This really is a one-click installer, which is excellent. As far as I know it's the first and only one for M1. It's quite a polished UI, but there are a lot of features missing. The first ones that come to mind are: - No way to specify a seed. This is an important part of SD workflows, letting you redo an image with a slightly tweaked a prompt. - No way to specify a custom model. Alternative models (such as Waifu Dif…

Can it be built from source? (Am thinking if yes, then the seed feature should be easy to add).

That's a very pretty landing page, but it entirely avoids describing any features, or showing what it looks like beyond a thumbnail-sized image. Do you have any insights?

Unfortunately, no, haven't had time to try it yet, bookmarked it few days ago. Just wanted to comment that there are others and probably will be many more coming shortly.

I'm used to troubleshoot all kinds of stuff but I'm not a Python guy and wrangling with dependencies and virtual environments is not fun in my book. I've got lstein repo working but can't wait to have cleaner way of doing things.

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.

Its only a question because devs went out of their way to limit it, to everyones surprise Its like if Photoshop broke itself when you tried to modify or create anything nude or provocative, as the default That would just be weird and thats what these AI software devs have done so everyone patches that contrived feature flag, but nobody knows if they patched it

Fun fact: Photoshop does exactly that if you open images of currency. See: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/cds.html

Has anyone looked at the code and verified the statements in the readme?

Why not just do this yourself before commenting?

Because this is a community, and I appreciate having had the question asked and answered, as do many others I'm sure.

Both of my M1 Macs only have 8G of RAM. Is it a waste of time trying to run this with 8G?

Yes, it's a waste of time. It works, kinda, sorta, but only after shutting down every other app, and even then occasionally it seems to fall over. The model is larger than 8GB in memory, so it's agonizing.

Ran it with Little Snitch installed (why bother looking at the code when a malicious actor can just upload a modified binary anyway?) and the claims seem to be legit so far.

Presumably need to look at code, build code, and compare binaries.

This requires macOS 12.5 but it doesn't seem like it's released? At least for my region? System preferences "Software updates" tab says I'm on the latest (12.4) and there are no updates for me to install. How am I supposed to try this?

I have the same issue. 12.5.1 seems to have been released in August: https://9to5mac.com/2022/08/17/macos-12-5-1-monterey-securit...

What gives.

edit: I went to the App Store and found the listing for Monterey and clicked "GET" which opened the software update dialog with 12.5.1 and the option to upgrade.
