  • Do you want AI to exclusively be in the hands of big companies and the government?

    Do you want the future of technology locked behind pay walls and censored so that you can’t use it to do anything they don’t want you to do?

    If you think AI regulation comes in the form of making sure big companies can’t do bad things to you, you haven’t been paying attention.




  • It doesn’t really matter whether the original data is present in the model

    Yeah it does. One of the arguments people make is that AI models are just a form of compression, and as a result distributing the model is akin to distributing all the component parts. This fact invalidates that argument.

    This isn’t a slam dunk argument that there’s nothing wrong with what an AI does even if we grant it is transformative. It may also simply be proving that the copyright law we have fails to protect artists in the new era of AI.

    If we change the law to make it illegal it’s illegal.



  • It is illegal to use copyrighted material period outside of fair use, and this is most certainly not.

    Yeah it is. Even assuming fair use applied, fair use is largely a question of how much a work is transformed and (a billion images) -> AI model is just about the most transformative use case out there.

    And this assumes this matters when they’re literally not copying the original work (barring over fitting). It’s a public internet download. The “copy” is made by Facebook or whoever you uploaded the image to.

    The model doesn’t contain the original artwork or parts of it. Stable diffusion literally has one byte per image of training data.









  • I can vouch for the horde, it’s addicting to watch your little point counter go up after you’ve put something out there and seeing people use something you are hosting.

    It’s awesome to put a computer out onto the internet and have real life people getting real benefit within minutes. This is a way you can do it, and there’s so much demand that you are helping people by putting your machine out there.

    However, I will give you a fair warning, it will be used for porn. Not entirely, but it will happen.
