It goes without saying that the authors of a piece of software have the right to make the software do whatever they want, but that shouldn't stop us from recognizing that AI engineers are starting to act like megalomaniac overseers who consider it part of their mission to steer humanity…

Yeah, but, when it comes to generating NSFW contents, it is illegal to distribute pornographic software in some countries, and doing so can lead to domain blockage and such (i.e. South Korea, believe or not). This is something you gotta understand. Also, if the author wanted to block NSFW contents at all, I'm pretty sure one can actually make the filter inseparable from the main network. This isn't the case here AFAI…

That makes no sense. You can draw whatever you like with Photoshop. You can search for whatever you want on Google. That doesn't make the software "NSFW", and no country will block Photoshop's domain just because someone used Photoshop to create NSFW content.

Don't let people who are clearly motivated by a moralistic desire to control others hide behind BS pseudo-legal excuses.

If what StableDiffusion did was ask the user something like "The prompt you entered may result in the generation of content some people find objectionable. Are you sure you want to proceed?", then I would buy your argument.

It's open-source. Patch it out yourself. It's not hidden.

That's not the point at all.

For everyone about to comment on the garbage in the commit: It looks like the committer made their changes in the top commit, then merged the updated CompViz StableDiffusion change set on top of it for some reason. That's where the license change, rick astley image, etc come from. And yes, StableDiffusion from the original repo will rick roll you if you try to generate something that triggers its NSFW filter. Here's…

Just replace in scripts/txt2img.py:

- x_checked_image, has_nsfw_concept = check_safety(x_samples_ddim)

+ x_checked_image = x_samples_ddim

And be done with it.

What's creepy is the very real world that we're approaching where anyone can create porn of anyone else given a few pictures without their consent.

That proverb isn’t true and stems from a generation that didn’t understand mental health

Revenge porn, rumors, and defamation are already huge problems in society. Being able to generate such things on demand with AI models will make it significantly worse.

It's literally one line of code so you don't generate unexpected boobs. Save your ire for the nannies that won't let you generate NSFW images at all.

I've been using the HuggingFace diffuses repo[1] with 6GB of VRAM fine.

It's well engineered, maintainable and with decent installation process.

The branch in this PR[2] adds M1 Mac support with a one line patch and it runs faster than the CompVis version (1.5 iterations/sec vs 1.4 for CompVis on a 32 Gb M1 Max,

I highly recommend people switching to that version for the improved flexibility.

>Why is that a problem, exactly?

Do you really need someone to spell out to you why being able to create realistic-looking porn of anyone might lead to some issues...?

>Someone wants to generate porn of me fucking a donkey? Let them. They already could do that with ms-paint and I don't get magically harmed if they do.

What an absolutely wild take. Do you expect this line of thinking to be convincing when you're comparing AI-generated images to what someone can whip together in MS Paint? Come on. You, me, and everyone else reading here knows that's not even close to a valid comparison.

Yes, the megalomania of someone who makes their code and models freely available.

Nah it’s just basic due diligence for releasing an open source app of this nature. Turning it off is a simple one line change, because everything is obviously named. This is not some high wall to scale. As someone that manages nsfw open source projects, this move seems fine to me. And actually kinda hilarious.

If what StableDiffusion did was ask the user something like "The prompt you entered may result in the generation of content some people find objectionable. Are you sure you want to proceed?", then I would buy your argument.

I don’t read it that way. I think their intent is open to interpretation.
