Oh the big one would be models weights being released for anyone to use or fine tune themselves.

Sure, the safety people lost that battle for Stable diffusion and LLama. And because they lost, entire industries were created by startups that could now use models themselves, without it being locked behind someone else's AI.

But it wasn't guaranteed to go that way. Maybe the safetyists could have won.

I don't we'd be having our current AI revolution if facebook or SD weren't the first to release models, for anyone to use.
