Growing 512x512 mushrooms in 9 seconds a piece. Never really using CPU mode I am quite surprised how fast this is on such a low powered machine. I had expected it to take minutes.

(of course I also tried stable diffusion, but since it has only 4GB or RAM it cannot load the checkpoint and crashes)

Despite that the machine does not have a GPU it is able to generate 128x128 pixel #BigGAN images at the blazing speed of 30/minute. 😆

In our imagination our imagination may appear bigger than it is.

What is the name for the syndrome of coming to latent space where you could have anything you'd ever wish for but then you realize that the only idea you have is "in the style of van Gogh"?
