What do you put in as your prompts? I've been playing around with Stable Diffusion online, and everything comes out all kinds of fucked up, like the ones I recently put up -

::: spoiler John Oliver, All Black :::

and

::: spoiler Chris Hipkins meeting President Xi :::

I find Stable Diffusion is the only one that will make images of famous people

Personally, I think it's fine for people to cross-post stuff they think is relevant to the communities here. I'd prefer it over links to Reddit, because it lets people engage with the content here. I doubt posts in !newzealand@lemmit.online will get nearly as much attention as the ones on lemmy.nz. The Lemmit bot makes it pretty obvious that it's taken from Reddit. I think one guideline would be not to remove the bot's text from the post, nor the "cross-posted from" text that's generated when it's cross-posted here.

As for question posts, it would be a weird thing to cross-post. I guess if someone wanted to give credit to the OP on Reddit. I can't see that happening too often, unless it's a pretty broad question that generates discussion - in which case, it doesn't seem to matter to me if there's a separate discussion going on here.

I've put up a post about it because I think all the Reddit refugees will be keen, at least in the short term. I think we should have this discussion there so everyone can have their input. It will get lost here.

FYI: You can embed images in posts/comments by wrapping the URLs like this:

which will do this:

You can also make that a link to the full size image like this:

Edit: That all applies to images hosted elsewhere. You can also tap the little image icon amongst the formatting icons which will upload the image here and format the embed code for you.

We absolutely need to stop putting it into the air as soon as possible. If these kinds of technologies delay transitions then they're counterproductive. I'm inclined to think that reducing atmospheric CO₂ at every possible opportunity is important at the moment.

Even if the world becomes carbon neutral, we'll need to remove the excess CO₂ from the atmosphere if we want the heating to stop. This is one of the most practical systems for doing that that I've seen so far. We'll need it to happen on a much larger scale, but it's important to be researching it now.
