I think back to when I first discovered the scanner at my parents work and how I would print pages of my face squished against the glass. First thing I would have done at the shoe store is stick my head under it and ask someone to look. I bet it happened regularly.

I just saw that picture yesterday from Iran of a bunch of black body bags in a room and I really thought it was about that for a second.

Bruh, stable diffusion was trained on billions of images, with their owners spanning the globe. My work has about 300 employees all living in one city and it still take a few seperate teams with multiple people each to handle it.
You’re simply an idiot if you think it isn’t a nightmare imo. Think before you speak please.
Take a napkin and do some math on how much you think each image is worth and what kind of budget a company would need to put out a model. Ignore the logistics completely.
Google doesn’t mind paying that price because they can recoup it with the monopoly it gives them. You guys are basically begging for a handful of companies to have it all, begging for walled gardens. Legit bootlicking.

I’m saying they stopped owning it the moment they put it on the big websites and signed away their work by clicking the box at the end of the ToS.
I see two choices:
-
Scrapping isn’t considered theft and we all get easy access to these new tools.
-
It’s considered theft and the new tools end up behind censored subscription models while shutter stock makes a shit load of money.
Paying every artists what they are worth is a logistical nightmare because of the amount of data needed. It simply won’t happen and isn’t a realistic scenario. It sucks but sticking your head in the sand and giving a soft monopoly to google and openai doesn’t help anyone but google and openai.

No DeviantArt, Shutterstock, instagram and company are the juggernauts. Artists already gave it all away.
There isn’t a scenario where individual artists get a piece of that money. Legislation, if it comes, will protect data aggregators, record companies and Hollywood, with the aim of killing open source.
Google paid 60$ million for Reddit’s data and I still haven’t received my dollar. Google would also love it if training a model costs so much only they could afford to build one.

I do include ethics in my decisions. My ethics simply aren’t dictated by copyright juggernauts.
- Comment on "Not A Single Pixel" Of The New Ecco Game Will Be Generated By AI, Insists Series Creator 1 week ago:
I’m mostly thinking of indie devs and how it can let small teams do more. I think some of these tools are a real boon to the industry, it’s quickly becoming trivial to included animated cut scenes for example. I think the human and inventive part can still shine with competent devs.
I’m not advocating for shovelware here or games that are 90% AI, but a lot of teams that can’t afford certain dedicated positions would probably benefit from using it in some parts of their game.
If it isn’t noticable and gives us a better game, I’m more than willing to ignore the copyright companies constant wailing.

I got high off my first redbull, no joke. I wasn’t expecting it to do anything, I just thought it was coffee. Only time in my life I could move my eyes independently from each other. Some of the stuff they put in that can really affect you. Never had anything like that happen except the first time, so I’m guessing it’s a rare occurrence that your body quickly builds a tolerance to if it does happen.
Maybe it was placebo but it wasn’t like we were teens “experimenting” or something, I was with my family and wasn’t looking to get high or thinking of it. I had soft drinks and coffee before, so I’m guessing it was something else in there. Idk.

I’d suggest taking a look at what roll20 has to offer if you want to play virtually with your friends.
If the rasp Pi is too much (per your other comment), you might have fun with a few esp32s and some basic sensors if you want to get into the embedded electronic space. The entry price is lower then the rasp.

Transformers, turok and mecha Godzilla come to mind. Not post apocalyptic per say but saying Sony own robo dinos in a post apocalyptic future sounds fool hardy.
This is in no way good for us, the consumers. If it was Nintendo doing it, everyone be would be livid.

I’d give it less credence if it wasn’t for Altman trying to buy the wafers themselves.
- Comment on Is the RAM prices explosion another manufactured crisis to corps drain money from people before the AI bubble collapses? 1 month ago:
Certain companies are buying up all the stock because it stops individuals from building their own AI capable rig and forces them and businesses into subscription models.
They are using copyright laws in the same way and lobbying so building new models legally costs millions of dollars and open sourcing stop being viable.
The biggest threat to the AI bubble is people running the same services out of their home for a fraction of the price with open source alternatives.

This concept pops up in permutation city by Greg Egan. I don’t want to spoil it, it’s a great book.
- Comment on Anon has a wholesome thought 1 month ago:
Serfdom was two steps away from slavery. You didn’t own the house, you couldn’t sell it or even leave. Your payment for work was a piece of land you could use for subsistence farming. It differs from place to place obviously but it was much worse then “regulations say no pets”.

Text wise, there is no way to tell anymore unless the bot fucks up, which happens rarely.
Image wise, I doubt someone has an automatic pipeline where a bot generates pictures on it’s own and posts them. What you are seeing are real people using AI to make their memes, or people who are enthusiastic about AI reposting pictures they find. Nothing wrong with that.
There’s also posting bots, which should be labeled as such but I guess most people don’t. It’s just a way to bring content in, I don’t really see a problem with this.
And there’s vote manipulation obviously.
All that to say that the first and last one are the only problematic ones since it’s used to manipulate and sway opinions. But there isn’t anything we can do the moment someone is mildly smart about it and uses a proxy service. Llms are simply too good at making themselves look like regular commenters. We could ask for ID for every user and cross reference with the help of governments to make sure it’s a real one, or have heavy and intense captchas, but who wants to do that?

Access like internet and cellphone signal? If that’s happening, it probably means my little town is about to turn into a movie plot line and I am getting the fuck out of dodge.

- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 2 months ago:
A remove HUD options. I’d also like it if they put a big warning in the graphics section explaining how higher graphics can affect the game.
I see a lot of people bitching about lag, but if my shit connection and potato PC can run the game on low, I’m pretty sure the complainers need to reduce their expectations, accept that they don’t have a top of the line computer anymore and bring down their settings.

I tend to clutch the remote when stressed. It’s highly frustrating when I’m in the middle of an intense gunfight and suddenly my character tries to melee. Having to push on a thumb stick while doing other actions with my fingers makes my hand sore as well.

It seems like it started before 4chan. 4chan probably amplified it and helped spread it though. All the bad things either start there, or it’s users violently clutch and hang on to it until it seems like it started there.
That is were I heard it first though so you are right in calling me out. It’s been a while, longer then just a decade ago thankfully, but I spent a bit of my teen years on there. It really feels shameful to admit. Overall, just a gross place.
