The AI-generated art with Dreambooth works only for avatar type pics. It cannot create fancy gestures (doing a complicated movement with hands, like patting a cat). For now.

"Gal Gadot wearing green suit" triggered it while "Tom Cruise wearing green suit" didn't.

The difference between stable diffusion and GPT-3 is the former is open source, meaning you don't have to pay tributes to one party.

The barrier entry to developing apps on top of Diffusion is higher because you have to setup GPU instances. It's quite expensive, compared to OpenAI's GPT-3 where you can just use their API.

I think we should move the discussion to this thread:

The creator of Stable Diffusion gave the indication of text-to-video:

I wonder how people behind Imagen feel about this. Stable Diffusion is open source. DALL-E is open for public (albeit, with some limitations).

"an unlimited and open local tool" -> Not everyone has GPU or powerful machines.

For some categories like realistic people, DALL-E is better.

"A former Bumble product manager says that a majority of women on the platform tend to set a floor of 6 feet for men, which would limit their candidate pool to about 15% of the population."

6 feet = 182 cm.

The founders of Ethereum and Figma are alumni of this fellowship.

Ethereum valuation is $200B.

Figma valuation is $20B.

Today is the day when Ethereum Merge is happening and Adobe acquiring Figma.

A startup backed by YC tries to make Discord (and Slack) Google-searchable:

https://www.linen.dev/

Request: build your own search engine, build your own Unreal (or game engine), build your own TikTok (the recommendation part is tricky), build your own Ethereum (the VM is interesting).

Congrats for the launching.

Anyway, just want to comment the product niche. Vertical search engine? Interesting. Will we see another vertical for a search engine product?

Well, in China they ask this trolley problem.

If you were a son, would you save your mother or your gf?

The "correct answer" is your mother.

"China's ministry of justice later posted the "correct" answer: exam writers are duty-bound to save their mothers. It would be a "crime of non-action" to choose romantic love over filial duty. "

I guess we will have text-to-image startups in the next batch of YC.

"No model, regardless of size, outperformed the best-performing human on any task. However, for some tasks, the best-performing model beat the average human."

To be fair, it's hard to predict the future.

Backed by YC, there is one startup doing that:

Don't forget Co-Star.

We're talking about the scale. This is "manual image editing" on steroid.

Both short men and overweight women get the short end of the stick in their life. Rather than dragging this into a gender war, perhaps we should have more compassion to unattractive people (both men and women).
