This whole situation is pretty fascinating; SD makes the best image generator ecosystem ever (in terms of potential/capability) and now it essentially has to spend most of its time deliberately making it worse because "business/society."

They're also hated by most "creative" workers, are being sued by a myriad of parties, and are under government scrutiny in a number of jurisdictions for enabling political deep fakes and non-consentual pornography. There's a reason why they're trying to save face lol.
- jrm4 2y agoLol, I didn't know they raised that much! Honestly, I thank them for their service, probably the best 100m ever spent on something like this.

- __loam 2y agoRight, if we say too much then maybe titans of industry will write another manifesto about how we're all too mean to them when we point out these businesses have negative impact on society or are completely unsound from a business perspective.
