What the LILE

Fuck all intellectual property.

Monopoly on ideas is though police. Information that is not hidden for personal reasons should always be free.

All of human creativity is recycled from internal interpretations, interpretations from the real world that we live in that is increasingly blocked off with real punishment to conceptual crime.

I am not saying i understand it at all. My comment is genuine, not rhetorical.

On the contrary i express that i do not understand this to the point of deeming it strange or weird, triggering my curiosity.

I was hoping someone would chime in an explain how text generator techniques (which i do know alot about) known to have no capacity to use real world reason or logic can be used to help solve dna puzzles unless as a sub module of general machine learning. In which that later case would be within my understanding

And here i was thinking “what the hell were they thinking in 2006”

I can forgive the mute button, though it feels unnecessary but a dedicated “stop” button? why?

Machine learning sure, but an llm? For anything other then as a module to translate abstract data into words that just seem weird

We are on the same base,

I actually had a friend who jokingly mocked me for liking ai because i was initially very exited ablut Dall-E and ChatGPT 3.5

Back then i could only see the potential that it continues to have. OpenAI appeared to have altruistic goals and was a non profit. Trojan horse it turned out to be.

Had to make pretty clear to my friend that “ yes, but not like this, everything but this” about the current slop situation.

I should nuance,

For a person who already actively uses comfyui, knows how the different nodes work,

Makes complex flows with them,

Making their own checkpoints is not a big step up.

I have not gotten to this level myself yet, i am still learning how to properly using different and custom nodes, and yes

In the mean time yes, i experiment with public models that use stolen artwork. But i am not posting any of the results, its pure personal use practice.

I have already seen some stuff about making your own models/checkpoints, if i ever get happy enough with my skills to post it as art then having my own feels like a must. The main reason i haven’t is cause it does take a lot of time to prepare the training data.

People that don’t use their models while calling themselves artist are cheating themselves most of all.

If you download a checkpoint from non trustworthy sources definitely and that is the majority of people, but also the majority that does not use the technical tools that deep nor cares about actual art (mostly porn if the largest distributor of models civitai is a reference).

The technical tool that allow actual creativity is called comfyui, and this is open source. I have yet to see anything that is even comparable. Other creative tools (like the krita plugin) use it as a backend.

I am willing to believe that someone with a soul for art and complex flows would also make their own models, which naturally allows much more creativity and is not that hard to do.

That was a beautiful read.

But do i find myself conflicted about dismissing it as a potential technical skill all together.

I have seen comfy-ui workflows that are build in a very complex way, some have the canvas devided in different zones, each having its own prompts. Some have no prompts and extract concepts like composition or color values from other files.

I compare these with collage-art which also exists from pre existing material to create something new.

Such tools take practice, there are choices to be made, there is a creative process but its mostly technological knowledge so if its about such it would be right to call it a technical skill.

The sad reality however, is how easy it is to remove parts of that complexity “because its to hard” and barebones it to simple prompt to output. At which point all technical skill fades and it becomes no different from the online generators you find.

A psychiatrist might suggest “do not take more on your plate then you can handle”

Too broad and it will just be ignored as general activism. Even if rfk remains the message has more effect by being focused on their domain off expertise.

If we accept that the act of living is inherently a destructive action by our consumption of natural resources.

Then design production chains that try to meet local demand while transparently measuring and minimising actual loss.

We can open stores like this who in an early stage are for select groups like elderly and disabled. The total loss is just a reference number similar to national debt.

Using digital communications polling to measure actual demand to project production needs becomes simplified because potential clients don’t have to choose how to spend a limited currency.

As those production chains and new standards for how to measure loss expand so can we expand clients to include the people who work in such industries and eventually everyone.

Crucial is we don’t need an overnight revolution. This system can get its roots By co existing within current capitalism with the calculated loss simply measured as a financial debt.

The biggest hurdle is legalizing an industry that basically gets a blank free debt card that can be spend on input resources, while making sure they maintain transparent calculations and dedication to minimize planetary loss.

The irony is that self hosting in many ways has become way easier, faster and cheaper then using proprietary alternatives.

The catch is what you are already used to do.

A good example to illustrate this is is how easy it is to install software tools on linux using a package manager.

You get used to this so quickly that when i had to install something on windows i really struggled:

i have to find the right site to download from, run that installer, navigate menus, make sure it doesn’t come with bonus malware. And then when i finally run it turns out its a free demo and half the features are locked.

Comparing different plans for o365 and setting up a family with different accounts, again its a pain.

Spinning up a one click install nextcloud instance and getting that configured was peanuts in comparison.

*shaped like a cold scifi robot with a masculine resembling build

It looks so incapable of emotion why even bother giving it a head, a cushion will do.

We should make webapps for everything. When done properly they are as fast as native apps, can work on any device and do not require a dev license or account.

Uplifting in the most dystopian ways.

Can someone remind me, what is the bullshit reason they ban the Palestinian people from fishing in their own waters again?

Argo Tuulik was a minor shareholder and part of the coup of Ilmar Compos who ousted the original creators and inventors of the elysium universe using legal exploits.

Robert Kurvitz the actual creative force behind disco Elysium has been barred from telling stories of this own world because he no longer holds the copyright.

The people who are trying to sell this “successors” are the people who robbed us from learning more about this world.

“This type of frictionless experience has the potential to spark a new movement in”

Its like they have never used ai, these things are everything but frictionless.

The whole thing reads like an excuse to train on shopping data, promising to trow a bone to individual sellers so they wont complain as much.

There does also exist kinds of mania that comes with all the same downsides.

Some of my most depressing moments where expressed through positive joy. Nothing hurt more then people proclaim how much more they like me “this way”. Which i answered with a big dumb smile.

I can’t and won’t blame people for not seeing trough the mask, the point of masking is that they don’t see but considering those where my parents it hit deep that they where so easily fooled by a pure act.

I am autistic and like 60% of my watchtime is Minecraft smp.

I no longer have an account to proof my age, i download subscriptions using yt-dlp

I hope all the advanced science videos i am downloading somehow balance it out.

chuckles i am in line to get oppressed.

Ironically to this being a shitfest of a regime i have always loathed how elections are a popularity contest.

Good social and connecting skills can be important but they will never be more important than a healthy intelligence and a passion to simply do good, build a good society for all.
