GitHub Repo: https://github.com/Stability-AI/stablediffusion HuggingFace Space (currently overloaded unsurprisingly): https://huggingface.co/spaces/stabilityai/stable-diffusion Doing a 2.0 release on a (US) 2-day holiday weekend is an interesting move. It seems a tad more difficult to set up the model than the previous version.

Seems like a potentially good time to launch it, lots of young people with free time.

Less likely journalist whingers will pick it up too.

They apparently tried to combat NSFW generation by filtering the training dataset not to include any.

They reportedly did so to stop people from generating CSAM [0]. [0] https://old.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/y9ga5s/sta...

Now that's a can of worms I don't think anyone wants to open.

I regularly skimmed 4Chan’s /b/ to get a frame of reference for fringe internet culture. But I’ve had to stop because the CSAM they generate by the hundreds per hour is just freakishly and horrifyingly high fidelity.

There’s a lot of important social questions to ask about the future of pornography, but I’m sure not going to be the one to touch that with a thousand foot pole.

They can force model upgrades too:

> greatly improves the quality of the generated images compared to earlier V1 releases That’s great!

The repo provides a chart with a quantitative measure (FID/CLIP score) where the new 2.0 models do indeed have much better results than the earlier 1.5 model.
