weight: A=torch.Size([320, 768]), B=torch.Size([320, 1024])
i dont know what this means
Per default, the attention operation of the model is evaluated at full precision when xformers is not installed.
can I just not activate xformers on the startup with the webgui and it will work better? or do i have to uninstall it
gmn chat!
why
finetuning... i want a method to for training multiple subjects in dreambooth without bleeding :(, i want the perfect model
that has everything i want

so diffusion models dont have a latent vector describing each creation, right. wheras GAN's and VAE's do
a diffusoin model output is described uniquely by: input (noise or image) + text embedding
I wonder if anyone has tried combining the two, i.e. train a GAN or VAE on a specific hting like characters or vehicles - at low resolution - then use that as input to "Img2img"
benefit being able to precisely control variations through a latent space vector
someone in a thread was talking about how they wanted concept art to be tweakable, when you generate from noise it isn't quite as controllable
(i know SD runs in an internal VAE's latent space but I dont think that is doing this job, its more like an altenrate image representation. )
That leads me to ask if there are VAE's or Gans sutiable to retrain for this exact purpose
VAE's are probably better because they are 2 way right, (GANs would need yet another net)
is it advisable to set sampling steps to max 150 for better result?
Good morning, everyone! I'd like to let you know drinking two health shakes in a dream when you're thirsty and still being thirsty is incredibly unsatisfying🤣
How can I help?
If you guys didn't see it yet, somebody trained an SD model on the simpsons, and he linked two extremely interesting articles on how to caption your training images and train styles with it: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/zghkj0/new_dreambooth_model_the_simpsons/
can't wait to try it out
Do you guys know of a model based around video game art? and I meant 3d modern game art.
what kind of modern game art do you mean? I often see prompts containing blender, raytracing etc. for looks you might like.
ah... is there a specific model for that, or do I use redshift?
not sure if you need a model for that, just the right prompt might do. you can explore this on lexica.art
Also, how do you get a character created in AI, and have that very specific character be in other generations?
How old is hugging face how did i never heard of them untill stable diffusion came
I only knew GitHub
Hi, I am using midJourney v4 from huggingface in Automatic1111
The results are not quite good...
Do I missing something?
Has anyone found any way to access inpainting controls in the dream studio web editor on iOS? I have tried every app I can find that forces desktop view but no matter what I do I cannot find a way to force it to display the full editor that is available on desktop. Even when using in widescreen on iPad Pro
or~ is anyone aware of an ios implementation of stable diffusion that allows inpainting/masking? I have the Draw Things app which is brilliantly thought out however it is so slow to work with because it runs locally on hardware rather that via the stability api
No; IME even my typical 80 is wild overkill; it’s usually effective to start lower and then increase if you’re getting blurry results
so what is the effective value?
Depends on the prompt, really
You can already do game art; check out #📝|prompting-help
Also, is it possible to create a dreambooth model out of one freaking image?
(Reason: I wanted to create multiple versions of a character I have extensively made in Stable Diffusion in different scenarios)
I’m using mostly 80 because I’m a masochist sometimes, but you usually can get a sense of a prompt by 40 or so and then re-render the same seed at higher steps if you want. Of course, that’s not the most efficient for bot users, but they should be using fewer steps anyway
no exif entries found???? help!
Can anyone confirm if the price for Distilled Diffusion will be lower because it runs faster? @wise stratus? I have an idea that only works if the price is even lower than it currently is. Thanks
Check out https://youtu.be/XjObqq6we4U
Does someone know, what makes midjourneys model different from normal stable diffusion? Are they like a separate model that they've trained themselves unrelated? Or did they just train on top of stable diffusion? Or is there really no extra training at all and it's all on what happens in the post-processing of the image?
I'm just trying to understand how it seems like they've managed to reach a really good point where image generation has a lot of coherency way more often than not... Even when you choose their stylized settings those images come out with a lot of coherency and I'm wondering if that's related to extra training or some post-process
Don't think anyone knows what they are. But most likely their own model
By the way I should probably preface, this isn't a comparison between stable diffusion and mid journey.. I'm well aware that you can achieve coherency with stable diffusion just fine, And I'm aware of the pros and cons of both.. It's strictly related to exactly what I said there above
Yeah it's so hard to tell, I've come really close to generating some of the images I created on mid journey using stable diffusion
But there's some wizard of Oz behind the curtains shit going on there
Because I can't seem to get results that I can say okay I've produced an image exactly like one that I produced on mid journey
would that also work for the costume?
And multiprompt that they have there I don't know if there's an equivalent of that on automatic or invoke AI
Or am I on my own on that one?
Depends on the training images. If they all have the same outfit, it should include in the outputs
even if it's just a single image?
Or do I have to apply the spline to the costume also?
Well, you need multiple images. That video describes how to use a single image to make more variations.
Yeah I think this would be the way to go
How do I go about doing splines for the costume?
same video and image combo, except do it full body?
I think so. I havent actually tried it, but as I understand it the thin spline model can animate more than faces
Okay so I spent all day creating a hypernetwork (I've also done this in dreambooth). Made a fantastic hypernetwork for my friends face...
Go to settings.... Select the hypernetwork I made....
Go to text2image... Type: Myname as a demon.
And am getting just absolutely terrible results. Like it can't possibly by using my photographic looking hypernetwork to come up with this right? What setting have I missed?!
I'm getting cartoon results. Pictures of cookies... etc... or entirely different races or genders.
Do you know of a Colab for Thin Spline for free? Or what is the system requirements for thin spline?
Hello, can someone explain me how to upload a picture I have and do outpainting with it?
I think in that video they use colab to do the thin spline model too. So it should run on modest hardware. If it can run stable diffusion, it can probably run thin spline
well, therein lies a problem. That colab can only be run on pro versions because of the RAM requirements.
For dream studio? I was able to get it to work, but the results aren't great.
thoughts about gfpgan vs codeformer?
personally, ive generally had better results with codeformer if the face already looked ok-ish whereas gfpgan has turned some potato-quality faces into decent ones.
sometimes i mix-and-matched them, but overall codeformer seems to be loads better at restoring the faces in greater detail and a bit more realistic
Is there a good "dictionary" or list of negative prompts to use?
Can someone EIL5 the difference between hypernetwork and embedding? I understand embeddings and have used them before, but I don't know when/how/why to use a hypernetwork (in addition to embedding; one or other; etc)
Anyone else consider making an IG account for their SD art? Will be separate from my main account, obviously
Yeah there's a lot of them now
But it's still very early, go make a name for yourself 👍
lol
I figure it will be like 80-90% generated art and 10-20% my own drawings
That way I can finally keep it active somehow
Don't care about the money actually, but it will be fun to finally use IG for something
I need to set one up so I'm not spamming my friends with them lol
i dont like 2.0 color and results 1.5 ws better for me anyone else?
how do I install xformers to auto1111?
did you add it to the command args?
how do I do that?>
Are you on windows?
for windows, find and edit the "webui-user.bat" (root folder of auto1111), on the "set COMMANDLINE_ARGS" line, update it to add " --xformers", so it should look like below (there is a extra space after = and before -)
set COMMANDLINE_ARGS= --xformers
hey, someone has a guide to make actually good images? what settings to use etc
thanks so muich
hey it said it couldnt recognize the command
ooooh wait
does this mean it's correct?: Launching Web UI with arguments: --xformers
I just woke up and know zero code lol. what a combination
Less steps less price. Will be like 50-100 images for 1 cent when optimised a bit
About 100x faster and cheaper than DALLE2
We reduced dreamstudio pricing for a standard image 80% last week I think.
Now 5 images for 1 cent.
Did go on record saying our target was 100 images for 1 cent by turn of year
when we will get AMD support?
slowly but surely learning this stuff
Guys, sorry for kinda bringing this polemic subject, but what your opinions about this video
It's about SD 2.1
if I use the local stable diffusion is it free?
My opinion is that it is 21 minutes long and there is not a little text summarizing it, so I don't think I'll check it....
Yes....Unless you wanna take in to account the hardware cost and the energy cost, but...yes
thank you brah
Summary: Basically he was saying that he was really upset about 2.1 and it's minor improvement over 2.0
Thanks for the Summary. I think that 2.1 was supposed to be a minor improvement... So, I would agree with him on that.
is there any guide on how to work with this stuff?
I watch all of his videos, but he was really critical in this one, I still haven't tried 2.1 so I don't know much about it
I don't think the energy cost is much different from playing a recent game, for example
I think that there is some links gor guides on the StableDiffusion subreddit, not sure if we can link guides here (?)
Yep, correct
Unless if you train, I don't know how much energy you spend training
Anyway, about this, I suggest that you try 2.0 and 2.1
The only thing keeping me from installing these new models is storage actually 😅 I have too many models and too much space occupied
I mean... everyone has their own opinion... I think that 2.0 and 2.1 are better for photorealism, but 1.4/1.5 worked well with easier prompts, and were "aesthetically better",, or at least it was faster to get something pretty.... Or that's what I feel.
yeah, that's what it should say
Anyway I would say that most of the backslash from 2.0 came from the NSFW thingy, and... well, that's just how it is. I'm happy that they keep releasing things 😄
why do I see prompts with "artstation" and "cgi society winner"?
@wise stratusAny info on the issue I found?
It's a day by day thing!
It's fun to learn, though. The more I learn, the better I get. It's fun!
You mean installation or prompting?
Nope, we are waiting for the one from Stability 🔥
How can I use SD to get img2img style results like this? Sort of like the stereotypical dreaming ai style https://dream.ai/create
what is the right place to download stable defusion to use locally
You guys think there'll ever be a open source version of chat gpt like sd?
Check Youtube "install stable diffusion local"
ChatGPT is actually really good, it helped me with my Java programming course today. I'm really impressed because I only needed to copy paste my program and asked it why it behaved badly, it responded with exactly what I needed to know to solve the problem. This could replace Google if it was free.
Yeah, it solved one of my python shenanigans today as well. 🤖 😂
I hope so, imagine having the answers to all your questions without internet or anything, could be really helpful in war and things like that.
When AI can end wars, but we can't. Would be interesting.
Yeah, people are creating prepping devices that run on solar power battery. They don't have a GPU though but if you had to hide from civilisation or something then you maybe have the time to do it with CPU power, and I think these text to text algorithms use less GPU than text to image (but I'm not sure).
At this rate what Elon Musk said about us inevitably needing to merge with AI may become a reality, probably sooner than some may expect too.
How would I go about training arcane diffusion with a 3d model I made?
Also using auto1111
Yeah, the rate at which this is going is unbelievable. Btw; this was the prepping computer that I talked about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYNI-ibq7aM It would be really nice to have some AI in there which could be good in dangerous situations. And yes, it could probably help in wars, like in Ukraine when the power is out or internet is down.
a) fuck musk b) it'll most likely be a process of enhancing humans rather than "merging with AI", which is just fantastical word salad
Basically, transhumanism.
Yarp.
Everyone was afraid that the AI would take over and we would be slaves, instead we become the AI.
eh, more like the AI became part of us. Someone could say "optical focus enhancement prosthetic" and you should hear "glasses".
@north stirrup True, but the boundary between us and the AI will become less and less pronounced the more capable the AI becomes.
I don't think you're wrong to say that, but I think it's too vague to be entirely falsifiable
@north stirrup I guess it depends on how much value we assign to the physical body.
what is the "boundary" right now?
I'd say "AI is a tool and not a part of the 'self' currently"
I think the boundary right now is computational speed, memory restrictions, that it isn't realtime, etc.
I hope AI stays as a TOOL too. I never felt even remotely comfortable with straight up Cyberpunk styled AI.
Yeah, it's a tool right now, but how could we distinguish it if we had a video avatar and if it passes the turing test? We could talk to it in realtime and it would respond to us. It's in the future but I believe it is coming. The only difference then would be to put it in a robot and we would have something indistinguishable from us.
Or put it in our brain.
the Turing test is a lower bound; consider Searle's Chinese Room thought experiment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room
Yeah, there will probably come a time where we have flat out proper androids, but man putting it in our brains would be something else. Scary, but interesting at the same time.
@north stirrup Indeed, we can't prove that it is conscious, I've given a lot of thought to this, but if we put it in our brain, like an enhancement, then it wouldn't really matter since it is sharing our fate. (no ethical problem of shutting it down, or personhood rights, etc.)
Neuralink + AI - a constant companion walking with you, giving you real time data on anything you want.
Putting it in our brain might be the moral thing to do.
neuralink == vapourware
if we put it in our brain, but it is sentient and sapient independently of us, how is that ethically distinguishable from putting another human brain into ours?
@north stirrup It would have to be intrinsically merged with our brain, it shouldn't have a independent mind.
yeah. imagine it forcing a political or ethical opinion on you.
Wouldn't be surprised to see that happen.
There is a risk, if does have a independent mind, that it takes over our brain and we become just a split personality in that mind.
yeah, and that is worrisome. a way to easily control... everyone.
I think, by the time we have the technology to make this happen, we would also know enough to have safeguards. I mean neuralink doesn't even have a GPU, it can do some very very basic AI to maybe play pong, or redirect signals to enable sight or cure paralysis, but not nearly enough to simulate a mind.
conceptually speaking, it has to be politically agnostic, morally agnostic, religiously agnostic, or else it stands a real risk of being far to influential. an AI should not be in charge of telling you who to worship, what political party is better, or how to think. it should only assist you in what you want to do.
@bitter laurel Yeah, fully agree! We should be able to instantly get any solution and understand it, but it should be purely objective.
i would love ais to develop in a form of emotional support for people with trouble socializing
i would love to make my ocs into real interactive cartoon animations that chat with me
It would be like when we grew up, suddenly everything just made more sense and we understood more. But we still had the same values.
@astral acorn Yeah, but I think that we would feel that there would always be something missing if it wasn't conscious. That it wasn't real somehow.
i know but real people get bored of me with time
i dont trust them anymore
maybe a robot can be faithful
Yeah, it can. So can your computer. But can it be meaningful?
Damn, no wonder that one dude in Japan married Hatsune Miku. lol
but imagine if she was more advanced
what if we can put the technology into doll
i make dolls
imagine them alive
uhhh... 
i would love to talk to my creations to be honest
give new life. that would be cool.
yes!!!!
i loved these fiction movies about that, and i wanted to build since i was a kid so
i imagine open world video games would be awesome. skyrim, but with real AI for example. someone just talks for hours about his day if you stop him.
this thing is fascinating as hell to me
@astral acorn Synthetic love isn't for me, maybe as a pleasure "toy"? Maybe as a way to practice socialising? But not as the real thing, if it wasn't conscious that is.
both
Well, I'm sure some of you have heard of Replika? Some people treat it as if it were real, to each their own on that one.
i want to bring my fictional loves to a vr app or a doll and interact with them
i have a kajiwoto and im trying to train it
@usoppsimp It would be really fun, and also as avatars in games. Sure I agree with @silver inlet that it's to each their own. But knowing that it doesn't really exist as a self-aware entity takes away all the love in it, for me.
when i was a kid i was alone in school due to rejection bc of my mental state so i started building dolls to make them my friends till today ,so someday i would like to help programing or building something for people that cannot make friends
i dont know what love is
VR or AI relationships run real risks of placing you in a fairy land like state. a moral support ai would be great - a therapist AI would be great, but creating the perfect partner, in my opinion, that is incredibly destructive behavior.
but for example imagine someone like me that literally bores people off...
at least something than nothing
some people just cant
you dont. not everyone. you have to cast a wider net.
@usoppsimp Sorry that you feel that way. Yeah, I can understand where you're coming from. I hope that you get to experience real love someday. I'm sure that there is someone out there just like you. We are all different and I don't think everybody will be bored by you. I mean just the fact that you make dolls and want to AI enable them is pretty interesting.
thank you. i would also love to buy a vr headset and have an ai husbando to talk and make my own characters and go on travels with them
i can also make 3d models
but they are lifeless...just carcasses for people to use in vrchat or just to pose, plain 3d models that arent alive
like dolls
i will end having the geppeto_ pinocchio relationship if that happened
@usoppsimp Yeah, that's how I feel about AI, they are just carcasses unless they have consciousness. It's just another step.
at least im happy fantasizing i think its what matters
even if its just a dream it can be better than sleeping all day
it can save lifes
i think
@usoppsimp Sure. I think so too.
Maybe it can be a stepping stone to real people.
but bots cant reject youç
bots cannot trigger your rejection trauma they cant be B A D
in purpose
You are so young. You have your life ahead of you. I really think you are going to be okay. Don't be so hard on yourself.
but im 20
@usoppsimp Unfortunately the real thing comes with risks. Which is why it might be good as a therapy to first deal with AI where those things doesn't happen. But reality isn't without risk and isn't without hurt. But at least it's real.
im late here i spent my whole teen years alone building my stuff
i want to learn to make bots
im so happy i can train a robot and imagine its a person drawing for me
i love stable diffusion
it reminds me of when i get birthday gift fanart of my characters
it makes me SO HAPPY
so i keep generating artwork of usopp
I'm about 15 years older than you, so from my perspective, you are still a child.
I have faced a lot of pain and rejection. And I loved every bit of it. Pain grows you. Don't run away from it. Learn to love it.
Yeah, me too, I wouldn't have been the same without the pain and I like what I am now. It's not all good but it's what my life has lead up to.
tbh the only think i like is the skill i developed
The gym taught me to love it. The gym is awesome. IT tells you what you are, not what you hope to be. It doesnt lie to you, or play favorites. Rich or poor, you pick up the weights and it doesnt matter.
is a copying mechanism
but my copying mechanism is cuddling dolls and drawing things that does not exist
this si why im been obsessed with fiction
its THE ONLY thing i enjoy
A hobby that makes you happy.
yeah it makes me happy
i hope the person who made stable diffusion has a sucessful life
And it has lead you here 🙂
with every pain there is a great opportunity. It's not a coping mechanism. Your body craves dopamine, that sweet escape. Every time you run, you get a little hit.
I love fantasy. I love fictional art. It's wonderful. there is nothing wrong with that.
i crave begging to watch movies with my family lal
but i like cartoon
and they dont LOL
I'm a car enthusiast and a speed demon, cars and writing stories is what makes me comfortable. When I'm uptight, I SAFELY....ahem....go out and roar my engine.
cars gyms and dolls
interesting
with dolls i mean uuhhh
LIFE SIZED DYI ABOMINATIONS

There's an AI chatbot place where you can chat with pretty intelligent bots, but I can't remember what it's called..
@midnight crane CharacterAi? https://beta.character.ai/
@haughty sentinel Yeah, that's probably it!
chai?
oooo??
No, it was beta.character.ai 🙂
IMMA CHECK IT THANK
No problem 🙂
I made some characters on it, it's super smart
Yeah, I was impressed by it!
I wouldn't be surprised if it's using some of the tech like in chatGPT
Yeah, I think so too, but I think it's based on GPT-3.
and ChatGPT is GPT3.5 right?
Yeah, it's GPT-3 but fine-tuned for chat, some people call it 3.5 but I don't know if it is official. But if they release the API for chatGPT the chat characters will probably evolve!
Does anybody have link to colab that can also train/TEXTUAL INVERSION
TheLastBen has a collab that can train on SD 2.1: https://colab.research.google.com/github/TheLastBen/fast-stable-diffusion/blob/main/fast-DreamBooth.ipynb
If that was what you were looking for.
I hope Dreambooth for Automatic1111 can train on SD 2.1 soon. I only get errors when I try.
Thanks, It desires hugging face link for 2.1? Do you perhaps have it?

hello does any one have tips for making better backgrounds when dealing with headshots.
I get a lot of backgrounds that are very plain, it would be cool to have something in the background
What’s the difference between textual inversion, hypernetworks, and embedding?
For some reason I can't train embedding or hypernetwork with the latest AUtomatic repo. Anyone experiencing a similar situation?
The Unstable Diffusion Kickstarter was just launched for training a more art focused model that also includes NSFW content: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/unstablediffusion/unstable-diffusion-unrestricted-ai-art-powered-by-the-crowd
Regardless of how you feel about NSFW, I would really love to see other groups releasing major SD models alongside Stability AI, so hopefully this heralds a new era!
Actual death threats towards AI artists on r/StableDiffusion right now: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/zeizyj/battle_of_the_sams_which_samdoesarts_model_does/
They are that desparate of losing their jobs?
lol i just got the banhammer from a meme group for defending AI. First time in my life I was called a misogynist! So yeah, they're frothing at the mouth angry and all that.
Judging by the insult they called you, I know specifically the kind of people you are talking about
"Hey, you are just attacking people for defending it, maybe you should examine the evidence and think critically?"
literally the kind of behavior that makes them look bad.
ahh well. theres always a new meme group.
Let me try to guess, did they have stuff like "attack/helicopter" in their bio?
If this is the kind of people, then I know how you feel
asking a woman to think critically is misogynistic. I guess. You know.
lol actually yes - I am very stoically liberal so it came from left field.
Get it. Left. huahuahua
A lot of twitter artists have these characteristics, mainly these ones who criticize Ai art
How much bandwidth am I going to need when installing stable-diffusion-ui ?
model is 5 gigs. after that, and the repo download, nothing.
People will come with any excuse to criticize you these days, mainly on internet
It's really complicated
yeah. leave it on overnight.
I usually consider myself pretty good at not being a jerk - but in this case, she pulled the card to get me ejected from the conversation so she could win.
You are the opposite of me, anything I say, people for some reason, start analising my sentences in order to something to blame me, so I aways get into arguments, mainly on reddit 😅
Super compressed SD when
So basically I get in trouble almost everywhere on internet, it used to be worse when I was a teenager
But of course, that time most of it used to be my fault
Time to retire internetting interaction and become a passive spectator who just enjoys the popcorn.
"I can't go to bed.. someone on the internet is WRONG!"
😛
I do this during my "break" lol In the SD subreddit, when someone posts something about Samdoesarts, it's aways popcorn time
Like all addictions, sometimes it is best to just walk away. Otherwise it will, like any other addiction, consume you in the worst ways possible.
Also, I can run this if I have a Ryzen chip, right?
though - the guy sending an email was pretty childish. but wow - people are on a witchhunt right now. I totally blame the popularity of lensa, lmao
I really should do this, arguing in Internet sometimes ruins most of my day, because of the anger feeling, maybe I should stop using reddit. Here in Discord, for example, I am really calm for some reason lol
I wonder if it's because of the downvote buttom lol
It's the less dark mode shades...
I agree with you, the email was a pretty asshole move
🙂
The mental health benefits of dark mode lmao
I don't think there is any specific CPU requirements. AMD/INTEL or other...
I'm waiting for AI to intervein on posting... "Are you sure you want to publish this response, it seems like it may get you killed for submitting it?"
I don't have a GPU and people keep saying AMD chips seem to be giving problems for some UIs
As long as your drivers are all up to date, the CPU shouldn't matter for the GUI, just the lack of GPU acceleration or some specific on-board-video may be an issue, related to the UI.
I think they are saying AMD GPU's.. not CPUs
Maybe, but I read some stuff about the CPUs so thought it might be worth asking
For all I know, generation's gonna take me many minutes per picture
Always worth asking, but I have not heard anyone mention issues with his UI and AMD
SD likes multiple cores, so you may have an advantage with your AMD, vs an intel that only has 2-4-8 cores
A lot of AMDs have 16-32-64 cores
Math likes cores
Just not apple cores
😛
I'm not knowledgeable about any of this, but mine's a ryzen 3 2200G so I don't know
Best tip I can offer is do a few low-step count images and if one seed interests you... try that seed again with a higher step count for a longer render time... but not too long, because it can still change dramatically along the way. If you like that, try a higher step count again. (Or use a free online generator with that seed and faster processing on the server.)
Not great, but it has 4 cores 8 logical
it's on the upper side of most desktop intels cpus
not bad, for sure
That's helpful. Thanks!
I'll try these.
What free online generators are you talking about?
I like lexica.art
but there are others. You can browse prompts and create your own and test them out
It's better than trying to create things blindly. You can sort-of see what others got using similar prompts, before getting dirty with your own.
It's like a rabbit-hole of created art... one click leads to another to another to another, endlessly leading you away from reality
faster than digging holes yourself, most leading to nothing more than dirty hands and a pile of dirt to show for the efforts.
Thanks, I'll put this to work!
WTH?!? I can no longer train even a Hypernetwork on colab? Gives me a Loss: nan.
I trained one two days ago
Trying to do textual inversion and train an embedding, but it's trying to allocate almost 1 GiB of VRAM and I can't figure out how to make enough available
Out of curiosity (day dreaming at work it's slow af) is there a decent program out there that generates in between frames with ai?
Seems like a cool idea to speed up and process of doing traditional 2d animation and saving time and money
FILM etc
hi
Can you add all the promo art and official screenshots from the game Dreadnought to SD? I want to make some generated images of that game, but SD doesn’t have any idea what it should look like.
Trying to merge with weighted in automatic, tried other files too, ckpt and safetensor both. I've asked in tech but not very active now. I was hoping maybe someone in here knows what's going on?

I would to create an app in which user types about their business and logo designs are created for them, how can i use stable diffusion api to do that?
Does anyone know if it's possible to try chat gpt without selling your soul? Aka data-gathering and giving up your phone number/home address?
Does someone have good vid or smth that explains how SD base models are created?
im trying to run 2.1 locally but always get a black box, i have the yaml file and im using xformers. Does anyone know what i can do?
maybe my xformers arent installed properly? it is applying doggettx
using --force-enable-xformers fixed it for me
well maybe not, now it is extremely slow
how fast is usually 768x768 on 4GB vram?
is SD better than MJ now?
I don't think so; last I checked it still has plenty of ground to make up
But one thing MJ will never beat SD in is price
would I be able to train arcane diffusion v3 in thelastben's notebook, then download the ckpt (replacing the old), put it in my auto111 install and use it there?
I got the same problem on an old 1060. I already tried the 512x512 yesterday and after just 1 generation I got a cuda out of memory error. But today Automatic1111 got some updates. SD 2.1 should work if you have the latest version with the 512-model and right yaml-file. Make sure to add --lowvram in the .bat file.
thanks, will try that, also i think my xformers installation is screwed up, because it slows down the old model
I'm not using that at all. Maybe will give it a try later on.
I'm alright thanks. Still waking up lol
yo where can i post my ai anime art and look at others?
I feel you there
Somehow managed to make generative AI an actual strategic element in my game and I can't wait to see what emerges when I properly implement it
👋
Anyone got a link to get depth2mask working? I dont want to download the file if I cant even start the thing 🙂
Where dreambooth 8GB VRAM
Huh. I'm able to use V1.5 with the web ui, but version 2.1 gives errors. Do I need additional dependencies or is 2.x not compatible with the web ui?
There's a .yaml file you also need
See the top comment here https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/zf21db/stable_diffusion_21_announcement/
not, don't right-click download the Yaml. It will download as an html if you do that and won't work. Instead, copy the code, paste it in notepad, and save as .yaml
Thanks
is there a way to tell automatic1111 to use a custom list of seeds?
man
any chance of stable diffusion overtaking midjourney?
anyone here?!!
while playing with inpainting i just discovered that you can decensor most images very accurately 💀
i open up my midjourney gallary and use them as input images in SD just to guide it
Script > X/Y plot (at the bottom); set "X type" to "Seed", set "Y type" to "Nothing", put a comma-separated list of seeds in "X values"
U think it'll be able to handle 500+ seeds?
no idea
It might crap out on you trying to make a grid image for that
I'd probably check in the settings for if there's a way to disable generating the grid image and just generate the outputs
but I don't know offhand
Not if they keep neutering their bot like they did with 2.0. It’s a shame but MJ V4 is ages better than SD2.0
Only with 1.5, but yeah. Removes blur, pixelation, cloths...
Certainly if we get the 100x speed increase Emad hinted in the upcoming version, it might take midjourney a while to catch up to 20fps+ outputs...
Can you be morally sound in performing coitus with a pokemon?
You also cant train MJ, or work with depth info, or custom scripts, etc... But no doubt right now MJ makes prettier and more detailed images, no comparison.
could someone help me with a little problem im having? when i try to generate a promt i git this message RuntimeError: CUDA out of memory. Tried to allocate 576.00 MiB (GPU 0; 8.00 GiB total capacity; 5.58 GiB already allocated; 0 bytes free; 5.80 GiB reserved in total by PyTorch) If reserved memory is >> allocated memory try setting max_split_size_mb to avoid fragmentation. See documentation for Memory Management and PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF
but im not using my gpu for anything else
this is a problem sinds i updated to 2.1
There's a lot that can contribute to this, but for me the magic bullet was a setting in 1111 called something like "check vram use every __ seconds during generation". I changed from default of 8, up to 12. Suddenly instead of struggling to gen 512, now im outputting 1024 all day with all my background apps and browser tabs still open.... Good luck.
Ps, I'm also on 6gb 1660 ti running with --no-half etc...
thx for the input where can i find these settings?
Settings tab in 1111
im using a 3070, until just now is was doing 1536x1536 without issues
I'm a bit confused, so if the model is in hugging face already can I use it directly by like using the token keyword? for example this model here https://huggingface.co/IShallRiseAgain/StudioGhibli/blob/main/README.md, can i use the prompt that is on the Readme directly into the search bar for stable diffusion in hugging face
heh that's just the beginning! i just noticed that i have more than 80 Gb of crap that auto1111 put into my AppData\Local\Temp
that is, most likely auto1111 image browser, since they are mostly duplicates of my rendered images 🤦 and not like 2 duplicates - TENS of duplicates, OF EACH 🤦
Are you running xformers? Without it you must also be running --no-half (otherwise you would be getting black images for output). If you are now running --no-half that will use more vram
i am indeed running --no-half
I'm super new to this, similarly lets say I want to use this model https://huggingface.co/Theodora527/Amphibia-Diffusion/tree/main, how do I use this model?
and even tough it may use more vram i now can't even generate 512x512
Did you try "check vram usage..." setting i mentioned?
Right click LFS file and "save as" to WebUI folder into "models/stable diffusion" then refresh list in UI and selct it, and be sure to use the corresponding token.
Sorry, I said it worked for me, I don't claim to understand why or how. You might see if you can get xformers going, may help. There are also much more knowledgeable people around here. It's a bit old-fashioned, but if you haven't, you might also try rebooting lol, still does magic sometimes. 🤷🏽♂️
il try getting xformer running and il try to reboot for the 20th time XD
thx for the input
xformers is great; I didn't bother at first, then needed to install it to get 2.1 working, then my it/s roughly tripled after
Should at least give you a noticeable speed increase, once you figure the rest out
Wow, that much eh? What card..? Maybe its time i finally did too lol
whats the point in running SD on your own card? unless it allows NSFW then theres a good reason
You still have to compile it right? Probably 3 to 5 hours on my measly laptop? Lol
3080 Ti (12GB)
That. But also customization, custom models/scripts/training and much more...
ah yes i forgot about the fine tuning
It's not just fine tuning though. You can't really learn anything about this *until you lock a seed and run some XY grids. There's too much randomization to really figure out what's going on unless you adjust one variable at a time.
hmm. similar to a rendering engine.
if you want to get the best out of it you have to get a true feel for how it works
Not really. When you change the number of bounces in cycles for example, it's not going to suddenly make your character Asian lol
so its more unpredicatable than a rendering eingine
Totally different beast
but we want it predictable.
imagine a SD shader, instead of calculating the material it diffuses it
Papers are constantly being published and new techniques are being added to add control. There's DreamBooth, textual inversion, aesthetic gradients, image to image, conditional inpainting mask, depth to image, just to name a few.... This tech is barely in its infancy, wait until it actually learns to walk before reaching too many conclusions lol
how do I train with thelastben colab with a model like arcane diffusion. I have custom 3d character renders I made. I tried earlier today and when I provided the gdrive link in the corresponding cell, it said "no model loaded"
Thats true.
Maybe because it´s "free" and you can run it without an internet connection?
yea but its no more free than DreamStudio... the electricity bill would be higher on my end if i tried to run in on a GTX 1070
Also huge. I live out in the forest, internet is spotty and slow.
When it comes to sampling method, is Eulear a fine or should I switch to some of the other options?
This tech is great and all, and its advancing into many different fields of digital art... But why the heck do they have to choose Digital Art/graphics as the area to automate first... Rather than the manufacturing industry,? If an AI automated all manufacturing then we and corporations would have nearly limitless cheap energy and super cheap computers.. Instead we are going to take the jobs of most artists, and end up with an AI that can do super video games that nobody has time to enjoy because they are in a factory just trying to make enough money to survive
in the huggingface website? all I see is like regular download right clicking it just opens up the window for like open in new tab and stuff like that
of all the sectors we need AI the most in.. ART is the last place
There's a box to the right of the file name that says "lfs", that's what you need to right click
I don't think anyone suspected artists, creative writers, and cam girls to be the first ones out of a job. But don't worry, doctors, lawyers, bankers, real estate agents.... All on The chopping block this year.
If in that case most companies were to use AI instead of workers, the loss of employment would be brutal, and the population would have to drop drastically to monopolize the resources that will belong to a few companies (perhaps)
could well be.. i just think we need to get the order correct, otherwise the transition will be more brutal
i mean automating manufacturing would put a large % out of work.. But it would allow dirt cheap energy and goods... and the governments should be able to bankroll those people with just a small (very small ) UBI
Yes. Experts have been warning about this for many years. Governments have been nodding and smiling at the crazy people.
yep I do it on the lfs button it doesn't seem to work
Thats a new one to me. No idea
I think the top execs of places like Intel, NVIDIA, IBM etc just dont realize that if for example they could automate the mining of raw materials and manufacture of just cheap low quality solar pannels and the installation of them into power plants, then they would have absolutely dirt cheap electricity to run their super computers on.
Exactly
If they actually realized that they would not be so eager to automate and fund video games and Art AI.
Laywers and real estate ppl maybe but I don't have much info about how their workload is but def not doctors IMO, doctors will be the last to go, they will use AI as a tool for help but AI can't replace doctors atleast not in the next 5 years, source have relatives who are doctors
That's the problem though. We have failed to get the order right. The technology is here, the preparation is not.
Yes, but you forget about the possible corruption of the traditional energy companies that could finance them NOT to do this.
(maybe im wrong)
The plot thickens.
The future is terrifying.
I dont see how we avoid totalitarianism
All industries where mistakes are extremely expensive, expensive financially, or in lives/suffering will be the highest priority to eliminate humans from. Humans make mistakes. Humans get tired. Humans lose interest, and start thinking about something else. Humans are completely unsuitable for work in medicine, government, banking, or anywhere else where mistakes cannot be tolerated. We only use humans for those tasks because we don't have anything better, yet.
I agree I'm just saying tech is not there yet, i may be wrong but I did some AI stuff in undergrad, the progress has been insane, atleast the transformer models from just like a year ago so who knows if shit is gonna get even better, OPENAI is prolly the one who has the most power we will see in a few years I believe
A year ago SD was a bit of a joke. There was a very little reason to think it was anywhere close to being "there yet".
The way i see it going is if they can as OpenAI say "solve art" then they could apply the same template to other sectors and develop an AI to solve those as well
I agree progress is amazing so I may be fully wrong
btw i do need help doe lol how tf do i use models that are already trained in hugging face, or do i have to dowload the .cpt file and run it that way? bc the lfs right click thing is def not working for me
https://huggingface.co/IShallRiseAgain/StudioGhibli/blob/main/README.md if u are free can u try that, right clicking on it unless I'm doing it wrong
The economic implications are daunting enough, but what we're all ignoring is the 'black box' aspect. I'm afraid we are effectively about to make contact with an advanced alien race. When this happens, they may hold our hands into Utopia, or brush us out of the way. Either way we're not likely to even understand why. It won't be up to us.
Ckpt files go in the models folder. Your link works fine for me
I suspect I'm doing this wrong, I am guessing I need webGUI installed in my local PC?
Depends what you want to do. If you're going to run the collab version, you can direct it directly to the hugging face link
Are you looking for this?
https://github.com/automatic1111/stable-diffusion-webui
In a 1 to 1 image generation comparison there is no comparison right now, which is sad. Yes, SD does have more options and freedom. MJ is run by puritanical nutjobs.
That's like, your opinion, man.
You're not wrong, but SD 2.0 and even 2.1 are far more puritanical than MJ ever was
At least MJ knows what a nipple looks like lol
Manufacturing has been progressively automating for decades lol
I do get that vibe, yes, which is why I haven't used SD since the update.
Sad, really. I had extremely high hopes for the future of SD. Hopefully something will change and it will be back on track.
If not, it will die off soon, imo.
It is also true that 1.5 can easily go crazy places...
Yes, I have custom models and that is priceless.
UnstableDiffusion launched their Kickstarter yesterday, and they're on track to hit the goal today lol... 0.5 I was already released last night, and even in the middle of training, it's already pretty amazing...
but if the quality is lacking, that only goes so far tbh.
Ya I saw that. Haven't looked in to what they are doing yet but that is a good sign
Personally, I don't care about NSFW, but it should be an option for those that do. Quality is my major concern and these updates did not bring that to the table.
If F222 etc are any sign of what's possible, the future is bright. To my knowledge all those other models were done by one individual. Now this has a whole community behind it with $25k to start off... Patience is a virtue, and you don't need much rn...
I've seen some pretty amazing things from 2.1 quality wise. My very first generations were effectively indistinguishable from a photo. I'm not surprised to see stability and MJ and others work to keep the worst of the worst from getting in the headlines and stunting the whole industry
Is the model available now? Is that the F222 model?
what is the difference between running webui-user and webui?
Yup they just passed the funding goal
Nothing, webui-user is just: "call webui.bat"
"user" just gives you an extra file to customize with your settings without modifying the original in case you ever need it
idk to me it seems like "the worst of the worst" is a front to go ban crazy.
I forgot about this
Thers no doubt this tech can make images that would make most people very uncomfortable. I'm kind of surprised the media hasn't already gone nuts over this tbh.
No argument there. The political censorship with MJ is really where I drew the line.
Political images have already been banned by law in places within certain times of elections, kind of bizarre IMHO, are they going to ban hand-drawn political cartoons too? 🤷🏽♂️
