it's fun to try to find flaws in content blocking. interesting datapoints: it will block some sexually suggestive prompts regarding women (a woman swimming in milk) but not for men (a man swimming in milk) changing milk to "almond milk" got the prompt accepted but then blocked before showing image refused any prompt with the word "bikini" (even for "on a statue") or "full body visible" (even if clothed) I got suspend…

It blocked "a woman wearing a flower dress massaging a pregnant woman in a room with a view of the ocean and the sunset" that I was trying to generate for a client who offers pre-natal massage, I removed "pregnant" and it worked.

I'm definitely not a hater of these technologies and I'd actually like to play around with them. I'm more concerned with how these language models seem to be tied to a certain companies' browser and what the implications of this might be. If Chrome gets tied with Bard and Edge gets tied with Chatbot, Image Creator, etc. where's that leave Firefox and other "niche" browsers?

> models seem to be tied to a certain companies' browser and what the implications of this might be If you've got the budget buy a 7950X / 64 GB of RAM / 4090 GPU (about $4K ?) and run StableDiffusion + other free tools locally. It's just plain amazing. It's plenty quick and there are more and more tools every day that passes by. I've been demo'ed SD+LoRA by someone who knows who to additionally train the model: it's…

You can run StableDiffusion on wayyyy less hardware than that if you're just doing inferencing. You can train models on 8GB of VRAM if you're OK with being limited to training LORA models, which are slightly lower quality. If you've got an RTX3060 you can train on Dreambooth (without EMA enabled), which is awesome! If you've got more VRAM and can train with EMA enabled, then the results are pretty stunning.

Amazing, same as the chatGPT effect - seeing these images in papers is one thing. But having an interface where you can try it and realise that the paper examples weren't cherry-picked and the technology really is that good is something else. First try https://www.bing.com/images/create/a-dog-driving-a-taxi/6419...

But you can already do it for a long time.

A "long time" is quite relative here because things keep moving so fast in this space. Remember that not everyone is refreshing this website or others everyday.

How much longer can an initiative like midjourney continue when people like Microsoft are directly entering the fray? I'll still use Stable Diffusion locally though - there's nothing like avoiding the potential walled garden/subscription trap.

I dunno... Midjourney v5 is pretty insane with the level of realism it offers. They seem really focused on training their models in a specific way to achieve particular results that their users are after.

I feel like I'm looking at aliens wearing people's skin. https://kota.is/qpxa1.png Nightmare inducing. I hate it. https://kota.is/X57J5.png Ugh, this legit makes my stomach turn. https://kota.is/Q2hUI.jpg It's like a bad amusement park ride; no thanks.

Wow this is not production ready!

What is microsoft doing?

Look at midjourney 5's absolute perfection as an example.

Funny that the sentiment on HN around this is so toxic and hateful that you need to explicitly justify something that is obviously extremely cool.

I don’t hate it - I love it. I’m just sick of reading that it’s the future, I mean a hype cycle. It’s going to take all our jobs, I mean it’s shit. It can beat a grandmaster at chess, I mean it can’t win at tik-tak-toe. It’s somewhere in the middle of all these things. It’s clearly groundbreaking technology that will be useful in many ways for a long time to come, but is still in early days with bugs to be fixed, and…

This could indeed be a wrapper for something like Dall-E 2. Like the latter, they seem to occasionally force some images to be (what US Americans consider) "diverse", i.e. making figures black even when it makes no sense. The results can be quite disturbing: https://www.bing.com/images/create/princess-peach2c-portrait...

Are brown squirrels disturbing?

That result is hardly disturbing. Christ. There’s being anti-woke but this is just being racist.

I find the picture to be quite disturbing, though not because of the skin color.

Right, but it's no more disturbing than the average mis-aligned output from DALLE-2. (Princess Peach is humanoid, not a squirrel).

The parent comment is welcome to correct me, but given the context of their comment I feel like it should be flagged. At the very least for inciting a toxic flamewar; but really it's just racist.

This isn't 4chan.
