Dall-E Mini, the AI-powered text-to-image generator has taken over the internet. With its ability to render nearly anything your meme-loving heart desires, anyone can make their dreams come true.
DALL-E 2, a portmanteau of Salvador Dali, the surrealist and Wall-E, the Pixar robot, was created by OpenAI and is not widely available; it creates far cleaner imagery and was recently used to launch Cosmpolitan’s first AI-generated cover. The art world has been one of the first industries to truly embrace AI.
The open-sourced miniature version is what’s responsible for the memes. Programmer Boris Dayma wants to make AI more accessible; he built the Dall-E Mini program as part of a competition held by Google and an AI community called Hugging Face.
And with great technology, comes great memes. Typing a short phrase into Dall-E Mini will manifest 9 different amalgamations, theoretically shaping into reality the strange images you’ve conjured. Its popularity leads to too much traffic, often resulting in an error that can be fixed by refreshing the page or trying again later.
If you want to be a part of the creation of AI-powered engines, it all starts with code. CodeAcademy explains that Dall-E Mini is a seq2seq model, “typically used in natural language processing (NLP) for things like translation and conversational modeling.” CodeAcademy’s Text Generation course will teach you how to utilize seq2seq, but they also offer opportunities to learn 14+ coding languages at your own pace.
You can choose the Machine Learning Specialist career path if you want to become a Data Scientist who develops these types of programs, but you can also choose courses by language, subject (what is cybersecurity?) or even skill - build a website with HTML, CSS, and more.
CodeAcademy offers many classes for free as well as a free trial; it’s an invaluable resource for giving people of all experience levels the fundamentals they need to build the world they want to see.
As for Dall-E Mini, while some have opted to create beauty, most have opted for memes. Here are some of the internet’s favorites:

Le Tote Select is the Best Way to Cut the Stress Out of Shopping
To those of us that see “retail therapy” as more of “retail trauma,” shopping can be a real nightmare. If you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for, you could be stuck in the dressing room for hours with clothes that just don’t fit or aren’t “you.” On the other hand, if you’re the order-everything-online type, you’ll often have to deal with backorders and tricky return policies. Either way, it takes a veteran shopper to not want to totally pull your hair out. There had to be a better way. Enter Le Tote Select. Le Tote Select is a way to have the fashion brought to you. It’s a new service that sends you individually-curated clothes right to your door.
Le Tote Select caters to anyone who’s a little time starved and shopping disillusioned. Their team of personal stylists sends you clothes that fit your style and size, which you can then try on in the comfort of your own home. Then, you only have to pay for the clothes that you love and send back the rest. By rating the items in your tote, the stylists are able to keep sending you items that you’ll love and will best match your style. It’s the perfect marriage of style, convenience, and fit.
Here’s how it works. Go to Letote.com and order your Le Tote Select Box for a $20 styling fee that gets credited toward anything you purchase in the box. When your tote arrives, you have 5 days to decide what items you want to keep. Those are the only items that you have to pay for. Send the rest back in the prepaid return bag, and you’re all set. Oh and don’t forget to rate your items! When you rate items, your stylists get direct feedback on what you like, so their picks become more and more individualized every time, to find your perfect style and fit.
The best thing about Le Tote Select is the fact that it’s truly personalized. They’ve figured out how to deliver great fashion in the right style and silhouette to your door, all while saving me time and money. Plus, the fit is unique to you as well. They measure each garment and compare those sizes to your unique silhouette, not just the size on the label. That means, you’re getting a better fit than just about anyone else.
