May the 4th be with you, friends!😁

@BeAware Tried this image... best I could do.
@joe Was that using lexica? It wouldn't let me generate someone smoking a joint. That's like half my personality.

@BeAware It is, trying "getting high" as a prompt now.

@BeAware welp
@joe
yeah...I doubt this model will be very useful for me, unfortunately. It is pretty neat. It just doesn't do the kind of things I'd normally do.

I played with it a ton last night and generally liked what it did but I maybe wasn't as creative... I got stuck having it design tattoos.

@joe
nice! As soon as I get my PC back, I'll be able to mess with it more comfortably. Hopefully only a few more days for that. -

I could build an image generator site for about $350 a month I think. Could grab any model off one of the sites and let it loose for $10 a month?
EDIT: The underlying claim is the cost is a half cent and you charge 5 cents per image.

@joe I highly doubt that's possible given the computational power needed to run an image generator. ChatGPT doesn't even make a profit on their $200 a month customers.

@BeAware Nvidia T4 or Amazon SageMaker can do it for a fraction of the cost that we'd pay Lexica, Midjourney or even ChatGPT. The hard part would be ramping up enough customers to cover costs it seems - you'd have to eat a few months while you heavily advertise. And you'd have to probably allow images that could land you in court.

@joe Right... probably more cost effective to find one that lets you generate images that would put someone else in court.

@BeAware Thing is, I don't want to generate images - I want to just start a business.

@joe Yeah...it might not be financially viable, but you could try if you have the funds to hold it up until it turns a profit.

️@BeAware I think I have that. I'm really curious about doing this, I might create a prototype.

@joe
let me know how it goes and when I get my PC back, I'll try it, if you go through with it.There's a crowdsourced project that uses a network of volunteers PCs to run models and generate images for free called AI Horde. It's ran by a man here on Fedi. It's pretty neat!
