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.

It's my fucking job. I've spent my whole fucking life getting good at drawing. I can probably manage to keep finding work but I am really not happy about what this is going to do to that place where a young artist is right at the threshold of being good enough to make it their job. Because once you're spending most of your days doing a thing, you start getting better at it a lot faster . And every place this shit get…
You got to move one step higher and work with ideas and concepts instead of brushes. AI can generate more imagery than was previously possible, so it's going to be about story telling or animation.
But here's all these motherfuckers trying to automate me out of a job. It's not even a boring, miserable job. It's a job that people dream of having since they were kids who really liked to draw. Fuck 'em.

I mean I get what you're saying, sucks to have someone or something take your job, but isn't this a neo-luddite type argument? AI is gonna come for us all eventually.
Please save this comment and re-read it when a new development in AI suddenly goes from "this is cute" to "holy fuck my job feels obsolete and the motherfuckers doing it are not gonna give a single thought to all the people they're putting out of work". Thank you.

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 :(

AI will just replace existing jobs. It is unethical since a lot of people will be destroyed but our leaders sponsored by the majority's insatiable appetite for power will soon make it legal. AI is a new tool that will automate away a lot of workers like other machines. What happens with these workers is what defines us.
And there are a lot of influencers saying that it will be "really nice that AI will replace the boring jobs so we can focus on creative/fulfilling life" yeah right...
> Moravec's paradox is the observation by artificial intelligence and robotics researchers that, contrary to traditional assumptions, reasoning requires very little computation, but sensorimotor and perception skills require enormous computational resources. The principle was articulated by Hans Moravec, Rodney Brooks, Marvin Minsky and others in the 1980s. Moravec wrote in 1988, "it is comparatively easy to make computers exhibit adult level performance on intelligence tests or playing checkers, and difficult or impossible to give them the skills of a one-year-old when it comes to perception and mobility".

It’s the opposite of exciting if art is your job, lemme tell you.
Kinda like the creation of copilot and it's ilk for programmers, and gpt3 for writers. Ive seen some talk recently around 'prompt engineers'... Probably to some extent, every job will become prompt engineering in some way. Eventually I suppose the AIs will also do the prompts. At which point I hope we've all agreed to a star trek utopia, or it's gonna get real bad. Or maybe it'll get way better.
IIRC there is some vague "it sure got real bad" somewhere in the Trek timelines between "capitalism ended" and "post-scarcity utopia" and I sure am not looking forwards to living through those times. Well, I'm looking forwards to part of that, I'm looking forwards to the part where we murder a lot of landlords and rent-seekers and CEOs and distribute their wealth. That'll be good.
Moral question: Such tool will be used to generate lewd imagery involving virtual minors. No way to prevent it upstream by outlawing feeding it real content (whose possession already is illegal). Suffice to add 'childrenize' layer onto adult NN or something. How will the legal system react ? Bundle it into illegal imagery, period ? Maybe it's already the case - I think drawing made public is, not sure. If not, on wha…
I'm getting a 403 on the Colab (while successfully logging in and providing a huggingface token). Is it already disabled? Do you have to pay huggingface to download the model? It's unclear from the Colab and post where the issue is.
The solution seems to be to visit https://huggingface.co/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4 and check a checkbox and click the button to confirm access. The full error I also got was: HTTPError: 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: https://huggingface.co/api/models/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4/revision/fp16 I visited https://huggingface.co/api/models/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v... and saw {"error":"Access to model CompVis…

>make a hyperrealistic pornographic image of you with a gorilla[0] I don't understand this irrational fear. This can be done today, just need some minutes instead of some seconds to create a good Photoshop. Also, seriously this is the thing you fear? fake porn? there are much worse thing you can do with this tech, like phising, falsifications, etc. Not mentioning leaving millions of graphic designers out of job.
That's what I was thinking. Whether a pornographic picture of me and a gorilla was made by photoshop or AI is irrelevant. People's reactions will be the same, and repercussions will be mostly the same (which doesn't means there will be consequences). If someone really wants to hurt you, not having AI isn't going to stop them.
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…
Unfortunately I'm getting this error message (Win11, 3080 10GB):
