I think StableDiffusion is a good example of Web 3 because it decentralises the use of generative AI. If you have your own models you can interact with them to solve various tasks instead of using the web or external APIs, and getting tracked and censured in the process. AI creates a new private safe space for expression (A Room of One's Own).
- pornel 4y agoStableDiffusion is amazing, but it has little to do with the Web, especially the cryprobro one.
- stoobs 4y agoExactly, SD is basically a pile of python scripts talking to Cuda via pytorch, it can be completely disconnected from the network and run via a commandline, sure, there are web frontends available for it, but there's bugger all web 3.0 about it.
- visarga 4y agoIt has "Democratization. Decentralization. Censorship-resistance". It's more web3 than crypto.
- pornel 4y agoThat's just using a wishy-washy slogan to take credit for other people's work. None of the technologies that associate themselves with web3 had anything to do with stable diffusion. For SD, web3 has been worse than useless, because machine learning has been hindered by the miners hoarding GPUs.
