Diffusion Bee is the easiest way to run Stable Diffusion locally on your M1 Mac. Comes with a one-click installer. No dependencies or technical knowledge needed. Features: - Full data privacy - nothing is sent to the cloud - Clean and easy to use UI - One click installer - No dependencies needed - Multiple image sizes - Optimized for M1/M2 Chips - Runs locally on your computer

Does it work with pornographic or potentially pornographic prompts?

And the real questions come out.

Seriously though, I imagine this is less a case of whether this specific implementation permits pornography, but whether any porn was included in the dataset it was trained on. No matter how good AI is, it only knows what it knows.

I can confirm that this works great on the M1 Max. It has been taking less than a minute to run the model and generate the images. So far I have been really satisfied with the output. Let's please make one-click installers the norm for future technology. I love nerding out, but wading through dependency hell is not worth it most of the time.

It works, well, incredibly.

how is this possible without a dedicated gPU? thought stable diffusion would require far more horsepower

They have integrated GPU that I believe Apple claimed was comparable to RTX 3090 (perhaps since debunked though or at the least maybe a misleading claim).

Based on the upvotes, inquiring minds _really want to know_!

How long is the generation taking on say a 2021 MacBook M1 Pro?

55 seconds on a M1 Pro MacBook with 16GB RAM to generate a picture (with default settings, so 512x512, 25 steps).

On a M1 Ultra, it takes 12 seconds with 64GB RAM (same settings). While computing, the Mac Studio is pulling 100 watts of power.

"Stable Diffusion" is referring to one specific set of models, which were trained on a dataset including some porn.

The official implementation has a second model that detects pornography, and replaces outputs including it with a picture of this dude https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ (Not kidding). Removing that is a really simple a one line change in the official script.

How do you see upvotes? I’ve never had any visibility to upvoted comments (downvoted of course yes), or at least it’s not obvious at all to me and see no indication of it..

I’ve always been curious about that, too. I don’t think I see anyone else’s votes, up or down.

You can see the total score (upvotes - downovtes) for your comment where you see the upvote/downvote button for everyone else's comments. Or at least I can.
