Artificial intelligence seems to think hell is as scary as it’s made out to be. “Stable Diffusion is a machine learning, text-to-image model to generate digital images from natural language descriptions. The underlying approach was developed at LMU Munich and then extended by a collaboration of StabilityAI, LMU, and Runway with support from EleutherAI and LAION. The model can be used for other tasks too, like generating image-to-image translations guided by a text prompt. It can run on most consumer hardware equipped with a modest GPU and was hailed by PC World as “the next killer app for your PC”. Stability AI, the company behind Stable Diffusion, is in talks to raise capital at a valuation of up to one billion dollars as of September 2022.”
