shameless plug burlap will let you just use keys from gemini studio or openai and try stuff out without messing with the web interfaces. that's (one reason) i made it https://www.burlap.app/download

Any plans for other platforms?

for the app or the keys?

for keys we support openai, google, bytedance, and wavespeed which is an aggregator that gives you access to most models.

if you are asking is Windows in the works, not near term. unless enough people ask i suppose.

thanks! i have been trying to articulate why i built this, and in what ways the approach is fundamentally different.

The article says that all images have SynthID watermark which is invisible mark indicating the image was AI generated. Why would you prefer otherwise? Seems like tragedy of the commons to release flood of unmarked AI generation images, among many other risks.

Because people don't want random water marks being applied to their artwork. We've been using AI edited image and video using "filters" for years and the world hasn't ended. Time and time again these AI labs will fear monger how bad and dangerous these AI models are when in reality it is not the case and is just an excuse for them to exert power over others using their lead.

If you can’t see the watermark (you called it “invisible”) then what’s the issue?

It's sort of amazing that Grok's image model beats Nano Banana on nearly every one of the metrics they chose to highlight.

I guess less security boundaries have some advantages

That's nice but it's on google's broken AI studio thing. I can't use half the stuff on there because it requires a Google One account. Which I'm ineligible for because I'm on a workspace account. Can I switch? No, because Google One doesn't support own domains. So I need to run (AND PAY!) two accounts to have both a nice email address and Banana? Starting to think the correct number of paid google accounts here is ze…

It's on Google Flow. For whatever reason, it's free and I've never hit a usage cap.

You basically cannot enforce any laws on corporations when Republicans are in control. ~50% of voters decided that they should be able to do literally anything they want and Buyer Beware is a good way to structure society and commerce.

Do you really think 50% of voters thought this was what they were getting? I think most of them thought “dunno what is going on, but this guy seems confident and says it’ll be good if we vote for him”.

that's what I voted for and I'm happy about it. same for every single person in my circle.

you may not understand the other side because of biases but if you just say "oh 50% must be crazy / be stupid" then noone can have an honest debate. but I guess gone are those days.

How does stopping agencies from making up their own interpretation of laws do anything to prevent proactive enforcement? (Do you just mean they're now more limited in their ability to make up new laws and proactively enforce those? I'm pretty sure prohibitions on false advertising are actual laws.)

Wouldn't that fall under existing false advertising laws, if you're putting fake/altered images in the listing?

It should, I would assume. But for some reason, it seems nobody is enforcing consumer protections like they used to. Pretty soon they'll take the stickers off mowers warning people to not put their hand under it while it's running. The world isn't in a good place...
