I’m not gonna lie, I’m quite disappointed at all the anti-NSFW shenanigans.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm quite disappointed by the wilful obstinance on HN whenever there is a discussion of anti-NSFW or anti-racism filters that are present on today's artificial intelligence research. First, the filters are only on the interface. The research is public. That's why there has been an explosion of new implementations. You are welcome to run the code yourself and make the horniest model you like. But mo…
Stable Diffusion was released for free and open source with a totally unenforceable license (dont do anything illegal or unethical). People right now are likely generating the most heinous of things. Some piece of shit bully is almost certainly as we speak taking pictures of their target and making the worst compromising cruel thing imaginable.
That discussion is over. You shouldn't care about a company trying to filter out bad shit on their own platform.
Pandoras box has already been open.

If you don't have anti-NSFW stuff your service will generate 95% porn as users who want it flock to you. No one wants a reputation as the porn AI (although I'm sure it will exist eventually).

#34What's huggingface's business model? How do they pay for all this compute and (apparently) 140+ employees?
I did see a couple people in the reddit posted here

complaining about the price of getting their images done. So part of it may actually exchanging money for a service. I bet a good chunk of it is investor cash though.

#36I guess documentation and clarity of UX design are not big strengths of Hugging Face.

#37I'm not quite grasping how to use this. I tried uploading a photograph and erasing part of it. But instead of painting in the erased portion, it left the erased area blank and replaced my photograph with an entirely new image.

HuggingFace is a company that mainly builds open-source libraries and platforms to support open-source ML projects. They started out with their famous Transformers library and have many other libraries including the diffusion model one that is actually what this application here is using. They also have this model/dataset hub and interactive application platform known as "Spaces". Their goal is to be the "GitHub of machine learning".
Their business model is basically supporting enterprise and private use-cases. For example, getting expert support for using these libraries, or hosting models and datasets privately. You can see more information about the pricing here: https://huggingface.co/pricing
They reached a $2 billion valuation after a recent round of funding so overall they're probably pretty flush with cash lol
