Out of curiosity, I asked ChatGPT to generate 10 new pangrams. The list it provided certainly had the feel of some of the more vexing examples of a pangram, but curiously did not contain all 26 letters. I then asked it to count how many uni

Won't say "never!" - Just seems NVidia has a stranglehold on the AI space w/ CUDA. We're mainly waiting on others in the space (And/or increase investment by Intel/AMD) to offer support more broadly. At th

Ought to! There are some enhancements coming down the pipe for Macs w/ CoreML, so while they won't be as fast as having a higher end NVidia, they'll continue to get performance increases, as well.

Hey all - InvokeAI maintainer here. A few folks mentioned us in other comments, so posting a few steps to try out this model locally. Our Repo: https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI You will need one of the following:

Similarly, my only real experience following is Dota - I blame my teenage years in War3 mods with that fascination. Aside from the payout & incentive structure for players, the game is very much dependent on aligning player skillsets, h

There is a significant learning curve to using SD - Not just in developing the craft of prompting, but recognizing that fine-tuned model choice and tooling choices play a significant role in output quality, and the ability to control the ge

This phrase is deeply meaningful to me, and one that I’ve contemplated a lot. When I find myself in the depths of frustration dealing with my screaming kids, remembering that I will die one day makes me grateful for every cry. https:/

I'm unclear on what you're asking me to opine on, but if you're looking for me to state my stance, as differentiated from the two aforementioned parties, here it is. TL;DR - Armchair experts on either side of the argument mak

Invoke, shared a few weeks ago, uses MIT and adheres to best practices in respecting model licenses/requirements (e.g., agreeing to not use it for hate speech, harming others, etc.) Automatic on the other hand, seems actively opposed t

Create a culture where making mistakes is ok, but failing to learn from those mistakes is unacceptable. Not mine - That's a Dalio principle. But one that is very sorely needed in many work environments.

From my observation of the devolution on the SD Discord and reddit, that "spam ring" might just have been his user base.

Luckily, the team has a pretty jampacked roadmap. This is v1 of the full WebUI.

One click install is a goal, we just need a contributor who is confident taking it on as a project.

My take is that the “genie is out of the bottle” Single source “massive models” may be more difficult to get out, but Emad said they’re working in licensing a ton of content to train future models. Even then, anyone can train new models now

Oh, no snark interpreted! Very valid question. I legitimately think the answer is - - Experimental/novel SD features, Automatic typically has them first - Better UI/UX and exploration/gallery workflows, Invoke. From a featur

To be fair- Auto has been acquiring features at an insane clip (recently getting banned from the SD discord for accusations of code theft lol) I think Invoke is competitive for now, but biggest advantage is an improved UX, and a large commu
