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 un installer! 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

To be fair, this is a long standing issue between how Apple wants people to uninstall their app (by throwing them in the trash) and how modern apps really work in practice (some apps need/generate temp data in AppSupport, and sometimes it's a non trivial amount).

As a developer the best you can usually do is put some instructions somewhere (website, somewhere in a menu in UI), or do a package install that puts an uninstaller somewhere (more of the Windows way, but it breaks many expectations from users like having your app be one icon in `Applications`, and not it's own folder with your app and maybe a "Uninstall" app there too). For Aerial I give uninstall instructions on the website, but there's not much of a standard on how to handle this (that I know of, at least).

I have a 2020 mac mini with 8GB RAM, an image takes about 7 minutes with the default settings, no problems so far.

Oof. I guess I should at least 16GB on my next Mac (I've been very happy with 8GB on my M1 Air for just about everything else, though).

RAM won't expected the speed much, mostly impacts how large images you can render (8GB would be limited to 512x512 if not smaller). Memory bandwidth and available computer cores on the GPU matters more when it comes to generation speed.

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…

I think you mean vulva, not vagina[1]. Vaginas are mostly internal.

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

It used to just give a warning
