    I feel like the cat is way out of the bag on this. Stable diffusion can be run locally. Hugging Face has over 15,000 models labelled with text to image generation.

      I guess it’s a matter of increasing the friction to making one. This will slightly decrease the number of them?

      Or they just don’t want to be associated with it

        But that’s not necessary a better thing to do then. It might decrease awareness on the ease of generating fake images for the general public 🙁

    Fun fact: Midjourney bans images of genocidal dictator Xi Jinping, but not other world leaders.

        They want to make as much money as they possibly can, so they take all steps to ensure they cannot hurt the feelings of Poo-Bear :)

        It’s fucking pathetic to watch a company choose to kowtow to a dictator for the hope of profit

            There’s never enough proof for some people. There are Holocaust deniers ffs

            As for China, the proof is in the pudding. Can you go there and openly speak about it? Can anyone just go up to the camps unannounced and check? Or can you only go there when and how the government wants, like the Nazis did when they invited the International red cross to one of their camps and made a little movie about it to show how humane they were, and then at the end of the film they simply sent everyone there to Auschwitz?

              where is it? you fascists just link me western propaganda pieces with wild speculation and pictures of some random inmates.

              never actual evidence.

              the palestinian genocide on the other hand is happening and being happily financed and encouraged by the us…

      I’ve had family member ask me about AI since I’m younger and I tell them every time that they aren’t ready for it at all. Especially in this years elections, AI will be weaponized immediately. Like in a few months the machines will turn on from countries around the world to generate fake images and mountains of fake articles and videos and sound bites. Basically, the average Facebook user will be flooded with misinformation and fakery to the point of overload.

      AI stuff is survival of the believable, not reality. So if you can believe it, even just a little, you will reinforce an AI model on the edge of your disbelief and it is designed to perfect delusion and extremism.

      This year will end in tragedy. I guarantee it.

        If you put it like this, it does not sound that bad - since that is already the case. /not sure if s or not.

          When I say misinformation and fakery, I mean that this information won’t be the normal type. It’ll be closer to fabrication or lies where the truth is not even partially represented. Same with fakery. It’s the difference between propaganda editing and straight up CGI or photoshop. The propaganda editing is common. Skew the narrative to the point of misinforming. The other type is not currently common. Because making a believable lie vs a parody of the truth takes more time. But AI can and will change that.

          For a while now Facebook has been a place of delusion where a different reality exists for people. This will double or triple that disconnect and will likely drive the whole platform into full post-truth but then also delusional truth. I hope I’m wrong but I doubt it.

    All well and good for text prompts but Midjourney lets you upload an image and modify it, or smash two images together. Are their filters going to detect trump and biden’s faces in those images? Not sure AI is there yet.
