It's funny to see as a joke, but you can go the other way with this too. Image editing models and LoRAs for "previz-to-render upscaling" workflows are actually incredibly useful.
I was just writing about this (scroll about halfway down to the images of Sam Altman - though if you like that, do watch the second video):

The best model I've found for this, that almost bakes in full ControlNet capability, is oddly gpt-image-1.5. It's absolutely OP at understanding how to turn low-fidelity renders into final draft upscales.
Here are some older experiments:

I just wish it didn't require invoking such heavy-weight, slow, and expensive models to do this. I'm sure open models will do this work soon, though.
You are able to do this stuff with open models for 1-2 years now, i for example have a comfyui pipeline that achieves a similar setup. It’s of course more work and you have to dig into the details more. I also have to adjust the pipeline and tweak it and use different models for each use case. But overall you can definitely achieve that level of control with open models already, it’s just not that user friendly
It's funny how know your meme has to sanitize the 4chan out of memes.
The 'how society would look without x' has been a racist trope on 4chan since way before the cited examples.
That doesn't pass the sniff test, many other pages on knowyourmeme correctly attribute memes to 4chan.
If you were right that would be easily verifiable. Do you have an example of a post dated before 2018? Maybe you're getting tricked by the fact that 2018 was 8 years ago?

I think you are taking their point literally, its not that knowyourmeme is not crediting 4chan, its that the racism/edge is polished off presenting a more mainstream version of many memes.
Link to a message on one of the many historical archives of 4chan?
That is exactly what is being proposed.
Words, ideas, and of course whole classes of people, are tainted, untouchable if you will, and can never be redeemed.
Progressive "thought" is reinventing caste systems, just with their preferred brahmins on top.
OK this is too fun. I did Reverse Anti-Render on a dreary scene in Moscow:
I remember looking at an architect representation thinking, but the sun is always on the other side of the building.
Pretty good. Compare with a real sunny day on that street.
Or Dundee. The third "after" pic needs more Surron tracks up the grassy bank though.
Your image made the reddit front page: https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/1qrwa2l/society_with...
Reddit shows cached versions of posts on the front-page, so it might actually remain there for a couple of hours after the subreddit mods deleted it.

Ah, the quintessential Reddit experience.
Well to be fair Hackernews posts can get flagged too by the community itself where people then later talk about how or why a particular post gets flagged and discussion starts moving about the moderation/flag issues in HN.
(But this isn't to say that the fault's within the moderation community of HN which are great but just the issue which to me is imo that if many users flag a post, it can get flagged and the friction of getting it back is hard or a post typically ends up dying usually if it gets flagged in general imho)
I was also wondering how the image got 16k+ views (as of now) (the stat was on imgur)
I was wondering what/how many HN users clicked on the image (not knowing it was uploaded to reddit too)
But now I seriously wonder out of those 16k (as of now), how many were/are from the hackernews community and how many from reddit.
Same here, though no kids yet.
I bought the soundtrack on vinyl (by Tomáš Dvořák, aka Floex), then got a record player, aaaand ended up accumulating a ton of records since then.
I still play that record though, it never gets old.
The other game that we enjoyed in a very similar way is Primordia [1]. Named our first cat Crispin afterwards.
You will probably enjoy Boxville [2]; it's very much Machinarium-inspired. Its sequel, Boxville 2,came out recently, so there's more in store.
It's Ukrainian-made (Machinarium is Czech), so the devs share a gritty post-communist childhood to draw the inspiration from.
That may be quite close to the truth. Here are pictures from some abandones pavilions from the 2000 World Expo in Hannover. Sad to see this, as I lived in Hannover at that time and had a really good time at the Expo.
Complete aside, but it's beyond infuriating I need to enable a VPN here in the UK to view this link.

Here, I uploaded the image to catbox.moe if anyone's interested.

I don't think that catbox is blocked within the UK.
Does anyone have a mirror? I’m in authoritarian UK so the link is blocked
The rimigo proxy works for me: https://rimgo.vern.cc/a/nFQN5tx
The link is blocked by imgur themselves, not the British government (authoritarian or otherwise), because the ICO was going to fine them for historic poor handling of children's data. https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/media-centre/news-and-blogs...
It had user accounts and it hosts prodigious amounts of porn, so it ran afoul of the part of the law that says that if you have user accounts and host user-generated content of any sort you have to make sure you're not showing porn to children.
It's annoying, but Imgur really do need to get a handle on things because that's where people host all the CSAM they post into Matrix channels.

Here you go. I had it uploaded after hearing from the magospietato's comment but then saw you talk about the same so I am pasting the same image link here as well
