Someone else will come along that doesn't have the same arbitrary limitations, it's a battle you're bound to lose.
Agreed. Unfortunately, it's just a matter of time before someone develops a similar open source project that someone uses for unsavory purposes.
A problem is that training huge model costs $$. https://twitter.com/EMostaque/status/1563870674111832066
I wonder is it possible to distribute the task for volunteer's idle GPU (like BOINC)
The porn industry is much more than $600k. If there's a business model/need for deepfake porn somebody would do it eventually.

Mainly people making porn (e.g. stuff like deepnudes). It seems like a lot of work has gone into into preventing that (e.g. filtering porn out of training data, having porn-detection models to block porny output). There's also been a lot of talk about political fakes, etc, but I'm not sure how likely that is to actually happen at this point. I think one of the "selling points" of limiting access to DALL*E was that they could revoke access to people who they deemed to be misusing it.
