That's a nice example of false accusations. Parenthesis are used for increasing the weights of some terms. See how he uses single, double or triple parenthesis on different words. It has nothing to do with the triple parenthesis jew thing.

I have no frigging idea even triple parentheses are unspeakable now. Just ran rg '\(\(\(.*\)\)\)' in my projects directory and found many instances authored by me. Guess I should prioritize fixing these, or next time I'm the target of some controversy, someone will use these as evidence of my antisemitism.

Triple parentheses have been _extremely widely_ used by the far right for a dozen years. It's a daily occurence on 4chan, especially from /pol/, as well as being a favorite from various forums like Stormfront.

Now, there's a slight difference between you writing a comment that goes `This calculates the size of the universe (((note: absolutely fix this it runs in O(n^n))))`, and you going `goddamn I hate (((them)))` in forums swimming in white supremacists.

You are not being persecuted. If anything, hate on the far right using the dumbest fucking signals to try to "blend in".

The racist "information" in this case was produced by the maintainer of the project themself though.

Did he add the 'n' tag or did he just accept a PR with changes made to artists.csv ? That's quite a important distinction. As for the mods, I have no problem with those, he made the WhiteOnly mod as a response to existing mods which removed white people, and I can't argue against the George Floyd riots being anything but peaceful.

The very first version of this file, authored by him, already included the 'n', only on artists that are either black or draw black people in art.

But sure, look at the guy that has dozens of red flags that all scream white supremacy and brush it off with "lol george floyd protests were violent tho".

Was reading the Reddit thread and noticed this was said about the 'n' tag:

>Out of 3041 artists in the file 16 of them are tagged as 'n', and a further 8 >tagged as 'c' (no idea what it means either).

> Alain Laboile,0.67634284,c > Julie Blackmon,0.72862685,c > William-Adolphe Bouguereau,0.618265,c > Bapu,0.6122084,c > Robert Irwin,0.58078,c > Cassius Marcellus Coolidge,0.5805516,c > Dr. Seuss,0.5597466,c > Henning Jakob Henrik Lund,0.5147134,c

Another uses also wrote:

>I don’t think they marked black artists with an n as you seem to be claiming. >There are also white artists marked with a c, like Julie Blackmon. Also I found >a german white artist Mati Klarwein who has an n in the dataset.

I checked one at random and he's not black Mati Klarwein

I checked a few more at random: * Bill Jacklin * Hiroshi Sugomoto * Josef Albers * David Teniers the Younger None of them are black. Edit: As eyko pointed out below, these are not in the 'n' category. So I searched for people in that category, and all the ones I checked turned out to have been black (other than Mati Klarwein).

This is a full list of all the 'n' entries in the latest artists.csv

Howardena Pindell,0.7686921,n Mati Klarwein,0.7066092,n Barkley L.

Turns out the TOS violation had nothing whatsoever to do with racism, as so many commenters here were overly confident to proclaim, in typical HN style. It's because he'd linked to prohibited content in the wiki: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki... Here's the issue discussing it: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/issu...

That’s … actually worse that they suspended him and killed access to his projects merely for linking to NSFW diffusion models on a wiki.

I'm just waiting for federated alternatives to emerge to github. Once a dev can host their own repo and not require everyone to make an account just for their project, I think github will take some serious hits. I'm willing to bet tons of people would be willing to switch after seeing stuff like this and youtube-dl. And, any dev that github de-platforms will likely switch and take many of their contributors with them.

I read through the Reddit thread and they seem to be focused on the letter n being tagged on certain names (they claim is stands for the n word with strong racist meaning.) Later someone points out that there is another artist who paints mostly darker skin tones who also has the n identifier. I can, immediately and without effort, see why this might be added. As a way to force representation in output. This is, to me…

n: There are also black artists tagged that way who seem to very rarely depict people at all. And both the white and 1+ of the n-tagged black artists depicted some non-black people. Rimworld: It was whites only at first, black only got added later and then integrated.

Huggingrear stated in a different thread that "he made the WhiteOnly mod as a response to existing mods which removed white people"

I don't know how you would validate this but it doesn't seem unreasonable.

Because no one should care. Just fully ignore them, do not engage with trolls or people whose politics you don't care about. Maybe we should instead ban those who call out this stuff or describe it in malicious ways...

GitHub will have removed this because they don't want to be seen hosting racist shit on their platform. They don't want that because as it turns out the vast majority of the population isn't on board with racism, so not doing so would empower their competitors, hurt their brand and affect their bottom line. It's the same with Disney (the "oh a black little mermaid!?" stuff) and all the other the other ultimately bana…
