Can it make it pop? Because that was the #1 request I remember dealing with.

I don’t know why people use this “AI” thing, I have been using make my logo bigger cream (tm) for ages with success. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOwi3x92teo ;)

Hum... Is that whitespace eliminator still on sale?

Well if you check the web, not a lot :D

What are the most affordable GPUs that will run this? (it said it needs CUDA, min 11GB VRAM, so I guess my relatively puny 4GB 570RX isn't going to cut it!)

Can you imagine only being able to cook a hamburger on one brand of grill? But you can make something kinda similar in the toaster oven you can afford?

I want to be productive on this comment… but the crypto/cuda nexus of GPU work is simply not rational. Why are we still here?

You want to work in this field? Step 1. Buy an NVIDIA gpu. Step 2. CUDA. Step 3. Haha good luck, not available to purchase.

This situation is so crazy. My crappiest computer is way better at AI, just because I did an intel/nvidia build.

I don’t hate NVIDIA for innovating. The stagnation and risk of monopoly setting us back for unnecessary generations makes me a bit miffed.

So. To attempt to be productive here, what am I not seeing?

The cheapest NVidia GPU with 11+GB VRAM is probably the 2060 12GB, although the 3060 12GB would be a better choice. The setup.py file seems to indicate that PyTorch is used, which I think can also run on AMD GPUs, provided you are on Linux.

I really want these ML libraries to get smarter with use of VRAM. Just cos I don't have enough VRAM shouldn't stop me computing the answer. It should just transfer in the necessary data from system ram as needed. Sure, it'll be slower, but I'd prefer to wait 1 minute for my answer rather than getting an error. And if I don't have enough system RAM, bring it in from a file on disk. Tha majority of the ram is consumed…

If it doesn't fit in the GPU memory, it will often be faster to just compute everything on CPU. So the framework doesn't really need to be smart. And the framework can easily already compute everything on CPU. So it can do what you want already.

I am not a fan of software such as this putting in an arbitrarily "safety" feature which can only be disabled via undocumented environment variable. At least make it a flag documented for people who don't have an issue with nudity. There isn't even an indication that there is a "safety" issue, you just get a blank image and are wondering if your GPU/model or install is corrupted. This isn't running on a website that…

Nudity isnt really the core issue. It is about illegal content. Nudity is the over-protective, over-inclusive bandaid solution to prevent this thing from being used to generate the very illegal material that will trigger authorities.

Here is a colab you can try it in. It crashed for me the first time but worked the second time. https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1rOvQNs0Cmn_yU1bKWjC...

Huh, I'm trying it now and the results seem so weak compared to any other model I've seen since dall-e.

Hmm that’s true for me too. Not sure if it is due to resource constraint. I had a picture of a car in indoor parking lot with walls and pillars. When I prompted “Color the car blue” the whole image was drenched in a tint of blue. Similarly when prompted “make a hummingbird hover” … the hummingbirds were a patch of shiny colors with an shape that sort of looked like an hummingbird but not like a real one.

Wow, it's really impressive to see how advanced AI image generators have become! The ability to create stable diffusion images with a "just works" approach on multiple operating systems is a huge step forward in this technology. We've deployed similar tech and APIs for our customers and are contemplating using this library as part of our pipeline for https://88stacks.com

Dark patterns are frowned upon here on HN. Letting the user upload dozens of images and only after that telling them they need an account. Not good.

its not a dark pattern, what would happen to the images after uploading?

Then instead of just presenting me with a blank image tell me why it's blank. Or add the word "nude" to the default negative filter which by default doesn't have that in it.

The default is:

   negative-prompt:"Ugly, duplication, duplicates, mutilation, deformed, mutilated, mutation, twisted body, disfigured, bad anatomy, out of frame, extra fingers, mutated hands, poorly drawn hands, extra limbs, malformed limbs, missing arms, extra arms, missing legs, extra legs, mutated hands, extra hands, fused fingers, missing fingers, extra fingers, long neck, small head, closed eyes, rolling eyes, weird eyes, smudged face, blurred face, poorly drawn face, mutation, mutilation, cloned face, strange mouth, grainy, blurred, blurry, writing, calligraphy, signature, text, watermark, bad art,"

Sure, if this was a commercial product i would also scream about feedback. But as this is a free side project im not going to criticize decisions on what they think they need to do to avoid unnecesary drama. I credit them for making the bypass relatively simple.
