I'm glad they removed them, but it's kind of closing the barn doors after the horses have bolted at this point.

Complete failure of everyone involved that it was in there in the first place.
These datasets have billions of images in them (The Laion database have 5 billion images!). There is no way a human can go through them to check for bad content.
Then don't just use it? Or use a program? There a multiple ways to not do something stupid and none of them occurred to them because it is more important to them to be at the top of the shitpile.
The dataset sizes needed for machine learning rule out any kind of human verification. It's just not possible to manually check billions of images.
Oh, that makes it okay then.
How would you check 5 billion images?
Mu.
I wouldn't use a amount of images I couldn't check. I wouldn't use images from unchecked sources. I wouldn't make money from sexual exploited children.
And I think people that don't see the most obvious solution to that are fucked in the head.
That won't work. Models of this kind need billions of images or they are trash.
Great they removed them.... Did they report the images to the authorities?
If 2000 out of 5,000,000,000 images can be found, why couldn’t they be found before the dataset was published.
That's a question to be pondered for the ages.
