? Why would it no longer be possible?
Stability has exactly zero way of updating the weights once they have made them public. Is the suggestion that this was only possible on 1.4 and 1.5 and XL don't have the issue?
...or somehow what the model was previously capable of doing is now no longer possible?
That seems like enormously unsubstantiated speculation.
We have proof from multiple independent studies that these models in general memorize a small percentage of their training data to the degree that reasonable reconstructions of the original training images can be recovered from the model.
There is, to my knowledge, no mitigation of this that has been implemented, or even conceptualized by either stability or anyone else.
Interesting read regarding the actual ruling the judge made, but this is some "opinion here" commentary, which seem out of place; what the court actually rules is the interesting part of this.
