>> We want to crush any chance of CP. If folks use it for that entire generative AI space will go radioactive and yes there are some things that can be done to make it much much harder for folks to abuse and we are working with THORN and others right now to make it a reality.

I'm absolutely certain Linux has been used to kill children. Detergent, pesticide, and even pillows too!

Tools shouldn't be limited based on what the worst way they can be used. Stable diffusion is an absolute positive for society. Even when it's used to generate CP, every image that model creates is not one that involves a real kid.

The cat is out of the bag when OpenAI announced DALLE. Stable Diffusion only accelerated it a bit. Even if Sablity or lawmakers manage to prevent or outlaw open models, criminals will continue to build their own and ignore laws.

The only thing their reluctance does is harm Stability and give their competition a chance to catch up. Perhaps that's a good thing. Maybe it's time for another organization to take the lead.

This is what happens when people/legislators choose to not see further than their own noses.

Many products benefit pedophiles in one way or another. Mobile phones, computers, video editing software, cars (vans?).

"But that's ridiculous, of course we can't prohibit cars just because they can be used by criminals."

Exactly.

> criminals will continue to build their own and ignore laws

More specifically, researchers and hobbyists would be made criminals in this hypothetical. Why would I stop playing with ML just because someone passed a useless and poorly thought out law?
