Dimensions: 9504 x 3240 Stable Diffusion Inpainting 2023-2026 By Vnderworld
Original outputs generated June 2023. Two 16:9 images were stitched together and inpainted using Stable Diffusion over 2.5 years. This piece began live on Twitch using Automatic1111 with the SD1.5 Realistic Vision model. Each year additional sections were inpainted and refined. Work continued in ComfyUI utilizing Flux Dev and custom LoRA models trained on original outputs from the 2023 batch. An estimated 100 hours went into this piece. Every square inch has been touched across three generations of Stable Diffusion models.
"They traded the whip for a ping on Slack, Convinced you that loyalty paid you back. Stock options and equity, four year vest, They owned every hour and called it success. The chains got a makeover, open floor plan, A standing desk stipend, a wellness program. They gutted the wage while the valuation climbed, Those snakes in the grass tracked your productivity time. Office politics, performance reviews, Smile at the all hands and swallow your views. The calendar blocks out what's left of your soul, Another man's vision, another man's goal. They ran the numbers and the numbers were clear, A fraction of headcount could carry the year. The board took a vote and the margins looked clean, You were never a person, you were just a machine."
