Because nature abhors a vacuum, and this technology has created one.

It turns out that nature doesn't make SAAS This is an extremely expensive service to make and run, requiring tens of millions of dollars of hardware to get started, and doesn't produce revenue Instead of folksy sayings, see if you can answer the actual question What motivation does another company have for creating this service?

  Make people depends on ecosystem. I'll see AWS/Azure/NVIDIA doing smth like that as that just to create they own ecosystem as its extremely profitable to sell gpu VM's for them.

    I presume it's like Microsoft turning a blind eye to unlicensed use of Windows and Office for home users. When they get hired they already prefer MS solutions they know since they were students.

  >What motivation does another company have for creating this service? They won't need to create this deepfake training specifically, they just need to turn a blind eye to their existing hardware being applied this way. Three motivations come to mind: 1. It's a convenient selling point to grow the user base. "We give you complete freedom to run your models and don't spy on you like the other guys do! We will never stop you from doing things unless the government forces us to!" 2. It's an easy way to frontrun criminal activity that is poised to disrupt society in the near future. Hire a CEO with a cool sounding hacker name, advertise on a bunch of telegram groups, while secretly logging all identifiers and making all inputs/outputs searchable by law enforcement :) 3. By owning the data used to train and generate Deepfakes, you have a rich dataset that could be used academically or for training counter-models to detect future Deepfakes.

    I feel like you're completely missing the point of what I said 1. Not really 2. What? 3. No you don't
