Amazing stuff. It’s unfortunate that you have to be a famous blogger to get access to this. It’s been said enough at this point but it really goes against the spirit of OpenAI and what they ostensibly stand for.
And that it’s crippled to be prevent expressions of concepts of violence, politics, or sexuality. Making it the worlds most advanced clip art generator instead of a revolutionarily powerful tool for artistic expression.
And before anyone even says it… obviously they have to try and prevent child porn. That’s settled US Law with regards to artistic depictions of underage sex. However everything else they are preventing (and would ban you for if they caught you deliberately found a way to trick it into producing) is protected artistic expression under freedom of speech, first amendment stuff.
The revolutionary powerful tool for radically upsetting artistic expression will not come from a billion-dollar corporate-funded research consortium and frankly a lot of artists would have a worldview crisis if it did. ;-)

I'm not clear what you mean by this. The laws regarding CSAM vary a lot across the USA because of the different states and then federal law on top. After a federal Supreme Court ruling that virtual images didn't meet the definition of CSAM a lot of jurisdictions modified their statutes to make constructed images also illegal (e.g. cartoons like "lolicon" come under this). It really comes down to where in the USA you live, and remembering that for most Internet crimes the state can charge you and also the federal government can also charge you. I wouldn't screw with these laws either. If I remember correctly there is one US state that has a mandatory minimum of 100 years in prison for a single image.
A true artist can express themselves without violence, politics, or sexuality. Art is about using the tools available to you and creating art. michelangelo didn’t have cad or 3d modeling programs, but he created great sculptures using the tools available to him.
Agreed. The same thing happened with GPT-3. The waitlists for OpenAI products are always obscene. The TechnoSiliconValleyTwitterPersonality elites always seem to get next day access. But normal people who aren’t chronically online seemingly never get access. Not very Open of them.
