OctoML, the engine that powers a16z funded Civitai, thought the images could qualify as “child pornography,” but ultimately decided to keep working with the company anyway, internal Slack chats and other material shows.

While I think this is a bit overblown in sensationalism, any company that allows user generative AI, especially as open as using LoRas and any amount of checkpoints, needs to have very good protection against synthetic CSAM like this. To the best of my knowledge, only the AI Horde has taken this sufficiently seriously until now.

    I agree with you

    With fictional content their is no child involved and their certainly isn’t anything living involved

    I’d just wish governments in countries that have made this class of fictional images illegal would go after real child molesters instead of makers / consumers of fictional images where no living being is involved

    People who consume and make fictional content won’t harm anyone
