Hi! Creator here! I just started hacking on this last night and wasn't expecting to see this on HN already :) It works by taking your prompt and generating an emoji using https://replicate.com/fofr/sdxl-emoji . Next, I remove the background using https://replicate.com/cjwbw/rembg . Then, click to download and add to slack! It's all open-source, code is here: https://github.com/cbh123/emoji Let me know if you have any…

I really like it. It does seem to be suffering a little from some biases that are probably coming from sdxl though.

I think it has some xss attack as on load my ios safari asked if i want to download 2girls1cup.jpg

It seems to use %s.jpg as a filename and to request the browser to download the picture you clicked on as that filename, so probably some larrikin typed 2girls1cup in as a prompt and you happened to click on whatever picture came out and was in the feed.

Elixir... don't see that every day. I started reading through the code and was like "what the heck is an ex file?!!" Never really seen Elixir before. Looks pretty nice.

Elixir is a killer language and tool. It's considered esoteric these days but I think more and more folks are going to wake up to the inherent beauty of the Erlang BEAM and OTP applications pretty soon here.

Is Elixir really considered esoteric? There’s some pretty big businesses running on it.

Drug dealer, car thief, car jacker, drive-by-shooter, murderer...all of those things and many other crime related terms will give you a black person. Quite a shit thing to be happening.

AI models and their biases are reflections of the biases of society. I don’t like them, but it’s hard to argue with the fact it’s just math producing the semantic best likelihood based on publicly sourced training data.

It's not one way though it perpetuates the bias. I'm not blaming the author of this as its Stability AI that need to clean their data.

It produces some "interesting" results. I put in "robber" expecting that one emoji everybody thinks exists but doesnt, and I got a black guy with a white beanie/hat. Apart from that it produces insanely convincing results. I believe people would not bat an eye if they'd get added in an update to iOS!

What biases?

Super cool! I would add a checkbox to toggle whether you want background removal, or make that an optional second step. In about half the cases I tried, the background was an important part of my image and without it only weird artifacts remained.

great idea! working on this now

See that's the thing about content creation— you entirely lose the "it's just a tool and tools are inherently neutral" argument. Nobody's claiming that the implementor created deliberately racist content, but you can't merely disavow responsibility for the content you generate because the input and algorithms you chose were the root of the problem. Like it or not, what's included in the source data for these models i…

Actually I think “it’s a reflection of society’s bias” is a totally reasonable statement to make if you’re product is a reflection of societies generated content.

Rather than impugning the model makers for not curating societies content to erase its biases, to my mind it demonstrates what’s broken with society, and should be used as an indictment of how we encode our society in our media - the fact that if you asked an oracle a question it produces racist output is more an indictment of society itself because the media of our society IS racist. Sweeping it under the rug serves no one, IMO.

Instead the story is “AI models are racist,” which misses the real problem. The real problem is that when a human in our society wants to portray a robber, they use a black man. That should be the story, and pitching it as a flaw with AI models is like criticizing the color of the paint when the foundation is cracked.
