Beryl Howell was #2 behind Chutkan in the "take no shit about J6" sweepstakes, so I have a soft spot for her.

I largely agree with her decision, but I feel like it's kind of screwing over all the actual human artists whose work was stolen and incorporated into their models without permission or payment.

I hope somebody whose art was released under the GPL can prove it was used in Stable Diffusion or ChatGPT and sues the fuck out of them.
