I also asked it to generate a bunch of pictures of "a planet".  Made like 8 of them or so.  

All of them were basically pictures of the Earth, two of them were Earth with Saturn's rings so that was interesting.  I think 2 of them were an almost identical Earth at the same angle, and 4 of the others were at different angles. 

That's a major flaw. With stable diffusion I'd only encounter that issue if I had a specific part of the prompt cranked too high. Like hamsterx3 would produce an identical extreme version of a hamster, but just the regular prompt would produce many different hamsters.

Hopefully the non-distilled version is better.

I bought a running watch. Only had it for one day, but at least last night I saw my heart rate was 49 bpm before going to bed. So that's pretty good!

But today I did a treadmill run (winter has come) and it seems to have totally spazzed out. Thought my average heartrate was 180 bpm. I was running for 35 minutes so that is pretty much impossible unless I am a freak of nature, but I can't explain it with standard tracking problems like cadence lock.


Oh well. Will try again on Thursday. Maybe I'll be getting a chest strap heartrate monitor for Christmas.

Netflix is aiming to buy Warner Bros.

Would be a huge hit to my hobby. 

Wow!!!

That'd suck for so many reasons. I don't hate netflix, but man is netflix just such a mediocre company. Everything is like a 5/10 from them nowadays.

And I hope they don't screw up videogames.

I'm doing great. Finally done with my sickness and now feeling really energized. For work, health, and life in general.

Also reached the lowest weight I have ever had as an adult, just barely beating the record I set back in May before I had a minor surgery and got off course. It's funny how pitiful it is, spending so many months plateaued, but of course still very exciting.

I feel like the biggest issue with Z-image is that it's too consistent. Which is likely a limitation of the turbo version.

It generally generates high quality images of anything I've put in, but if you try to generate from the same prompt, the image will usually be very similar.

I did a hamster planet, and it kept generating very similar hamsters. The actual planet part was different each time. But the hamster would have the same color, the same fur, etc. 

That's a major flaw. With stable diffusion I'd only encounter that issue if I had a specific part of the prompt cranked too high. Like hamsterx3 would produce an identical extreme version of a hamster, but just the regular prompt would produce many different hamsters.

But it still had problems if you ever wanted the hamster to do something else. Like have a hamster do a handstand, not that I tried that specific prompt, and I imagine it'd not be able to pull it off.

That's my biggest problem with image generation and video generation models right now. They just seem incapable of being novel. Like mathematically incapable. Not at all as good as llms.

I feel like the stuff that my home PC generates in 15 seconds with Z-image is a lot more impressive than what I get out of Copilot in like 30....
