[tacit roost]

Will Stable Diffusion bring about a LLM like ChatGPT without moderating it to the point of being just another bot? Coz ChatGPT has been restricted so much in the past few days.

[fast oak]

hi

how i can use the bot ?

how i can make imagenes?

[chilly glacier]

do you speak spanish? te explico

[fast oak]

español

but i can english

[chilly glacier]

usando el comando / dream en los canales dreambot desde #1047760914008522782 a #1047760279267721236

[fast oak]

ok

amigo

y como puedo generar

con mi imagen algo?

osea con mi foto

[chilly glacier]

"/ dream" es todo junto

[fast oak]

ok

digamos quiero crear

[chilly glacier]

tambien con un comando pero dejame revisar

[fast oak]

algun efecto de cyberpunk pero que se vea 3D... como debo colocor

al final del escrito ?

para que quede con la mejor calidad

yo vengo de midjourney

[chilly glacier]

usando image_init y ahi aparece una opcion para subir la foto

[chilly glacier]

yo usaria "cyberpunk, 3d render, illustration"

[chilly glacier]

todo se veria asi "/ dream prompt:cyberpunk, 3d render, illustration image_init"

[fast oak]

osea pongo el link de mi foto al final ?

@chilly glacier

[chilly glacier]

al agregar image_init aparece esa ventanita para agregar la foto

[fast oak]

siva mi pana gracias dejame ver

[chilly glacier]

este resultado me dio usando la foto de una vaca, no muy bueno porque no describi la imagen, solo puse los adjetivos que te dije

este salio mejor al describir lo que habia en la imagen

[fast oak]

me salio muy basica won

[chilly glacier]

trata describiendo la imagen tambien tipo "man wearing a hat, futuristic city background"

lo bueno es que son generaciones gratuitas y puedes intentar varias palabras

[fast oak]

no tiene un limite ?

[chilly glacier]

ilimitado hasta nuevo aviso

es una forma de mejorar el modelo en comunidad

[cedar cargo]

hi I'm new

[chilly glacier]

hii welcome

[rugged surge]

Does anyone know any depository/list/video that has easily summarized and broken down how AI art actuallly works in an ELI5 way, or at least just clears up the misconceptions?
Just wondering, as a community Ive been following has been on the verge of banning it for "ethics" purposes.

[cosmic wedge]

Wow you guys are awesome

I love the artwork

[south thicket]

@pure estuary

The vocaloid side of the internet is one I've known for years, but I've never actually looked into it musically. I'm a musician myself and teach production at a local studio, and after having taken a deeper dive into vocaloid production (no doubt inspired by your incoherent rambling about Miku), I am thoroughly intrigued by the software, workflows and artists that are creating and fine-tuning artificial vocals. The Vocaloid plugin & voice packs seem to be the current industry-standard for altering existing voices or generating new ones, so I'll be picking that up to tinker with. I've not seen anyone in the HarmonAI discord attempt to recreate vocals - its all backing tracks and beats over there. My guess is vocals are further away - when language models and music models are combined. This may have already happened - I shall look further. I've yet to do any AI music gen myself, as I've been stuck on anime waifus (for obvious reasons). I'm eager to get proficient in AI music gen & vocaloid production before the two merge so I can participate in that change.

I also stumbled across this - a 17yr old producer making stellar vocaloid music. Figured with your unhealthy fixation on Miku, this might interest you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oxm99_3b230

Generated with a prompt taken by ChatGPT.

[dry dove]

Hello offtopic but can anyone help me? How can I enable sound on win 7 safe mode

[gray gale]

Honestly thats the kind of question i would definitly ask chatgpt nowadays for a clear and fast answer.

I have never heard of safe mode disabling sound so i would expect the normal sound mixer and the volume buttons on your keyboard to still work. If safemode itself doesn't have sound enabled then you will probably have to reboot into a different safemode (similar to safemode with internet, safemode with command prompt) I remember there are settings for safemode in "msconfig"

I am here to find information about this rumored conversation llm stabilityAI is working on but so far the only thing i found is someone asking the same question.

I am really curious if it will have the same code/scripting abilities because since using chatgpt my work has not been the same and i don't wanna go back living in the dark ages now that its nerfed and barely accessible. I really need something local and reliable

[chilly glacier]

did yall heard the prompt music generator based on stable diffusion? shits cool, this + distilled stable diffusion will be so great

https://www.riffusion.com/?&prompt=rnb+music+soul+the+weeknd+gospel&denoising=0.75&seedImageId=og_beat

[rapid gorge]

Weird observation: I've noticed that the single-word prompt "bump" produces exclusively either wedding-ish photos or interior design photos. Rather than...IDK, say, anything with a bump or anything bumpy.
(No intended usage for this prompt, just tried the word "randomly").

[limber yacht]

It's at least because services are not running ... services.msc → Multimedia Class Scheduler, Windows Audio, Windows Audio Endpoint Builder... But then "This service cannot be started in safe mode"...

Depending on your usecase, msconfig → diagnostic startup may be an alternative to safe mode that's useful to you. However, changes made by it can't really be reverted.

[icy vector]

do u wanna partner with https://www.seratio.com/home DM me ?

[rotund dust]

lmao

[chilly glacier]

people are so gullible 💀 i saw the comments and those artist were celebrating their "triumph" against ai-art

[rotund dust]

XD

[limber dove]

This is spreading pretty fast, the hate and negativity against AI art. People need to see the positive side of the technology instead of doing this but unfortunately that isn't happening.

[chilly glacier]

ai art is forcing them to improve, i saw some of them peoples art and they were the most amateur pics ive ever seen (today)

they can learn a lot with sd tbh

as a musician, i learned a lot with jukebox ai, it opened my mind to new ideas

and as someone who has naturally a good drawing skill SD its definitely helping me a lot

[limber dove]

Yes but only if they understand this. I know that it could be the best source for generating ideas, and if I was an artist with amazing drawing or designing skills, I know how useful AI could be for me and I would make unimaginable art pieces with the help of it.

[cold pebble]

Currently StableDiffusion is defiantly a tool that artists can still leverage to create even greater and novel works of art. And that should not be trivialized, or banned or censored.

What a lot of artists are upset about is that 2D digital high quality art is now ubiquitous and anybody can create it.

They also think that the AI stole their artwork, but i dont think that is true, i think the AI used their works for reference and studied the. And is recombining those ideas very similar to how any human artist does.

[analog jolt]

stolen art is really just an excuse, they would have the same problems if it had not trained on their stuff but could still create amazing art.
They are just afraid of losing their jobs at the end of the day, same as every other sector that has been replaced by new innovations throughout human history

[cold pebble]

i mostly agree. But when i think about it, when somebody uses SD to create art, they are really not in total control, they dont plan how the lighting is going to be or what type of light, or the color harmony, or the composition rules, they just churn out good stuff because the AI does it for them... And in that regard i can see why artist are annoyed, but they need to accept that the game has changed. Anyone can now create good 2D art

But theres nothing stopping artist from leveraging this AI as a tool and making something greater

Im working on something right now that leverages SD and goes further to create somethign that im going to sell on the market places

im just leveraging SD as a tool in my workflow

[analog jolt]

the best stuff made with ai still requires great artistic talent. Artists that have embraced it make a lot better art then your average user

[cold pebble]

That is true and i think its mostly down to their artistic vision or lack there of it

[analog jolt]

artists won't go anywhere, but the skill set might become different from today so it will probably be other people then the ones today. At least for some, and that's what they are really scared of

[cold pebble]

They should not be scared.. Because with art its not really about the skillset its about the vision, its about the idea that starts in mind, and the artist uses whatever tools avialalbe to reach that vision.

[chilly glacier]

they like using shocking words like "stolen" to gain sympathy, but SD just turned art (or images in general) into noise

and then turning that noise into images

[dark mulch]

Does anyone know any AI which can generate face rotations of a Generated image. For example I have generated a Face using SD, Now I want different angles of that face.

I tried searching but I found Below links but I don't know how to use them
https://github.com/SonDaoDuy/GAN-for-face-rotation

https://github.com/AbdielNie/GAN_Face-Rotation

[cold pebble]

probably the best route would be to apply the image as a texture to an already modeled 3D head in Blender. Then you could do whatever you want with it.

[dark mulch]

i dont know that software. i wish there was some AI to generate different angles

[woven oyster]

or the skill set stay the same, they just challenge you touch the pen

[woven oyster]

that remind me of this Artstation portfolio, this must be the cringest portfolio I ever seen

Art theft in 2030 gonna be guys trying to hack other guys's PC to find the prompt in their wordpad

[cold pebble]

my god, people are uploading artstation portfolios full of MJ or SD images... I can see how that would be a massive headache for employers.

[woven oyster]

you must see 3 days ago, a dude flood main page of Artstation with 200 pics of MJ images in one single time
yea, I guess that's why we have a protest now

[cold pebble]

lol their actual profiles will show software skills " discord, photoshop" and thats it.

[woven oyster]

damn, the first interview line in 2025 gonna be "have to touched the pen?"

[wind robin]

Just wait until an AI can gen a picture in .1s then generate an hours long video of it recreating that image in photoshop or krita or something

[woven oyster]

https://twitter.com/shizzywall/status/1601932721655525377/photo/1

you thought it haven't?

[wind robin]

I tried making an ai before that converted pictures to vector graphics and it turned out to be absolute garbage

I’m sure someone else could make it work though

[pure estuary]

!!!! which voca did you get? im a producer and singer as well so i often use them in my work and it's rly fun! its fun to even make them into some more intricately sound design stuff if you dont wanna box them in to only vocals or smth,,, lmk if you need or want any help,, maybe I can lend some to you after i've dusted the ol miku shrine of mine. Was on a plane most of yesterday, so just now saw this

Alright, which one of you did this?

[frigid needle]

S12 Image

That muscle are so flawless

Then the backdrop is S11, which just brighten oveylays

[south thicket]

@pure estuary I haven't picked it up yet - will start with the Vocaloid6+Megpoid bundle. Even before that, I want to watch tutorials and familiarize myself with the software so I have a better sense about it. I like the Japanese sound packs more than the English ones, so using them as sound design elements immediately crossed my mind - along with stringing together Japanese syllables that might make-up English sounds. If I could speak and write Japanese this wouldn't be a problem. Might get my sister's help with that

Once I'm seasoned on the tech, and if I start making any music going the vocaloid route I'll definitely hit you up for advice/collabs

[upbeat plinth]

That's true, the curious thing is how true it is for human consciousness in general. There's an assumption that you were free to choose what type of lighting to use in your painting, you chose a front light but you could've chosen a rim light instead, you chose complementary colors but you could've chosen monochromatic instead. But the seeming reality is all of these "choices" were caused by events that you had no control over. Where you were born, when, to what parents, your DNA, you didn't have control over any of that, yet it's the totality of what animates your "art". Anyway it's fucking weird but I guess what I'm trying to say is, nobody is in total control of anything.

[cold pebble]

i mostly agree but i think theres a different way of thinking about all of that. You listed some things that you say nobody can possibly chose such as parents and place of birth, however those encroach on areas that are considered paranormal or spiritual (not science.. yet) and there are reports of people no only having near death experiences or children totally recalling past lives, but also having chosen their parents before they re-incarnated... And on DNA science is now discovering epigenetics(the study of how behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work). And then there is crisper gene editing...

And when we talk about everyday choices, there is some science which you can consider, and that is quantum physics , the many worlds interpretation and the observer effect where by measuring or observing something causes a collapse of the quantum wave function and out of potential probabilities comes one definite reality. It's complicated by some scientists say that when we focus or think about something, if that reality has a pretty good chance of happening and its not too remote a chance there is a good chance the quantum wave-function will collapse to that event...

sorry to go all crazy deep philosophy and science on you.

you could call the above the law of attraction

[upbeat plinth]

Even all of that still fits within my view, but here's a simpler example. The next thing you think and do can only exist based on a totality of prior causes that you had no control over. I'm not arguing about anything on a quantum level, that shits weird but more than that human systems are many times more complex and appear to function in a deterministic fashion. Even if we consider randomness, that still wouldn't give you the free will to choose a different type of lighting in your painting, there is no will in randomness.

[cold pebble]

I think determinism does not stand up to testing, we have no theory of everything based on determinism, and we know that quantum physics is real, and that implies things like spooky action at a distance, the observer effect.. wave-particle duality and all the other quantum effects. im not a physicist so this is all just me trying to get my head around stuff i dont fully grasp and just my opinnion.

Also i dont believe the universe is random.. its extremely fine tuned by an intelligent designer to allow for carbon 13 to exist, stars to form and planets to form with carbon based life.. the odds of it being the way it is are off the charts totally insane.

[upbeat plinth]

Fair enough then, good talk

[cold pebble]

Roger Penrose calculated the odds at 10^10^123

Thats just the odds of the quarks in carbon 13 meeting 11 stipulations simultaneously allowing it to exist and stars to form

[upbeat plinth]

I'm not so invested in examining the nature of the universe, just the idea of total control in analogue art creation is funny to me

[cold pebble]

so basically the universe is not a random thing, its a carefully fine tuned machine

yea i dont think we are in full control, because we are part of the bigger system.

we are not seperate

[proper widget]

You've got that one backwards. We're only around to observe the universe happening to be fine-tuned for life because … it is in fact fine-tuned for life. Given some event, the likelihood of its prerequisite events is 1.

[cold pebble]

yes the anthropomorphic principle. And it relies on the idea there must be infinite other universes that cant support intelligent life

it i believe that with such odds of 1^10^123 that the universe is infact intelligently designed...

[proper widget]

where are those odds coming from?

[cold pebble]

Sir Roger Penrose

[proper widget]

OK, that's not really what I meant

[cold pebble]

This now tells us how precise the Creator's aim must have been: namely to an accuracy of one part in 10^10^123.

This is an extraordinary figure. One could not possibly even write the number down in full, in the ordinary denary notation: it would be 1' followed by 10^123 successive 0 's! Even if we were to write a `0' on each separate proton and on each separate neutron in the entire universe-and we could throw in all the other particles as well for good measure-we should fall far short of writing down the figure needed.

[proper widget]

I don't see how that isn't just blown out of the water by the anthropic principle

[cold pebble]

it is, if you are comfortable with the idea there are infinite other failed universes.

it's open to interpretation and belief i suppose

[proper widget]

there's no concrete evidence for multiple universes, and it really begs the question that other universes would be "failed"

[cold pebble]

The calculation of 10^10^123 was determining how fine tuned the constraints must be to even allow for the formation of stable stars.

that will ignite

[proper widget]

well, stable stars as we know them at least

[cold pebble]

yup, as we know them.

[proper widget]

Just … we're around to observe stars, so the "fine-tuning" is a priori

[cold pebble]

no way of really telling unless we had the compute power to simulate other univesrse evolutions with different parameters

[proper widget]

There are almost certainly others that could sustain forms of life

[cold pebble]

prove it. 🙂

[proper widget]

nah, that's firmly a hypothetical. Positivism demands evidence, and that's unfalsifiable for practical purposes

[cold pebble]

either way i think we are in one of the very few special universes that have the complexity to be able to observe themselves as it were, if you count humans as part of one entire system

[proper widget]

It's just … given an infinity of combinations of parameters, without evidence that most of that infinity is a wash, it's reasonable to suppose that some might match conditions we want

Yeah, that's reasonable, though you have to be careful about "special" because that can lead to magical thinking

[cold pebble]

yea but alter just one parameter and our universe cant support life

even altering the mass of a proton by a tiny degree or any of the forces

we need magical tinking... in order to progress and gain new science

if you know what i mean. imagination more important than knowledge

[proper widget]

Oh, it's a thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_thinking

[cold pebble]

does that no conflict with quantum non-locality?

[proper widget]

???

[cold pebble]

we dont actually know how entaglement works

the two particles could be light years apart but once we observe one then the other particle flips into the opposite polarity instnatly

[proper widget]

that's not how that works

[cold pebble]

but there is no actual science to say how they are connected

so we make up ideas like a higher dimension or hyperspace or some magical stuff thinking

[proper widget]

Repeat after me: there is zero evidence that information can be transmitted faster than light in a vacuum

[cold pebble]

yea but we get around that because no information is transmitted

you cant do anything useful with it its not even binary code

quantum entanglement is real

[proper widget]

right, just people ascribe a lot of bullshit to "quantum"

(Not a physicist, do know more than average)

[cold pebble]

but there is definitely some very interesting stuff going on when they design very complex experiemnts based on the double slit.. where by we see the act of measurement or even just looking at the experiment collapses the wave-function? right??

i dont think they ruled out the possibility of the observer effect...

you know theres that whole episode on PBS spacetime

[proper widget]

"Observation" happens because of the slits in the first place

[cold pebble]

but what im getting at is they tried to fool the experiment making ever more compelx ones

double slit is just the starting point.. very basic

[proper widget]

I haven't seen it, so I can't really judge, sorry

[cold pebble]

i seem to recall they did touch on the spooky type stuff like observe effect, and such

mind over matter....

magical thinking

There is room for that kind of stuff. but of course it needs to be a properly tested scientific theory

anywayy ive got to get going

[proper widget]

OK

have fun

[wind robin]

I like quantum so I’ll correct some things.
The slits in the double slit experiment do not cause observations. Otherwise there could be no interference pattern.

Second, quantum entanglement is really simple. It’s just reasoning backwards given a conservation law. Let’s do a pool analogy. Let’s say you hit a cue ball and now it has some momentum. Then you close your eyes, then after it collides with another you open your eyes again and see the new momentum of the cue ball. Even though you didn’t observe the other ball, you know its momentum by observing the difference in the cue’s momentum before and after and applying conservation of momentum

1930s musicians against recorded music

[rotund dust]

Holy crap I just thought of something, what if AI art haters go so far that it becomes the 'Cream - David Firth' video XD

[tropic copper]

most artists i know see this the technology with a welcome eye, what they don't like is greedy corpos trying to appropriate and sell them that technology, which is funny since most online agitators seem to be paid by those companies trying to corner that market for themselves and demonize the open source community, just use the name of artists to fuck artists and close yet another avenue of human creativity, they closed cinema and music already

and it seems drawing and any form of written text is next

oh well

[still harbor]

[terse sky]

the difference is that the product of todays artists is the dataset of inputs for art or large language models, and our concept of copyright can be considered in conflict with this use of the work. practically speaking though, the challenges will lose, and ai-produced work will be considered derivative work, not plagiarism or license violation. That is unless copyright is re-imagined with stricter limits.

I just discovered this thing called NVIDIA Canvas and it is really therapeutic to use. I made this really quickly.

Basically you paint with the materials

And it's super fast

[sage crow]

But you need an rtx 4080 minimum

Or something like that

Nvidia canvas is for people with money

And a decent gpu

No you don't

[vagrant sun]

My Daughter need a piece of software the do 3d modelling, of hand drawn text that ultimately will be rendered in a Plasticine style.
Please can anyone recommend a system to do it. I would have told her Sketch up ten years ago. But seemingly I am woefully out of date.

She has access to the PS suite but AFAIK that wont cut it.
Also we cant just use like automated tools like the Automatic1111 depth estimation because this is for her art course and she ha to do all the steps herself.
Simple depth estimation on a drawing will be considered "cheating"

[drifting basalt]

Does she have access to Adobe Illustrator? They enhanced their 3D tools this past year. Would something like this be sufficient?

https://youtu.be/G692BpY9TFk

[vagrant sun]

yes, thank you. Will check that out now ❤️

[woven oyster]

go pee for 2 mins
it's 2-2 now

[glacial turtle]

observing something means taking a measurement. that's the effect. to read something, you bounce something off it. at the quantum level, this has an effect. It's not magical. it's just makes the research very difficult, because simply watching what particles are doing means doing something to them with other particles or fields. no matter how complex experiments that try to observe particles directly are, there's always the problem that whatever you use to measure them affects them.

not that "we create reality through observation" hooey dooey

[cold pebble]

if we observe the quantum experiment just by watching it then we are co-creators of reality. our influence made the wavefunction collapse into a certain state?

butterfly effect? quantum effects propagating up into the macro scale of reality?

surely if a person has an intention, they can influence reality

[glacial turtle]

at a macro scale, it's not like that at all. conscious observation isn't what affects stuff. it's measureing a particle with a field or another particle, that changes it. This is happening all around us as energy transfers everywhere. It's a giant organized soup of chaos. There's no evidence that conscious thought is what "collapses a wave function". That's just hooey that new ageists use to sell books and dvds

[cold pebble]

i see your point, but by what you just stated you are implying that there is a solid line between quantum effects and macro scale effects, and that the mind is somehow closed off from the universe and cannot effect it

where is that line between quantum scale and classical scale

[glacial turtle]

no. that "line" is not solid. it's the giant chasm of unified field theory that's undefined still

[cold pebble]

so a lot of science that is yet to be defined and tested?

[glacial turtle]

roughly all of it

what we know is a fraction of a fraction

[cold pebble]

how can you rule out conscious thought affecting the collapse of the wave function?

[glacial turtle]

double blind tests

[cold pebble]

has it been properly tested in an unbiased repeatable experiment?

what tests?

[glacial turtle]

its more like you have to prove that consciuos thought has any affect. It may not be ruled out, you're right. Neither is mice running the world in secret. but to make that claim, it requires a solid rock of evidence to stand on

double blind tests where someone in a room is thinking about the test, while another is conducting the test, should produce some sort of results that indicate an affect

[cold pebble]

yes but the way you are stating that is to ridicule the hypothesis

[glacial turtle]

maybe they're just not thinking hard enough though right? it doesn't work while cameras are on or something

[cold pebble]

lets be scientific about it and not silly

[glacial turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/uri-geller-spoon-bending-psychic-stranger-things-telekinesis-gif-26027487

[cold pebble]

if scientists cant take it seriously then we are not going to have any proper testing to rule it out

you just said it has not been ruled out

[glacial turtle]

you're talking about conscious thought. how is my experiment not a serious approach to that research?

[cold pebble]

what experiemnt?

[glacial turtle]

the one i just defined that you called silly

[cold pebble]

sorry

oh right. yes but it sounds like something that has been done by a couple of scientists somehwere and then rule out

but heres the problem

[glacial turtle]

my point was, this test has been prepared for decades. It's ready to go. it always goes. it never works. thought just isn't measurable. Usually when people who really want to prove it can't, they make up reasonings like, "cameras were on" or other cheap excuses. the gif i posted was uri geller. a fraud from the 80s and 90s that was exposed by such tests

honestly the tests were probably considered centuries ago

[cold pebble]

Most people have had this expereience where they think of something, or a person, or have an intention, and then amazing coincidences happen as if that thought influenced their reality... This gives creedence to the idea of thought affecting reality

[glacial turtle]

defining what consciousness is has long been something science wants to do

[cold pebble]

so that double blind test you mentioned... it needs to be repeated all over the world extremely rigorously and seriously

[glacial turtle]

we always remember those amazing coincidences, but never the 10000th moments aroudn them that were just mundane chaos that didn't go our way

[cold pebble]

it cant just be dismissed and laughed at

[glacial turtle]

all the times we thought of someone and they didn't show up

[cold pebble]

thats another cheap way of dismissing it

[glacial turtle]

selection bias is a real thing and scientists have to remove that from any of their experiments

[cold pebble]

its not every moment that we have coherent thought and intention.. most of our life is meaningless random brain activity

so i cant really buy your explaination

[glacial turtle]

selection bias is a real problem and not just a "cheap way of dismissing it". removing biases is core to the scientific method

and it's the BIGGEST whale in the room when talking about scientific consciousness. Not even an elephant. a gigantic space whale

[cold pebble]

ok point taken.. but like i said, its not very often that we have such choherent thought or intention

so i dont think there are 10000 moments to dismiss

i would say there probably is a selection bias problem

[glacial turtle]

the mind is funny at convincing itself and self reinforcing. Everytime you think about someone showing up and it doesn't happen, you never dwell on the thought and reinforce it in yoru memory. selection bias in action

[cold pebble]

but i would not be so quick to dismiss thought influencing reality by collapsing qunatum waveforms or whatever the physics is

[glacial turtle]

I would

[cold pebble]

well ive had things happen to me that jsut blow your view out of the water

[glacial turtle]

If it was a thing measureable within our models and understandings, it would've been weaponized by now. Humans are really tenacious like that.

I've had some cool coincidences too and yeah. It's selection bias. Life is a miracle but science is serious business

[cold pebble]

i see events before they happen,, i know when serious events are going to unfold(somtimes) before they happen, i also have specific dreams of disasters,, (several per year) before they happen. AND it runs in my family

but you would dismiss this as a joke

[glacial turtle]

intuition is a good skill. what you're doing is guessing based on past events and how things are going. it's not prophetic visions. you're just good at guessing how a game will play out

you probably get a lot wrong a lot of the time but you never self congratulate yourself in those moments

[cold pebble]

no it wasnt that.. its like that movie sxith sense

when something flashes into your head

i do see your point though

[glacial turtle]

inner vision is somethign a lot of people have. most i've heard. i don't.. my inner mind is all dialog and auditory

[cold pebble]

our brains are powerful prediction computers

[glacial turtle]

aphantasia it's called. i'm mind blind

[cold pebble]

yes i heard of that

[glacial turtle]

yeah. you're the norm. peopel who don't see visions in their mind are the odd ones out

[cold pebble]

sometimes i think my visualizing skills are dimishing though

especially with all the time spent on a computer

[glacial turtle]

for me, my predictions come through like rambling thoughts . sort of like this guy

https://tenor.com/view/charlie-day-gif-18564553

[cold pebble]

🙂

its like GPT 3

but i dont think we can rule out the whole mind accecting reality stuff

because the mind is not isolated from the universe...

[glacial turtle]

i dont have full aphantasia though. i still do see blurs of images and such. now an then. it's definately not the primary mode though. i think of it like left or right handedness

[cold pebble]

but what about REM sleep dreams?

if you stayed up for days then tried going to sleep, you should see vivid images

from your brains lack of REM sleep that it needs

[glacial turtle]

vivid visual dreams about once every eyar or two. rare. weird. usually when i've ate oysters or something odd like that

i get rem.

[cold pebble]

i am lucky i guess with having vivid imagination

[glacial turtle]

dreams haven't even been proven to happen during rem. the only way to tell someone is dreaming is to wake them up in that moment, and ask. all stages of sleep have been found to have dreamers

[cold pebble]

i also automatically see all sound in my head

even speech

my minds eye is like winamp

[glacial turtle]

it really whips the llamas ass?

[cold pebble]

yep

[glacial turtle]

whupaw

[cold pebble]

actually with things like speech or lyrics i see the words like 3D text floating in my minds eye

some of the premonitions though, they are completely uncanny.

such as seeing in vivid detail a russian fighter jet crashing off the end of the carrier, and seeing it from like a go pro drones persepctive... then it happening in the news the next day

and all of my premonitions are of transport disasters..

mostly aircraft

i also saw a russian firefighting plane crash into a forest

my mother saw the space shuttle challenger blow up from the perspective of a school kid,, days before the launch,, and she told her friend about the bad dream

then that of course played out.

its like that movie minority report where they have peoples brains plugged into computers to predict crimes

When we get MRI machines that advanced, we can finally start putting things to the test.

What are y’all’s thoughts on 3D model ai generation?

[upper knot]

Surprised it isn't already happening at publishers like EA and Ubisoft that have millions of models in libraries.

Stuff like UV mapping should already be done mostly by AI

[lofty pumice]

Anyone using SD for non AI art use cases? I'm testing to see if it can be used to solve complex business problems.. Would love to hear other people's thoughts on how to apply this technology to other problems..

[noble cedar]

because midjourney has also taken artists work

besides, i personally dont believe in training AI with AI works

mainly cuz i think that AI generated imperfections will only multiply

like inbreeding

[bleak hull]

i kinda want to see what happens if we do that tho, i want to see the horrors

[ancient stratus]

how my parents see the future of ai generation

complete apocalypse, nothing will be real anymore, and everything just turns dystopian somehow

[wise sedge]

Gen Z in 2060:
"Back in my day, we paid $10 just to watch a movie, not generate it from scratch!"

[wind robin]

training AI on AI is a way to destroy the model's knowledge. It's fine if your goal is to compress a model or otherwise make a smaller version, but it shouldn't be used for actual main training

Hi

[daring coral]

Merry Christmas @lofty bolt and community: https://ecardai.com/c/q3e2ymLpraXWhXM4. Built a little Santa greetings service with Stable Diffusion in the back. Thanks for open-sourcing such a beautiful piece of technology 🙏❤️

[last token]

Greetings fellow tech enthusiast! I am seeking a collaborator to launch a platform utilizing a Stable Diffusion, which is capable of producing hyperrealistic images given any text input. Our goal is to surpass lexica.ai in terms of autonomous creativity. If you are interested in discussing this ambitious project further, please do not hesitate to reach out.

[winter salmon]

Ladies and gentlemen, Presenting you my generated 2minutespaper introduction to stable diffusion for manga artstyle

[fast oak]

There's a bunch of people on twitter already trying to claim ai art in general is just art theft. Is it though? Which ai? All of them work differently.

[winter salmon]

They just panicked, imagine 1 customer comission is equals to 25$ only for headshot or half upper body. And that even for anime-less drawing. I saw many artists claim this is anime art style but for me naah. Even manhua and manhwa still better

[proper widget]

That depends on perspective. In general most of the “AI” is latent diffusion, all the same basic tech. Latent diffusion is ultimately statistical; it finds common features across thousands/millions of images and then uses those patterns to “denoise” random noise

No individual art is “stolen”

[fast oak]

I don't understand how anime is related (talking to jack). From what I understand, there are people getting confused and thinking every image ai is automatically art theft because it can sample stuff from existing sources. I mean, would that make remixes and rap theft? How about parody? While those things are still created manually and not generated from something that does all the hard work for you, that is not the whole purpose of it. It's a constantly developing thing that gets smarter and learns things. It can be incredibly useful to create assets for yourself to create a bigger thing that you can do manually, which is what I use it for. Not everyone has the materials required to make the art they want. Some artists contribute to ai. nobody does any research.

[leaden zinc]

Can't fight the mindless mob.

[stable trail]

Hey, I was curious to know which website the images used to train the AI come from.
Does anyone knows ?

[whole current]

they use a LAION dataset

which is basically a consolidation of images around the internet like an open source google image search

1913 newspaper advertisement
“A picture is worth a thousand words” originates with the famed Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. He was quoted saying the following: A thousand words leave not the same deep impression as does a single deed. It’s clear that this quote portrays much of what the idiom “a picture is worth a thousand words” does today.

@woeful ivy Hi Sage, I hope you enjoyed the holidays and everything. Anyways, we had a discussion about you on the NAI server and regardless of your workload now, we still love you and you'll always be a NAI dev!
I hope you got a needed break from carrying Stability in the last few months, it was really fun and confusing to see you take on the SD announcements and responsibilities. I am super happy to follow you along with your career progression from the past year, it's been absolutely awesome seeing you go places I never imagined you going, all because you really liked modules.
Anyways, I wish you the best of luck in the New Year's, and hopefully still stay in touch, even though you probably a big cheese now. 🙂
Sincerely,

am I the only one bothred by the constant attempt of painting women as lesser or as victims? That they've been forgotten and placed a to the sidel when what really happened? Their ideas sucked and venture capitalists didnt want to invest. now they're beeing pressured to annd would rather pull ou

[fast oak]

Man 😭

[glacial turtle]

this might be a case of seeing what you're looking for. i don't think theres a constant attempt. there's also quite another edge to the whole "women" topic. Many people focus on the whole "women are useless and that's the real issue" trope that comes out of toxic masculine culture. If anything, i think that's the more constant barrage. But i grew up drowning in misogyny, so maybe i just see what i'm looking for.

[rough arch]

Nah, I was more saying that maybe most people suck and there just happened to be more men than women there so fewer women ended up being picked but the same amount sucked

I dunno though. I dislike rushing to anwers before I've comfortably arrived at once and yet it's a failing of mine to do that a lot

I live in a country/region very used to the highest degree of equality in the world though, so maybe I take it ffor grnted

[wild tinsel]

Does this look like a good choice for a desktop system tailored for Stable Diffusion? https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/geforce-rtx-4070-ti/

[glacial turtle]

if you're aiming for stable diffusion, gaming features don't matter. all that matters is memory bank. the 70ti will likely have 10 or 12gb. you'll want more. The most you can get. 24gb if you can manage

looks like 12gb. 16 is better. 24 ideal. more even better

[wild tinsel]

Thanks! So what Video Card would you recommend? Am I right that each card comes with one preset amount of VRAM?

[glacial turtle]

Yeah you can't upgrade a card's memory. you buy a whole new card. i wanted a 3090ti with 24gb. i settled for a 4080 with 16gb. nothing was in stock

i was considering amd with 20gb but CUDA is important

[wild tinsel]

I have a tech guy who was suggesting a 4080. Then I saw this annoumcement today. Do all 4080's come with 16gb?

[glacial turtle]

all are 16gb

[wild tinsel]

I'm currently using a 1660TI so almost anything would be an improvement.

[glacial turtle]

torch.py doesn't fully support the 40 series yet iv'e noticed too. there's some manual adjustments. all part of the learning process. installing newest dlls for cuDNN sort of thing. xformers. different little tweaks because of brand new architecture. That'll all get smoothed out in time

[wild tinsel]

Sheesh, the last thing I want is to get a card that's not quite compatible! So I should be looking at the 30__ series?

[glacial turtle]

i like my 4080. it also games well

it's quite compatible. i just had to tweak a few things to make software catch onto it

xformers isn't enabled by default and a1111's ui has an older version on it's repo

[wild tinsel]

I need something that will run CMDR "Easy Diffusion" right out of the box. I'm not technically savvy.

[glacial turtle]

its always teh way with brand new hardware. lovelace will rise up yet

yeah it should run out of the box easy

[wild tinsel]

I don't even know what torch.py is. Is it important to SD?

[glacial turtle]

little bit heh. its what the diffusion network uses to talk to the gpu. sort of like a machine learning directx

it may be a few layers removed from the gpu actually. its important though

[wild tinsel]

I'll mention it to the tech guy who's going to build a new computer for me.

But he doesn't know anything about SD.

[glacial turtle]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PyTorch

[wild tinsel]

Thanks. I'll forward this thread to him. But if the 3000 series doesn't have any issues with Torch.Py, maybe I should just go that route. I told him I needed a 3060 minimum and he said he could get me a good deal on a 4080.

[glacial turtle]

the issues are more that it just needs to be updated to newer better hardware architectures

that won't take long

for now, 4000s aren't that much better. soon they could be as the hardware iis flexed on better

[wind robin]

I got a 4090 and with much struggle managed to get it to work up to 39it/s on SD2.1 single image running on 450W

[glacial turtle]

society is largely conservative when it comes to the realm of mass technological disruption. even those who want a left government, look at the disruptive power of tech and say "heyyy wait a second!"

I personally say lets disrupt it all. Every industry. Ai through every profession. Lets get this revolution started. But that gets people nervous.

At one point, Digital media was so disruptive to the legal court systems that a compromise was designed. the DMCA. We're still living under that compromise. This new tech has kind of broken it. While i believe copyright still goes to the author, none of this PD on all creations nonsense, i do think that big changes will have to be afoot

[tall veldt]

And what after all that?

The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer? Or something else?

[glacial turtle]

singularity?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tall veldt]

There will be no singularity

Nor is anyone trying to make it into one

@glacial turtle You didn't think this through did you?

This is automation and while I am not against it, what you said will only bring problems

That's perhaps one of the more "bad" scenarios. But I really can't see anything that it does that makes things better in the long term

Still not against it, ofcourse

[glacial turtle]

you don't think technological advancement is increasing? i think there will be a singularity. a moment where astonishing advances are broken open. It's not a new idea and its one that information technologists have considered for some time. The hooey part of it is what's on the other side

hard to say really

isaac asimov even conceptualizes thhe idea as multivac in the final question

[tall veldt]

Oh no no I thought you said singularity in AI, not technological singularity lol.

[glacial turtle]

ai is just one tech that will lead to it

[tall veldt]

Yeah that I can agree. But I worry about the implications it may bring, because the singularity will eventually happen

[glacial turtle]

yeyeh i dont want roku's basilisk to simulate me being tortured for eternity. lets get this singularity rolling

[split bear]

As a Socialist in far left circles, I can tell you that you’re 100% correct here, most other far lefties I know are as reactionary as any conservative is when it comes to tech

I’m a Transhumanist myself, am totally on board with accelerating the singularity, merge me with Helios and Nanotechnologically augment me off biology J.C. Denton style baby. I’m ready.

[ebon haven]

I dont agree that we'd see some kind of discontinous singularity moment. what we have in the real world is exponential progress but also exponential problems and exponential expectations. tech is still progressing but a bit slower than the original kurzwellian projections

but having said that AI art definitely has a lot of disruptive potential. I'd like to see the way entertainment works evolve more toward the extreme customizability shown in the holodeck (that cliche , still stands as the end goal of the games industry IMO)

modding on steroids

[night bolt]

It looks like Apple quietly released their own Text to Speech which sounds pretty close to SOTA. A really interesting detail is that the term "AI" doesn't appear a single time on this page
https://authors.apple.com/support/4519-digital-narration-audiobooks

[tall veldt]

AI has literally become taboo for a shit ton of people. They aren't taking any chances with the public. Literally the other day I saw an AI program (that had nothing to do with AI art) get released for blender (it had something to do with rigging chars models) and it got hate because the word "AI" was there. And literally yesterday people started an internet riot against Adobe because they "collected data for their use" which literally EVERY software uses to improve it. These guys have become extremely paranoid, and any mention of "AI" will put their radars on high, almost like some form of trauma response (trauma against nothing Bdw, AI hasn't even done anything yet)

On another topic, it's my second day of not using Twitter and I already feel much better

5 days is my next target

[night bolt]

Yeah I don't blame them for trying to dodge the heat. It is very obviously AI text to speech though, even if it is a leap better than the Microsoft stock text to speech.

I am happy that TTS tech is moving forward though. I mainly listen to audiobooks instead of reading and I also want to listen to things that can't practically be narrated by a person like blogposts

[glacial turtle]

Surrogates here we commme . lets go!

[glacial turtle]

I actually think we're right on track with kurzweils projections. There's some dips in the progress, but a breakthrough like deep learned networks has rebooted a lot of research initiatives, begun gaining momentum, and acceleration is right on pace again.

I don't think there'll be one singular singularity moment. It'll more likely be a convergence of technologies in someone's basement. probably multiple basements. As soon as all the pieces are ready to fit together, they will just spontaneously become "the singularity" (whatever that rapid advancement that changes EVERYTHING is)

Chiplets have given space for moores law to progress in a new manner and new material substrates are going to allow for even smaller transistors when we transition away from silicon

[ebon haven]

lithography stalled.. perf per watt and per $$ isn't advancing so fast . GPU prices are a bad sign. chiplets etc aren't giving us "more for less" as we always used to get up until the atomic limits were hit. can't remember the exact threshiold but we've started going vertical ,thats making each step much more expensive;. Anyway it IS still progressing and has certainly reached a level where some remarkable new capabilities are being rolled out

[glacial turtle]

Lithography hasn't stalled. the demand for chips is just so high that they can't keep up. they're producing more chips today than ever before and the market still isn't saturated. What do you mean it has stalled?

[ebon haven]

progess

[glacial turtle]

Chiplets are first generation still and show a lot of scale potential too

I've seen no such stalls

wasn't the rtx 40 series the largest boost nvidia has ever done to their new models?

[ebon haven]

the rate of progress was much faster until we hit 14nm or something

[ebon haven]

mostly brute force and they're also sky high prices.. they're not cost reducing as fast as they used to

[glacial turtle]

that's just moores law reaching the edge of silicon accuracy. Like i said, other materials are being found and new transistor substrates will come into play. A carbon atom is something like 5 times smaller

atomic weight of 6 vs 14

[glacial turtle]

if adding more transistors gets more performance, whats the issue?

Reducing cost isn't really a part of the equation. If every single one they build is sold, advancement is still ongoing

[ebon haven]

you could always put more computers in a room or make bigger chips. The real progress came from transistors shrinking ,so you were getting more for the same amount of materail. Thats no long the case.. we're having to build vertically, so the rapid price-performance increases aren't happening anymore

[ebon haven]

performance per price is everything

[glacial turtle]

Shrinking isn't the only advancement. Focusing on it is narrow minded

[ebon haven]

shrinking is what let the rapid advacnement happen. thats what is slowing now.

[glacial turtle]

the 4080 is by far the biggest gpu i've ever owned. That in no way affects it's performance

[ebon haven]

the size of the cooler lol

[glacial turtle]

it can slow. we got plenty of scalability in other arenas. Chiplets for example

[ebon haven]

chiplets are brute force. spin it however you like.. the rate of progress today isn't as fast as it was pre 2005.

[glacial turtle]

The cooler is so big because the die is HUGE and eats watts like they're wheaties

I also have many NFTs for sale on OpenSea(.)iso site and hopefully once the Carrot App is able to handle ETH will have listings there as well.
You can find these at:https://opensea.io/Galwin?tab=created
or by using my provided link in my Discord profile.

[ebon haven]

yeah and thats the other important factor. perf per watt.

[glacial turtle]

doesn't matter that it's brute force. progress is progress. if bruteforce is the new way to gain performance, that's what is oging to happen

[ebon haven]

i never said progress had stopped. it's just slower now. There's factors that can kick in like mineral limits . they're reporting that manufacturing costs are increasing. This singularity is by no means guarenteed.

[glacial turtle]

viable fusion energy is now possible thanks to berkley/usa. woohoo. Electrical efficiencies won't matter soon. Heat dissipationg though... 7990 xtx and the 4090 both suffer from extremely hot electrical bottlenecks. But that's a whole different problem and nothing too do with information technology advances

I don't think progress is slower overall. We're right on track with futurist projections. Kurzweil and others

[ebon haven]

microssoft explained this with the need for the 'xbox series S' - they released this because they anticipate they can't cost reduce the state of the art device as they could in the past

[glacial turtle]

There's so many different areas we can advance tech, moores law is an old paradigm that is loosing it's dominance in the design culture

look at stable diffusion even. none of that is hardware. It's all software advancement

[ebon haven]

viable fusion energy? you mean that recent announcement where they had EROEI of about 1.2 .. without mentioning the input to the lasers.. fusion is still "20 years away" like it was 20 years ago.

[glacial turtle]

oh you're one of those lol. The paper that was published to nature was peer reviewed already. They mentioned everything. This is real hard science they're doing.

[ebon haven]

the core ideas in NN's were known decades ago, it's the progress in moores law thats enabled them to do new things

[glacial turtle]

The literal Department of Energy announced it. It's no small event

[glacial turtle]

ideas and implementations are kind of different things

[cerulean python]

Hi there

[glacial turtle]

software doesn't just spring out of an idea. Real world engineering work must be done. It doesn't just happen because theres a fast chip

[ebon haven]

the implementations were bounded by compute power. there are tweaks but the bulk of progress with AI lately is down to moore's law allowing bigger nets.

[glacial turtle]

SD can run on a 1050 if you do it right, but we never had it back then

[cerulean python]

Can't you run it on your CPU to9?

[glacial turtle]

I feel like you're arguing just for the sake of it, and you're digging in. So... now that i feel that way, i can't have an honest conversation anymore

[ebon haven]

SD on a 1050 is too slow for anyone to care about what it can do, its the higher performance that brings use cases into reach

[glacial turtle]

slowly but yes. I'm sure many people would've loved to run a slow stable diffusion 5 years ago

[cerulean python]

Can't have a honest conversation anymore because of discord

[cerulean python]

Well text to image wasn't even that good then

[glacial turtle]

"discord" isn't a human. someone with a bad attitude is. i'll blame bad attitudes instead

[cerulean python]

It still existed

[glacial turtle]

todays software can run on hardware that old though. So we COULD'VE had it back then if the software advancements were something not to consider

[cerulean python]

Yeah but did you consider the training time?

[glacial turtle]

but SD is novel and wasn't around 5 years ago. it's an advancement on it's own

[ebon haven]

peopel only bother with it when its fast enough to be useable

back then people were using other generative aalgorithms which were more practical on the hardware

[cerulean python]

Be happy that OpenAi revised this idea and sparked literally this whole community

If that didn't happen this wouldn't exist

[glacial turtle]

People use cpu generation for SD a lot. They'll wait 10min in queue on a public service to get their result. 5 years ago if it was available like it is today, just slower it would've blown up then too

did you know that coders used to let their work compile overnight before thye could test? they bothered then. that's why we're here now

[cerulean python]

Explain jukebox AI that takes more than a day to generate a three minute song, I did that like every day

[ebon haven]

i only care about it because it runs at a certain speed, otherwise its not much different to finding images online+photoshopping

[glacial turtle]

ahhh. you only care about the speed. now we're at the crux

[cerulean python]

Oh wow you can Photoshop in 4 minutes??

I barely believe that 🙂

[glacial turtle]

when i first started 3d modelling, i had to wait a minute just to get a shaded preview

[ebon haven]

if it takes 10mins to generate you're better off learning how to photoshop things. if it generates in 5 seconds , now thats transformative.

[cerulean python]

Bru just use like colab or something

This dude can Photoshop in less than ten minutes to get the prompt of whatever I want

Unbelievable

[ebon haven]

i use my 3080.

[cerulean python]

I use my 4090

[glacial turtle]

I think you're ignoring a lot of significant advances and hand waiving away a lot, because it's not the most uber convenient jarvis robot butler in the world.

i wanted teh 3090 but gpu retail in western canada is ffffked and i had to settle for the 4080

[cerulean python]

I want to fine-tune my own model

Anyone have some advice on this?

Like, actually finetuning one, with a few thousand images

[night bolt]

I remember it used to take like 20 minutes to generate a single image before SD lol

[glacial turtle]

you've got 24gb so i think stabletuner miight be viable for you

https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/zd3xut/stabletuner_a_nononsense_powerful_finetuner_with/

looks like the author uses a 4090 too

[cerulean python]

Yeah, buuut how many images would I need?

[glacial turtle]

I dont know enough about native training to say for sure

5

[ebon haven]

supposedly not so many.. i think people are able to finetune with dozens not thousands

[cerulean python]

I don't even think you know what I mean

I'm talking about training without dreambooth

[ebon haven]

finetuning doesn't take many images

[cerulean python]

[glacial turtle]

finetuning isn't dreambooth. it's native training

if you're fine tuning a model, keep in mind it was trained on laion first

[ebon haven]

https://twitter.com/Beekzor/status/1608862875862589441 i've got these people in my twitter feed , its some tool for finetunes (someone elses service but I'd imagine there's code around that can do similar things locally as per the earlier reply). I remember someone asking "how many images.." and the author answered to try with low numbers first (contrary to the usual expectation that DL takes huge numbers of images).

Patrick Buechner (@Beekzor)

I trained a custom generator with @Scenario_gg using 25 US military patches from WW2. The tool generated very consistent images using very limited (usually one word) prompts. Examples in thread. Leave suggestions in the comments and I'll post the results.

Scenario (@Scenario_gg)

“Fine-tuning” #StableDiffusion is the process for training custom AI models (with specific data/art - usually a set of 10-100 images).

It lets users to AI-generate highly consistent visuals, related to the input data.

This is what @Scenario_gg enables. Short example below: 👇🏼🧵

Twitter · Dec 26, 2022, 2:00 PM

[glacial turtle]

training base models typically does take huge numbers. refinement doesn't

[ebon haven]

right suposedly the original models cost around $150k+ to train, isn't it a billion images or something, but I assumed he isn't wanting to do that

[cerulean python]

....

I take the trained model and train it more on different images

[ebon haven]

right thats what I understood "finetuning" to be . I had the number "dozens of images" from the threads I linked above. its not "dreambooth". There's a lot of custom tools around , its all in flux, I dont keep track of all of them

[cerulean python]

Just finetuning stable diffusion takes more than a few dozens of images

[ebon haven]

from the above: ' “Fine-tuning” #StableDiffusion is the process for training custom AI models (with specific data/art - usually a set of 10-100 images).'

I dont know exactly what you want to do but from the given information, "finetune".. aparently 10-100 , hence , "a few dozen" , is a valid answer.

[cerulean python]

That's for dreambooth

[ebon haven]

they dont mention dreambooth. you haven't specified what you want to do thats different to what they do

[cerulean python]

It's basically not possible to fine-tune the current v2.1 model on 10 images and expect it to work perfectly

[glacial turtle]

Source?

[cerulean python]

Of?

Idk whom you're talking to

[glacial turtle]

that it's not possible for finetuning with a small set on 2.1

The tutorial i just watched for stable tuner showed the guy using 200. not a small set but not exactly a large set. 100 with xflip

if you're training a base model, you need a huge set. if you're trying to refine the model into something new, like text 2 pokemon, you need a huge set. you can get good results on subject training for a low number of images still though. 2.1 may even be better at it since the latent space was specifically made to be more smoothed out

[ebon haven]

digging deeper the link I provided did infact use "dreambooth" behind the scenes, ok. I didn't know that. Perhaps something did actually change with 2.1, or maybe dreambooth was specific to 1.4, and/or maybe "stable tuner" replicates the tweaks done by 'dreambooth' for v2.1

[glacial turtle]

stable tuner has a dreambooth feature, but is primarily just regular training finetuning

[ebon haven]

perhaps everyone is right.. "yes it doesn't work with 10 images". "yes it does work with 100..". I have also heard that more images in training can still improve the quality when narrowing the scope (so there is still a valid use case for 1000's of images)

(as soon as i get around to getting a new PSU I definitely want to mess with finetuning. I do have a 4090 here aswell)

[glacial turtle]

you probably need to dial it in to get quality on smaller sets still

[ebon haven]

( https://discord.com/channels/1002292111942635562/1026382406279770152 anyway seems like one could get a definitive answer there )

[glacial turtle]

it's worth experimengint on at least. the tools are all still so new. if someone is telling you for certain it can't be done a certain way, maybe they're just stuck on last week's release... if you understand what i'm saying

[ebon haven]

( I was going to say originally talk of fine-tuning seems far to on-topic for offtopic lol)

right everything is changing so fast

i basically want to use it for game-art.. finethuning on sci-fi film stills etc could help produce the imagery i'm after.

[glacial turtle]

truly offtopic this time, my 1440p screen from benq, freesync model, has always had ghosting issues for years. If an image stays on the screen too long then the pixels sorta stick towards that image. not burnin since it goes away with some exercise, but it happens. since i got a new 4080, an nvidia card that doesn't do freesync with this screen, the ghosting is so much worse now. like a window in a spot for 5min leaves a ghost image of it

lesson learned: The transformers library is neat and relatively easy to use, but it's super memory inefficient

[ebon haven]

(from finetune: COMEHU — "Today at 14:29i trained myself with 20 images in SD 2.1 and turned out very good, the most important thing is the dataset" ) .. I can imagine its a very hit & miss process .. but here's confirmation that some people can train 2.1 on (ballpark) dozens, for some usecases. maybe the result you're hearing ("can't on 10") was a worst case.

[cerulean python]

@chilly glacier Did you use dreambooth with this?

[chilly glacier]

yes i used thelastben colab

[cerulean python]

@ebon haven

[cerulean python]

Thank you for answering so fast, was not expecting that!

[chilly glacier]

like 3500 steps

with the usual learning rate

[cerulean python]

Yeah! I'm trying to train with just the model and no dreambooth

[chilly glacier]

thelastben have a new faster learning rate by default btw, i havent test it yet cause im waiting for distilled sd

[cerulean python]

Isn't sd v2.1 distilled?

I'm pretty sure it is

[chilly glacier]

it isnt, distilled need like 2-3 steps for hq images

[cerulean python]

Can you try sd v2.1 with like 4 steps?

or 2

[chilly glacier]

its gonnabe available in dreambot first and then released publicly

[chilly glacier]

results are very blurry

[cerulean python]

Ouch, I thought 2.1 was the one that solved stuff like that

Apparently it's gonna be 2.2

Buutt, no need to worry, luckily stabilityai is pretty fast with delivering models to the public

[chilly glacier]

when distilled sd is released im gonna leave sd 1.5 in the past

[cerulean python]

Yeah same

I want it

It should be easier to train on and it's so much better and faster

Isn't that a question that you should ask yourself rather than us? Everyone has their own mindset for each thing. For me, If I have a day off where I'm not with the family or have some extra time, I would go for playing some video games as that is what I like the most.

Hey, what's up?

[glacial turtle]

People should be aware about false positives maybe not being false positives in the AI model sharing community. Lets consider attack vectors for a second. One potential attack vector that there is concern about, is that the ckpt files are essentially hacks. Hacks in the name of innovation always happen, but there is a compromise in using a tool for something it wasn't meant for. I don't think this attack vector has ever been exploited in any proof of concept yet, but security researchers are sure theirs a way and they're working on it. Safetensors, if i'm not mistaken, were created specifically towards this concern.

However, as with most network security considerations, there are many other attack vectors when it comes to file sharing. One popular one is appended data blobs. A file could work exactly how it's intended to, like a png or a ckpt. It can also contain a huge chunk of appended data in it. It would load like it should and all that blob would just be useless for the file's purposes.

A slippery trojan enters stage left though. It could be any user space executable. It could be a game crack or cheat. It could be boobs.exe (classic). It could be anything. It would scan fine for viruses and pass all tests. But then a rogue thread would spin up and it would find that saved file, know there was a payload appended to it, and load that payload into system memory in order to launch the actual attack. This likely would be one of many known or unknown privilege escalation attacks and then it progresses from there.

Stay frosty!

@undone sable Did you manage to get unprompted to work buddy???????

just asking i saw you on github @undone sable

[undone sable]

Hi @brittle kiln unfortunately not, and I had to disable it 'cause in that state is useless. It's a pity, but perhaps it works for someone other. Thankfully I did the translation when it was still working, so if somebody from Italy uses it the localization will show up (unless the developer changed it).

[brittle kiln]

damnit 😢

[undone sable]

Just finishing to translate the latest stuff recently added to SD Web UI. Yes, but eventually you can play with Dynamic Prompts, or Style Pyle, which are good ones, if they match with your expectation or typical usage.

[brittle kiln]

well i was told unprompted is good for creating bodys from faces that are masked @undone sable

is that true?

i was recommended txt2mask

i was to create generated images from faces that i mask

Not really sure it was specifically meant for that scope. txt2mask, that's another option for masking, or you can try with Detection Detailer extenstion, but it seems to be too much demanding in terms of stuff to download; I didn't activated nor translated into Italian.

I am not really super expert of all these tools so perhaps someone else with the same needs you have can help you better. Sorry. It's too much stuff to learn to use and I am more focused on the UI localization, even if this means that I have to read and learn how these tools works to properly (hopefully) translate them. Sometimes, I had to read inside the Python scripts the comments to the code to grasp the meaning of some cryptic acronyms, but that's the fun part of the localization job.

[brittle kiln]

omg yeah this stuff is so confusing to me and theres just constantly so much stuff and new stuff being released, its very overwhelming to be honest @undone sable

[undone sable]

You don't have to learn everything. It's like Blender 3D, you can't learn it all. Learn to use well only the Scripts and Extension that you really need, the rest only if and when you will need it. When I finish the translations I usually deactivate all the Extensions that I am not using, like Dreambooth, Animator, booru2prompt, Deforum, Embedding Inspector, Additional Networks, riffuzion, Dataset Tag Editor etc. I keep only those that I need like Checkpoint Merger, Prompt Generator, Image Browser and a few others.

SD Web UI is really like a Swiss knife. Otherwise, there is InvokeAI which is simpler but powerful enough to play with. And don't forget to use Breadboard to manage all your AI generated images, it's a great companion tool.

[brittle kiln]

thank you so much! i really appreciate it! i just added you if you could kindly add me back ? @undone sable

AI art, where the only thing cheesier than the subject matter is the artist (hint: it's a machine). But don't let that fool you, because these digital masterpieces will have you looking at corny Ai Art saying "I can't believe it's not human or butter!"

do we have a name for the people or their prompts that just end up in the wrong channels? they make me giggle. you could be having a deep conversation on the nature of reality and another person will chime in with "fearsome horse dislikes apples"

totally off topic, it's music so, its still art so i'm not 100% off-topic so i think it passes
The Japanese super model that drums to metal just uploaded like 14hrs ago

https://youtu.be/7x2diAkN9EY

[supple shuttle]

I do like a girl drummer, never make it on a live set, even old warhorses croak from heart attacks but its cool

always the drummer goes first

female anything in metal is kinda awesome. i mean other than sexy voice metal stuff, gutteral screamy shit is amazing. there was an idea that when lemmy popped his clogs skin from skunk ananse could take over, i'd have loved that, she has such goddamn pipes

[meager valve]

@supple shuttle true, but have you ever witness cute metal?

metal meets hello kitty

= Baby Metal

https://youtu.be/ugnyM69LN54

it's good, and yet still cute. weird combo, cute + metal. I don't get it. But. It works. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The band I'm into atm is an Australian metal band, Once Human https://youtu.be/TtSjFoyfjEY 😍 I love this woman

I didn't make it playable because it's metal af

[supple shuttle]

saw em live at download festival, honestly they went hard as hell

[meager valve]

That's cool

[supple shuttle]

other acts phoned it in and did their bits, they went HARD, like not my thing but better than the screamos that were playing on other tents that year.

[meager valve]

everything beats emo

ok fine i'll make it playable, and yeah, i know of them ☝️
https://youtu.be/TtSjFoyfjEY

[supple shuttle]

no no, SCREAMO, the worst kind of emo. literally like death metal screaming but emo, and whining. actually the worst genre

[meager valve]

my fav atm ☝️

Frantic amber is close second

https://youtu.be/fQTmrxIL7Dw

A song about protecting your mother and sister from murder n rape.

pov you are the samurai

so if you like metal, you'll like these two

[supple shuttle]

sounds a bit edgelord ill pass, i prefer absurd

[meager valve]

wut

just because of my take on the song, and because you sound dumb af, you a person into metal, is gonna skip it?

That is the most re tarded thing i'v heard when it comes to metal

They way you made it sound upsets me, and i wont listen to it. --- wtf ever

later dude

[supple shuttle]

not intimating anything about you by not listening, just a fucking strange opening gambit. some things are just not cool to infer or suggest

[meager valve]

its metal, and you are acting like a pussy

stop it

https://tenor.com/view/no-family-guy-bad-dog-newspaper-peter-gif-9587434

besides, metal, is edgy, that's like the thing about metal

what would you like metal to sing about? happy sunshine mornings or something

dumb dude

anyways, i'm gonna end this stupid spat

-- over

(btw Frantic Amber is an all female metal band, so them singing a song about a samuria protecting his mother and sister from murder and rape, would be a females nightmare. so ya. u r dumb)

Hey folks, I have a question, is Etsy allowing the selling of AI art? I see they are closing down shops which display their work as Handmade... but there is no option to state that a listing is AI.... so this is confusing. Are there other printing services that are available to AI artists?

[tight comet]

If you search for it there are a lot of Ai art on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/market/ai_art?ref=pagination is there an option for digital instead of handmade? or even digital art that gets printed is tagged as handmade?

[glacial turtle]

metal has taken some cool roots in japan. here's babymetal drummer https://youtu.be/TfML1WEWfwk

he's a mascot for an apple farming town. he's an apple that's been posessed by the spirit of a dead cat 🍎🐱

[tight comet]

Her name sounds Korean, are you sure she is Japanese?

[tight comet]

https://youtu.be/-5haVuvLEC4

[glacial turtle]

yeah nyangostar has gone a lot wider than just babymetal. does all sorts of stuff now a days. rocks so hard

[tight comet]

by babymetal you mean the babymetal genre or the band?

[glacial turtle]

i thoguht that concert i linked was a band event but maybe its a genre. i am not knowledgeable

that apple cat rocks hard i know that though

[tight comet]

I mistook it, the genre is Kawaii metal (J-Pop + Metal) which is what babymetal identify themselves as, but nyango star is not part of their band, tho nyango might be someone famous lol

nyango star is too good to be some random person wearing a costume, way too underrated.

[glacial turtle]

whoever it is, they own all the rights to nyangostar and keep it secret

[tight comet]

I like how nyango star changed the costume to make a drum cover of this babymetal song lol https://youtu.be/kFr4StoaYus

its funny but amazing at the same time

[meager valve]

i'm not 100% but I thought i looked her up or one of her other vids and seen she was Japanese

not necessarily off topic, but can anyone help me with this issue? nothing that won't let me generate still, but it is very annoying to see these hundreds of errors appear each time I click a button, each time a generation step happens, or literally anything at all happens. Anyone know why this happens; or better yet a fix?

"The emergence of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) will lead to rapid developments in other technologies, such as fusion power, which will greatly decrease energy costs." -- if thats true everything gets cheaper, including commodities, land (because with fusion power you can pump water, mine more etc etc). But I dont personally think AGI changes so much compared to existing trends. it's just the general trend of increasing computing power that we're seeing here. we've already got 3d printers/CNC changing construction etc.

besides that "invest in land and commodities" is an existing theme which is consistent with a world of increasing scarcity due to fossil fuel depletion

Is there any limitations for using

[rich mortar]

No NSFW. That means nudity, sexual acts, extreme violence or gore. There are some gray areas but just use your best judgment in the understanding that this is a family friendly server.

Don't try to be sneaky and skirt the naughty detectors. No "dress made of air" or "invisible bikini" or nonsense like that. If it's not something you'd feel comfortable showing to a 15yo, don't prompt it.

So far as I know, that's the gist. I believe there are time limits to prevent spamming. You may have to wait a minute or so between prompts.

I suggest familiarizing yourself with the rules just to be safe.

[meager valve]

this is true for this server but if you mean for home use, depending on which web-ui or whatever there options to not block nsfw

I'm currently creating a Private discord server for the 18+ crowd. Just waiting to hear what incompetence excuse the web-host provider is going to tell me why my web-page/site to the discord server still isn't up.

I bet you if I really wanted to, and setup a real AI SD gen site for adults. I would probably make millions.

for sure I would, but I don't have that kind of money to setup high end vps with high end gpu's

that must cost a fortune to get going
