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…

That would absolutely be more work than just subbing in an image and would neither have worked in the original implementation nor the various frontends it's been used in. This is quite a classic HN kind of comment. Immediately assumes specific problematic intent and proposes a solution that doesn't fit the API.

Now instead users have to spend hours upon hours editing docker images to remove it. Much easier.

StableDiffusion isn't freely available, in the "Free Software" sense. They use the highly uncommon "CreativeML Open RAIL-M License" which is a wall of text composed of weasel words describing how the software is so incredibly advanced and dangerous that despite the authors' earnest wish to do so, they cannot in good conscience make it genuinely Free Software. These people wrote a bunch of Python code that pipes image…

Oh please, all the creators of these image AIs (OpenAI, Google, Midjourney, SD, etc) are being very very cautious with this stuff. It’s not going to end humanity, but it could easily lead to some really gross content that would paint the responsible organization in a bad light.

True, they are all very cautious not to let bad actors generate bad content.

Where "bad actors" are defined as "people who disagree with us", and "bad content" is defined as "things we don't want to see".

Needless to say, the list of bad actors never includes the authors themselves, and the list of unacceptable applications never includes anything the authors had in mind.

As a learning opportunity for people like me, what does a good PR look like for a large change?

I would say large contributions from non-members generally work rather terribly in open source. If you absolutely have to, - Communicate ahead of time; don't surprise maintainers with sweeping architectural changes or huge features no one wants or would like to review; - Try to break up changes into logical units that can be understood and reviewed independently; - Write useful and detailed commit messages (some bad…

This applies just as much if not more in a closed team setting.

Personally I blame juniors that insist on using the git CLI instead of a million visual GUIs to git. They get told just do a git commit, have no idea what they changed so can't produce a meaningful commit message, and because it's the command line good luck getting a visual representation of what you're committing.

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…

> 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…

Remember the Terminator movie? It’s about an AI that went too far.

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

And you save some more RAM too!

You don't since model is loaded earlier in the script.

Can you elaborate? Would Adobe be painted in a bad light if someone committed a crime using Photoshop?

Honestly it just feels weird. I've read the license restrictions and I can't see why they are there out what they're preventing.

This is one of the worst PRs i've ever seen.

If I was involved, this PR would be closed and conversation locked, simply because its a ton of formatting changes. The only "memory efficiency" changes are like 6 lines of python where the author uses `del`. Thats it. Everything else is formatting bullshit, and some other merge stuff. Yikes.

Also, some of those PR comments are written by kids or something. Wtf
