I used to work with a Michael Hunt. Brilliant guy and normally pretty chill, but woe betide anyone shortening it to it’s diminutive form. I accidentally called him Mike once and he literally never responded to me again.

Hahaha. A rented Opel was what came to mind for me as well. Followed by Plymouth Crossfire and Chevy HHR.

That reads like ChatGPT used reddit comments to flesh out the “article”.

Respect. Knowing what it takes to do all that… this is clearly a labor of love. I messed with SegmentAnything and never got any useful results. Guess I need to give it another shot.

Dad got Mom pregnant accidentally. Because of that, they settled down to raise a kid. Then, living together led to another kid, and another. Etc.

IIRC, A1111 has an extension to interrogate. I think it does BLIP or CLIP or Deepdanbooru. It can do batch and write out to a text file per image.

Same. My parents mostly served as a counter-example.

For the idiom-challenged: “hit the sack”

If I were going to try for this, I would first try YiffyMix for the first pass, then see if I can get good results using a photorealistic model on a second pass with Hires fix or img2img. If that doesn’t do it, I bet that with regional prompter could make it work. I’m not as good with that though, so I usually only resort to it if I can’t get what I need another way.

e: I’m talking local stable diffusion here, usually A1111

Yiffymix?

It is a ton of work to make it look that way and then only looks good for a few weeks. Not worth it.

Say, would you like a chocolate covered pretzel?

It does if you have seen a lot of AI images, especially SD.

Oh cool. I ought to try that one…i know there are various ways to achieve tjings like this, some of which I’ve tried, but i was never satisfied with them.

That is a lovely teapot

Gerald was a tall giraffe

Whose neck was long and slim.

But his knees were awfully crooked

And his legs were rather thin.

He was very good at standing still,

And munching shoots off trees.

But when he tried to run around,

He buckled at he knees.

shit, you’re right. I had the two confused.

Same. I voted 3rd party last presidential election cycle and it was cool because according to partisans (and their “support my team or you love Satan”,) this means I also got to vote for Hillary and Trump at the same time! Separate people assured me of this several times, so it must be true. Isn’t democracy great?

In all seriousness, I’d like to see a moderate party run a candidate. “No Labels” Forward (the party that’s totally-not-a-party, founded by Andrew Yang) seems promising.
