True, but it's going to dampen the launch a bit.

Is it? For me, I'm in tech but nowhere near anything for which playing with a new SD release would be relevant to my day job. Having a couple of extra days off to play with a new tech toy probably means I'll use it more.

depth2img looks really interesting. I was thinking that someone should train an art model like SD on 3d models+textures. This isn't quite that but it seems like it gets some of that effect.

I am a solo dev working on a creative content creation app to leverage the latest developments in AI. Demoing even the v1 of stable diffusion to the non-technical general users blows them away completely. Now that v2 is here, it’s clear we’re not able to keep pace in developing products to take advantage of it. The general public still is blown away by autosuggest in mobile OS keyboards. Very few really know how far…

What kind of stuff does your app do that blows people away?

This one's publicly downloadable? I think I must've missed 1.5. it had been postponed for a while (for good reasons discussed throughout threads here) and I didn't notice whether it had been released.

1.5 was released, although it was not dramatically better than 1.4 (outside of better inpainting) so it didn't get much buzz.

They apparently tried to combat NSFW generation by filtering the training dataset not to include any.

They reportedly did so to stop people from generating CSAM [0]. [0] https://old.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/y9ga5s/sta...

They’ve ensured the only way to create CSAM is through old-fashioned child exploitation, meanwhile all perfectly humane art and photography is at risk of AI replacement.

This is a huge missed opportunity to actually help society.
