I should mention that Stability.AI, Hugging Face and Stable Diffusion are tightly connected. It's all a bit muddy, and I didn't help by mixing them up. However, what I think is that Stability.AI is the company, "Hugging Face" is the community based website for sharing models and the likes, and "Stable Diffusion" is the implementation of the diffusion model developed in a university in Munich. It's not really fair to take it all out on Stability.AI, as at the very least, they are sharing the technology and models with everyone (for the time being). And that open up some incredible possibilities. It's much worse what DALL-E, Midjourney and others do, which is much the same, while they let people play with it, but it's all theirs, and they can take it away at any moment.
