SETI had a clear purpose that donors of computer resources could get behind. The LLM corps early on decided to drink the steering poison that will keep there from ever being a united community for making open LLMs. At best you'll get a fractured world of different projects, each with its own steering directives.

The internet is for ____.

That could be a factor that unites enough people to donate their compute time to build diffusion models. At least if it was easy enough to set up.

Related: people donating computing power to run diffusion and text models, which is definitely largely used for porn.

Or the large amounts of community efforts (not exactly crowd sourced though) for diffusion fine-tunes and tools! Pony XL, and other uncensored models, for example. I haven't kept up with the rest, because there's just too much.
