I'm in a kind of same boat. I think indie games are the way to show true potential of SD. Hence, I'm working on http://diffudle.com/ which is a mix of Wheel Of Fortune + Stable Diffusion + Wordle. I Can't figure it out but feels to me like its lacking something.
I really want to try this. Please add mobile iOS support!

> It would be interesting to see if this technology can erode the copyright concept a bit Copyright law (especially in US) only ever changes in the direction that suits corporations. So - no. What I expect instead is artists being sued by a big tech company for copyright violations because that big tech company used the artist Public Domain image for training their copyrighted AI and as a result it created a copyrigh…
>Copyright law (especially in US) only ever changes in the direction that suits corporations. So - no. Just objectively false.

That's one of the great victories of capitalism: somehow it has convinced people that a 300 year-old economic system originating in north-western Europe is as natural as the air we breathe, and as inevitable as gravity or any natural law.
You have to threaten to shoot people to get them to practice any other -ism. So, yes, capitalism in the sense of the freedom to trade one's labor does appear to be naturally and universally emergent in advanced human societies, in the absence of violent interference.

Is artificially generated CSAM that doesn't actually involve children in its production not an improvement over the status quo?
No, it's not. The underlying idea you have is that the artificial CSAM is a viable substitute good - i.e. that pedophiles will use that instead of actually offending and hurting children. This isn't borne out by the scientific evidence; instead of dissuading pedophiles from offending it just trains them to offend more. This is opposite of what we thought we learned from the debate about violent video games, where we…
I can't believe someone says this. It's so not true in my experience. These feelings have a lot in common, but they are definitely not the same.
I am a solo dev working on a creative content creation app to leverage the latest developments in AI. Demoing even the v1 of stable diffusion to the non-technical general users blows them away completely. Now that v2 is here, it’s clear we’re not able to keep pace in developing products to take advantage of it. The general public still is blown away by autosuggest in mobile OS keyboards. Very few really know how far…

Capitalism is certainly not characterized by the absence of violent interference.
To the extent that certain aspects of capitalism lead to violence, those are elements that other parties -- generally corporations or governments rather than writers or philosophers -- added to the ideology.
People die trying to break out of non-capitalist countries, while they die trying to break in to capitalist ones. That's one possible way to tell the good guys from the bad guys.

Indeed.
From the Netherlands, never heard of it. Living in germany four years now, now that you remind me, I had to dig deep in my memory (at first I thought it might mean SS somehow), but yeah someone once mentioned it's the 8th character of the alphabet and so if you associate HH with the 2nd world war, you can read something into it. Most definitely not among the first associations for me, and believe me we had enough WW2…
