It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

A lot of people here are missing the funniest thing about this: SAI is floundering, has lost most of its tech talent, and suffered hard to the double punch of SD3 sucking complete shit and Flux showing up like a month later and being everything people had expected SD3 to be but better. SAI has also been pivoting away from the open source release model that got them literally all of the attention they've gotten in the first place.
So it looks like James Cameron's role with this would be trying to use his reputation to grift more investor money to keep the company that now doesn't have the engineers responsible for all the popular Stable Diffusion models anymore afloat. I wonder if he knows he's hopping onto a failing grift or if they've successfully tricked him into thinking there's anything of value left in SAI?
Oh god you're right lol
SD3 was such a flop I actually completely forgot all that even happened
Yeah. They probably wined and dined him to try and get people to think their failing company still has some merit. This is a very common part of the tech grift, they find some celebrity to endorse them to get more money before they finally cut and run.
