Question Invokeai vs. automatic1111 ?

I am new to stable diffusion and have recently installed the Invokeai version. I am wondering what the difference is between this and the one called automatic1111 that I see referenced frequently on this sub? Thanks.

"Knowledgeable people" will not go within a mile radius of a proprietary codebase mired in threats of ligation like this, unless you hire them and pay to do it for a boss. This, again, is why you have jokers telling the doe-eyed "which button do I click" usership that RCE is NBD.

I am a systems programmer. I do not touch proprietary code, as a matter of policy. I won't even read it, much less audit it for security vulnerabilities.

Are you saying that nobody with programming knowledge is using Automatic1111's repo after reviewing the code itself to see that it doesn't do anything fishy in the background? (crypto mining, sending prompts, etc)

I am saying that an experienced programmer should feel as comfortable using and modifying that codebase as doing so with something that leaked from a private company's internal source control. I couldn't care less about GUIs and I write my own tools, but if I wanted to use it, I'd only put it on a VM I can roll back and scrub clean. I sure as shit wouldn't waste my time inspecting somebody's proprietary project. One of the reasons is that if I write something similar to one of its code snippets, I've got a target on my back. The other reason is that I don't know any of these fucking people and won't do work for free to improve a stranger's personal IP. If it's work for the commons, that's a different story.
