Obviously this is for Newcastle, Australia, since it is part of Aussie Zone. We also welcome input from adjoining Lake Macquarie. Keep it clean and don't be mean.

A Krispy Kreme delivery van containing 10,000 fresh doughnuts has been stolen, the US doughnut chain has reported.

The van was en route to various delivery sites in Newcastle when it was stolen from a Carlingford service station about 3.30am on Wednesday.

NSW Police are currently searching for the van, along with the sweet-toothed thief, believed to be a woman, who allegedly stole the van while the driver was inside the service station.

Her monotooth gleamed in the light as saliva dribbled from her face, the action of opening her jaw forcing her eyes to diverge. Her air intake snorkel wagged like a tail. RoboHelen felt exhilarated from the very base of her bio-tires to the top of her simulant-hair. She did doughnuts all the way home, and then some more.

Anywhere you'd recommend to learn more about this? I'm really losing touch with the speed of this stuff

The easiest is probably Bing Image Creator, using OpenAI's DALLE 3. https://www.bing.com/create. It's free. You will need a Microsoft account to login. If that's something you're comfortable with, it's the one I'd recommend starting with.

Other than that, there's Midjourney https://www.midjourney.com/home but that requires logging into Discord and is paid.

There's also https://clipdrop.co/ which is free (with limits) as well.

I don't suggest entering prompts with any of your personal info. General stuff like "person stealing a Krispy Kreme donuts van" is fine.

There are some you can run locally but you can look into it yourself later.

Try !imageai@sh.itjust.works

I use Bing's Dall-E (with a throwaway Microsoft account because stuff them). It's free and they run it on their computers so you don't have to own an expensive Nvidia graphics card. (Sadly the text-to-image generation world is mostly Nvidia-only, despite AMD cards being in theory completely capable, because Nvidia has a stranglehold on the software backends)
