    Well, time to start looking around, I guess...

    RIP to my job of the last 23 years, as my position's been eliminated. Nice severance package, but the fact that's the last money I'm ever getting from them is an issue.

    Unfortunately, I don't get any money from adminning groups or moderating forums, or I'd be all set. :unsuresweetie:

    Going to take some time and let it sink in, and get all ready to go job hunting, I guess.

    For anyone noticing me not around quite as much...

    I'm still here, but I'm dividing my forum time a bit between here and the TARDIS Guide website, since these days, I'm one of the moderators over on the forums there. The website is one where you can keep track of what Doctor Who related episodes you have and haven't watched (as well as audio/comics/etc), review Doctor Who related stuff, and, of course,

    I'm still here

    At home, have not been out today, and no plans of going out.

    Just feel it's worth mentioning since I'm seeing things on the news about a shooting being filmed in an area in pretty easy walking distance of me...

    Santa Hat Time!

    It's traditional to put on a Santa hat for December, so I've gone ahead and switched for the month. As you might imagine, AI art again...

Adventures in AI Image Generation · 6:20am Oct 25th, 2022

I've been interested in trying out ai image generation for a while, ethical questions aside. While there are plenty of ai image generators online, they usually have limitations or want to charge you money eventually, and I thought it'd be more fun to set it up on my own computer, if it'd run.

Well, there's a free open source one called "Stable Diffusion". The computer I have with an RTX580 seemed like a good one to install it on until I realized Stable Diffusion is geared around Nvidia cards.

I do have a different computer with a GTX960 with 4 GB of VRAM, and it had 16 GB of memory. I decided to upgrade it to 32 GB after getting memory bottlenecked, but it actually works on this computer. I did have to pass it some parameters to tell it that my graphics card doesn't have much memory, though.

So, here's some prompts I ran on it after finding a pony image model.

Sweetie Belle as a bat pony, cute, adorable:

A purple bat pony with green eyes and a red mane eating a mango.:

A grey bat pony eating a sandwich.:

This is where I got Stable Diffusion from:
https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui

These are the command line arguments I used in webui-user.sh (This computer has Linux on it) --lowvram --opt-split-attention

Here's a pony model:

Here's the actual model people normally use. Though 1.5 just came out, so a lot of people probably still use 1.4.

Seems pretty promising, anyways, and fun to play with...

AI art is both cool and scary to look at.

Yep! Though sometimes it totally misses pieces of prompts or clearly has no idea what I'm looking for. A lot has to do with how common what I'm looking for was in the images it trained on, I think.

And the other question I end up with is whether the images are close enough to someone's drawings to be ripping them off, too, and that's a question there will be a lot of discussion on for quite a while, I think.

You are the right pony for this job! I had been looking at Stable Diffusion with a view to trying it, but I still find AI art to be an absolute horror show, so it's probably not a good idea. Although I guess this is the time of year for it :)

This is definitely a job for "Cute, adorable fluffy (Sweetie Belle) wearing (glasses)."!

It varies a lot. Sometimes it's great, and sometimes you're wondering where that body came from...

Also, sometimes it knows pony names and sometimes it doesn't. Any of the CMC were fine, and the mane 6 I've tried so far, but it didn't have a clue about Twist or Silver Spoon (though it could get close to Twist if I described her). Part of the trouble, I think, is it was trained on popular pictures, and if a pony isn't particularly popular, they aren't in the training as much.

It's a lot of fun to play with, though. Coming up with prompts, typing them in, and getting pictures a few minutes later is really neat. And I still have to play with all the img2img stuff, or most of the settings, really. I just found out what () and [] mean...
