Hacker News with Generative AI: Image Generation

FLUX.1 Tools (blackforestlabs.ai)
Today, we are excited to release FLUX.1 Tools, a suite of models designed to add control and steerability to our base text-to-image model FLUX.1, enabling the modification and re-creation of real and generated images.

Low-poly image generation using evolutionary algorithms in Ruby (2023) (thomascountz.com)
Inspired by biological systems, evolutionary algorithms model the patterns of multi-generational evolution in order to unearth unique ideas. They work by generating a vast number of potential solutions to a particular problem and then pitting them against each other in a process akin natural selection: only the fittest survive. In this way, evolutionary algorithms are able to navigate large ambiguous search spaces in order to find solutions to problems that may be difficult or inefficient to solve using other methods.

Meissonic, High-Resolution Text-to-Image Synthesis on consumer graphics cards (arxiv.org)
Diffusion models, such as Stable Diffusion, have made significant strides in visual generation, yet their paradigm remains fundamentally different from autoregressive language models, complicating the development of unified language-vision models.

Why AI Is So Bad at Generating Images of Kamala Harris (wired.com)
When Elon Musk shared an image showing Kamala Harris dressed as a “communist dictator” on X last week, it was quite obviously a fake, seeing as Harris is neither a communist nor, to the best of our knowledge, a Soviet cosplayer. And, as many observers noted, the woman in the photo, presumably generated by X’s Grok tool, had only a passing resemblance to the vice president.
