Never give up, unless you want to

I spent a good portion of the weekend trying to figure out if I can run Stable Diffusion on my no-M1-chip-having Macbook Pro, and specifically if I would have any sort of animation capabilities. I started my quest a few days ago when I threw the question out to the Impermanent Digital discord, and now as of Sunday March 26th just 10 minutes shy of 4:20pm, I can declare I still don't know the answer. It looks like maybe I can run some versions on Google Colab, or services in-browser but likely not a version with animation capabilities. I'll continue my pursuit towards animated ai.

Speaking of ChatGPT, I copy/pasted the above paragraph and asked if it can explain this blog post and I am very amused by the results:

Sure! This blog post describes the author's experience of trying to figure out if they can run Stable Diffusion on their MacBook Pro which doesn't have an M1 chip, and if they can have any animation capabilities. They mention that they started their search a few days ago by asking the question on a Discord server, and even after spending a good portion of the weekend searching, they still don't have a clear answer.

The author goes on to mention that they may be able to run some versions of Stable Diffusion on Google Colab or in-browser services, but not with animation capabilities. They also mention that they won't give up on their pursuit towards animated AI, and include a humorous quote from Bard: "Never give up on your dreams, unless you want to."

Overall, this post highlights the challenges and frustrations of trying to figure out the hardware requirements and compatibility of software programs, and how it can take time and effort to find the right solution. The author's persistence and determination to continue their pursuit towards their goal of animated AI is a reminder to never give up on our dreams, no matter how difficult the journey may be. -Written by ChatGPT
