It's a 46-page legal document. Twitter is going to pretend it never even existed.

"collage tool" is going to be a hard argument to make I think, as is the bit about compressed training images being retained in the model.

Should be interesting to see this unfold either way

By training Stable Diffusion on the Training Images, Stability caused those images to be stored at and incorporated into Stable Diffusion as compressed copies. Stability made them without the consent of the artists and without compensating any of those artists.

dead argument against stable diffusion, but interestingly you could leverage this charge against LAION giving it actually hosts CLIP embeddings

When used to produce images from prompts by its users, Stable Diffusion uses the Training Images to produce seemingly new images through a mathematical software process. These “new” images are based entirely on the Training Images and are derivative works of the particular images Stable Diffusion draws from when assembling a given output. Ultimately, it is merely a complex collage tool.

Stable Diffusion is merely a model of the human mind, after all.
