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.

You can run it with Cog: https://github.com/replicate/cog cog predict r8.im/stability-ai/stable-diffusion -i prompt="cow flying in space" Or you can run the Docker image directly. More details under "run on your own computer" here: https://replicate.com/stability-ai/stable-diffusion

Thanks! This worked for me finally. The conda approach suggested elsewhere was getting too complicated, and wasn't working properly (for me).

I built a simple UI around this, which installs Stable Diffusion's docker image, and lets you play with it locally in a browser-based UI. https://github.com/cmdr2/stable-diffusion-ui

Only a good education, can help stop most bad things, but I don’t think you can stop all, people will be people, people like challenges, will always figure a way though.

Why would people want to consume art that says nothing and means nothing? While this technology is fascinating, it produces the visual equivalent of muzak, and will continue to do so in perpetuity without the ability to reason.

That's the problem for me too. This tech is cool for games, stock images etc but for actual art it's pretty meaningless. The artist's experience, biography and relationship with the world and how that feeds into their work is the WHOLE point for me. I want to engage, via any real artistic product, with a lived human experience. Human consciousness in other words. To me this technology is very clever but it's meaningl…

Is the insinuation that games are not actual art? Don't you feel the perspective of a machine is a thing to also marvel at?

Try and do that. Likely those people won't care too much about you, they lean towards authority figures in their community. It is way easier to find those guys and corrupt them. Rather than running some underground news agency changing minds of millions of people. In fact quite often the former is the case + cheaper + less time to execute. "Western" societies will be more resilient to this scenario. So, mostly its go…

>"Western" societies will be more resilient to this scenario I would think western societies, with our higher consumption of media, would be less resilient. 'Fake news' is already a large issue here.

And thus we become more resilient. I know a lot of people who trusted news, now they verify, research presented data.

Yes but you need a GPU with 10Gb of vRAM

or just run it on baseten https://app.baseten.co/apps/VqK2vYP/operator_views/pqvba2q

If I recall from the interview with Stability.ai's founder, he has more or less the same opinion, and that humans will adapt to the new technology as we always have. I figure "please don't abuse this technology" warning stickers are more CYA. It'll make the vast majority of judges look at a motion to dismiss and not blink an eye.

Historically, he is correct. It is easy to find people that were against TVs, Cars, Trains, Electric Cars. Those people were not entirely wrong with their logic. Trains and cars did make it much easier for scammers to come into a town and then leave quickly.

are we even sure that TVs are a good thing?

My personal hunch is that this will end up leading to a situation in which presenters do a cryptographic handshake that works to verify and prove authenticity. This isn't a new idea, and it has some very obvious drawbacks, but I don't see much of a way around the issue. The handshake could work great for something like official news releases, but for other instances that might come up in court, say, dash cam footage…

Looking forward to a future where all a politician’s quotes are on a blockchain, signed by their private key, and they chose to do so voluntarily out of fear of deep fakes. Will remove all the useless “I didn’t say that”

Why would this require a blockchain?
