As someone who witnessed AI Dungeon's GPT-3 model with an unlimited uninhibited imagination for erotica I would download everything now before they cripple the models. I would not be surprised if they very shortly completely stop downloads due to "abuse" and pursue a SAAS model. I think it's funny how Yandex, a Russian company, releases these big language models without all the AI safety handwringing in their press releases. The Russians have a tradition of releasing technology without giving a lot of worry about what happens to it, for better or for worse. For example, they made between 75 and 100 million ak-47s, a not in any way limited machine gun, and it spread to every corner of the world. They even gave out all the plans and technical assistance so any one of the organizations they worked with could produce their own. 20 different countries make ak-47s currently. Of course you had to register every xerox machine in the Soviet Union, so maybe they just had different priorities? The west is absolutely fascinated these days with the control of advanced technology. Drones, Blockchain, and AI models seem to be the latest things that the west is determined to exercise control over. For example: "Many of the technological advances we currently see are not properly accounted for in the current regulatory framework and might even disrupt the social contract that governments have established with their citizens. Agile governance means that regulators must find ways to adapt continuously to a new, fast-changing environment by reinventing themselves to understand better what they are regulating. To do so, governments and regulatory agencies need to closely collaborate with business and civil society to shape the necessary global, regional and industrial transformations." -Klaus Schwab, "The Fourth Industrial Revolution", Page 70.

It's not about control of advanced technologies but rather making such technologies look more powerful by pointing out real or imagined destructive capabilities. If you want funding or "big up" a topic, claim it has the power to bring down the world (anyone remembering gray goo?).

    No, the concept it was based on: https://www.britannica.com/technology/grey-goo https://www.britannica.com/technology/grey-goo > grey goo, a nightmarish scenario of nanotechnology in which out-of-control self-replicating nanobots destroy the biosphere by endlessly producing replicas of themselves and feeding on materials necessary for life.

StableDiffusion was trained by an academic lab in Germany, which is rather different from a company in California doing it. Though they both have the problem that the output is illegal in many countries with the wrong prompts.

"The West". As if we're all one block, a single minded hive. Corrupted, degraded by a heavy capitalistic and egotistical mindset. It's fascinating to see and talk about our shortcomings isn't it? We are so inferior. The fact you wrote "The West" signifies you're one of "The Others". Someone possibly from Russia. Then you compliment Russia and degrade "The West" adding further strength to this hypothesis. Using "The West", a simple minded sound byte that's been used in propaganda for centuries, a way of appealing to our ape-instincts to protect our tribe against others. "Us" vs "The Others". You should make a little effort in seeing how ridiculous, infantile, and brainwashed it is to refer to countries that are not Asia or Russia as "The West".
