I wouldn't be surprised if this is another example of the HN automatic title mutilator. "If it ends in -os, it must be an operating system" is not even the stupidest rule in there.

Announcing your flagging is against the guidelines, too. Flagged.

I agree with you in general, it's not "Open Source". But in many cases you're allowed to fork them, and create and distribute derivative works (finetunes) from open models, and the training and inference code is also per

Every post and comment this account made so far is self-promotion. You can safely dismiss everything they say, it's not an actual person.

I remember back when Wordle was popular, people said the "Share result" feature was so effective, it was the reason for the game's viral success. I can't think of any other example though.

This will be the thing that does it. That sounds reasonable.

It would make sense if there was any activity on that older post. A 12 hour old post with no comments is dead, linking to it is a waste of time, especially for those who click on it to find 0 comments. I did click on your link, it was a was

Don't bother clicking, that post got 0 attention. Not helpful, mate.

The mods are obviously wrong and there should be way more pushback from the users. It's embarrassing.

It's baffling how almost no one here ever speaks out against it. Everybody just puts up with it even though we all know what a sign of arrogance and incompetence it is to attempt to alter post titles in this clumsy, embarrassingly brok

Non-commercial license, you should not call that "open-weight". Words have meaning. And people are having a laugh at how censored the model is. https://old.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/1tvtu

It's a fear response. I'm looking forward to the inevitable data center bombings, committed and cheered on by some of these muppets. Look at the top comment in this thread, that's just insane . Your comment will be downvoted

VC++ 6 was awesome, I wouldn't have a career if I didn't have pirated copies of VC++ 6 and Borland Delphi. And look at how clean and crisp it all looks. Every pixel has a purpose.

Could be! Let's check. I just need your name and address, your SSN, a list of businesses you are a client of, and a DNA sample.

Me too. I wish I could live in a society that protects free speech, and not just "free" (the kind that needs no protection in the first place) speech.

How many people do you require for it to be a legitmate concern? I can show you millions but you will disregard them anyway, because they all have wrong opinions.
