Why are you intentionally leaving out the rest of that sentence?
it’s apparently nevertheless a concern that some mods might be deemed offensive in a way that requires tighter controls on modding.
They are specifically talking about restricting modding.
This sounds like a load of corporate bullshit that they're going to use to justify preventing modding of their games.
Yeah, embedded systems for military applications is exactly the same as consumer software. You're right.
No amount of in-house testing is going to catch everything that can be experienced on a nearly-infinite amount of hardware/software configurations that are tested once a large userbase gets a hold of a product.
This is a terrible idea. What stops me from uploading a broken piece of shit fork that puts others at risk while I'm driving?

I don't get what your point is. Are you trying to generate images with Stable Diffusion and upload them to Shutterstock? Because that's the only situation when the thing you're complaining about applies. Nobody is stopping you from generating images and using them. What they are doing is preventing you from generating them and then trying to profit from them on the Shutterstock platform, unless you use their tools. Why is this an issue, in your opinion?
You can still think Disney is a shitty company while acknowledging that this is a stupid article/headline. They're not mutually exclusive.
You're not a business whose sole purpose is to sell/license images. If you read the article, it explains that their models are trained using only images from their library, which seems like a sensible approach to avoiding copyright issues.
Read the fucking article, man. It's not a stock image of a character, it's the spiral clock background.
