I've been looking forward to this.

It seems like the sort of things you would require so that HuggingFace doesn't get roped in as defendants in lawsuits related to things that others do with the code. So if for example someone builds something that generates medical advice and gets sued for violating FDA requirements or damages or whatever then HuggingFace can say that was not something they allowed in the first place.

DALL-E 2 just got smoked. Anyone with a graphics card isn't going to pay to generate images, or have their prompts blocked because of the overly aggressive anti-abuse filter, or have to put up with the DALL-E 2 "signature" in the corner. It makes me wonder how OpenAI is going to work around this because this makes DALL-E 2 a very uncompetitive proposition. Except, of course, for people without graphics cards, but it's not 2020 anymore.

Yeah it really reads like "we know people are going to do nasty things with this; we can't prevent that; please don't sue us over it" to me

That license from top to bottom is distilled "tell me you don't know anything about art without telling me you don't know anything about art". Interesting art challenges its audience. But even the most boring art will still offend some-- it's the nature of art that the viewer brings their own interpretation, and some people bring an offensive one.

I dunno. All I see is necessary ass covering. They're just saying anyone who does these objectionable things did so against our terms.

This is one of the most important moments in all of art history. Millions of people just got unconditional access to the state-of-the-art in AI text-to-image for absolutely free less the cost of hardware. I have an Nvidia GPU myself and am thrilled beyond belief with the possibilities that this opens up. Am planning on doing some deep dives into latent-space exploration algorithms and hypernetworks in the coming days…

Indeed, it seems like a legal "wink wink, nudge nudge" sort of thing. Well, as long as I can run stuff on my own GPU, I'm satisfied.

This release changes society forever. Free and open access to generate a hyper-realistic image via just a text prompt is more powerful than I think we can imagine currently. Art, media, politics, conspiracy theories; all of it changes with this.

Eh... if I was making conspiracy theories, it's not like Photoshop hasn't existed for decades already, with far more predictable results.

I agree, but not for the reasons you imply. It will force real artists to differentiate themselves from AI, since the line is now sufficiently blurred. It's probably the death of an era of digital art as we know it.
