What Hacker News says
12 sourcesOnly some builds support it. This is the one I'm familiar with: [0]. () around a word causes the model to pay more attention to it, [] around a word causes the model to pay less attention. There's an example at the link.

In DALL·E Now Available Without WaitlistI'm using the one I linked in my original post: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui
The only command line argument I'm using is --lowvram, and usually generate pictures at the default settings at 512x512 image size.
You can see all the command line arguments and what they do here: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki...
In High-performance image generation using Stable Diffusion in KerasCV> This is by far the most popular and active right now: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui
While technically the most popular, I wouldn't call it "by far". This one is a very close second (500 vs 580 forks): https://github.com/sd-webui/stable-diffusion-webui/tree/dev
In High-performance image generation using Stable Diffusion in KerasCVNope. There are instructions for Windows, Linux and Apple Silicon in the readme: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui
There's also this fork of AUTOMATIC1111's fork, which also has a Colab notebook ready to run, and it's way, way faster than the KerasCV version: https://github.com/TheLastBen/fast-stable-diffusion
(It also has many, many more options and some nice, user-friendly GUIs. It's the best version for Google Colab!)
In High-performance image generation using Stable Diffusion in KerasCVThere are forks that even work on 1.8 of VRAM! They work great on my GTX 1050 2GB.

In High-performance image generation using Stable Diffusion in KerasCVShow HN: A couple of links about Stable Diffusion AI Generation
I've been studying Stable diffusion for some days and this Github page I linked in the title shows the incredible power that Stable Diffusion has Right now, and it is growing everyday. I think people on HN ought to know and discuss about it, and share their ideas and discoveries.
It can do text-to-image out of nothing with a customer-grade GPU, and image-to-image for incredible variations that you can guide with the criteria you choose.

Just check that picture out, I made variations from the base picture top-left, either to black-ened, or to white-ened, or to the combination of both... The power is infinite. It is called "Prompts matrix".
You can run it from your own computer preferably with 8GB VRAM+ GPU, or cloud-based virtual machine (I managed to run it on Microsoft Azure but not for cheap). To install Stab

le Diffusion and experiment for yourself, simply follow this page guidance: https://rentry.org/voldy#-guide-
If you just want to try out simply you can check out "beta.dreamstudio.ai" but it's not free beyond the first 200 images. It is free on Huggingface but it's struggling with the demand so I Won't link it.
It generates 512x512 imges, but you can ENHANCE the fuck out of it with this link: https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN
Check out the link "Portable Windows". You can commandline it and batch a whole folder with a .bat script, on Windows (and Unix of course). It's free, no strings attached (as far as I know).
If you generate texture or paintings you can generate a normal map and a displacement map, with CrazyBump.com. You can BATCH it a whole folder to their respective normals. There is a free trial which does the job, but buy it if you can, because it's awesome.
Here is a cool link about SD: https://lexica.art/ ("the SD search engine")
Here's to showcase the most important PROMPTs the engine can handle: http://stable-diffusion-guide.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws...
At this link, you can buy and sell PROMPTS: https://promptbase.com/ (it's a great place to have great ideas)
Finally here's a database of prompts and their generated picture, to get ideas: https://laion-aesthetic.datasette.io/laion-aesthetic-6pls/im...
That's it for what I learned as of know. I hope people will talk about that and so we can get more nerds into the Stable Diffusion and make it even more open and awesome.
Thank you for reading
I'm currently trying to put 1000x wallpaper seamless textures into UE5 Marketplace. I'm saddened to see this news.^^. Well, fuck money anyway right? Here's a tip, you can produce all you need if you follow this guide:

Just check what this stuff can do:

For textures: Once you have generated the color map (diffuse) from StableDiffusion, you can use CrazyBump to BATCH create the normal map and displacement map. I'm currently at my 200th file iteration.

CrazyBump, all the cool kids are using it.
Now this is where I'm at. Call me crazy. I'm forgetting stuff surely, but it's the best I can do. Go and change the world.
PS: You can Batch Upscale the 512 to beautiful 2k+ with this link:
https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN
Here are my best attempts: https://imgur.com/a/obZH7X5
Not a very wide range of what I could do with the idea in terms of composition, but just some variations of finishing touches/intermediate steps. I achieved this with some human-in-the-loop iteration and inpainting, but it was no more than 15-30 minutes toying around with it, and I'm no artist.
If you have a semi-decent graphics card and would like to experiment with a bunch of extra settings and tools than are readily available online, this is a good repo for that: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui
In The AI UnbundlingThis really is a one-click installer, which is excellent. As far as I know it's the first and only one for M1. It's quite a polished UI, but there are a lot of features missing. The first ones that come to mind are:
- No way to specify a seed. This is an important part of SD workflows, letting you redo an image with a slightly tweaked a prompt.
- No way to specify a custom model. Alternative models (such as Waifu Diffusion) are fun to play with too.
- No way to generate batches of images.
- No way to specify which sampler to use.
- No way to adjust the weight of specific sub-phrases, or use negative weights.
There's also no img2img yet, but it sounds like that's a planned feature.
Other GUIs such as https://github.com/sd-webui/stable-diffusion-webui, https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui have many more features - but not

all will be trivial to port to M1.
P.S.: For the people asking - yes, it can do NSFW images. I checked.
Before all the webuis came out, I had success following the README.
It looks like they've got a nice python notebook: https://github.com/deforum/stable-diffusion/blob/main/Deforu...
For other cases I would reccomend this repo which has a user script feature: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui#user...
