watch only in 4k this video will definitely surprise you ☺️ https://youtu.be/W4A-oGlkSh4

[brittle raft]

Yes.

Show was goated.

So were the toys.

[languid herald]

we had fun though 😄

[brittle raft]

Oh you better believe it.

Miss my jet... lost it in a fire.

All my Captain Power stuff.

[languid herald]

how are you maintaining the same model. real person?

[sick crystal]

sucks

[languid herald]

left you a message on your video. I did a sequence, with tons of overlays in video editing years ago to the matrix, with the music I created. https://youtu.be/Nvih6ny9xTs

[split temple]

Yah even this level of fidelity could be quite useful if it can get more morphy/combiney with concepts.

[fast oak]

im banned from the dalle 2 server 😎

[humble spear]

Someone told me not to look up rokos basilisk, and I dont get whats so bad about it???

i fogure its safe to ask here since we're "helping the ai" or whatever

but like also i guess disclaimer dont look it up if existential stuff messes with you? idk, i dont get it

[night bolt]

The alleged danger is from the notion that the more people know about the basilisk, the more likely it will exist in the future. So you knowing about it increases that likelihood by some amount, or something.

[main cedar]

It's also a moot point for most people here, lol

If such basilisk ever comes into existence, it would by definition have the ability to see the support for AI we've shown here and elsewhere

Also there's multiple logical issues with the entire concept, especially since the origin of the concept is from people who call themselves "rationalists", yet are scaring themselves over hypothetical situations that are improbable to say the least

[rugged surge]

with all the artists, services, and websites that are trying to demonize and outlaw AI like this, is there any counter-offensive or something arguing in favor for Stable diffusion?
edit: sorry, i mean with the ethical and copyright questions happening right now, I fear this tech may just be unfairly viewed like deepfakes for example. I know there are many people with an opinion that they dont prefer AI art and photographs as much as the reat of us

[main cedar]

How we now view all the people who said the same things about photography and film, etc.?

I don't see anyone paying for a painted family portrait or 1-hour development black and white photo, but I also don't see anyone saying "we would have been better off not developing modern photography"

Same goes for full photo studios for family portraits vs digital photography for them, a change I was actually alive for

demonizing only works short term, and then you're remembered for the rest of history as a fool for not getting on board, doesn't sound like a good deal to me

Now I don't take everyone against AI for a fool, and I support freedom of opinion, but there are places where AI use will die out and places where AI use will thrive

[fast oak]

Is there a way where I can get rid of something in a photo but makes it look natural

[magic kraken]

/rank

[ebon forge]

Rokos basilisk is just mumbo jumbo and nothing to take seriously. Its like those urban myths you hear when you are young.

[surreal heron]

look it up, then keep a dollar in a box, with the full intent of devolving it to Roko's basilisk's development should it ever happen. if it ever starts development, give the devs building it the dollar. no more problems

but yeah, it's all about airheads babbling to each other about hollywood-tier scifi stuff

relax

[humble spear]

Ah okay, yeah it seemed kinda silly when I was reading about it, I just didn’t understand why everyone is like “ oooooh scary thing that can do harm to you” and adds disclaimers? But it makes more sense if it’s an internet urban legend type deal, like slender man or whatever

[limber orbit]

Now that you know about it you are fucked if it ever happens, that's what people were warning you about but it's too late 😄

[drifting trail]

Is this ai?

[amber spoke]

[languid herald]

a little rant on hands, fingers, legs, arms and double heads. Isn't that just seriously annoying to you?

[keen raptor]

Thanks for the reply. On cable, but from experience even 1080p60 can be stuttery playback for me. Possibly a LAN bottleneck; it's a fairly dated (a/b/g?) router.

i was playing around with autoencoders on google quick draw dataset and i noticed something

when it was trained with crossentropyloss the lines were thick and doesnt really look like sketches

but using MSE seems to completely avoid this problem

anyone has any idea way of explaining this?

[radiant sable]

Ok thanks! I guess my confusion is regarding what this cooking process is. If 1.5 was already trained 3 weeks ago?

[white glen]

🤷‍♂️

[radiant sable]

We’ll find out soon I guess!

[fast oak]

he never said what it was for now. but I feel like you, must be something else if it still needs cooking ? so many tease !

[knotty plume]

sample

[novel fossil]

In MSE the influence of values less than 1 is reduced for eg 0.6² = 0.36
whereas that of above 1 is amplified

[autumn compass]

Im out of the loop, can somebody help me?

I have the 1.4 model, since it released. Is there an update?
or am i still up to date? thanks

dall-e becomes public

just found out

[keen raptor]

When I had similar wonderment about a gone-missing channel, I discovered that I had, apparently, inadvertently clicked one of the "channel group(?)" section headers. This partially collapsed the displayed list of items... maybe hiding any channels which now have zero unread messages. Anyways, repeatedly clicking the channel group headers brought the "missing" channel back into view for me. Hope this helps.

[keen raptor]

Is that really a different, separate, model... or is waifidiffusion just extra training applied atop the released stablediffusion model? I believe it is the latter (just extra training). I'm not disparaging their effort, just seeking confirmation for my understanding of "which end is UP".

[languid herald]

people are lonely, that's what SD is doing for people, helping with that loneliness.

Did you see these cats? Who is the artist?

[rose mulch]

How did they do this?

[languid herald]

inpainting is a train wreak, it's one thing that really needs help

[rose mulch]

It is an issue in a lot of A.I art. Even using Dall-E outpainting the other day I was really unimpressed with the results

[languid herald]

yet img2img if you do it right, works better than inpainting

[fast oak]

I really like the dall-e outpainting, the one on dreamstudio needs some work though, it doesn't seem to copy the image style too well

[hot crypt]

on one hand I was dissapointed with inpainting at times

on the other it makes me feel better about using photoshop haha

but inpainting is a nice tool to have when it does work

when it doesn't you just gotta find another way

[gaunt jasper]

What can it do?

that would actually be nice to have a model file for that

i'm not suprised

tbh good for them, i'm not into it at all but i'm all for sharing stuff people enjoy

[neat lichen]

I have a friend that will absolutely appreciate it

[little mason]

hi

I used to have Win+Shift+S keys for opening the screen snip tool

this hotkey has disabled itself somehow and I don't know how exactly

does anyone know how to re-enable it?

for this to become an issue there must be something wrong with Microsoft's guiding principles

like I got this problem suddenly, and I don't know why for sure

I spent 15 minutes googling, the problem isn't solved

for a basic level thing, this shouldn't be happening, thus there must be some issue in how stuff is sorted in windows

I'm sure there's a reason

but just not getting it to work

okay I got it to work,

apparently it was this "OMEN" service for gaming PCs that had decided disabling windows key is a good way to improve performance, or something like that

so actually it was an external software that had caused this

not windows changing it's on it's own

so whatever

was a waste of time but it's solved

Instagram

this for example, it has a comma after each hashtag and also dots as carriage returns?

[neat lichen]

so, Instagram users want to be found, right? so there's hashtags and then there's keywords. keywords are basically just text, but searchable text

well, that's unecessary what that person did

[fast oak]

oh ok

[neat lichen]

that serves no purpose

[fast oak]

so a keyword is any word in the description?

and a hashtag is like #stablediffusion

if you know any good ones, I dont wanna go overboard but I'd like to be found by a couple ppl

[neat lichen]

https://www.instagram.com/p/CjGtKwps1uX/

Let's take mine for example. I am still experimenting with it.

Right now it just has a simple caption (which could be better, but I don't really think people care about captions a lot rn), and hashtags. I could add the same hashtags as keywords, like this:

aiart, aiartists, aiartcommunity, promptart, promptartist, aigeneratedart

[fast oak]

nice thx

I might copy ur hashtags if u dont mind

btw why do ppl ask u to dm

[neat lichen]

so the theory is that your post will be more easily found, but I don't really know how true that is

I don't know many people using keywords, tbh

[neat lichen]

that's bots

[fast oak]

oh k

[neat lichen]

they want to grow their acc by posting other people's pictures

[fast oak]

like the same image

[fast oak]

I dont rly wanna do that, I dont think It'd work since its a duplicate instagram is gonna recognize it as such

with the bot problem they have I bet they analyze everything

I can do it with a different one though

hmm or actually I dont even wanna do that

Imma stick to having few hashtags and wait a couple days to see what happens

[neat lichen]

I doubt anything will happen, it's not like IG is gonna punish you for "stealing" hashtags. if they'd do that a lot more people would be in trouble

hey everyone! I’m currently building a federated learning platform and would really like to speak to people to get a deeper understanding of the main problems people are currently facing. Ideally looking to chat to people on either of (a) the demand side; e.g.. maybe you struggled gaining access to some sensitive data to train on, or (b) the supply side; e.g. maybe you spent loads of time negotiating NDAs etc in order to give a third party access to train on data you hold. The idea behind the platform I am building is that all of this back-and-forth process between data owners and data users (ML engineers) should be far far far easier, and more secure. If that’s something you’re interested in, and could spare 20 minutes this week to chat to me, I’d really appreciate your time! Thanks

[modest sandal]

What did they do

[muted rover]

That's the most boomer humor I've seen in a while

[vital ermine]

They totally changed how Colab works. Now with pro you get 100 compute units. That’s good for about 10 hours total use.

So it is now roughly 1/60th the offering it was.

The good news is that I got an A100 for the first time ever on Pro.

[languid herald]

would you say that AI imaging software is a want, not a need?

[modest sandal]

so only the paid tiers were fucked over?

[somber shuttle]

Not an SD question, but general Colab one: I want to run a notebook that has two different versions, TPU or GPU. I'm on free. All things being equal, is one better than the other // does Google maybe, say, consider TPU use less resource intensive than GPU, so I won't worry about any TPU compute I run affecting my SD GPU Colab compute time?

[limber yacht]

Availability of a free TPU may vary, even with light usage.

A certain tensorflow implementation might require 13.?GB of system RAM if used with a TPU.

[somber shuttle]

Iiiiiinteresting. I didn't even know what a TPU was until a few days ago (I probably still don't), so my assumptions are probably very misplaced here

[limber yacht]

a tpu can get 64 imgs done in a few mins

[spiral kelp]

I recently noticed that theres a bunch of ai generated paintings in a vr game called bonelab, found out whilest i was walking around in some of their levels, probably around 10 days ago. Its really nice seeing AI technology helping out game developers because having 25 differnet paintings would have either taken some money for copyright, and or a long time to produce.

[wheat dove]

Damn #💬｜general-chat is crowded

[fast oak]

this seems like a good replacement while it cools down, sorry for the situation.

[muted rover]

God, I knew it was going to hit the fan when I saw an every1 ping, lol

[fiery lodge]

I'm not in the market for more negative news around AI image generators

Hopefully things cool down and I can go back to having fun

And hopefully this doesn't discourage future open source model releases

I mean we haven't seen sd v1.5 weights released yet

[fast oak]

so which is better, potatoes or corn

[muted rover]

potatoes, you can make a lot more different dishes than with corn

[fast oak]

agreed

[muted rover]

even if you include making them into their respective flours

[fast oak]

though corn is pretty versatile

but yeah for starches and so on, i'd go potato all the way

[muted rover]

dream someday is to move more to the countryside and grow a bunch of our own stuff to cut down on costs. Potatoes are high on the list

[fast oak]

i'm gonna have me some goats

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkkNrOVGtnk

[fiery lodge]

Corn is tastier but potatoes provide more nutrition I think?

[fast oak]

so you're undecided or

you're acknowledging the innate superiority of the spud

[fiery lodge]

You know I guess it's a matter of how we quantify "better"

[fast oak]

sure, if that's how you want to play it, we could go into that, but i just want to know a sort of "show of hands" style job for who prefers what rather than an assessment of their (obviously mismatched) qualities

but i'm keen to see how people might represent their sides, regardless

[fiery lodge]

Then I would choose corn.

I don't need to worry about nutritional scarcity

I can just enjoy the sweet succulent kernels

And worry about tomorrow when I get there

[trim eagle]

can some of you nerds help me with my next PC build?

I have 1080, Maximus Viii Hero MB, Intel Skylake 6700k, 16gb ram (because CPU cooler blocks x1 slot), 750 G2 PSU.

Budget is not an issue but I'm worried about power consumption (only two plug sockets in room). Should I just upgrade to like a 3080 and hold on major upgrades until next gen?

[fast oak]

i mean, i have ethical problems with corn overall but that's quite a deep rabbit hole

but i can respect that choice, i think

for me, the spud represents more of a protean figure, but one noble enough to rest on its own with mere salt and pepper. plus, it is but one step from out of the ground into my fire's coals. whereas corn has a significant process to render it edible. not to mention growth cycles, since potatoes do require quite significant resources. looking at corn, as objectively as possible, it appears to me its hybridization is one with a very powerful cultural theme. the grains that became the cob was a wondrous process, though i cannot help but think it might just be the greatest instance of biological warfare mankind has ever known, what with the end result of the theft of its secrets of production, but also the annihilation of its creators. there has been revenge, in that sense, however, in the form of corn syrup, a true blight upon mankind. the amount of blood corn syrup has spilt, or rather, solidified, is astounding

whereas the potato has humble variants, like the sweet, or the russet, the cob has the flash of aesthetics in gemcorn, and the near inedibility of maize

anyone know what kind of flag wget might want in order to know a filename that isn't specified in the url? if I go to http://www.example.com/download (not a real url) then it will send me file abs-123.zip but if I pipe that url into wget, it dumps it into a file called download.. what flag makes it aware of the filename the browser gets? thanks

[fast oak]

i mean, i'd personally work with whatever you got for now and wait for nvidia to truck out some frankenstein 3070s/3080s with 16 and 24gb

[trim eagle]

is vRam the main metric when it comes to speed?

[fast oak]

no, i'd count things like cuda cores and the hertz and all that jazz first, but vram is more about capacity which is the real concern. more or less you're going to get diminishing efficiency returns what with the sort of wattage these puppies suck up

there's a lot to consider, but waiting is a solid plan, at least until nvidia releases the 40 series proper

[manic rover]

Ive started a small service that offers instances of Stable Diffusion for rental,
It is rentable in 15 minute intervals, at $ 0.625 per 15 min. (or $2.50 an hour).
After payment and at the scheduled time agreed, I will provide a link to a web UI where you can start generating images immediately.

The models / weights included by default are:
Stable Diffusion "sd-v1.4" ,
"GFPGANv1.4",
"LDSR".
I have also included:
"4x-AnimeSharp" (Anime and Text restoration),
"4x-UltraSharp" (upscaling / detail restoration),
"4x-UniScale_Restore" (Compression / noise removal)
And requests can be made to add more.

The rigs are all running RTX 3070's or 3060ti's with 8GB vram, and you will be the only user on it, so 40 sampling step images can be generated in about 7-10 seconds.
If you've ever wanted to mess around with AI image generation, but didn't have the hardware or time to set it up yourself, dm me!

[outer copper]

lmao

[white glen]

might want to do a bit of market research on your pricing

[idle solar]

I know that vast and shit you can rent for .30-.80 an hour, but nothing is setup for it, wasn't really able to find any kind of pricing for something that is fully setup already

[gentle pollen]

so I rebuilt my PC into a new case, now I have this old PC case I dont want
problem is, its so big and heavy that on eBay, shipping is like $50 !!
so now idk how I am gonna get rid of it, because a new case is like $120
what do you do with an old case? not a fan of other marketplaces like Craigslist or Facebook, eBay is just so convenient and easy
feels bad to just throw the case out cause its nice and perfectly useable

[slender lotus]

Put it in attic or give away, could even just leave it by the street with a note it is free. I'm sure there's someone nearby that can use

@lofty bolt Kicking Chemiz from subreddit mod of Reddit stablediffusion is as low as someone can get. He contributed so much in the beginning, and tried his best to give good light for SD.

Hi everyone, I'm new and I'll shoot my question and I hope someone can help me with it, when I create my work some renders are blurred, is there anyway I can get a proper result over those kind of results?

Whatever that means.

BEHOLD! A ROCK!

On someone!

seriously,though, anime girls are pushing the technology

[supple rock]

How big is the smut market

[covert sage]

I mean, furries are running the internet, so it stands to reason that anime girls power AI

[open ravine]

Vetinary you mean?

[pallid portal]

Well. I am a furry.

And I was, at least, fairly popular on FA. Not that I care.

[covert sage]

the money in NSFW comissions, especially if you're willing to get into furry / fetish stuff, is actually quite big even if you're a relatively average artist. It's a serious temptation for artists that want to be financially independent, but don't really want to draw NSFW stuff 😛

[hardy helm]

I just bought an Nvidia GPU for Stable Diffusion, upgraded my 970 to a 3080 ti. A used one off of facebook marketplace, but it was only used for a few months. Since 4090 is releasing tommorrow (I think?) I imagine there will be a ton of used 30-series cards for sale at good prices. Mine was less than half the original price so I'm very pleased.

I am looking for an attachment for a non-touchscreen laptop. it is a stylus that syncs with a sort of 4 corner clip that clips onto the screen, lining up with the edges of the pixels. using these reference points, it connects to the stylus, and knows where it is in relation to the screen. does anybody know if this exists?

the clip would look sort of like this, just upside down, and bigger

Just get a 3060 it’s got 12GB you can’t do EVERYTHING with it, but it’s far from paltry. I’ve been running invokeAI with mine and it’s pretty great.

[finite jasper]

That's a bit cringe, @fathom condor. Why would you even share it?

This is a stable diffusion server, where people talk and share AI stuff... And you come in here with 4chan level of offtopic.

[covert sage]

https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/

[finite jasper]

And yet the face's stayed there.

Your arguments to her are cringe, though. Family is a personal choice for everyone. So is the way they make a living, even if it's questionable. It's fine if you're really concerned about it to discuss it with her privately. Now you're just dragging your personal laundry to the public.
I just don't think that's cool.

My perception is you could've as easy removed her from your friends and lived your life in peace, instead of raging internally over her life choices.

Unless, you're obsessed.

Now you start sounding like one of the 4chan extremists...

When I want to worry about life not being fair, I go to appropriate places... I come here for Stable Diffusion. Even if offtopic, this shouldn't be politicized or made in to the battlefield of ideologies unless it's about the AI stuff.

Did you know that Stable Diffusion can generate images that would spiritually heal you? And it's all for free.

The psychedelic shroom keys?

Dude, it looks like you're the one who should peddle spiritual healing to people xD

[inner bloom]

you ok mate

is there such a thing as binary classifier to detect if music is present in an audio sample or not

[manic rover]

denoisers exist

[inner bloom]

its hilariously worse since this is so novel, you can ignore it on anything prior to today and anything after today with it can be targeted

[white gorge]

The anti AI community is so cringe lmao

[manic rover]

The one thing that I don’t ever see get mentioned by Twitter is that the large YouTubers, streamers or other content creators, using this tech and demonstrating it in videos. This technically spreads to to new eyes and therefore, new ai users

You can even argue that angry tweets that frame very specific ai’s in a negative light causes people to ‘go check it out’ because you’re actively showing good examples from it……

[left wave]

The Metaverse looks like a VR Nintendo 3DS, the future is now.

[white gorge]

[fast oak]

isnt that actually not THE metaverse. i thought i saw it posted on twitter a few times and people say its a clickbait headline

[prisma notch]

if the labels aren't obfuscated then this would just teach classifiers to be robust to adversarial noise

[main cedar]

I doubt THE metaverse will be much different

A VR metaverse is like a rave; people want to VRchat to get away from the normal capitalist/company grind

No one goes into video games thinking "oh boy this is going to be exactly like my normal life where I have to pay for everything I use, and I'm subject to all the restrictions of the company that owns what I buy"

Except maybe the Portal series, but that's for different reasons lmao

[neat lichen]

lol how did you get into this situation?

[elfin lion]

quick question:
is there a big ol' web filter solution, that blocks not domains, but the content types (that you label yourself)?

for example if you hate raccoons and label pages as raccoons they will be blocked

[elfin lion]

hello?

[neat lichen]

I don't think there's an easy solution to your question and I haven't seen anything like that. if you do a google search you could just use -racoons in the search

or -elephants

or whatever

[elfin lion]

well, think about it more broadly

let's say you hate vtubers and you are sitting on youtube, you want to block all the mentions of vtubers

same might go to the news sites, or any site really

[neat lichen]

I don't know if something like that exists

[elfin lion]

🤔

[formal rose]

.

[wind robin]

Blocking all vtubers? Really feels like one of these problems

https://xkcd.com/1425/

xkcd: Tasks

In the 60s, Marvin Minsky assigned a couple of undergrads to spend the summer programming a computer to use a camera to identify objects in a scene. He figured they'd have the problem solved by the end of the summer. Half a century later, we're still working on it.

[neat lichen]

yeah, on Youtube that's kinda like saying "never show me women"

they exist, they are everywhere

if you want to minimize your chances of seeing any vtubers, start a new youtube acc and only watch videos that are not made with a vtuber model or that talk about vtubing

chances are the algorithm will not show you any of that content, and if, you can still choose to ignore it

[elfin lion]

They still pop up via the algorithm

In other words, I want my content filtered

Content bubble, if you will

Hi there, apologies if I have posted this in the wrong chat,
My names Rory, I’m a final year design student based in Scotland. I’m in the process of writing a journalistic article based on AI image generation. I’ve been incredibly interested by Stable Diffusion for a while now and would love to chat to people in this community as a way of gathering first hand research on the topic of AI images. This will be a good opportunity to provide your opinion on various conversations surrounding AI image platforms in the wider world, as well as about the Stable Diffusion platform/community itself. As an aspiring designer I find the concept of AI images an incredibly interesting one, that has the potential to spark a very rich debate about the results of its utilization. I encourage anyone to reach out (through discord DM or email), regardless of experience, either for a quick chat or a more in-depth interview. As a student I unfortunately can’t afford to give any financial incentive for anyone’s time, but I hope the opportunity to provide opinions and have a discussion entices some of you. In the meantime, I’ll be looking to get involved more with the community and even post some images of my own. Any help will be greatly appreciated, hope to hear from some of you!
Email: [e-mail]
Cheers

[fast oak]

Hey and welcome around this part of Internet 🙂

I can’t believe that’s are people who are unironically using this “ai image” detector

How would you train an ai image detector? With a GAN right? ... which... also trains a strong AI image generator.

[sterile tinsel]

does it matter whether I put steps on the x or y axis in terms of speed?

[boreal ore]

not in terms of speed

[sterile tinsel]

it doesn't "restart" for each render, right? I mean, it renders at 60 steps, then adds 10 more, and renders again?

or will it render at 60 steps, then restart from 1 step to render 70 steps?

[boreal ore]

i actually do not know
i'd think it just keeps going

[sterile tinsel]

I'd hope so.... but I started thinking, since it renders left to right, maybe when it changes the CFG scale, is 'forgets' which step it had been on in the earlier CFG scale and restarts?

(1 piece of content = 10 beautiful images centered around 3 unrelated mystery words/concepts) See some examples in the trailer attached.

DM me for details!

Mods please let me know if this kind of post is not allowed!

[sterile dagger]

Does anyone else as they create art get feelings of their endeavors being worthless or meaningless? I've had these feelings for the longest time since I'm a creative soul; but the feelings are always there as I'm creating things. just me or anyone else?

[neat lichen]

I think that's a very normal feeling for artists. Not everyone, of course, but I think it's part of how we are never really satisfied in order to be able to grow. Like, someone may love your piece of art so incredibly much they will pay you for whatever you created - and you hate it so much you are ashamed to take money for it.

Same applies to how things we create will become meaningless, or obsolete. You may have wanted to capture something that is a feeling, or a memory, or torturing you, and once it's out you don't feel like it was worth the time

[sterile dagger]

well said. It's just the human condition, always looking for the next thing. "if I could only do this I'd be happy" "life will be better once I reach X goal". I'm trying to pin-point the reason why artists feel this. like what causes these feelings? Is it from society; the idea that art isn't a real job? Higher expectations of ones self? Maybe it's just those demons of self doubt?

Was redirected here to ask this: Maybe you guys could give me some perspective before I start jumping to unjustified conclusions. Jack Clark, previous policy director at OpenAI, is an advisor to congresswoman Eshoo through SeedAI. Is it worth asking if he had any influence in attempting to get Stability, a competitor to his previous company, categorized as dual-use technology?

@copper citrus I think it's up in the air how much we've evolved. Yes, compared to the 1500's, we are probably almost unchanged. In the 500's, it's more questionable. 10000 years back, there have to be some significant differences. There's also the Flynn-effect, but that's caused by nutrition, most likely.

Something really cool would be a (hopefully free) ML-based text-suggestion bot that's trained on my texts. I saw some premium text-suggestion software for coding.

I imagine something like that could speed up typing by a factor of 2x or more.

[rocky wind]

You mean like generating synopsis or plot treatments?

I've seen some mediocre attempts at AI generated fiction in a specifc genre style

[spice vigil]

github copilot but for authors 👀

Oh you mean like when you start typing a charcter name, you get a dropdown of all the ones in your novel 🙂

[spice vigil]

that would just be intellisense but for authors

copilot writes whole code blocks

lol, he's asking them to say fuck you to entire governments. easy to ask someone else to do it.

the hidden context here has been pretty plainly explained. govs don't want cp generators. simple as. not unreasonable

[hybrid mural]

IDK if its that simple, as many have said before, anyone can draw cp with a pen or tablet, so if SD is a tool like them, how are you going to stop that

Also starts with a good thing, preventing the gen of cp, good, and then govs go further - no genning of certain things they personally dont like
Always the way, every time

[limber orbit]

I wasn't aware of the post in the last part of the video, pretty interesting

[fast oak]

doesn't matter, i'm just saying why. and i think it's probably a lot harder to draw it by hand than to gen 23000 pictures in a few hours]

[hybrid mural]

While true, go browse furaffinity for a few minutes if you think so

[limber orbit]

No, he's asking them to stay true to their declared goals (to be "open")

[fast oak]

same thing

[hybrid mural]

Honestly the solution is what we're already doing, police the endpoints, not the tool

Artists can draw cp or people can use cameras to take pics of it, but we didnt lock away pens and pencils, or regulate cameras to self destruct if they potentially take bad pics

Instead everyone gets to continue using them normally, and the bad actors are caught at the endpoints when they share/upload etc

[limber orbit]

Listen from 38:05 and you'll see what he means

[fast oak]

i watched the whole video. my point is that because the governments are involved, and have obviously brought down some pressure, to ignore that would be defying entire governments

whatever notions of open source freedom still have to face that fact

[limber orbit]

But if govs won't allow them to release (the guy makes two good points related to GPT2 on this topic) how open can they say they are?

How do you imagine the censoring is going to work (say with perfect engineering, unlimited resources)?

[fast oak]

i don't know, but it obviously is happening as we speak

[limber orbit]

Do you blur every face? Remove "violent" images? What is going to be left after all this?

[hybrid mural]

Censoring never works and will always attack things beyond the initial good intention

[fast oak]

shrugs then it's a good thing we got what we did before it went tits up. i'm not so pessimistic about the next phase of SD

[hybrid mural]

If you are in countries with particular governments, no generating men or women in swimwear because its sinful
Or no generating left wing content, because currently the gov is right wing and doesnt like it

No? You dont imagine they'll be able to do that kinda thing?

[fast oak]

do what? censor the model? obviously they can and will

[hybrid mural]

The genie is kinda out of the bottle now as well tbh

[limber orbit]

Even innocent terms like "mouse on pizza" could be enough to expose you to blame if you start thinking like this, so you'll have to eliminate every brand depiction too in case someone generate iamges of a pizza hut pizza with a mouse on it, that's what he's talking about in the video and it's a good point imo

[fast oak]

the current iteration of the model is still limited to competent training and funding

[limber orbit]

"bearded man eating pork ribs", just generate enough of them* and you'll find someone looking like Khomeinei in the results, that's the kind of issues engineering cannot account for
* I understand that would require a lot of money to find the right image, what about in ten years when every gamer has 100k cuda cores and 100GB VRAM? That's why it's not too easy to dismiss this argument

[limber orbit]

For the moment it's the best thing they did imo (1.4 release which is a decent model on many fronts as well a a general one rather than a specialized one)

[hybrid mural]

Yh pretty much

I'm glad emad dropped it the way he did

And considering the situation, if they try censorship, don't be surprised if a future emad does the same thing with more powerful versions

[limber orbit]

But nobody has leaked GPT-3 afaik so maybe it won't happen (from what I've read you need a bunch of GPU to run it but again the cost is going down every year)

[noble cedar]

dropped wat

[hybrid mural]

Apropos of nothing, when you gripe about the mods, or think your corner of the internet would be cooler if you could do a bunch of edgy counterculture stuff, you're really just doing Old Internet Mistakes.
I was around when this happened to BBSes and IRC channels. I was around when this happened to SA. I watched Everything2 narrowly avoid it. It keeps happening over and over. So kids, gather around the campfire while we still have twitter and learn this lesson:

crazy ass moments in Something Awful history (@SA__moment)

I've mentioned GBS 2.0 in passing on this account as the event that I think "killed" Something Awful, but I also find it very important because it's an early rumbling of the kind of terminally online white male resentment that would eventually give us Gamergate and Trump.

Twitter · Nov 1, 2022, 11:32 PM

[noble cedar]

wats GBS 2.0

o

hmmmmm

i am too young to understand how GBS 2.0 killed SA

could u explain this part of SA lore

[main cedar]

To be fair that's not every kid nowadays, just the ones who grew up in a place where they could say anything they wanted to the other kids without getting punched by another kid or yelled at by a teacher

And to be honest, I don't care about children's literature having more mature content, I'd rather have the ultra sensitive parents kicked back out of education decisions

Like, I've seen what your kid acts like, I don't want you voting with the PTA about what to teach mine

If they can show holocaust documentaries in elementary school, they can leave a book about being gay in the library

Back in high school, there were some middle schoolers who were awful enough to agitate even the calmest high school seniors

I don't even want to know what their parents were like

And I'm sure they are the reason that job interviews have more questions every year, lol

[narrow stag]

It was the name of a subforum on Something Awful -- GBS was the original, and GBS2.0 was what happened when the locals were like "get rid of the mods, this place will be cool again"

The moral of the story isn't "more censorship = good", it's that the people advocating for actively tearing down all moderation usually have one very particular awful thing they want to remain unmoderated. Ye Olde Paradox of Tolerance.

[desert gorge]

what is it about you people that makes you want to expose children to your fetishes all the time?

why should parents be forced to pay taxes and then not have a say in whether their children get groomed

[main cedar]

Might have found one

[desert gorge]

parents want their kids to learn language, math, science. That's what they expect teachers to be doing.

and considering they're footing the bill, there's nothing wrong with letting them have a say in the material

[main cedar]

Let's take a step back to that groomed part. Does knowing that gay people exist equal grooming to you?

[desert gorge]

didnt the book you reference have sexually explicit content?

[main cedar]

I didn't reference a book

[desert gorge]

here

[main cedar]

That was not in reference to a specific book

[desert gorge]

ah, I thought it was about that ban that outraged Twitter last month

forgot the name

[main cedar]

I mean I don't support the banning of any books

If you think you have your child's best interests at heart, surely you can convince them what books they should read without censorship as a crutch

You can move a book from the elementary school to the high school without banning it

[desert gorge]

and how do you control what happens at school? You know, where they spend the majority of their day, outside your immediate supervision, being taught God knows what. Because the typical crowd also got angry when parents tried to force schools to share their syllabus ahead of teaching it, calling THAT a form of censorship.

and that's fine, if your parents agreed

[winter moon]

public schools not bad depending on where you are and they might even get MORE opportunities if they go public k12 source i taught high school

beliiieeeve me

i wouldn't mind

look

its not bad for the kids

its horrible for the teachers

honestly

[blazing adder]

you would not want to.

[winter moon]

the kids are pretty overtested and they needs more sleep, we know this

oh Texas opted out of common core

so i dealt with another form of bureaucratic nightmare

[main cedar]

My parents were dumber collectively than any single member of the PTA. I don't want those kind of people to have any say in education any more than the normal education system

I've was homeschooled in the states and regularly see many public schoolers around my age at work and it's depressing to see that most of them can't even read a clock.

[winter moon]

believe me its not 1984 it's more Pineapple Express

[main cedar]

Especially because there's also the issue of parents who don't have nearly as much education as the teachers, or don't understand not everyone is Christian or that there's a legal separation of church and state

[winter moon]

oh i doubt most people i graduated with could name the second president. but are they successful as hell cause they worked hard in school as first gens? yup. and what did that? the public school system baybee

💪

Means vs ends

[desert gorge]

there are exceptions, perhaps...but in general I think the average parent is a better moral guide. They might not master the actual material, eg advanced calculus, but they will know better the guidelines that should guide what material is taught. Because they truly care about their children's wellbeing, something you can't say certainly about paid mercenaries.

[main cedar]

Are we still talking about US parents?

[blazing adder]

I mean I can't name the second president right off the top of my head (guessing sam adams). but it's more in the area of the general quality of reasoning that sticks out to me.

[winter moon]

without the public school system there'd be no UT branch in my town which lifted an entire generation out of poverty. public school did that baybee

[desert gorge]

can't speak for all of America but sure, why not

[main cedar]

Because if so you give their intelligence way too much credit

[winter moon]

hahahaha

[winter moon]

disclaimer: American education needs dramatic overhauls. my point's that there are amazing institutions here that exist solely because people in powerful positions went "we can transform this entire neglected entire with one university on uncle sam's tab cause we'll all benefit obv"

[blazing adder]

pretty much. I don't have much experience with public schools, but I'm currently in the predicament of navigating the college landscape.

[desert gorge]

Depends on your definition of intelligence. Someone being a pure math genius does not make him a better fit to decide on children's upbringing than the average parent. Nor does someone who spent 4 years in uni, that's just a measure of education. It's no different from saying "this person has 4 years of plumbing experience"

[winter moon]

im not sending my kids anywhere with a uniform. i literally care about that right after whether the schools public or not and how the teachers are treated

[desert gorge]

just because they teach teaching at uni, doesnt mean what they teach is 100% correct or best for children

[desert gorge]

in my native country public schools have uniforms and it's a great equalizer for rich/poor children

strengthens esprit de corps

[winter moon]

i fought a dress code and won before i am not dealing with that BS ever again in my life

[winter moon]

Commonwealth?

[desert gorge]

no, Middle East. I know all of Asia is like this too.

[narrow stag]

just because they teach teaching at uni, doesnt mean what they teach is 100% correct or best for children
But surely if they study the process of educating kids -- if they are experts in how to educate -- they're more qualified to figure out how to teach? And probably also have some background in, say, curriculum design?

[main cedar]

The teachers not only have degrees and qualifications, but they want to be there and they've taken everything from the teaching degrees to sexual assault courses required by the state, while some parents are literally literally only parents because they forgot a condom and their religion prevents them from birth control

[blazing adder]

If you're concerned enough about your kids' education to talk about it with us. I would highly suggest looking into whether or not homeschooling them would work out for you. I've heard that private schools here in the states are much better then government schools, but I've also heard that they've got some of the same drawbacks also.

[winter moon]

its funny the influences american education has, no uniforms for the most part except for the religious schools, but still strict dress codes in public schools. what culture even is that

[desert gorge]

damn, was nowhere near that expensive where I come from. More like $100 for 2x uniforms. But this was 15 years ago.

[winter moon]

Absolutely not homeschooling, this i also feel so so so strongly about

[main cedar]

My parents never failed to remind me this with tales about how I was supposed to be the opposite gender

[winter moon]

Every friend I have who was homeschooled either regrets it or like, they live a life I personally myself dont find fulfilling and wouldn't want to intentionally guide my kids toward that

[blazing adder]

I've been homeschooled for over a decade. socialization isn't much of a problem as long as there's some form of a group in the area

[narrow stag]

A lot of US homeschooling has become de facto weird fundamentalist schooling -- the religious right in the US have worked to make easy "packages" that parents can order online that include Everything Your Kid Needs. There's also a lot of really good homeschooling! But across the Mountain West in particular, "I homeschool my kid" is code for "I believe Jesus is going to nuke Israel in a few years and I want my children ready to help"

[desert gorge]

It's "qualifications" in the same way doing a 4 year business degree qualifies you to run a business, which is "not much". You revere degrees a bit too much. I dont respect anything that's not a medical degree/pure science.

[winter moon]

I'm only saying this because I literally am one: people in like, hispanic border towns still for the most part get p mad at their kids for messing up in school. the culture here is very "if you get caught, you messed up bad, sorry."

[narrow stag]

The practice is different from the theory, sure. But you seem to be dismissing out of hand what four years of formal study adds to one's ability to practice.

[winter moon]

many wont punish at home if they're "punished" at school though which i mean... it's all relative... i dont think that'll spoil a kid lol

yea

[desert gorge]

There's a lot of secular Americans who are embracing homeschooling. It's not just about religion, it's also about your kid not being taught to hate themselves for the color of their skin, for their gender, or being exposed to age-inappropriate sexual content at age 8.

[blazing adder]

There are plenty of resources both religious and secular, but my personal experience with them is that the more extreme or nonfunctioning ones are thrown out through communication with other homeschoolers.

[narrow stag]

not being taught to hate themselves for the color of their skin, for their gender, or being exposed to age-inappropriate sexual content at age 8.
I assure you this is far far less common than anyone has led you to believe

[winter moon]

this

[winter moon]

this is very very much the reality nowadays

[main cedar]

I'm actually trying to make the opposite argument. I'm focusing on the same thing as you: being a parent is not a recognized medical degree/pure science form

[desert gorge]

so when parents push back why are they pilloried as bigots in mainstream and social media? Evidently, the powers that be WANT that content taught to kids and wish to crush dissent.

[blazing adder]

I'm getting lost here with two conversations at once in here.

[winter moon]

Homeschools are like 95% religious cultists. Friend still can't shake a ton of shame and brainwashing from that time

as for the number i mean, thats... like i wouldnt be surprised.

its almost the whole market.

the secular market is established but not huge

actually could be 50/50 im going off data from like, a 2016 workshop

[desert gorge]

the people obsessed with teaching kids about weird sexuality are also a cult

[winter moon]

with my union, who I loved, because I'm pro union and think unions are good, right fellas?

[blazing adder]

how'd we go from homeschooling to whether or not labor unions are good?

[winter moon]

class solidarity?

[winter moon]

because i say so

jk

[narrow stag]

You're asking me to address all the generalities, but broadly speaking: it's typically because one particular parent wants to set the entire district's curriculum based on their own personal values. And that's not how public schools work. The values taught in public classrooms are our national values, which are broadly inclusive. There's a vanishingly small problem with people teaching "weird sexuality" in public schools, and most of that is because "weird sexuality" is a nebulous term that some folks wish to define back into the 1950s, and others wish to open up.

[winter moon]

vocal minority complaining about a non-issue the real issue i promise parents is not... whatever that is. im in texas. i could go to oklahoma. colorado. i wouldnt find that stuff. but i'd find dozens of cases of illegal mis-administration 1,000%

Look at your administrators and school board members please the teachers are basically paperpushers who get to teach kids face to face as a treat

[blazing adder]

can I lay something down?

Probably the utmost reason why you would homeschool is to teach your kids inside the mental framework you want them to be taught in and to teach them morality in the way you want them to think.

It doesn't matter if it's secular or religious. However there are more religious based teaching materials because of the larger majority of religious parents wanting to teach their kids.

[winter moon]

the very idea that teachers have that much freedom in 2022 is incredible to me. simply outrageous lol

in america.

people will joke about how their junior year history teacher was the soccer coach who'd fall asleep during WWII movies he'd show in class and then be like "why is my kid reading Huckleberry Finn?"

[desert gorge]

your nation doesn't on average think having a drag queen (a caricature of female sexuality) read to their 8yos is a good thing. I know this is an extreme example, there's not many drag queens reading. but these readings are the values of sheltered academics (almost always with no kids of their own), not the average person.

[blazing adder]

I read it in high school.

[winter moon]

not objectively

no

[blazing adder]

ok,

[winter moon]

i know some who owe me money but

that's another issue

[narrow stag]

these readings are the values of sheltered academics (almost always with no kids of their own), not the average person.
I ... what? Who convinced you that drag queens in school are The Real Problem? Seriously, who told you that is the hill you should die on? What a nothingburger.

[blazing adder]

if you want or don't want your kids taught X in US schools, then pull em out

[winter moon]

"average person"

lol

[desert gorge]

I'm using that as an example of difference in values between "the nation" and academics. The person I was responding to was saying that it was the nation's inclusive values to invite those drag queens.

[winter moon]

wake me up when an american describes themselves or their job as "average"

[blazing adder]

agreed

[desert gorge]

people's empathy has been abused and weaponized against them

[winter moon]

TFW the empathy puts me on a vent

[desert gorge]

so now people are fighting back

[blazing adder]

mmmmm. Talk about the nature of society. my favorite.

[winter moon]

lol let people come up with their lil words

[narrow stag]

(spoiler: the people who are "fighting back" against being asked to demonstrate some empathy are bigots.)

[blazing adder]

empaths as in very emotional people? or another definition yall using?

[desert gorge]

You won't make me teach my 8yo son about gay sex in the name of empathy. The best you'll get out of me is basic tolerance. My empathy was abused to push things that I do not think were in society's benefit. I was one of those people scolding others, I used to say (repeat dogma) gay people were just like everyone else and they want to be left alone. And here we are 15 years later, you look at their parades and movies, and it's not quite what "everyone else" does, is it?

"or let schoolteachers teach it" :)

[winter moon]

Texan students take sex ed in 5th grade and then again in 8th grade and have for decades

[narrow stag]

You know what a Jeremiad is? They've been around since the time of Jeremiah. They start out, VERILY, the youths in this era, they are wastrels... and go from there. They've been around since the time of Jeremiah, non-stop, and yet now we've got running water, indoor plumbing, modern medicine, and the world's knowledge on a shining rectangle in our pockets.

[winter moon]

You can opt out of it

I don't get the problem

?

im not saying all of what you said is true

because it's not

there are plain lies in that message

[narrow stag]

And here we are 15 years later, you look at their parades and movies, and it's not quite what "everyone else" does, is it?
Yeah, no, it's fine and fun and good actually, what's your issue with folks having a good time?

[blazing adder]

..... I played with my "chum." as a small kid, and didn't hear about gay anything until well into my teens.

the Isiah.

[narrow stag]

I'm just saying you're pontificating a lot about how today is worse than yesterday, but historically it's a losing bet

Just my opinion! I might be reading you wrong

[desert gorge]

Look at popular heterosexual romantic drama. Like The Notebook is just a pure love story. THen you take the biggest homosexual romantic drama, Call Me By Your Name. The guy ejaculates in a peach, and his lover eats it.

[blazing adder]

people think yesterday was better and that today is the most important part of history in every single generation.

[winter moon]

Bro I couldn't convince my assistant principals to let a city commissioner give a speech to my students because they thought I was being too political. She's nonpartistan and in a nonpartisan position. This is the average experience. I promise you lol. As someone who was a literal teacher

[blazing adder]

no. it's not.

[desert gorge]

It's stuff like this over and over. That's why I no longer believe we are the same.

and I'll make sure my kids are as old as possiblew before being exposed to such content, to make sure their brain doesnt get warped

[winter moon]

imagine if alan turing read this thread

[narrow stag]

Okay, I'm looking at both of those movies. Fine films, both of them. The Notebook is a little paint-by-numbers and derivative, but I'll allow it.

[narrow stag]

Oh! Is someone showing that specific film to schoolkids?

[blazing adder]

ok, do we want this conversation to go somewhere? or is it just venting via discord time?

[winter moon]

errday

[narrow stag]

Eh, it's off topic who says it needs to go anywhere? Mods probably tickled pink that there's some engagement. And largely civil at that!

[desert gorge]

I certainly hope not. that was in reply to this message by you, but it took me a while to find the movie name #🌶｜off-topic message

Have a good time in the privacy of your bedroom but please stay away from kids

and don't push your culture on them

certainly not mine

[blazing adder]

yea. just trying to organize things a bit if we want to get much outta this converation, but if people just want let off steam like now then that's also fine.

[winter moon]

Excuse me?

Stay away from your kids because.....?

[blazing adder]

aight.

[winter moon]

Yeah man cool it

[desert gorge]

allright I'll go back to SD

[blazing adder]

time out for a moment. yall
First, what are we talking about?
and secondly where is everyone coming from background wise?

[winter moon]

what was the movie where channig tatum went back to school with jonah hill

[narrow stag]

I'll be good too. I promise I won't show any kids The Notebook.

[winter moon]

american education and channings tatum (plural)

[blazing adder]

you're Channings Tatum?

ah

nvm

[winter moon]

noo but i think that would be interesting.

funny guy

[blazing adder]

you've got a website bio in your descripion

mk

[winter moon]

say it louder

channing eats pbj sandwiches with cheetos in the sandwich

oh that's chill engage in orgs and stuff and socialize and you'll be goolldeennn

good luck

CS related?

[desert gorge]

21 Jump Street (also 22)

[winter moon]

also lift if you haven't started already, i was puny and was like "ion wanna be puny" and i got swole and it's a constant reminder dedication has long term payoffs lmao

[blazing adder]

so you're a teacher in brownsville?

[winter moon]

Used to be

Website needs tense change

[blazing adder]

ah

so that's where most of the public school experince comes from I guess?

[winter moon]

yes and i also worked in an austin area public school, similar SES

[blazing adder]

nice

[winter moon]

it's rewarding but the admin relies on that to make up for lack of beyond breakeven pay

[blazing adder]

hmmm.

[winter moon]

[blazing adder]

oh

that's interesting

[winter moon]

look local

when you go fine grain you can find outliers easier

[blazing adder]

outliers of what? economic trends or outlying people?

[winter moon]

some extreme side effects of — and forgive the vulgarity — "economic tumult"

[blazing adder]

ah. ok.

I am wondering.

hmmmmmm

oh well

[bold glen]

lol

[main cedar]

Two of those look suspiciously like Danny Devito

[main cedar]

What did I miss?

Apparently it was a lot

[winter moon]

in community college? i dont know i went to a 4-year

[main cedar]

I did/am doing both

Save money doing the gen-eds at community, finish at the 4-year

[winter moon]

I did dual enrollment in high school

both a good and bad choice

[main cedar]

I just came back from reading one of my papers to my gf

[winter moon]

omg how did that go

[main cedar]

2 professors and counting gave me the greenlight for Stable Diffusion in assignments

[blazing adder]

nice

[winter moon]

nice

[main cedar]

It was a 5-page paper on the concept of humanity and lies and truth as compared and contrasted between two philosophers

I only know of a few other students in the class who weren't struggling with it

I think it went extremely well

[blazing adder]

was it two philosophers specifically? or just two that you pick?

[winter moon]

🤜 🤛

[main cedar]

Well I certainly wouldn't have picked Nietzsche given that he had his life to write it and I had two weeks-ish

Lol

Yeah, they were pre-picked

Also is there a full moon tonight? Most interesting spread of conversations I've seen in a while here, lol

[blazing adder]

full moon's a week away

[main cedar]

Must be a post-Halloween thing then

[blazing adder]

maybe

[main cedar]

Halloween was great

One professor even gave out candy

[blazing adder]

did yall go trick or treating around the offices?

[main cedar]

No, but the dorm trick-or-treating went on I think

[blazing adder]

ah

[main cedar]

Next year I'm hoping it's warm enough for a sexy nurse costume

[blazing adder]

nice

[main cedar]

Always great to wear something like that to the gym and then workout in it with no music, doing chin-ups with a 20-pound chain on my neck

[blazing adder]

I don't normally dress up or anything for halloween, but my brother had a great idea for haloween that I mighta taken up if he suggested it earlier.

[main cedar]

I should dress up as a butler and do that, maybe bring a novel with a fake "how to murder" book jacket

[blazing adder]

He suggested that we or make something that looks like high BSL level hasmat suits and pretend that we were at the houses we knock on to quarantine them.

[main cedar]

That sounds amazing lmao

I had a similar idea where exactly one of the people is just wearing his/her shirt over their nose

[blazing adder]

We came up with BSL-4 gear lookalike because of a book we read a few years ago about ebola and people working with extreme viruses

[livid pendant]

Anyone watch that funny conversation in #💬｜general-chat

[blazing adder]

which one?

[livid pendant]

What are the general thoughts on sharing prompts?

Where the yanky guy got pissed off cuz r4 denied him i guess

[main cedar]

Absolutely positively don't do it.
jk, jk

[blazing adder]

eh. I don't really care too much but I also don't make a living off anything in digital assets.

[main cedar]

If you don't want to share everything, just find a healthy balance

[blazing adder]

personal choice in my opinion.

[main cedar]

It benefits you as an artist: keeping everything to yourself is a bad habit that leads to less publicity

Speaking from experience

[livid pendant]

What does that mean?

[main cedar]

The more you share and the more open you are about how you do stuff, the more it circulates around

[livid pendant]

Depends.

The term used earlier, trade secret, makes sense.

Companies protect their intellectual data all the time.

Why can't individuals do it?

[main cedar]

I'm not gonna judge someone who doesn't share prompts, but I'm also not gonna ask them for prompts, or expect anything from them I can't buy, which limits my business with them

[livid pendant]

Exactly.

[main cedar]

Even sharing one prompt would change that

Doesn't need to be one that reveals a prompt trade secret

[livid pendant]

If I tell you things I have figured out spending my hard time working on things, there goes my edge

Why should someone benefit from my effort and I don't?

I can tell you how to do something but I can't spoonfeed my textual prompts

[main cedar]

If they look to you for advice and guidance, and you live in their memory as a helpful figure worth their time, then you both get benefit out of that

I don't ever support spec work though

[livid pendant]

Like r4 is in my memory.

[blazing adder]

it's a debate between whether or not the sale/distribution of the item means that others can derive from it or change it.

[main cedar]

But like, tutorials and such

[livid pendant]

Those two guys hassled him a lot today and picked on him

That guy has been one of the most helpful, I checked logs and he's nothing but helpful, kind, loving, polite, psychedelic hippy old man.

I love guys like that

Reminds me of my godfather

old hippy dude

[blazing adder]

?

[livid pendant]

I felt bad for him.

[main cedar]

Exactly, you don't have to share prompts to be helpful, it's one of many methods

[livid pendant]

Exactly. He is super helpful all the time, and today he denied to share prompt and those guys really made a huge deal out of it.

I am not posting ever any art or anything. I don't want people asking me and if I say no, them coming after me. I'm scared of that.

And the mods didn't do anything about that public abuse so I saw it first hand and I'm not gonna let that happen to me.

I'm not sharing a damn thing.

[main cedar]

I post periodically, I just have multiple professional commitments that come first

[blazing adder]

hmmmmm

[main cedar]

But I certainly don't judge others who don't want to

[livid pendant]

I mean not just prompts.

I will not even share my art.

Opens you up to vuln.

People ask oh how you did this, and if you say, I don't wanna tell you, you get abused.

[main cedar]

The same way I wouldn't judge anyone for not wanting to solve my question about Q4Wine linux OS Nvidia GPU with NMKD's GUI

[livid pendant]

You guys seem pretty alright.

Not everyone is like that. Some people thrive off hassling others, making fun, causing psychological distress.

[blazing adder]

haha. I've actually been having a time with Nvidia wayland.

[livid pendant]

And they're here on this server too I witnessed today. That's why I don't socialize online much

So that's why, but I am making stuff in SD

It's cool.

[main cedar]

I'm a bit more lax about that, because as I mentioned earlier, I frequent the gym, the bags (trying to get some new MMA stuff at the college), and I know deep down in my heart that anything anyone says to me is not something they would ever say IRL

[blazing adder]

Just the way of the internet.

[main cedar]

I once had an entire room tell me to shut up for no good reason, didn't even get an eyebrow raise lol, just a smile

[main cedar]

Sounds stressful

[livid pendant]

I'm 175 lbs, muscle, practice BJJ, giant beard, big guy, tats all over.

IRL people think twice before approaching me

I like it that way. Peaceful.

[blazing adder]

It is. Manjaro was pissing me off so I'm ploughing through the Arch Wiki installation guide when I get the spare time.

[livid pendant]

Online, even the wimpiest kid pretends to be tough.

That Tolerant Pancake person is one of the most obnoxious and offputting people I have ever seen on this server.

And he's only been here a few hours.

That's a record.

This is the problem with Internet.

I can close my house door, and it's peaceful.

But if you open the door to the Internet, that's like opening wid eyour front door

[main cedar]

141, lean muscle, street fighting (especially disarming people of weapons), and a little bit of boxing and MMA. Unfortunately I can't say the same about peacefulness, as I usually get singled out for being loud and weird without any psychological diagnosis or disability to excuse it lol

[livid pendant]

and allowing any joe to come and say anything to you

[blazing adder]

only solution I've found so far with internet communication is to actively socialize with the people you talk to in person frequently.

[main cedar]

At some point I gave up all the crap from my childhood and now maintain the disarm thing as a cool little party trick
