About What I Do
I play with image synthesisers like Dall·E or Stable Diffusion to generate and curate images that I find interesting and aesthetically pleasing.For more information about machine learning and image synthesis, I recommend starting on Wikipedia (Article: Artificial Intelligence Art) or on YouTube (Channel: Two Minute Papers) to get a good foundational understanding.

📚 PharmaPsychotic's Megalist of Tools & Resources
→ A fantastic resource for finding new tools, toys and ways to get started!🎨 DALL·E 3
→ My favourite generator, especially when used through ChatGPT+ for conversational prompting.
⭐ Protip: Have free ChatGPT generate prompts to use with the free Bing Image Creator (which uses a variation of DALL·E 3.)🌍 NightCafe Studio
→ My preferred method for synthesising images online! Lots of free credits to use, including daily top-ups, and really reasonable pricing if you want more. They have basically all the models you could possibly want available, and you can even use Stable Diffusion 1.5 for free.🖥 Visions of Chaos by Softology
→ My preferred method for running scripts locally without needing to balance multiple python environments myself. :)
⚠ VoC currently requires at least 50GB of storage, and significantly more if you want to try every single feature. Not for the faint of heart nor the short of space, but it is the easiest way to run multiple diffusion scripts locally! ⚠🖥AUTOMATIC1111's Stable Diffusion WebUI
→ I've linked directly to the "Install on Nvidia GPUs" page, but you can get to the other install guides from there. This is IMO the best way to run only Stable Diffusion if you're not interested in anything else.
