#2 - Generative images, art, design - Stable Diffusion workshop

In this meeting we will focus on generative visuals: DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, WebUIs and of course prompting!

Cosimo Streppone, Site Reliability Lead at Kahoot! will lead us through a Stable Diffusion workshop to play, experiment and fine-tune to create your own pictures.

We will do a brief session on how to train and run Stable Diffusion models to generate images. Of course one can already use MidJourney, Dall-E, Lensa, etc.. to do that. The difference here would be that you get to:
- Run it yourself, and understand a bit of how this works under the hood
- Feed it your own pictures or drawings, to train models that you can keep if you want
- Experiment with prompts and have fun

No specific programming knowledge is required, so everybody should feel welcome to try this if they want. The idea is to come with your own laptop, so you can try this hands-on. Cosimo will try to guide us through it.

Things to prepare if you want to follow-along:
- Laptop or otherwise computer with wifi
- Make sure you have at least 4 Gb free on your Google Drive account, the more space the better.
- A set of ~5-8 pictures of yourself or another person/character that you want to embed, better if from different angles, poses, lighting, etc.. cell phone photos are ok. Best results come with clean backgrounds, but you will see that anything goes. The pictures should be available on your computer, ready for uploading.

We're grateful to Cosimo, and look forward to seeing everyone there!
