payoff but had to :/
Agreed with the artist part. My previous startup (headlime.com, acquired by Jasper.ai), was mostly used by copywriters instead of non savvy folks. I genuinely believe that text2image AI will help artists, not hurt them.
- tlarkworthy 4y agoI use an invisible firebase anonymous login for public rate limiting. I have an open source example using openai https://observablehq.com/@tomlarkworthy/tarot-backend https://observablehq.com/@tomlarkworthy/tarot-backend
- hsbauauvhabzb 4y agoYou’re losing a huge market share by not solving this. I would have generated a few, but I’m not giving you or anyone else my email unless I really need something.
- echelon 4y agoA demo sells it. You should try to host the model yourself. Using the SD API is great for a POC, but to scale this and take full advantage of the cost benefits, you need to spin up a cloud GPU. Heck - you can even build an off the shelf PC and pull workloads from the cloud, and then upload the resulting images. That would work well within your traffic needs. Maybe the upfront cost isn't worth it to you, but if you already have the components ... (I've done this myself. I run a dual cloud / on-prem 3090 cluster.)

- stavros 4y agoI made this for a generator I made (example, https://phantasmagoria.stavros.io/images/6cJAbYyeDXfA6oHZ/ https://phantasmagoria.stavros.io/images/6cJAbYyeDXfA6oHZ/). It's just a task library (I used Dramatiq) with a worker that connects to it. Then the worker picks up tasks, processes them and uploads the results to R2.

- fastball 4y agoI'd rather sign up with a fake email than potentially be rate limited by someone in my same IP range.
