"Judge Orrick writes that it is “unclear” as to whether Stable Diffusion holds “compressed copies” of the images and points to the defense’s argument that the training dataset, which contains five billion images, can “not possibly be compressed into an active program.”"
Five billion images in compressed lossy format can easily fit into an active program. The only variable is quality. Five billion images in the original format and quality is a different matter, but then that requirement for copyrightable would be drastically insufficient.
- bensecure 3y agoAssuming stable diffusion is ten gigabytes, that's 2 bytes per image. 2 bytes would be too small for a short textual description of the image, let alone a scaled copy of the image.
- belorn 3y agoAssuming they don't need to use all Five billion images, the bytes per image will be larger. They can also use composites and filters to remove duplicates and images similar enough, or generative series. One do not need 2 bytes per images if one million of images are blank, even if they are uniquely of different sizes. The amount of bytes to represent one million blank images in code is very few. One only need to store the unique aspects of the images, and if one compresses the images then the range of uniqueness drops based on the quality required. Very unique images will naturally have larger footprint, based on the quality that one want to retain.
