[Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many]

Everybody seems to like synthetic imagery.

- genmo.ai claims to provide a text-to-video service with free demo. I
haven’t visited it.

- an early text-to-photorealistic-scene paper called dreamfusion came
out some months ago. this is like stable diffusion but generates
virtual scenes and models from text rather than just images. an open
source variant is at https://github.com/ashawkey/stable-dreamfusion .
i tried the colab briefly but for some reason it kept getting 0 loss
for me. i didn’t look for the results so i’m not sure if that’s a bug
or not.
