Bravo. This looks really promising and is exactly the sort of thing one needs to get models like these to generate what you imagine.

Thank you so much! Really happy to hear. Hopefully I can do a Show HN in the future, when/if there is a free version for people to play around with, and get some really good feedback that way.

Please do, I am sure you will get some good feedback.

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.

If you're curious you can see some of the imagery used to train SD here:

https://laion-aesthetic.datasette.io/laion-aesthetic-6pls/im...

This is just a small fraction of the imagery and it does include pornography.

I respect that if you're online and reading HN, you're probably mature enough to handle seeing pornography. So if you're curious to see some of the training data that made it in: choose from the dropdown "-column-" and change it to "punsafe" and set the value in the adjacent field to "1", then press Apply.

Obviously this will show pornography on your screen.

An article which talks about the imagery and how this browser came about is here: https://waxy.org/2022/08/exploring-12-million-of-the-images-...

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.

> 55 seconds on a M1 Pro MacBook with 16GB RAM to generate a picture

I've been running webui [1] on M1 MacBook Air 16GB RAM: 512x512, 50 steps takes almost 300 seconds. I'm suspecting that it is running on CPU, because the script says "Max VRAM used for this generation: 0.00G" and Activity Monitor says that it's using lots of CPU % and no GPU % at all. When M1 users are running stable diffusion, does the Activity Monitor show the GPU usage correctly?

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…

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.

How can I post my images to lexica.art ? I don’t see an upload option

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…

Unfortunately they did not include a one-click uninstaller! Besides removing the .app, you also need to delete the 4GB+ model that it downloads and other files that it scatters about:

  $HOME/.diffusionbee
  $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/DiffusionBee

You're right. On top of that, python dependency / package management is a joke.

Normally it's fine, but Apple have decided to force everyone into installing a conda python alongside normal python, which makes everything way more complicated than it needs to be.

It can be complicated and frustrating getting Stable Diffusion (or indeed, anything related to ML, in my experience) running on other OSs too. It's not really related to Apple's approach to Python.

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

As if anyone who really will print money can't open in GIMP.

Probably useful to stop 12 year olds from "accidentally" committing felonies though

Looking good over here too: M1 Max.

God I would hate to be whoever OpenAI blames this on.

I’m going to leave that DALL-E beta approval email unread like a food delivery recruiter email.

I found the reason why it was using CPU only. I was running macOS 12.2. I upgraded to 12.5.1. and it's now using GPU. Activity Monitor shows it. Also, the time for 50 steps dropped to 175 secs. 25 steps is about 80 secs, which is closer to the MacBook Pro time..
