Everyone’s being sued for something somewhere. You can use this.

It would be like banning Bittorrent at this point.

Stable Diffusion - or something functionally identical - is here to stay.

That’s a strange statement.

Who cares about frivolous lawsuits. Stable Diffision and the like tools will prevail. The main hope is that it will be their OSS versions and not corporate (Dall-E).

The works and ways of lives that are threatened by SD and the like are not worth preserving

And Google was sued many times back in the day for the same thing, because of their indexing of the web. They won out under fair use for the exact same reasons that all of these lawsuits will fail, the way these images are used falls very clearly within the dead center of fair use, and is probably even less questionable than Google's, since Google really does store and display direct copies of pieces of the content that it organizes.

I would be shocked if there were any significant tech companies that are not currently being sued. Frivolous (or maybe even not so frivolous) lawsuits are a fact of nature, best not to waste time worrying about them until you are the target.

the filing of the lawsuit shows a clear lack of understanding by those doing the suing, it will be thrown out almost immediately unless brought to a sympathetic judge, which is unlikely since they filed in the bay area.
