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. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/may/07/many-re...

To play devil's advocate being able to generate this kind of content on demand with AI may actually make things significantly worse.

The reason why revenge porn, rumours, and defamation are all possible online is because there's a level of plausibility to these things -- especially revenge porn.

Now that plausibility goes out the window because of AI generated content. Someone posts your actual nudes? Give a nervous laugh and say that AI made them.

Someone says they heard a rumour about you and asks if it's true? Say 'don't believe everything you read on the internet, you know they have AI that writes anything you want now, right?"

> And yes, StableDiffusion from the original repo will rick roll you if you try to generate something that triggers its NSFW filter. 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…

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 can cause all sorts of lasting psychological harm and other societal negative consequences. Even if this probably can't be entirely avoided, that doesn't mean that the folks developing these models are obligated to make it easy or are incorrect to take steps to avoid…

It is almost like a human able to imagine. If you think human mind is creepy because it can create any thought and start worrying about some psychological harm then you have created a false prison within your own mind where scary thoughts will creep in.

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...?

A less creative next generation as they don't have to close there eyes and imagine generated porn of anyone.

The second problem will be finding people that you would even want generated porn for.

Almost impossible to pinpoint what changed thanks to thousands of lines of completely irrelevant changes and shitty commit messages. It seems the only changeset that might be relevant out of +2,273 -1,531 is the +11 -7 from https://github.com/basujindal/stable-diffusion/pull/103/comm... ? Does it even work?

> Does it even work? It has an effect, but nothing like what's claimed in the submission title. On a 1070Ti (8GB), I managed to go up from 512 576 to 576 640.

Has anyone gotten to run on a 4gig card?

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

The proverb describes a state of mind one should aspire to. "Words will never hurt me" not because saying mean things can never do harm (it obviously can), but because I make an effort to control my emotions and reactions. Just as physical health is improved by a nutritious diet and regular exercise, mental health is improved by proper habits of mind.

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. As currently implemented (and the implementation took more work than a confirmation prompt would have!), it's an obvious attempt to control, rather than protect, users. They try their best to dres…

Fork it and fix it, see if your branch gains traction.
