So the rasp Pi is very versatile. It won’t work as well for certain things but you can also hook things up to it that you wouldn’t be able to with a normal computer. It’s also tiny. That being said, I’d just spend a few bucks more and get a new one. Raspb pi 3 with 1g of ram is very slow.

I really thought the post was about creepy mannequins for a second.

There is no link and you should list them anyways. As it stands, this is click bait without the click.

Yup. Audio books aren’t very big once converted to a reasonable format and with the amount of space these days, I can comfortably keep a dozen on me at all times.

Blinken said the Biden administration’s policies “were basically supported by an overwhelming majority of Israelis after the trauma of October 7”.

Justified Genocide.

“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should”

I’ll be buying a Chinese car even if they aren’t cheaper. I’m sick and tired of western car companies and their games. They fought tooth and nail to try to stall the green transition and keep oil going for as long as they could.

I’m thoroughly disgusted by them. We could have had electric cars years ago, instead they buried it and then, when that didnt work, they tried to make it a luxury item.

Yes, especially with no face shots. That being said, I think it’s brutally competitive these days. You are probably better off checking the beer money reddit sub if you are having trouble making ends meet and can’t find a proper job.

Stricter laws restricting data collection would actually solve the problem but that will hurt the American propaganda machine just as much. China will diffuse it’s propaganda through our own social media like they clearly already do. They can literally buy the data from our own data brokers, it won’t even stop them from being effective.

1994 would mean this corolla is potentially 31, much too old for the average priest.

The kind that turns it into an other of microsofts pet toys.

I seriously suggest using the generator on civitai or to just spin up an instance of comfy ui or automatic1111 using something like runpod. This isn’t very good quality tbh.

I get it’s free as much as you want, but there are enough “paying” websites that give free daily gens that it isn’t really worth it. Runpod costs like 30 cents an hour to run with the lower cards. It kind of looks like perchance generates it’s images at a really low resolution from the image.

I understand the sentiment but there are very few technologies that didn’t need a disproportionate amount of research and development before seeing proper “net benefits”.

I don’t either hut the alternative is much worst in my opinion. It would mean the algorithms are so advanced they are predicting conversations instead of listening to them.

“Ted, none of the parents in this neighboorhood seem to be getting presents, is it because they already have such big houses and don’t need anything?”

“Nope, his name is on the notty list, let me Google him…oh, he’s a Healthcare ceo”

“Damn, should we even be giving his kid a gift?”

“Might as well. If we don’t, his dad will just blame immigrants anyways. We don’t need to poison the nepo kid even more.”

The radium paint one is particularly bad because they told the workers (mostly women) to give their brush a fine tip using their mouth.

If literal genocide wasn’t enough, I doubt this will be.

Reddit and newspapers selling their data preemptively has to do with LLMs. Can you clarify what scenario you are aiming for? It sounds like you want the courts to rule that AI companies need to ask each individual redditor if they can use his comments for training. I don’t see this happening personally.

Getty gives itself the right to license all photos uploaded and already trained a generative model on those btw.

They won’t need to, they will get it from Getty. All these websites have a ToS that make it very clear they can do whatever they want with what you upload. The courts will simply never side with the small time photographer who makes 50$ a month with his stock photos hosted on someone else’s website. The laws will be in favor of databrokers and the handful of big AI companies.

Anyone self hosting will simply not get a call. Journalists will keep the same salary while the newspaper’s owner gets a fat bonus. Even Reddit already sold it’s data for 60 million and none of that went anywhere but spezs coke fund.

If we can’t train on unlicensed data, there is no open-source scene. Even worse, AI stays but it becomes a monopoly in the hands of the few who can pay for the data.

Most of that data is owned and aggregated by entities such as record labels, Hollywood, Instagram, reddit, Getty, etc.

The field would still remain hyper competitive for artists and other trades that are affected by AI. It would only cause all the new AI based tools to be behind expensive censored subscription models owned by either Microsoft or Google.

I think forcing all models trained on unlicensed data to be open source is a great idea but actually rooting for civil lawsuits which essentially entail a huge broadening of copyright laws is simply foolhardy imo.
