gollark: This is quite interesting. It seems to be reusing basically the same image for "fox" here, down to the location, and switching out the backgrounds.
gollark: I got it to work by downloading it from the browser, copying the URL, and copying my cookies. Google really is extremely.
gollark: Also, I can't seem to actually download any of the checkpoints - `gdown` says permission denied and when I use an actual Drive API key it says "download quota exceeded".
gollark: Maybe it would work better if the text used for training was closer to CLIP's dataset?
gollark: It looks like a really cool image editing tool if it works that well in general.
