We’d be racists against robots. There’s always an out group. If not, capitalism cannot keep it’s hold.

- Comment on Nathan Fielder Created a Fake Singing Competition for ‘The Rehearsal.’ One Contestant Lost $10,000 and Feels Betrayed: ‘I Signed Up to Be a Singer, Not a Lab Rat’ 3 weeks ago:
She signed every contract, got an addendum to one she disagreed with. She owns the rights to all of her music. Knew out right that travel was not covered. Was paid her SAG rate once she was accepted into the show. And is upset at Fielder for “tricking” her even though she told every contestant it was fake during taping.
If she feels like she wasn’t properly compensated or treated, she needs to be upset with her manager and the studio execs. Nathan Fielder is lampooning the industry, not it’s actors and crew. She’s not the butt of the joke, the studio is. She’s just part of the vehicle in which the joke is told.

He is an executive. He’s often the head producer of his films and will direct the stunts.

Maybe something along the lines of
“These tariffs are expensive and need to be handled in a measured way. That doesn’t seem to be happening now. Since we don’t know what this administration is going to do from day to day in regards to tariffs, I don’t have an answer for you.”

The water isn’t drained. You sink the shaft past what you need to extract. Restabilization is why slave lives were so cheap. This was gulag work. Shafts would collapse all the time. It’s not a modern mining operation.

Do you work directly with any of these people? If so have a private conversation with who you work with directly about how you feel.
If you don’t work directly with them, just remember the only thing these people have in their mean little lives is a bullshit job nobody gives a shit about.
Your ego will never help you at work.

Think of the steamdeck. That’s Linux, it’ll play modern games on decent settings and it’s 3 year old hardware now. It’s not an optimized OS like a PS4 ( nearest analog in terms of performance specs) it’s a full linux desktop OS.

And others yes. It really depends on where you look and who you ask. I think Laion was the beginning of the end but some people say it was Google in 2010 or so

Some go even earlier. But I think wholesale theft started around 2020-2021 at scale.
Also I really do apologize for my tone earlier. I’ve given all of the beneficial doubt I can really.

There is no strawman I’m attacking. I’m addressing you directly. I’m not reforming or re-addressing your argument, I’m refuting it.
Your premise is flawed and as you state yourself it comes from a place of naivety as you don’t understand the tech. Which is fine, we don’t have to understand everything, but don’t cry foul when your premise is corrected in a public forum. I replied up the chain with what you could do and projects that are close to what you propose. I also gave you resources that you can go through to learn more if you have the interest.
But it doesn’t change the fact that maybe the greatest theft of artistic labor in our lifetimes has already happened and there’s very little independent artists can do about it.
- Comment on this is not satire this is not satire this is not satire 1 month ago:
You’re correct. Trolls love to hide in grey area naval gazing questions. My kneejerk reaction is to directly refute and shut it down. I definitely err on the side of asshole now though.
- Comment on this is not satire this is not satire this is not satire 1 month ago:
I haven’t looked into it too much
The closest thing to what you’re discussing is what’s built over at db0
However what you’re hypothesizing cannot exist, due to the nature of a diffusion model. The source that the images are generated from, all of that was stolen in 2021. It was illegally scraped.
AIHorde is moving in the right direction, but we need a system where the people who’s source work is being scraped need to either consent to the use of their artistic labor, through copy left practices. Or they deserve to be compensated through royalties.
In latestage capitalism the only power is that which lies within capitol. That has been stolen by the large AI companies. What you’re proposing through your hypotheticals is closing the barn door after the horses have got out.
That is the kind I’m talking about, so bringing up the systems I’m not talking about is just a strawman.
I’m actively refuting what you’re proposing because not only does it not exist, but it’s currently due to the nature of the tech it’s impossible. This is not a strawman argument, this is a refutation of a naive take that does nothing to push forward the tech in which you yourself would like it to go.
Sorry to be such a wet blanket. If you’d like to know more about Diffusion models and what they stole here’s a great place to start. systemicalternatives.org/…/the-controversy-of-ai-…
If you want to work towards what your hypotheticals state you could consider contributing to aihorde.net.
My response again is from the viewpoint of someone who is constantly refuting “Why don’t we just…” naval gazing and how trolls and other bad faith actors hide behind that type of language.

So it’s exploitive then.

- Comment on this is not satire this is not satire this is not satire 1 month ago:
Freedom relies on consent and mutual reciprocity, otherwise it’s exploitation. AI art diffusion models that scraped digital art portfolios and did not gain the consent of the artists nor did the artists get compensation is exploitation full stop. There is no freedom in exploitation.
- Comment on this is not satire this is not satire this is not satire 1 month ago:
The issue is the infrastructure and scale. Hundreds of thousands of these images are created every day.
I don’t know your workflow but it usually takes quite a few iterations before someone gets the image they want. It’s the literal definition of inefficiency because its rebuilding the diffusion every time, be that from cached memory or a new vector path.
