In almost all (all?) latent diffusion models, the VAE that sandwiches the diffusion model is not a real VAE: the KL loss has a weight of 10^-5 and there is an additional GAN loss that significantly boosts the visual quality. So it's more an adversarial auto-encoder than anything else.

Okay this JPL article has more details. It actually used image data as context which is pretty impressive!

The output as markup makes sense, but what is the input context?

Ah I see it does have a built-in labeler. Maybe adjusting these settings will help: https://bsky.app/profile/moderation.bsky.app

Does bsky have a built-in spam label? I know you can subscribe to labelers (many exist for spam/bots) and when you do, you choose whether labeled accounts just have a label or are hidden. It would be nice to have a “show hidden” UX though.
