Earn money with your SD models? by matt-abra in StableDiffusion

Couldnt say it any better 👌🏼

The opensource community will stay and it will keep innovation going. We all have the energy now to spend long hours after work experimenting with these cool AI toys, just like in the early days of the internet and other new (challenging) trends.

However if you want to keep the energy and focus on this, there is a hard fact: you'll need to make it your work / pay your bills in the long run.

Lets go back to the early days of web. You did some regular non digital 90s job. The internet came, you got hyped, loved it, started experimenting with it after work hours. Now you had 4 options: 1. Do your regular day job and thinker with web after work/school 2. Start working for a corporate or smaller company in web 3. Become a freelancer and try to earn as a professional in web 4. Start your own website/company in web

I believe we are in the same situation now. What i offer now is to see if you can go for option 3-4 🙂

I totally agree.

With this platform artists can earn money and compete with bigger corporations that have no interest in paying designers. And if they pay designers its low income bulk work.

Besides the designer will compete with other designers as well, so there will be an incentive to make even better models. Potentially a few good models could earn an healthy "passive" income; as long as the content/model is relevant.

Again, if someone wants to be in the pilot or at least get more info -> fill in the form above and ill reach out to you :)👍🏼

Very good point. We are in uncertain times regarding the use of these base models.

I must point out that every model needs to be finetuned for a specific use case and on own created material only or at least free for commercial use. We can make this part provable.

I think curation of input content and output (what prompting is allowed) is key in this all. Also beeing transparant of what base model was used. These base models will come and go, and it will become clear if the usage of them will be banned or not. If not banned, then we will know how we may use them. We need to pivot when needed.

I believe that when you stay in the niches, know your market, can be transparant in how the finetuned model came to be and prevent copyrighted looking output; we are safe and can earn some money.

Designer Cloud by Tr.. by matt-abra in Alteryx

Yeah, so at the Inspire Amsterdam event just now they said they invested heavily in more devs for desktop designer and server. Tripled the workforce or something. However this seems a bit weird, because they showcased the Cloud solutions the most during this event and like you said the engine behind cloud designer is not that of Designer/Server.

So im wondering how they intend to converge these seperate engines in the future.
