HN is just incredibly bad at figuring out what kind of ML projects are worth getting excited about and what aren't.
MJ v4 doesn't even use Stable Diffusion as a base [0]; a fine-tune of the latter will never come close to achieving what they do.

- kossTKR 4y agoIt doesn’t use stablediffusion? I thought everything besides dall-e was sd under the hood.
- tsurba 4y agoMj earlier versions were around before SD came out. Before dall-e 2 too, but after 1 IIRC. So I assume they have their own custom setup. Perhaps based on dall-e 1 paper originally (not weights as they were never published) and improved from there.
- kossTKR 4y agoInteresting i thought stable diffusion was the only other "big player" besides OpenAI because of the expenses in training and extrapolating from papers / new research. Is Midjourney heavily funded? Because if they can battle SD why aren't we seeing lots of people doing the same, even in the Open Source space?
