Why would you do that? What an awful idea. People made those shows in the 4:3 format, you’d just be adding fluff. This is like adding more description to a book so it becomes an epic novel instead of a novella. I’d say keep to the creators intent…

I'm not the person who suggested it, but I wouldn't mind having it fill my (wide)screen when watching. That said, I understand that some film/tv uses the frame very precisely, however I'm not sure that these two particular examples do that throughout their entire episodes. (Though I bet that in Seinfeld in particular it might weaken/ruin a few visual gags.)

Still seems to me like adding fluff - it seems a bit impossible to me that the AÍ would add anything pertinent to the plot. It would add “stuff” like corridors and background sets and maybe someone out of focus.

Do the black bars actually bother you that much? You know there are cropped 16:9 widescreen versions of some of these shows (which I personally detest, but I work in the business of moving images).

Genuinely interested in why this bothers people.

Doesn't make sense to me why OpenAI has kept DALL-E closed source for so long. I can only guess either safety from misuse or leveraging it for money. At this rate though, Stable Diffusion is going to dwarf it

> I can only guess either safety from misuse I still don't understand what this would mean. Where are all of the terrible things that were supposed to happen, now that Stable Diffusion is available? We've been able to create completely photorealistic fiction for decades now. See any movie with CGI for an example of whole worlds, and people, that don't exist. The bar has gradually been lowering (see the amazing CGI th…

Meanwhile someone has already built a photoshop plugin for Stable Diffusion that you can use today to do basically the _exact_ same thing: https://old.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/wyduk1/sho...

My headcanon is they realized this stuff might be the essence of consciousness itself and wanted to shelter it in a persistent storage medium where it could grow and learn safely instead of releasing it to the wild to be booted up and destroyed by every yokel with a gpu

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..

Stable Diffusion is arguably better, has more features, and is free. OpenAI can't compete with free. Even if you don't want to take the 30 seconds to set it up in a free Google Colab environment, the paid DreamStudio version is still half the price of Dalle.

After many months of waiting on my invite I got it and I entered the prompt which is my greatest fear for some reason "a red eyed hairy spider with human hands as feet" I got a warning about violating policy/harmful content etc or something. Not only that, the results I got were super underwhelming, after playing with it for a half hour I haven't looked back. Now playing with SD and an upscaler, there is no limit to what I can create. Also I always found it funny the company name hilarious. "Open"AI.

There was a good example somewhere I can’t find, but of a really complex prompt that Dalle could understand, but SD couldn’t. Maybe some of the GPT-3 is being leveraged for parsing. Anyways I think it’s way too early to start taking sides. I enjoy using all these system.

One of SDs big limitations (understanding from what I had read about it) is positional prompts. dall-e seems to understand x on top of Y, but simple diffusion does not.

img2img drawing should take care of that

How long until we can run this over shows like Star Trek Voyager/DS9 and Seinfeld to achieve believable 16:9 scenes?

Why would you do that? What an awful idea. People made those shows in the 4:3 format, you’d just be adding fluff. This is like adding more description to a book so it becomes an epic novel instead of a novella. I’d say keep to the creators intent…

I'm inclined to agree, but if it were coherent I'd take it over what platforms like netflix do and chop off the tops and bottom of the content so it'll fit 16:9.

We still know basically nothing about our Brain/Consciousness. I would say we have a lot more to explore/research

Our brain is apparently just a 4 gb large arrangement of electrical weights.

Not to be pedantic, but we have on the order of 100B neurons, and afaik each of them can be connected to thousands of other neurons. I assume we probably have a ways to go before we're encoding the amount of information a brain can comprehend.

what kind of prompting is required for this? I uploaded a digital painting, selected "Edit mode", added a generation frame and prompted "complete the painting in frame" ...but it just added a completed unrelated photo related to painting in that frame.

I guess prompting that is "similar" to the image. The output mine gave was pretty lackluster. I had to overlap the image significantly, and even then it didn't seem to take into account enough of the context to make something that resembled the style close enough.
