Man it's such a shame to see. And the recent botched release of the SD3 weights is just icing on this shitcake
Goddamn, seeing it all together like this doesn't paint Mostaque in a flattering light at all. I'm glad that we got open Stable Diffusion models out of his venture but it sounds like it was nothing more than a lucky fluke of mismanagement.

Under a picture with just one person it's kinda funny. Also what's with that dirty floor? Same as with his shoes in the other picture. Gross. That's lavish?
- Most of that just looks like carpet shading, where rubbing the carpet one way looks darker compared to rubbing it the other way. http://carpetswalltowall.com/shading-footprints-pooling/
  However, the brown stain on the far right definitely stands out.
- The floor is a carpet, and the shoes is harder to tell but might be a similar situation? Velvet maybe?
