So... are we done politely coughing and looking out the window at the idea that the gatekeeping was motivated by altruism so that we can move on and just use this much better innovation model going forward?

If you're talking about scientific gatekeeping like pre-publication peer review, the gatekeeping was never really the root problem.

If researchers have great products or findings to show off, it's easier than ever to simply publish them somewhere online and let impressed audiences spread the word. Gatekeepers have been irrelevant to truly great science for a long time.

It's mediocre science that needs gatekeepers to distinguish it from not-even-mediocre, truly substandard research.

Do you know the best Google Colab tutorial / repo?

Hi, there are a couple of good UIs. https://github.com/cmdr2/stable-diffusion-ui is an easy-to-install and use tool, written by me (with contributions by many). Version 2 is in beta, which is a 1-click installer for Windows, no dependencies or command line needed. v2 beta: https://github.com/cmdr2/stable-diffusion-ui/tree/v2 https://github.com/hlky/stable-diffusion is another popular and good tool.

Any of these that work work with apple arm64 m2?

The gatekeeping GP is referring to is OpenAPI keeping DALL-E 2 behind an invite-only API, with weights unpublished, vs. Stable Diffusion publishing the whole model for anyone to download and use.

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...

Here is a SD plugin for Krita: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/x209sb/pre...

Which now supports inpainting (as of 36 minutes ago): https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/x2tk1g/sta...

Stable Diffusion allows anyone to make kiddie porn with a half-second of curiosity/effort. Maybe you didn't know about that, maybe you think it's NBD, but in any case, that is the tire fire which aspiring AI majors want to avoid.

Pen and paper can do the same. Or Photoshop. Anyone can draw anything! OMG, stop the paper factory.

Actually, anyone can't draw anything, especially the closer you get to photorealism. Also drawing by humans cannot be done in parallel very well. With an AI you can get an unending stream of pictures.

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..

the same thing could be said about ethereum and solana

While I think the fear might be overexaggerated, being able to make realistic fake content with such ease means it's harder to know what's true and what's not. Plus this has been the claim of OpenAI from the beginning. It's possible the true objective is to keep it private to leverage for money and this is just their excuse.

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 or leveraging it for money.

and it shouldn't be difficult to pick which of these is actually true.
