Wait... what? You've invested half a million into AI porn? Seriously!? I'm morbidly curious: how do you plan to recoup your costs? I assume porn is so trivial

  No, I'm not building porn! (Not that there's anything wrong with those that are.) I conflated GenAI as a whole and I see how my post is interpreted now. My mistake. I always think of the oft-quoted meme about porn being the canary in the coal mine for the adoption of new tech: film, VHS, usenet, web, P2P, Twitter/Tumblr/Reddit, streaming, VR, AI... I think the trend has held pretty well historically. NovelAI, Civit, etc. are making a lot of money on it, and they're leading indicators of more expansive "SFW" use cases that will follow.
