OpenAI is so lagging behind in terms of image generation it is comical at this point.
They dropped a new image model last week using 4o to contextualize the request, it’s very very good. However it’s for paid subscribers only right now I believe.
However as you mentioned Stable diffusion and mid journey probably still have more customizability.
Identity is decentralized through the protocol so they’d be fine. Bluesky at the end of the day is just app view that sits on top of the protocol so it can disappear and everything will continue operating as long as there’s a relay online.
I see the “AI is using up massive amounts of water” being proclaimed everywhere lately, however I do not understand it, do you have a source?
My understanding is this probably stems from people misunderstanding data center cooling systems. Most of these systems are closed loop so everything will be reused. It makes no sense to “burn off” water for cooling.
I know this convo was 2 weeks ago, but they published a great article that includes how Identify is handled that answers our questions.

Effectively identify is as the PDS level. So if Bluesky goes down and your account were through Bluesky you’d lose your identity ?*
If your account is held through another platform like Spark or your own self hosted PDS your identity would remain live.
*My question that sparked from this is if Bluesky went down and you’re already logged into a second platform, when you log into that second platform does it duplicate your DID? I’m assuming not and you’d still lose it because logins are through OIDC and the keys still exist on Bluesky.
Regardless the true path to decentralization should be everyone hosting their own identity on their own PDS w/ identity but that might be a longshot. The path to decentralization is effectively allowed but will people take advantage of it?
