The whole thing with SD is extremely interesting and difficult to keep up with as there are so many new things coming in almost daily. Just last week I saw ControlNet[1] which ads a lot more control. Today I saw what corridor crew[2] did to stabilize the randomness when you want to make videos. Very exciting.

The A1111 webUI and extension ecosystem is a beautiful example of what FOSS can be. - User can install with a few clicks, no thinking about command line - webUI has hover tooltips on everything, so user can most figure out what's going on without ever needing to touch documentation - A1111 has a tab which can load a list of extensions from a github page - Click to install, then refresh UI and extension just works - Users are getting new incredibly powerful extensions every week or two - deforum lets you sequentially generate as many frames as you want and stitch them into a video, controlnet lets you copypaste features from a source image to your target image(s). Controlnet was added to A1111 ~2 weeks ago and is already integrated into the deforum tab so you can use both together. Truly beautiful. I'd love to see more FOSS projects that felt so user friendly, generous with features, and rapid. Really fun to play with new cutting edge tech every couple weeks.

(I suspect they did not ask contributors to relicense, but hey)

In the corridow crew video you posted - the most interesting part is the beginning (interesting to ML practitioners).
