When a german #photographer asked for his images to be removed from #LAION 5-B, LAION didn't just refuse ..

They sent him a bill for nearly $1000 for th crime of asking for his photos to be removed ..

Ich fürchte, die #LAION-Initiative zäumt das Pferd vom falschen Ende auf und versucht, einer schädlichen Entwicklung hinterherzurennen.

Als erstes braucht die EU eine eigene Suchmaschinen-Infrastruktur. @MetaGer und andere sind beteiligt an einem tragisch unterfinanzierten Projekt, das einen #OpenWebIndex hervorbringen soll. Das wäre ein Innovationsmotor und eine Voraussetzung dafür, dass LAION gelingen kann, sollten wir sowas tatsächlich brauchen.

Lol, LAION's Open-Assistant is a lot less neutered than ChatGPT.

LAION's "Open Assistant" (open-source ChatGPT competitor) just made the first version of their chat assistant available for testing!

What are people's thoughts on the #LAION counter-proposal to the "6 month #AI training moratorium" letter?

I think the moratorium is a bad idea, pushing research underground where it can't be monitored. Programs to accelerate our emphasis on safety, control would be more effective.

AI petition from #LAION calling to democratize #AI #research, while keeping its #progress tempo.

"Securing Our Digital Future: Calling for CERN like international organization to transparently coordinate and progress on large-scale AI research and its safety"

Boosts appreciated.

The thing I want to push people on is leaving open options on the table.

Building on top of closed / commercial models hands a choke point to a small group of people, and will set us back.

I know a bit about the German non-profit #LAION that appears to be the lead in the open space. I have a few notes in my second brain on this https://bmannconsulting.com/#/page/Laion

I have no clue on what a model for “licensed models” looks like where we keep some optionality around “our” data.

The biggest surprise for me in 2022 and now also in 2023 was that the development of open-source AI like #StableDiffusion and now also #OpenAssistant would be heavily driven from Germany because I thought Germany would be pretty unconducive for such disruptive developments mainly because of our excessive bureaucracy but #CompVis and #LAION, the organizations behind the initial training and behind the training-dataset for Stable Diffusion and now also Open Assistant, are both from Germany.

@Omstero

Threat if they continue to be trained on copyrighted data (which is at the moment MOST if not ALL of them)

Supporting Tool if the model is trained on CC0 data (which is at the moment, FEW if not NONE of them)
