All this is PR talk after few dramas with immoral activities.
They got 100mil USD in founding and I feel like pressure squeeze them hard as they are trying to monetise models, but how you monetise open source models when someone can just fine-tune your weights and make better/faster/cleaner model and software without losing 10mil+ on training original.
You are always few mil behind rivals and after past few weeks which was PR nightmare they lost most of the "community driven" advantage.
I fell like they are extremely desperate for attention (drama was artificially created cause it clicks conspiracy) or they are just so chaotic and lack proper leaders that everything is burin.
- passion__desire 4y agoEmad mentioned about governing Stability AI as a DAO of DAOs. If they can't even run a traditional company properly, forget about the DAOs chaos.
- d3nj4l 4y agoCan you provide any context on the "past weeks" drama? Haven't been following this space closely so I don't know what happened. Honestly surprised about this turn because I used to follow Emad on twitter and he was always strongly for open models.
- lbotos 4y agoThere are local WebUIs. Someone named AUTOMATIC1111 has a popular one. They added in a "leaked" model. Stability.ai, banned AUTO from their discord and accused him of "stealing/promoting piracy". Community enflamed. They then apologized and let him back in. Stability.ai took over the /r/stablediffusion subreddit. Community enflamed. They then turned the subreddit back over to the community Stability.ai delayed 1.5 model. And now sent this justification. Community enflamed.
