Hope not. This is a worse license.
- gjsman-1000 4y agoThis is the dumb part about open-source models. Criminals, governments, and propaganda spreaders need not worry about the license; but legitimate users do.
- manv1 4y agoThis is the same problem with laws. The only people that follow them are legitimate users.
- tasty_freeze 4y agoI hear this complaint often, especially in regards to gun control. Yes, there are a subset of people who do what they are going to do irrespective of laws. There is also a middle ground of people where the laws might curtail unwanted behavior. But the main purpose is it provides a basis for punishing unwanted behavior. To make it concrete, one could argue that bank robbers rob banks even though it is illegal, so why have a law against it since law abiding people aren't going to rob banks. Does anyone really think we should remove such laws?
- Jackson__ 4y agoAs far as I can tell from Emad's discord and twitter discussion, the idea appears to be to make this a "research" release, and therefore the worse license. At a later point the model will be renamed "StableIf", and released with a similar license to StableDiffusion.
- mkaic 4y agoYeah Emad was clarifying this on the LAION discord the other day — plan is to have a better-licensed version out Eventually™, guess we'll see how long that takes.
- anticensor 4y agofor certain values of soon™ and eventually™
- dragonwriter 4y agoWell, its a better license than SDXL is available under right now (which is “you can’t have it, but you can use it on StabilityAI’s hosted services”.)
