Anecdotally, I agree with the conclusions the researchers propose. From an academic perspective, this study is poorly done, with an abstract that fails to fully encapsulate their findings.

While this is a topic that is very important and deserves the attention,people shouldn’t be mislead into taking this paper at face value.

Many comments haven’t touched on one obvious outcome. Even if Sama and OpenAI stick to their words here, who’s saying that other actors in the space now or in the future will follow suit? Surely OpenAI doesn’t think that if AGI is achieved, that they’ll be the only ones in control of one. No matter how not-open they are (lol), others will always catch up, and in a shorter time than it took OpenAI to originally reach that point.

All things considered, they just shouldn’t. But as all humans do, they will.

There are a number of reasons why on-device deployment of Stable Diffusion in an app is preferable to a server-based approach. First, the privacy of the end user is protected because any data the user provided as input to the model stays on the user's device. Second, after initial download, users don’t require an internet connection to use the model. Finally, locally deploying this model enables developers to reduce or eliminate their server-related costs.
