Am I the only one disappointed by this new wave of AI hype? Seriously, autogenerated avatars? When are our best minds going to work towards actually improving the lives of people? Not monkey JPEG scams, not chat bot bureaucracies, not self-driving cars that fail in bad weather and kill you, but something that actually alleviates humanity's biggest problems. Energy, homelessness, pollution and the environment, affordable housing crises in the West, content moderation, the loneliness epidemic - there's so much that needs to be done if we can just step out of the current hype cycle and focus on human problems, not just looking for ways to use cool tech.

Saw a great toot yesterday.
Startups and media business are looking to make a windfall on AI generated art, music, code, writing, and other services. The payment models will be subscriptions, pay per use, and other models that make more money the more content is produced.
But there's still no AI (with associated mechanics) that can fold laundry.
(I think the latter would be really useful.)

The commoditization of image generation has been shockingly fast. Now our CDN provider provides low-cost generation.

Is this not available as a standalone tool?
> To enable Bunny AI, simply enable the feature under the Bunny AI panel and start generating!
Where is this exactly?
Also, are the other AI image generation tools that can be used now at low prices? I've tried some of the free ones, but they have two hour wait times sometimes!

Thinking the next logical step - chatgpt at edge - could be even more useful.
Though I guess that still has the underlying limitation of compute shortage so could take a while

Looks like it is generating on-the-fly. No? Second request for each generation (unique number) takes no time.
for a in `seq 1000 2000`; do wget "https://bunnynet-avatars.b-cdn.net/.ai/img/dalle-256/avatar/email-${a}/rabbit.jpg?width=128&hiEbunny=is_this_secure_though" ; done

I can't understand the need for this kind of thing as there are so many options for using Stable Diffusion for very cheap (or free) and of course Dall E has its own UI. What's the point of using a service like this (besides getting free compute while they are launching)? Do we really need another service aggregator?

Feels a bit gimmicky to me, but maybe I’m missing some need in the market.
I wonder about auto-generated captchas perhaps? or are these going to be easy to reverse?
On a side note: I’d love to switch from Cloudflare to bunny, but it’s missing a WAF. We were promised it from bunny for a long while, but didn’t see it yet. Personally I would imagine it being a more core feature for a CDN than AI bunnies on the edge, but I guess I’m old and boring.

Dumb question.. can you only generate images of bunnies?
by EmilStenstrom on 12/25/22, 8:45 AM
While this is cool, using an MD5 of users’ email addresses is not cool. Given a large rainbow table you could likely find the identity of lots of users and tie them to specific comments where they thought they were anonymous… not th intention when enabling funny avatars…

I think a standard model is not very useful. We are doing similar but with your own custom model as an api
https://88stacks.com
I do like their real-time api though and we are moving towards that as well. It just costs a lot more to do in real-time.
by jonplackett on 12/22/22, 7:59 PM
Any one know the pricing? When you go to their pricing page it only has info about standard CDN stuff.

This seems like a massive waste of resources. If the image is generated by AI it's clearly not offering very much to the reader but they still have to load it and scroll past it to get to the actual content.

Dear Bunny, you've been delaying the S3 storage bucket for 3 years. Please don't waste time on this trash.
by Thorrez on 12/23/22, 5:45 AM
Disappointing that the comment section on that page doesn't use these images for the profile pictures of commenters.

10,000 Unique Bunny NFT's in 3, 2, 1...

Unique default avatars is a pretty cool use case for AI image generation.

Not a good title!
> Bunny AI, an experimental multi-model image generation engine
do they mean "multi-model" or "multi-modal"?

Please, lets not waste electricity & emit more CO2 for the sake of unnecessary eye-candy..

If you need a method of indexing and searching these pictures, give mixpeek a try:

Fantastic. I use all of bunny's services across all of my companies and can vouch for the absolutely fantastic service they provide at the best cost. Use them blindly for all your needs.
