Banned from multiple communities I never heard of because I criticized a pro-AI mod
(futurology.today)
Pro-AI mod bans me from a bunch of communities I never even heard of because he didn't like my criticism of the fake slop that isn't art which he posts.
They run a community about hating corporate ai and a bunch of corporate ai communities. I see they outsourced 100% of their brain function to Slop Defecation
This reminds me of yuppie-punk--love the punk aesthetic, hate the philosophy.
Stable Diffusion isn't a company, but also, if you're heavily invested in one side of the argument, controlling your opposition is the best possible outcome. You allow regular dissent because that's irrelevant and changes nothing, but when actual controversy happens, you can kill it instantly.
The exact same thing happens all over the world all the time, it's called controlled opposition.
Seems mostly Stable Diffusion, which is open source with corporate backing, but I also found the distinction kind of silly. Like, you hate AI if it's owned by Meta and OpenAI and whatnot, but it's cool as long as you can use it locally? Still have a lot of ethical implications, although it's admittedly marginally better.
It's all slop which steals from artists. Just because they're "anarchists" doesn't give them the right to steal art from other people!
Agree, just think it's funny they think they're somehow better. Lol
You know stable diffusion is not a company right?
4 of the 5 founders of Slop Defecation formed a company with the express purpose of continuing work and to profit off of Slop Defecation. That being Stability AI, who has received hundreds of millions of dollars in funding. Just because that company is based in Europe and not the United States doesn’t make them any less of a massive corporation now.
And just cause they say they are anarchists doesn’t make them any less of a horrible human being. They steal billions of people’s work, without proper payment for said work. Not even so much as a line of text stating who they stole from.
Lastly, obviously the name of the model is not the name of the company. Just like how ChatGPT is not the name of another slop company.
It's all corporate slop at the end of the day. Doesn't matter if no one put their name on it. Stable diffusion sounds like something generated by a slopper "what do I call this image generation AI?" Slopper: "Stable Diffusion"
AI art is slop, but math isn't
