So it wasn't the fact that large swaths of the wiki, or the sample images for the extensions are using images that are obviously stand ins for lolicon?

There's so much icky stuff going on in the generative art community and no one knows just how deep that rabbit hole goes.

E.g.: https://github.com/Kahsolt/stable-diffusion-webui-sonar

(See bottom of page).

I recommend reporting that kind of content on GitHub. But please don't lump the entire generative art community in with "icky stuff".

To be fair, there is substantial interest in using things like Stable Diffusion to generate pornography. There are several projects for hentai, etc.

There have also been large threads on /g/ teaching people how to generate hypernerworks with suspiciously young looking subjects since the beginning. The "icky stuff" has a disturbing footprint.

Wanting to making pornography is perfectly normal and healthy; that's not something I consider icky. When I quoted "icky stuff" I thought we were talking about the generation of underage subjects.

> underage subjects

Have you seen ANY legal age subjects? Subjectively, how much fraction of anime pictures do you consider to be portraying individuals able to consent?

I mean, if there was an NN code that is returning 0.0120000 for 85% in inference data but ranging evenly between 0.0 to 1.0 in training, intuition shouldn't be that it's the reality that is broken.

But it kind of is depending on your definition of icky. The fact that they've trained the models to be extremely proficient forgers should raise all sorts of red flags. I get the concept of homage and every great artist borrows/steals, blah blah, but as these things continue to get better, the lines between legit artist work and forgery will only blur to unknowable. Digital artists will now need to know how to cryptographically sign their work. There have been tools for this that most ignore because of pricing. (and no i'm not talking about NFT nonsense)

I don’t 100% follow, I did a bit of googling and I don’t exactly grasp the problem. Could you point me in the right direction?

The only reason stirner didn't explicitly defend liberalism is that germany circa the 1840s was really, really garbage. This is why people think he was an "anarchist"

It's in my self interest to not see icky things.

I don't understand why people give a shit. When did normies invade the spaces of these crazy intelligent lunatics? People purposely go play in filth then complain it's filthy.

But that doesn't mean that the creator of this repo needs to bend the knee to other people's beliefs and morals about what he should or should not do in relation to running the project.

It's like going to an artists twitter and then complaining that their art style is garbage and that they should change it. No one is forcing you to consume that person's content.

Not all content on the internet needs to appeal to everyone even if everyone is on the internet.

Re:Automatic1111 is back on GitHub after removing Embedding ... by shadowgovt on Thursday January 05, 2023 @01:00PM (#34263790)
Is the creator of this repo asking someone else to host the repo on their infrastructure?

No one is forcing him to use GitHub.

Re:Automatic1111 is back on GitHub after removing Embedding ... by charcircuit on Thursday January 05, 2023 @01:05PM (#34263872)
That is GitHub's job to decide. I am not talking about what GitHub thinks of it, but with what third parties think of it.
Re:Automatic1111 is back on GitHub after removing Embedding ... by shadowgovt on Thursday January 05, 2023 @01:17PM (#34264054)
GitHub has chosen to appeal to the centroid of its perceived potential userbase. That includes a certain amount of common-decency policing of content others choose to host on its service.

They'd rather lose a few Automatic1111's than have schoolteachers telling students "Don't go on GitHub, it's not safe" (or having school administrations ban its use).

Hi, so I looked at the links in the above post and while cartoony they are clearly not okay.

It's not a "normie" take that we shouldn't sexualize children, even if they are animated.

Re:Automatic1111 is back on GitHub after removing Embedding ... by sillysaurusx on Thursday January 05, 2023 @12:27PM (#34263276)
Are we looking at the same images? What’s sexual about https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kahsolt/stable-diffusion-w... ?

I was expecting some of the horrible stuff I’ve seen on 4chan, not something you might see in a mainstream (bad) anime.

If anything, it looks like the AI cleaned it up and made it more presentable.

Yeah, there's rarely the "disgusting child porn that sexualize minors" that people swear on bible to have seen it where they've seen it. It's always chalked up to "local cultural tolerances for molesting children" but ... almost feels like reading the SCP-040-JP creepypasta.
Re:Automatic1111 is back on GitHub after removing Embedding ... by dylan604 on Thursday January 05, 2023 @12:24PM (#34263220)
You just described a large swath of anime. I worked for a company licensing anime content, and there were some shows that I felt like I needed a shower after having to work with the content. As the parent of a small child during that time, it was very disturbing. I did not last long working for that company, and is the shortest stint for a company on my resume.
Re:Automatic1111 is back on GitHub after removing Embedding ... by sergiotapia on Thursday January 05, 2023 @12:19PM (#34263120)
It's repugnant, absolutely. But why do you care what those creeps are doing with code? That's what I don't understand.

These people are legit triggered. Not thinking in philosophical implications and the vast glorious millennia of history of the humanity in the past and future, but violently agitated and angry with almost physical pains coming up from deep down the center of their body. There really must be something in anime that swings a stinky rotten fish near the face where weebs don't have it, not just the face but maybe the body altogether.
