  Can’t this bot developer just switch to them then? as replicate can’t know what it is being used for I would assume. Perhaps there was fine tuning or RAG being used that still needs a private and anonymous service solution.

  They have a list of prohibited uses which, though not has extensive as OpenAI's, includes this gem at the end (emphasis added): > To engage in any other conduct that restricts or inhibits anyone’s use or enjoyment of Service, or which, as determined by us, may harm or offend Company or users of Service or expose them to liability. Edit: Also, their privacy policy makes it clear that "completely anonymous" is not a thing they offer— they collect emails and IP addresses, transmit them to the United States, and will deliver them to law enforcement upon request. https://replicate.com/privacy https://replicate.com/privacy

    So it’s not anonymous then because they see what the customer is generating? Otherwise how can they know what it’s being used for?
    • lolinder 3y ago
      Yes, it's definitely not anonymous. I added to my comment right as you replied—they collect IP addresses and usage data and explicitly say they will share that with law enforcement upon request. It's a US-based company, so they kind of have to.

        Let’s say there exists some “illegal” or “criminal” output of an LLM, doesn’t that mean by definition the government has criminalized speech and thought? since the output of an LLM is by definition tokens of language. Now image generation I guess we can see as different since we do agree some images or videos have content society sees as illegal. The whole topic is fascinating to me. Censorship and regulation around generative AIs.
