I’d like to request that adult containers be available to all regions. This would make stable diffusion jobs more widely available among others, as the content isn’t necessarily “mature” by default. Referring to the justification given in the FAQ regarding workloads, https://support.salad.com/article/326-workload-preferences
The content doesn’t even stay on our hardware once the job is complete.
If the issue is liability, let the user take the responsibility. Same as someone agreeing to a license agreement or a waiver. I agree that I will be held liable in the event of blah-blah-blah.
I understand the need to cover your bases but come on. Countries’ ISPs already filter content according to the regulations. Adding another filter onto that is unnecessary. For Pete’s sake, I can open stability.ai without the need for a VPN! You’re leaving available work on the table.
I a 100% agree, they add a disclaimer like “enable this option at your own risk depending on your local laws, Salad Technologies won’t be held responsible for any wrong usage”
The toggle was added both so Salad can avoid legal trouble in countries where those workloads aren’t legal, and for some users who morally don’t want to run those workloads. I feel like Salad would much rather stay safe and not risk being somehow liable for running adult content workloads on a user’s PC in a country where it’s illegal
To be honest, I still have a lot of fear about using this tool, no matter how much they assure me that it’s not a problem. Put yourself in the position of receiving a letter from the government about this kind of issue and having to justify that you have nothing to do with it. My suggestion: stay away from this type of workload to avoid any kind of trouble.
That’s the thing though I doubt there are many countries that illegalized such workloads specifically. It should be the user who makes the choice to allow it on their machines and not decided for them
