At the bottom of stable diffusion, there is a script called x/y/z. One of the subtypes is the prompt S/R. Let's say your prompt was 'dog with orange hair' . You put in 'dog, cat, mouse, human' into the S/R text box. This will search your prompt for the first word (or set of words: I like switching out artists names) and generate a picture swapping out the first word for the next in the list. You can even do another one where you type in 'orange, red, blue, green' and you can get a grid of pictures with the first one a orange dog, and the other corner a green human.
Well damn, I liked Emad in some ways, and he was a bit of a nut in others. I wonder what will become of Stability? I enjoyed that Stable Diffusion was available for everyone to freely use, unlike OpenAI’s models. I hope it stays that way, but I have my doubts, seeing as how it sounds theyre desperate to monetize.
it’s that they basically created a ddos attack with how they were scraping the data.
This is trivial to mitigate with a common-sense throttling. You throttle at a level that would not bother a human, but would still block a bot. Almost all websites like Instagram do this.
Yeah, that’s why it’s ultimately on Midjourney for not protecting against that.
My point was just that the title is misleading and this isn’t a case of them banning a dev account just for scraping. It’s pretty standard to ban accounts that exhibit bot-like behavior, so this really isn’t even news.
Someone was scraped Midjourney’s gallery website fast enough to cause a mild DoS attack. So they’re kind of mad about that. They don’t seem to have a lot of overhead. They can barely run all of their services from what I understand.
Great to know that after the downturn in crypto and nft, the tech grifters have found a new way to pummel the climate into submission with entirely meaningless energy usage.
Let’s goooo! Bring me more awful ai generated tech news article images.
