If anyone using this is getting bad results, it's probably your prompt that needs work. I recommend looking at https://lexica.art for prompts (NSFW warning - unfiltered user generated data). It has the largest collection of results along with their prompts and a good search engine.

i've been putting together a guide to prompts here https://github.com/sw-yx/prompt-eng/blob/main/PROMPTS.md

I don't understand why all these crazy forks don't switch to using the HuggingFace codebase[1]. It's much better code and easier to add features to.

It's true you have to use the code from git rather than a release, but that's not hard.

https://github.com/nlothian/m1_huggingface_diffusers_demo is my clean demo repo with a notebook showing the usage. The standard HuggingFace examples (eg for img2img[2]) port across with no trouble too.

Any benchmarks on this? How long does it take to generate a batch of images, say with steps=100?

On my M1 MAx with 32 GB I'm getting 1.5 iterations/second (ie, ~30 seconds for the standard 50 iterations) using this example: https://github.com/nlothian/m1_huggingface_diffusers_demo

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

do you mind putting a license on your repo? as it is right now Diffusion Bee is technically not open source.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I tried Charl-E and got Python errors. (Maybe because I don't have Python installed?)

`mkdir ~/Desktop/charl-e/samples` to fix that.

Why do you need a folder on the desktop? I never put files there and it seems like a strange requirement.

I mean I don't know why we have to talk around this point: yes, you can definitely generate pornography with SD. Be prepared to see a lot of weird things, because that super-realism really means it just drives right into the uncanny/body horror valley at full speed. But the second point here is also wrong: the whole reason these models are interesting is because they can generate things they haven't seen before - the…

>it can generate porn It's not good at penises or vaginas, just breasts and butts. I can find what I like pornographically without ai. But the ducking and dodging around nudity and sexuality is childish and tiresome and we ought to discuss this topic as disinterestedly and nonchalantly as we do the other things it excels or struggles at. Penises and vaginas are not somehow more vile than other things. Sure enough, se…

Are we talking about Artificial God Intelligence?

For those of you following the lstein fork (especially the development branch), it has been making great progress. I'm not getting black images anymore and the speed has gone up significantly. Not one click install by a long shot, but the documentation is pretty clear to follow. Anyone with a bit of CLI experience can do it and if you don't have that, this is a great way to kind of stumble your way towards something…

As a slightly shameless plug, I've been hacking up a UI specifically for that fork with a focus on a more efficient workflow for image synthesis. A demonstration video can be found here: https://vimeo.com/748114237

If people have any sort of feedback I'd love to hear it, or if people have some specific features that are missing from the other UIs :)
