I can spend all day playing with Dall-E Mini, honestly, it blows my mind.
And i've seen images generated by Dall-E 2, they're even more mindblowerer
> are we even going to get any thing more advanced than this
have you seen the images generated by the people who have access to the beta of Dall-E 2?
People in several technology forums have noted that the developers AND google (part of the developing team) are kinda refusing to open the source of the second version of this technology, partially because of that, fears of being abused.
@FF777 BTW if you want to see more pictures of Dall-E 2, there's a subreddit where people who hav used it post the generated results https://www.reddit.com/r/dalle2/

well but that’s what i mean…. are we going to be able to use it? because it might be TOO DANGEROUS for society!
i’m not going to get excited about some thing if i’m not sure we are going to even be able to use it our selves..
but you know those “this X doesn’t exist” sites?.. one thought i had a few months ago was that….. you know how game programmers usually suck as artists, and so they have trouble making good graphics, or have to hire some one to make the art…. well i was realizing, eventually there will probably just be a site where you just type in what ever sprite you need for your 2D game like “green chair” and it probably gives you a list of like 100 different generated chairs you can use so people can finally program games with out having to worry about how to get good-looking art in to their games.. and i’m sure it would eventually work for 3D models too eventually in the future probably
it WILL BE dangerous to society... i can see this technology slashing a lot of grunt work in the field of design, stock photography and so, so maybe some people will end up losing jobs if they don't stand out in their field.
And regarding your other idea... i can see it happening in a very short future indeed! Combine the Dall-E 2 technology with new Nvidia algorythms which can create complete 3D models out of photos and you already got it.
@berkberkman @FF777 i think for these things (neural networks) they use arrays of GPUs., You could run a local instance of Dall-E Mini with a single strong off-the-shelf GPU, a guy in 4chan says that it's running one and it has an output of an image every 10 seconds. The stronger the GPU the faster.

the only thing i’m wondering is, where does it get all of its database from? how does it know what hatsune miku looks like? would you have to store a huge database on your computer i guess? and how humongous would that be?
@FF777 @berkberkman What i know is that you program the AI model, and then they fed the model million of random images each one with a caption and the model little by little learns to identify what it sees.
By the time the training ends, the AI built a knowledge database. So if you download a pre-trained model it already has knowledge on how everything looks. But you could also download a "blank" model and train it yourself with the images you feed it.
So TLDR no, you don't need to download the "source" database, just the knwoledge database that the AI formed during it's training. How big is that database i don't relly know.
@FF777 @berkberkman so i checked the repos and i think the pre-trained model for dall-e weights around 2gb
i played with it for a while a few days ago.. it was fun for a while but then you kind of learn its limits…. it seems to be able to put characters in to scenes well, but it doesn’t seem to be very good at making them do any thing besides just being in the scene.. like “wario wacking off luigi” might just show wario and luigi in a scene but you can’t make them punch each other really or any thing weird too much..
oh yeah maybe pro-tip: after you click Run the first time, if it gives you the “network too busy” error you can just keep pushing enter over and over to keep trying instead of having to click “OK” and “Run” again over and over..
but i’m also afraid of like……… are we even going to get any thing more advanced than this? i’m waiting for when they decide “you know what, people are abusing this AI too much! we will not release any thing else after this!”
