What does HackerNews think of stablediffusion?

Most of the latent and stable diffusion authors also work at Stability AI, as do many other generative AI research leaders in media.

Naming rights on the model were no part of the compute grant, we give them incredibly freely and also support. Naming was suggested by the researchers in this case.

We don't just put out compute, but made sure to clear up everything from Stable Diffusion 2 onwards 100% trained by Robin and team: https://github.com/Stability-AI/stablediffusion

> It is our pleasure to announce the open-source release of Stable Diffusion Version 2.[0]

> The original Stable Diffusion V1 led by CompVis changed the nature of open source AI models and spawned hundreds of other models and innovations all over the world. It had one of the fastest climbs to 10K Github stars of any software, rocketing through 33K stars in less than two months.
