Apparently there's a chance they're going to release SDXL (their newest Stable Diffusion model) with gimped NSFW. The main reason from what I read is because SD v1 is able to generate child porn. Which is why they also censored SD v2 and make NSFW training much harder. And to no one's surprise, no one uses it. Just take a look at civitai.com and see how many porn models there are. All the SD models I've seen are based on SD v1.5.

One one hand, I understand their position of not wanting to be labeled as CP generator. It's really bad for business and they could lose all their investor funds. But on the other hand, I'm quite annoyed they keep releasing gimped models just because it could make some illegal stuff. It's not like I use SD to mainly generate porn. I just don't want to resort to older model when I do. But it seems like it's possible to be trained for NSFW at least, from the leaked SDXL 0.9. Though there are some rumors they delayed SDXL 1.0 to further censor it. But anyway, all of this is just a speculation. I hope they don't gimp it and just keep silent of NSFW.

With this I ended this half discussion, half rant post. Peace.
