If you’re technically inclined, I urge you to explore some newer Colabs being shared in this space. They offer vastly more configurable tools, work great for free on Google Colab, are straightforward to run on a local machine. Meanwhile we should prepare ourselves for a future where the best generative models cost a lot more as these companies slice and dice the (huge) burgeoning market here.

Can you share a few, please? I am already out of credits on Midjourney and I don't even feel like I got the hang of it until I was almost out.

Here are a couple I've used recently:

Majestic diffusion - https://github.com/multimodalart/majesty-diffusion

Centipede diffusion - https://colab.research.google.com/github/Zalring/Centipede_D...

Surprised by the lack of comments on the ethics of DALL-E being trained on artists content whereas copilot threads are chock full of devs up in arms over models trained on open source code. Isn’t it the same thing?

Of course. Because the majority of the tech bros on this site are self centered and think of arts as a lowly field deserving of no respect. While something slightly resembling some boilerplate lego code they wrote is a criminal act to learn from.

I recently talked with a concept artist about DALL-E and first thing they mentioned was "you know that's all stolen art, right?" Immediately made me think of GitHub Copilot. However the artists being featured in DALL-E's newsletters can't stop gushing about 'the new instrument they are learning how to play' and other such metaphors that are meant to launder what's going on. My theory is that the professions most at-r…

Where did they get the art from anyway? Do they have a list of sources anywhere?

Something I haven’t seen anyone talking about with these huge models: how do future models get trained when more content online is model generated to start with? Presumably you don’t wanna train a model on autogenerated images or text, but you can’t necessarily know which is which.

The images i have created all have a watermark.. This is at least one way to filter out most images, by the same AI at least.

It’s trivial to remove the watermark and other tools put no watermark on.

The name "OpenAI" to me implies being open-source. I have an RTX 3080 and will likely be buying a 4090 when it comes out. Will I ever be able to generate these images locally, rather than having to use a paid service? I've done it with DALL-E Mini, but the images from that don't hold a candle to what DALL-E 2 produces.

Their choice of name gets funnier every month.

Haha description of the company from Google

http://dailywrong.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/DALL%C2%B7E... Hot dang. Some Reddit subs can be auto-generated now.

It's already a thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/ but yea, it will have generated images now.

Hmmm, these seem less deranged than headings from the previous Markov-chain bots—and kinda less interesting because of that.

I guess Markov chains for the headings, Dall-E for images, maybe GPTx for comments. And/or the GPT models should be made wackier somehow—less coherent, perhaps.

If you really want to learn, visit github.com. There are over 200 million freely available, open source code repositories for you to study and learn from.

Quite true. Best case, we're seeing DJ Spooky style culture jamming/remixing. But more likely it is as you write.

On the other hand, the market for stock photography was already decimated by the internet. Where previously skilled photographers would create libraries of images to exemplify various terms and sell these as stock, in the last decade or so, an art director with the aid of a search engine could rapidly produce similar results.

Really hope I get an invite for MidJourney soon. Been on the waitlist since March :(

Midjourney is in open beta now. Just go to their site and you can get started right away. I got in and I wasn't even on their waiting list.

Thanks. Will try again.

Edit: Joined the discord via the beta and got in. Thanks a lot for the heads up!

MidJourney gives ~unlimited generation for $30/month, and is nearly as good. Unlike DALL-E it doesn't deliberately nerf face generation. I've been having a blast.

It's pretty good at faces now. https://labs.openai.com/s/BAdAExWMdtyyC5VJVxXF5wdd

> Curbing misuse: To minimize the risk of DALL·E being misused to create deceptive content, we reject image uploads containing realistic faces and attempts to create the likeness of public figures, including celebrities and prominent political figures. We also used advanced techniques to prevent photorealistic generations of real individuals’ faces
