据机器之心报道，知名人工智能艺术创作平台Midjourney近期采取严厉措施，封禁了Stability AI，理由是后者涉嫌恶意爬取数据，致Midjourney服务器瘫痪长达24小时。上周六凌晨，Midjourney的服务器遭受了一次重大攻击，攻击源头据称与Stability AI的数据收集工程师账户有关。这些账户被发现大量抓取提示词和图像，严重影响了Midjourney的服务运行。
在禁止相关账户并进行深入调查后，Midjourney的工作人员发现这些账户与Stable Diffusion团队的一位主要数据收集工程师的两张信用卡有关。基于这些发现，Midjourney决定暂时禁止所有Stability AI的员工使用其软件，直至事件得到进一步澄清。
然而，Stability AI的首席执行官Emad对此表示惊讶，并否认了数据爬取的指控。Emad声称他对这一事件并不知情，同时强调，令人困惑的是，两个账户怎么可能造成服务崩溃，而且我们并未抓取数据，我们一直使用的是合成数据和其他数据来训练我们的模型。
此次事件引发了业界对人工智能公司数据使用和安全性的关注，同时也暴露了两家公司在数据获取和使用上的潜在冲突。双方的具体纠纷和后续解决方案仍有待进一步的信息披露。

Title: “Midjourney Bans Stability AI, Accusing Data Scraping That Led to 24-Hour Server Crash”
Keywords: Midjourney, Stability AI, Data Dispute
News Content:
Midjourney, a renowned AI art creation platform, has recently taken severe action by banning Stability AI, alleging that the latter maliciously scraped data, causing a 24-hour service outage, according to reports from Machine之心.
Early Saturday morning, Midjourney’s servers suffered a significant attack, with the source reportedly linked to data collection engineer accounts belonging to Stability AI. These accounts were found to be extensively scraping prompts and images, severely impacting Midjourney’s service operations.
After blocking the implicated accounts and conducting an investigation, Midjourney staff discovered that two credit cards tied to a principal data collection engineer of the Stable Diffusion team were associated with these accounts. Based on these findings, Midjourney decided to temporarily bar all Stability AI employees from using its software until the matter is further clarified.
However, Emad, CEO of Stability AI, expressed surprise at the allegations and denied any data scraping. Emad claimed to be unaware of the incident and emphasized that it’s perplexing how two accounts could cause a service collapse, adding that they do not scrape data but instead use synthesized data and other sources for model training.
This incident has sparked industry concerns over AI companies’ data usage and security, while also highlighting potential conflicts between the two firms in data acquisition and utilization. Further details about the specific dispute and subsequent resolution are awaited.
