If I’m willing to buy a computer, any pointers on what I would have to buy? I’m asking for specific models from a company like Dell, Apple, or Lenovo?
I’d rent a cloud vm with a beefy gpu from paperspace or a similar company. It’ll run about $20 per month for casual use.
This release changes society forever. Free and open access to generate a hyper-realistic image via just a text prompt is more powerful than I think we can imagine currently. Art, media, politics, conspiracy theories; all of it changes with this.
Eh... if I was making conspiracy theories, it's not like Photoshop hasn't existed for decades already, with far more predictable results.

We do a decent job of banning child pornography. And bringing the two ideas together, is child pornography that is provably created by an AI still illegal?
As far as I'm aware countries fall broadly into two camps. Camp 1, USA for example, is concerned purely with the abuse of children, i.e., anything that depicts or is constructed of pieces of real children is illegal but other things such as drawings, stories, adults role playing, etc is not. Camp 2 outlaws any representation of it whether or not a child was involved. Nowhere will a training set featuring pictures of…
True, but generalizing beyond the training set is precisely the point of machine learning. A good generative model will be able to produce such images, no matter how heinous the content is.
If you want to try it out this seems to be the best tool for doing so: https://beta.dreamstudio.ai/

which. personally.. I think is great.. but to each their own

Yes, that's actually the biggest reason this is such a cool announcement! You just need to download the model checkpoints from HuggingFace[0] and follow the instructions on their Github repo[1] and and you should be good to go. You basically just need to clone the repo, set up a conda environment, and make the weights available to the scripts they provide. [0] https://huggingface.co/CompVis/stable-diffusion [1] https…
You need a decent GPU, though. I suspect my 6080MiB won't cut it any longer :(

DALL-E's filters are so harsh that I find myself often in the situation where I don't even understand how what I prompted could possibly be in violation. It's a novel feeling, but utterly stifling when it comes to actual creativity, and I'm not even trying to push any NSFW boundaries, just explore the artspace. Once I can run unfiltered on my own GPU, DALL-E will never get used by me again.
The usual modern Google experience: they won't tell you what you did wrong.
> The final memory usage on release of the model should be 6.9 Gb of VRAM. Do they actually mean GB or Gb? Can anyone confirm?

Is there any way to download this on my PC and run it offline? Something like a command-line tool like $ ./something "cow flying in space" > cow-in-space.png that runs with local-only data (i.e. no internet access, no DRM, no weird API keys, etc like pretty much every AI-related application i've seen recently) would be neat.
I think the answer is yes, but setup is a bit complicated. I would test this myself, but I don't have an NVIDIA card with at least 10GB of VRAM. One time: 1. Have "conda" installed. 2. clone https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion 3. `conda env create -f environment.yaml` 4. activate the Venv with `conda activate ldm` 5. Download weights from https://huggingface.co/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v-1-4-origin... (requir…
You should check their threads there, there's some good info.
