Even just OpenSD would be a vast improvement. Presume the "open" replaces "universal" (which isn't a 1:1 mapping, but still works as a branding exercise) and you DON'T have what literally 100% of the non-graphic-artist HN commentariat thought: that they're weirdly doing a stablecoin.

Or better yet - 'Open Scene Description'. For the extra two syllables they can say what it is.

Then it sounds like AI.

Stable Diffusion isn't a familiar term outside a very niche audience. Probably over 50% of the earth's population is familiar with checking 'USD' exchange rates.

[bsimpson]

As an outsider, OpenSD sounds more like a disk format than anything to do with AI.

[TylerE]

This isn't something regular people care about though.

People working in computer graphics absolutely know what stable diffusion is.

I would also that at least a third of the US adult population doesn't know that USD is the abbreviation for symbol for US dollars. The average American never travels internationally.

[depereo]

Maybe regular americans. Africans, Europeans, Asians, Pacific peoples and Antipodeans however...

The tech we buy is often USD-denominated and exchange risk is something we all deal with constantly for basic purchases, in business and personal life.

If we're just gonna make up statistics...
