We need more of the stable diffusion tool set in 3d AI creation. Upscaling does incredible things in SD adding in all kinds of detail and bringing 512x512 to 4k. Inpainting to redo weird arms or deformities. Controlnets like outlines, depth

These days I feel like spider man swinging from in app browser to safari to another in app browser to open in app. Sometimes switching 3-4 browsers before getting to my destination. Absolutely ridiculous, and should certainly be eliminated.

He's been posting some really interesting 3d art and composition on Instagram, where he also announced he was retiring from DJing. Glad to see him explore his art the way he sees fit instead of turning into a music factory.

There are so many overlaps between diffusion and LLM, I wonder this kind of thing all the time!

I would say the issue is also that those do drink are protective about their habits. They get quite defensive about being judged and will respond strongly to any threats they perceive against their drinking habits. This is characteristic of

Thought leadership - get into social media, share your opinions (especially the tough ones) that led you to create this. Post 5x a day on many platforms. Take courses in social media and promotion. Yes, it's hard as an introvert! But o

I think this is just for pre-release, and they will release fully licensed for Commercial. It doesn't make sense to have a model like this that can do game changing text and logos... but then not license it for commercial. If they don&

I'm really hoping for the ability to load in different sets of trained material as embeddings/textual inversions like in Stable Diffusion. Imagine scanning in some of your favorite philosophy and design books and throwing them wit

Akai has really been disappointing since they were purchased by inMusic brands. They have released a bunch of half baked products with serious bugs. (Looking at you, Akai Force).
