Feels like a race to the bottom. More features, lower cost, every week. No idea where it’ll level out, but I like it. Just bought some more Dalle credits today because it’s so much fun. This is a revolution in ‘art technology’ it’s like Steve Job’s bicycle for the mind. Best I could do a month ago was a stick figure in MS Paint, but now..

It's a race to the top. New functionality is added and the model is improved week over week.

That's still a race to the bottom if the price isn't going up.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving group of people. Good riddance. Squatting the name "open" and trying to reap the benefits therein while being anything but.

What benefits? The parent is non-profit. I'd argue they're imperfect, but they don't look like arses. Big gap between the two, too.

Are they non-profit? Does receiving $1b investment from a for-profit company still mean you can be non-profit?

I thought their research actually is open, at least? That's still something...

Their research is closed -- they don't release model weights, nor in most cases the training or model scripts. Certain things they release, just like any other for-profit research firm.

A few weeks ago I was skeptical that this technology would get past the emotional response we get from procedurally generated game environments, but I've been convinced otherwise. The emotional response I get from some of the best of these images are novel and thought provoking. Makes me wonder what percent of what makes us human is now algorithmically solved....

Does the new generated picture take into account of all previously generated image or just whatever is around the square, the first is amazing, the latter was a feature that was already there. Regardless, this is a great way for people to fight the lack of detail in Dall-E which I think is one of it's largest flaw.

Just what's in the square I believe. The only difference here is one of UI, since they give you a canvas in which to place your generations.

So DALL-E is already old news and the Stable Diffusion ecosystem is once again already ahead especially with this announcement. Quite funny to see OpenAI panicking and falling on their own sword, as they were supposed to be 'Open' in the first place and are now being disrupted by open source.

The only move left for OpenAI, is honour their name and make their own AI Open Source.

Or rename themselves OpaqueAI.

I can't help but feel like they're adding this at this particular point since Stable Diffusion has announced they're releasing their 'inpainting' model next week.

I really doubt it's related at all, though everyone would think it looks that way. SD has only been out a week and this feature would have taken much more than that to build, test, enroll demo users, make a webpage for, etc.

I've been complaining for years about WikiLeaks not being a wiki -- no one wants to listen....
