I just want to chime in with one of my...Pet peeves; To me, the whole Dark Matter thing is big bunch of BS- They had a problem with gravity not being consistent over large distances, so they came up with "Dark Matter".....Solved that one problem, but created a number of other problems, so they had to come up with secondary concept; "Dark Energy"......and that has created other problems.

That alone would make me doubt it...But they have been trying for decades to prove "Dark Matter" with no success whatsoever!

Another scientist came up with a different hypothesis..."Gravity varies over very long distances"...he has tested his hypothesis a number of times and it has always worked out.

Dark matter.....Dark energy....next, they need to come up with "Dark magic"...



The cant find the dark matter because it got soaked up by the dark roast coffee and now resides in mah belllyy !

I've been playing around at an Artificial Intelligence site, Stable Diffusion Demo, that creates images from text prompts. Even though this is a dumbed down version compared to what is available elsewhere, it's still simply amazing! Try it, you'll like it.

Since dark matter and boobies have been mentioned in this thread, that's what I inputted for fun. Twenty seconds later, this was one of the results. I kind of like it. It's sort of pleasing without being... umm, objectionable.



I wanted to do another demo of this software for you all to see. It's just so mind blowing. The complete text prompt I used is copied below. Is this not amazing!

I upscaled the original 512x512 image (cropped to 512x492) to 2048x1968 Here.

That AI stuff is amazing and is advancing SO fast...

Will it even take 10 years for it to be advanced enough to create an entire movie? Script, actors, plot, etc. And then toyline, merch, etc.

I'll say! An open source version of what I've been playing around with was released just a month or so ago... and there has been an EXPLOSION of activity since then, with all sorts of different implementations and improvements taking place.

what I find nuts is that its going to spill over to everything, and you can prompt it to create a STL of something or a mold of the thing, and then you can print THAT and make "stuff"...

sure hope the world doesn't kill itself before it gets awesome and weird!

I don't even know what "skynet" is, but it seems rather frightening!

Skynet is the supercomputer behind the T-series killer robots in the Terminator movies.

Ah... okay, now I understand the images.
