Did you make sure to use the 16 bit float weights?

I used the optimized script from https://github.com/basujindal/stable-diffusion , I think it does that automatically?

I'm pretty sure that script left actually obtaining the weights as an exercise for the the reader, unless I missed something.

I got the weights from Huggingface, put them in the correct directory, but it still segfaults. I'd probably see a better error message if the weighs were missing, no?

These models would exist, just without painterly style. Most of the training data is photos of real things, a lot of which is stock photography that has been ripped off much in the same way like those artists. It is a challenge to copyright law, but if artists are allowed learn by looking at other peoples work, why treat an AI differently?

Because the AI is not a person and there is no reason to treat it like one, including by allowing it to "learn by looking at other peoples work".

You're kicking the can down the road. Obviously, an AI is not a person, that's in the premise of the question. What makes an AI so different from a person that warrants differential treatment in this case? It's not that there aren't any good answers to this question, but yours is not much of an answer at all.

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.

That is literally the announcement.

The most interesting part, to me, of a release like this is the amount of "please don't abuse this technology" pleading. No licence will ever stop people from doing things that the licence says they can't. There will always be someone who digs into the internals and makes a version that does not respect your hopes and dreams. It's going to be bad. As I see it, within a couple years this tech will be so widespread and…

> Politics will be influenced. You can't trust anything you see anymore

How much could you trust media content previously? Staged footage, false narration, biased coverage are nothing new. A counter-intuitive side-effect of opening the Pandora's box could be a realization that media is a form of simulation. Perhaps this will lead more people to filter what they see through a prism of critical thinking.

I have a friend who paints, google/ athanasart. His paintings are usually purchased before they are even finished, and sometimes even stolen. All of that technology, Dalle2, Disco diffusion, Stable Diffusion, is totally boring to him. He doesn't even care. He will not install this technology to his machine, or use it online, even if he is paid to do it. I love Craiyon, Dalle2, Stable Diffusion, but just beautiful ima…

> but just beautiful images, are not art. But the definition of art can't depend on your knowledge of how was it made. I can show you two beautiful pictures and ask you if any of them is art, and you'd know I was trying to trick you. But you could pass a piece made by an AI as art if you didn't know how it was produced.

Yes, in case someone gets a painting without any additional information, a computer art piece, could easily be mistaken for a human art piece. That's true. My position on the subject is as follows, the best art for humans is made by humans, and the best art for computers is made by computers. Actually i have yet to see a computer generation on the same level as Mona Lisa, not even close. However computer generated women, some of them are alright!

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…

Learn to code.

I did. It has been my job at various points in the past. I hate it. It turns me into a bundle of swears and tension.

You need a decent GPU, though. I suspect my 6080MiB won't cut it any longer :(

Is Apple M1 support expected soon? Because even if Apple’s chips are slower, they have plenty of RAM on laptops. I saw some weeks ago it was coming, but I am not sure where to follow the process.

looks like there is a nightly release for apple silicon, https://towardsdatascience.com/gpu-acceleration-comes-to-pyt...

I read that you have to give longer prompts to Stable diffusion. This is my bison astronaut: https://i.imgur.com/ohIuG6F.png The prompt was: "A bison as an astronaut, tone mapped, shiny, intricate, cinematic lighting, highly detailed, digital painting, artstation, concept art, smooth, sharp focus, illustration, art by terry moore and greg rutkowski and alphonse mucha"

Not sure how you got that from stable diffusion. This is the kind of thing I get - just a bison. https://i.postimg.cc/bw1R10gB/A-bison-as-an-astronaut-tone-m...

I've found that sometimes you need a lot of attempts to get good results. Here's a run I just did, I'd say the top left result is OK, the bottom 2 are wrong/misinterpretations, and the top right result is fantastic: https://i.imgur.com/l8BsWvI.png

You can try https://github.com/cmdr2/stable-diffusion-ui . It installs Stable Diffusion to your local computer, and provides a simple browser-based UI for playing with it. No need to mess with conda and other environment settings.
