#440 โ€“ Pieter Levels: Programming, Viral AI Startups, and Digital Nomad Life

It was very bad in the beginning. It was so bad, but still people signed up to it, you know.

Man, but that's the problem with these models. No, we need to talk about this, because the models in Stable Diffusion, so the photorealistic models that are fine-tuned, they were all trained on porn in the beginning. And there was a guy called Hassan. So I was trying to figure out how to do photorealistic AI photos, and Stable Diffusion by itself is not doing that well. The faces look all mangled.

And it doesn't have enough resolution or something to do that well. But I started seeing these base models, these fine-tuned models, and people would train them on porn, and I would try them, and they would be very photorealistic. They would have bodies that actually made sense, like body anatomy.

But if you look at the photorealistic models that people use now still, there's still core of porn there, like of naked people. So I need to prompt out the naked, and everyone needs to do this with AI startups, with imaging. You need to prompt out the naked stuff. You need to put a, you know, naked... You have to keep reminding the model you need to put clothes on the thing.

Yeah, don't put naked because it's very risky. I have Google Vision that checks every photo before it's shown to the user to like check for NSFW.

Because you get the journalists get very angry if they, you know... There was a journalist, I think, that got angry that used this and was like, oh, it showed like a nipple because Google Vision didn't detect it. So there's like these kind of problems you need to deal with, you know? That's what I'm talking about. This is with cats. But look at the cat face. It's also kind of mangled.
