Me at the end of last year: "Should I really go for the full 64GB on this M1 Pro? What could I possibly use this for? mmbml mumble... something about unified GPU... something Deep Learning, one day..."

Me now: "a red juicy apple floating in outer space, like a planet" --H 768 --W 768

Uses about 27GB. 1.81s/it.

I was so geniunely happy with my 16GB iMac M1 until stable-diffusion released.

I was amazed at how fast and powerful it was. I thought this meant I could stop buying top-of-the-line Macs every 4 years and start buying bottom-of-the-line Macs every 5 years. And that would have been 100% true... if it weren't for stable-diffusion.
