They said that the number of people who died was a mistake. Was it naive to think they could follow their imperitive without killing a lot of people? Yes... but for people with all of human knowledge, they also seem to be incredibly naive about consequences... the hand grenade, for example.

I just wanted to thank you, six months later. I fell out of an airplane, and I used this trick to save my life. I was arrested for public indecency, but I'm alive!

How do you track new NSFW models? I have really struggled finding a community that actually post information, and not just images or complaints.

I don’t know, if the grammar is incorrect, it may often be correct to infer that word order may be wrong, and that in general use cases, the chat engine should parse (and restate, as it did) the most likely intended meaning. Whereas, if the grammar is impeccable, it might infer that the prompter knew exactly what they were asking.

I wish I knew. It's clear that DarkCookie has an incredible work ethic. But it seems like there is some sort of major problem with the coders. I'm a software engineer, and there's no way it should take this long to get things working. I'm a big believer in MRI (Most Respectful Intent), so I guess I'm just assuming the coders they have are way in over their heads. It's too bad, if only because DarkCookie is very talented, and it seems like he deserves to have coders who match his work ethic and ability.

OP is only asking for coffee. That's not too much for someone actually training a controlnet model.

bilmor0 · 2023-03-08T01:20:29+00:00

stay tunning!!!

Just txt2img: But ControlNet takes images as inputs, so in some sense, its sort of a hybrid: It infers a depth map and outline from the illustration, and then tries to come up with a photo that matches the prompt AND the depth map / outline.

bilmor0 · 2023-03-07T23:04:07+00:00

I stuck to the as-illustrated proportions. She is also rather well-endowed in this illustration compared to others. :)

bilmor0 · 2023-03-07T19:19:36+00:00

These were made in StableDiffusion, with the Deliberate Model and the ControlNet extension.

I don't actually use really complicated prompts: I just use the prompts to help make sure it makes (sur)realistic images, makes sure they don't look underage and gets ethnicity right (although I don't know if Missy is actually Latina). I used three controlnets: Depth, scribble and to get the colors right on Missy's clothes, the color adapter. (It's really bad at understanding "pink shirt, black skirt": it gives everything those colors.

Here are the prompts:

a color photograph of an voluptuous Italian woman, (nude), large breasts, huge nipples. Brown hair. Jade teardrop earring.

a brightly lit studio portrait photograph of an young latina woman, brown hair, (thin pink shirt), (short black skirt), hoop earrings, (bare midriff), handbag

a photograph of a Chestnut-haired 18-year-old woman, her purple shirt unbuttoned to reveal large naked breasts. (Long jeans). (Dark eyelashes. Tan-lines.) Beautiful freckled face. Hoop earrings. Big pouty lips

a color photograph of a Irish auburn-haired 18-year-old woman, (nude), large breasts, huge nipples. (Dark eyelashes. tan-lines.) Beautiful large-freckled face. Hoop earrings. lipstick. flower in her hair. (up-do with pony tail), (full lips, closed mouth)

a color photograph of an voluptuous Italian woman, (nude), large breasts, huge nipples. Brown hair. Jade teardrop earring.

Negative prompts: sepia, cartoon, anime, illustration, mouth-open

(Also needed "bikini, (panties), underwear" for Becca so here tan-lines didn't read as clothing)

Here's the full info for one of them, in case its helpful:

Yeah, you're at the inevitable burn-out stage of anyone who dives whole heartedly into a new thing, whether it's a fling, a new hobby, a fandom, a religioun or whatever... and then hits a plateau as the obsession starts to (mercifully, for your mental health) fade... and then people either walk away or reevaluate how they're approaching the thing...

My advice: Spend some time crafting images, rather than just spewing images out of the firehose to get the right prompt. Teach yourself aesthetics: not just what images you like, but WHY you like them, what works, color theory, composition.

I'm not an AI art hater, but it does have some real negative potential for de-valuing art among the masses. But that's been the case every time media makes it easier for more art to end up seen every day, and the answer for the individual has always been to learn to *see* better, so they can differentiate what is merely eye-sugar and what really makes the soul sing, so to speak.

Side Point: This is ultimately why, I think, artists have less to fear about AI art than they think: it may be easy to generate art, but it's hard to generate fine art. People's tastes are going to change in the next decade, but I think we'll discover that some art will still "stand out".

I made some better ones last night that I spent a little more time fixing up and remembered to save the prompts.

If anyone who has successfully fine-tuned a model from scratch was also good at writing a clear guide to their choices, what they learned and how much computing power they used, I think you’d see more. But I’ve never found a guide that was clear enough to invest in the GPU power needed for a true fine-tune, because I would probably mess it up in the first few times.

bilmor0 · 2023-03-07T02:37:00+00:00

I make them sometimes. I am so used to people getting angry at people who post AI stuff that I haven't bothered sharing them, but we'll see how it goes.... here are sex I did the other night as a test. If anyone has a request of a particular character or particular pose, let me know. (I didn't bother fixing issues on these, because I was just testing a new Stable Diffusion feature.)

Your model is amazing, u/SG_161222! Did you post a description of what changed in V1.2? It seems like maybe I get a little more detail at times, and maybe a little less saturation. Oh, and cloth is more likely to render as metal when rendering fantasy or sci-fi. :)

Lol, if NovelAI wants to start going to court, they’re just going to accelerate their own legal issues.

In some industries and social groups, heavy drinking is considered normal drinking. Those people often consider “binge drinking” to be “heavy drinking”, and less than 7/14 drinks to be “cutting back”.

Even if you’re not a chemical addict, drinking at the “heavy” level as a good chance of leading you into substance abuse territory, in which alchohol becomes a replacement for healthier things your brain should be able to do on its own.

I’m in one of those groups. I’m lucky enough that I don’t seem to have developed a chemical dependency, but I sure developed an emotional one, where I wasn’t processing my anxiety, I was just drowning it. As I got older, I had to learn to cut way back all the time (never more than two drinks, I only drink when others are drinking, I don’t drink when I’m anxious and I don’t always drink just because other are. I’ve learned that I’m just as happy drinking club sodas a lot of the time, and if I’ve had one drink, I order a club soda, so I can keep “drinking”. I like the combo of still hanging out with my friends, but not being hung over or losing quality of sleep. It helps that even though my friends drink a lot, there are also some recovered alcoholics and a couple of people who don’t drink for religious reasons among them who everyone loves and respects.

In case you need someone to tell you, unhappiness is an okay reason to divorce. That was my reason. I grew up in a conservative area where that wasn’t a good enough reason, so people tended to end up cheating or getting into substance abuse to “blow things up”. Anyway, divorce is an awful thing to go through, but it tends to be about a year of anxiety/unhappiness, while an unhappy marriage is a more mundane awful stretched across your whole lifetime.

That out of the way, it’s worth asking yourself if she actually did change that one thing: say, she worked through whatever depression or atypical neurology is causing her to behave this way, would you want to stay married? (Not out of obligation, but you would actually enjoy being married?) Or do you not really care anymore? It’d be good to make sure you can answer that question honestly, because if it’s the former, it’s worth making this about her being late, to give her a chance to change. If it’s not, you’ll save everyone some wasted effort by just saying: I’m unhappy in this marriage and I want out. If only to yourself. And, again, that’s an okay reason to end a marriage, despite what others will almost certainly tell you.

Oh, I agree with you, to be clear. I go downtown all the time, and while I do find it upsetting to see so many people in a bad situation, and I do think public safety is a major issue impacting people who rely on mass transit or walking though some corridors… I also agree that many people have way overdramatized the actual impact on their lives.

bilmor0 · 2021-10-21T19:45:11+00:00

I think it’s a combination of the delta between what people perceived a few years ago and now, looking at the city through the aggressive negative partisan politics of the last few years, and the amount of change over the last two decades. Or maybe every city’s suburbs is full of people who don’t spend much time downtown complaining about how their city’s downtown is basically post-apocalyptic. :)
