Honestly this whole "responsible AI" thing is a sad last attempt to run away from the inevitable. The reality is that our politicians will end up in fake photos/videos/audio recordings, people who can't even draw a straight line will be able to make crazy online memes with any kind of imaginable image in just seconds no matter how offensive it is to some people and there is absolutely nothing we can do about it.

When these companies and OS projects create "responsible" or restricted AIs they are at the same time creating a demand for AIs that have no limitations and eventually open source or even commercial AIs will respond to this demand.

I hope while they still play this "responsible" game, they are at least using the time to figure out ways how we can live with this kind of advanced AI in a future where everything is fake/false by default.

It's a farce.

Stable Diffusion cost less than $1 million to train.

I'm dumbfounded to see all the gatekeeping around these ML models considering this.

Within 24 months someone will train a stronger model with a $20,000 home setup and this gatekeeping ridiculousness will be dead for good.

I'm excited to see what $1 million gets you in 24 months, possibly a multi-trillion parameter NLP god. :p

This.

"Responsible" is just PR talk for "We're gonna try and NOT release it for as long as possible so that we can milk money from you by blackboxing the models and having you pay for tokens".

I believe the current stable diffusion license is "responsible" enough.
