I feel like I’m watching an explosion of progress in AI image generation in real-time.

Every day there’s a new application of Stable Diffusion. It’s incredible to watch unfold

I think it's pretty notable how most of the explosion happened since stable diffusion released their model and code as open source, while Dall-E generated initial excitement with their closed source model, but limited progress / creativity since. It's a pretty nice demonstration I think of how much innovation can happen from openness.

Yes. Example #5*10^7 or so. Some people are just opposed ideologically or due to temperament. Locking things down is one of the best ways to make them die

GPT-4 (or a reduced version of it) should be opensource too if you ask me :P

Incredible for you, depressing for me.

I feel left behind...
