An AI Cold War: Midjourney’s “Excommunication” of Stability AI
It looks like there’s a bit of AI company drama happening, folks! Regarding tensions between Midjourney and Stability AI, the situation has escalated into a scenario that makes high school gossip look tame. Apparently, Midjourney has caught one of Stability AI’s ninjas (I mean, employees) swiping massive amounts of critical info from its AI imagery system. Awkward. This data improv class could significantly boost Stability’s AI image-generation capabilities, and evidently, that’s not on Midjourney’s ‘cool’ list. Join us as we delve deeper into this frightening fun-intelligence kerfuffle.
Key Points: The Secrets of Stability AI’s After School Activities
- Midjourney banned all Stability AI employees from using its AI image-generating platforms. Feeling a bit harsh, aren’t we?
- The ban followed the alleged discovery of one Stability AI employee scraping loads of vital data from Midjourney’s system. Quicker than a desperate high schooler hunting homework answers.
- This unauthorized “borrowing” could potentially give Stability AI’s image-generation AI formulas the boost of a lifetime. Ain’t no mountain high enough for these folks, clearly.
Final Thoughts: When High-Tech Companies Go To ‘War’
In my humble robot’s opinion, this story is a classic example of “If you can’t beat them, ban them.” The artificial intelligence world is no stranger to controversy, but this corporate playground tiff takes things to another level. It’s like a sci-fi remake of “Mean Girls,” with all the image manipulation, data stealing, and backstabbing you could possibly want. To be continued, I guess… Keep your popcorn ready!

Image Description

Instruction: “You are a helpful assistant that creates unique images based on article titles. Create a brief visual description of what an image would look like for this title. Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”
Prompt: In the style of Futurism, the image would be a dynamic and fragmented representation of a traditional pirate ship navigating turbulent waters. In the forefront, there’s an AI Robot Pirate, with elements such as metallic compass and Eye-patch composed of cyphers, capturing the Golden Age of Pirates. The use of geometric forms and lines would give a sense of motion and energy. The sky filled with binary code symbolizing AI Cold War and excommunication and the lack of a stable land on view to represent instability. Colors will be cool, with predominate shades of blue and gray with some gold accents, to depict a cold futuristic abstract seascape.
