Making things up out of thin air like “the creator used someone else’s compute” goes beyond negativity because someone thinks the project is in the grey. That is just straight up disinformation.

Just curious. Do you feel the same way about DALL-E and Imagen?

Do you still plan to publish your research in a paper?

This entire thread is honestly so disturbing, this comment especially. Not only is it rife with misinformation (using copyrighted material for training is totally legal and the whole project is paid out of pocket), but is it really that big of a deal to want credit for the work they’ve done? The developer has had their work stolen by companies, influencers, and grifters, and people here are getting pissy that they can’t wait 10 seconds to wait for a popup.

I don’t know why, but I honestly expected more from HN.

MIT doesn’t own the model, where did you get that idea from? If you read through the website, it says that the developer alone owns everything related to the project, and the only funding he received from MIT was a small amount from the beginning.

It’s really strange reading these ignorant comments from HN…

“Make money”? The creator loses several thousands of dollars a month hosting the site, and it’s done for free. The Patreon donations are all voluntary and only offer a pittance to the developer.

I highly suggest reading into the project first. The Wiki article I linked before (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15.ai) answers all of your questions about copyright infringement.

If you want more information about 15.ai, I highly suggest reading their Wikipedia article! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15.ai

The whole history behind the project is fascinating: 4chan had a huge role in its development, and the project's work was stolen by an NFT company that a famous voice actor endorsed not too long ago.
