       | This is really cool. I wonder if you could use it to generate
       | images instead of this SSH message:
       | 
       | > The authenticity of host 'mint.phcomp.co.uk (78.32.209.33)'
       | can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is
       | 6a:de:e0:af:56:f8:0c:04:11:5b:ef:4d:49:ad:09:23. Are you sure you
       | want to continue connecting (yes/no)? no
       | 
       | That way you could check the fingerprint for the server visually.
       | Of course you'd first have to have a way to deterministically
       | generate a description of an image from a sequence of random
       | bytes.

         | yet. It would greatly reduce the threshold for cryptographic
         | collisions as the human brain is not good at telling two images
         | apart on the pixel level like a hashing algo would be.

         | The [Drunken Bishop](https://www.jfurness.uk/the-drunken-
         | bishop-algorithm/) algorithm works well for this purpose,
         | without needing a GPU. :)

       | Hello HN! I'm the author of this post and one of the co-creators
       | for this project. We put this out as a fun community project to
       | track prompt engineering in large Transformer models (in this
       | case CLIP) and to showcase our Gradio panel integration. Thank
       | you all for the support!
       | 
       | We were not expecting to make it to the front page, and I think
       | our tiny community server is not able to keep up with all the
       | requests. All your prompts are logged to a queue and processed by
       | a GPU worker (currently just a single T4). The prompts that made
       | it to this project will eventually be generated by the model.
       | 
       | We will work on a solution to handle the number of requests we're
       | getting. In the mean time you can check out the Colab version of
       | this project here
       | https://colab.research.google.com/drive/16nR8_Ida5tID1RSzLy1...
       | 
       | Thank you again for checking out our project! We will post
       | updates soon!

         | this as the cover art https://www.comet.ml/team-comet-

       | I've seen this method with the brush strokes and it's cool but I
       | don't think it's there yet. The Dall-E type stuff that's coming
       | up is exciting but the open source versions still need some work.
       | I found this site a month ago or so and I'm a big fan of it:
