Stable Diffusion breaks the internet (Interview)

This week on The Changelog we're talking about Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, and the impact of AI generated art. We invited our good friend Simon Willison on the show today because he wrote a very thorough blog post titled, "Stable Diffusion is a really big deal." You may know Simon from his extensive contributions to open source software. Simon is a co-creator of the Django Web framework (which we don't talk about at all on this show), he's the creator of Datasette, a multi-tool for exploring and publishing data (which we do talk about on this show)...most of all Simon is a very insightful thinker, which he puts on display here on this episode. We talk from all the angles of this topic, the technical, the innovation, the future and possibilities, the ethical and the moral -- we get into it all. The question is, will this era be known as the initial push back to the machine?
