I have an LCD picture frame into which Stable Diffusion generates a landscape photo, with the twist that the weather in the landscape is the actual current weather outside.

I built it just for myself. I think it's hilarious. Everyone else I've shown it to has been less impressed!

Edit: This is what it is currently showing: https://ibb.co/T2b4S4M

I've always wanted to make something like this. Except it would generate an image based on the transcription of the conversation in the room.

You should absolutely make that.

Oh, that could go off the rails quickly. You have to do it!

I like to think it would start to gain sentience once someone commented on it, and draw a bunch of people gesticulating at a recursive image of itself

As a guest, I'd appreciate a heads up that there's a device listening to our conversation and beaming it directly to some company.

Completely possible to run it 100% local (;

I did something similar using Leonardo.AI (it's cheaper) to give me random vibrant abstract christmas oil paintings every hour.

What are you using to get the picture into your frame? I'm currently running my python script on a raspberry pi 02W, but was wondering if there's a better way.

My frame is a Pi, so it's easier.

It's just an old TV hung on the wall hooked up to a Pi.

This would be a cool thing to publish your work, because I too think it's pretty hilarious.

You may need to get some new friends. :-)

That is a great idea.
