Tesseract is very much different from Proton by now however

That’s not true: https://github.com/db0/pictrs-safety & https://github.com/db0/fedi-safety

https://github.com/db0/fedi-safety can scan images pre and post upload for you for CSAM, including novel GenAI ones. If you need pre-scanning, you will also need to run this service https://github.com/db0/pictrs-safety along with your instance. Both of these need a budget GPU to do the scans, but you can use your home PC.

Let’s build an app to liberate communications but only release it inside a closed garden. Great idea

We’re not against GenAI as a tech. We’re against corporate GenAI though.

That attention is the dying embers of the torch he took to his career

This is such bullshit. Models have already consumed all available data and have nothing left to consume, whole needing exponentially more data for progressive advancements

You need yo block the alibaba subnets primarily. In my experience this is where most of them originate

Not gonna argue with you mate, I know we disagree fundamentally on what the fediverse means. Me and most others never will see eye to eye with you with your capitalist growth-focused approach.

Network effects are incredibly strong. Xitter is now a disinformation and fascist hellhole, and yet people who should know better still refuse to leave. We have the advantage that we’re not growth focused, so we can can bide our time. The inevitable enshittification will do its job eventually, but there’s no telling when the tipping point will happen.

I’m not OK with any business practices of AAA studios, and I don’t think there’s a way for them to get enough educated consent for creations (i.e. not just someone accepting a shitty TOS on deviantart 6 years ago) to make a good GenAI model. But if I were to put aside the first part and assume a magical reality where the second could manifest without coercion and lies, I would theoretically be OK with it as long as that model passed to the commons when the works it was trained on did as well.

Complete overreaction, but I agree that commercial games should not be using GenAI art. If you’re making money out of selling your game, then don’t use something which abused to commons to do so. If you’re making a FOSS game, I don’t see a problem with it.

clearly they want their comedian skill to be supported by an image of sort

it seems to me they got that.

Don’t listen to the haters, keep exploring your creativity. If you feel like drawing, go for it. if not, or you don’t have enough time, use whatever tool you want instead. I would only caution on getting too attached to proprietary tools like OpenAI.

The author is exploring their comedian skills, not their drawing skills.

I’m not close to burnout but thanks for the concern. I don’t run my instance like lemm.ee does for a reason ;)

Unfortunately that philosophy led them to close down their instance due to burnout, so maybe it’s not exactly a winning one 😅

If we get pwned, or otherwise compromised, one cannot tie your username to an email. The same reason the OP doesn’t want to provide an email I guess.

We require a valid email for registration as an anti-spam measure, but you can garble the email afterwards.

Israel’s element of surprise was enhanced by Iranian officials’ apparent assumption that Israel wouldn’t attack while talks over its rapidly advancing nuclear program were ongoing with the U.S.
