It seems that the leak originated from 4chan [1]. Two people in the same thread had access to the weights and verified that their hashes match [2][3] to make sure that the model isn't watermarked. However, the leaker made a mistake of adding the original download script which had his unique download URL to the torrent [4], so Meta can easily find them if they want to.

Just a warning to readers, I would not recommend clicking 4chan links while at work.

Immortal as long as someone's paying to run the instance.
You'll have tiered processing, just like today. You can slum it out with limited simulation capabilities, or if you have a job you can afford the premium processor hours.
Rather funny, BTW, compared to most works around a similar premise.

Because it's really the onlY place left to go if you want to be offensive. First forums, then platforms censored offensive people out of their niche places. Even Cloudflare participates. 4chan remains the only privately owned large forum.

> Does that make my work output immediately tainted and the company has to immediately file for bankruptcy? No, much easier just to fire you. You’ve shown a disregard for what is almost certainly company policy, and created legal risks for the company (e.g. if anyone walked in on you while your screen was showing naked people).
That must be up there on the "imaginary legal knowledge" shelf.
Good luck convincing your HR / legal otherwise.
