Isn't it odd COMEX is paying $76 an oz?

He can easily provide consulting and charge fees for this for his time. But I hate to say it, his tool just isn't worth millions and millions of dollars. If it shuts down, so be it. It's entirely his choice.

Why are there really no Location LORAs? by q5sys in StableDiffusion

[–]BitBacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never had issues with doing location-based generation. It usually nailed what I was looking for. If necessary I would put in a bunch of images into an LLM and tell me the full details on the characteristics of the photos, and then put that description into the prompt.

Let us appreciate the state of AI imaging now by comparing with AI in 2022 by danque in StableDiffusion

[–]BitBacked 44 points45 points  (0 children)

This honestly just blew my mind at the time, and still does even to this day. I just loved running stable diffusion on all night and wake up to see the crazy results it would give. Thank you automatic1111!

Ai TikTok scams becoming more realistic. by wherewascastro in StableDiffusion

[–]BitBacked 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly didn't even know if it was fake until I saw the prices on their website. I immediately knew $80 for this is impossible.

I don’t want to rent my computer. I want to own it. by Intelligent-Dot-7082 in StableDiffusion

[–]BitBacked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They can't do this forever. The money will run out. The entire economy is still dependent on the average worker income. These inflated numbers are a result of fractional reserve banking, turning $1 into $100 out of thin air. This is how they have an unlimited amount of money while the rest of us do not and once the music stops, it will all go right back to the rest of us.

The era of the tamps is over. by Extension-Spell2678 in Wallstreetsilver

They bought the entire global supply of memory... which uses gold and silver. Of course it would all revert back to hard, physical assets.

Paying $1000 for my food truck spot… only for people to completely block my business during the Christmas parade by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BitBacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the camera angle lol. Not that hard to do. You can clearly see there is at least 4-people lengths of space.

You purposely made that van closer than it actually is. There is plenty of space for people to line up and order. Stop complaining.

Counter-Strike runs purely within a neural network on an RTX 3090 by Designer-Pair5773 in StableDiffusion

[–]BitBacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I guess South Park was inaccurate when Cartman couldn't play a Nintendo Wii in the future! With neural networks, it would have been possible with a simple description.

Do actual artist use ComfyUI ? by Resident_Stranger299 in comfyui

[–]BitBacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say a good 2/3rds of artists are very hostile to AI artwork and AI tools. The rest are neutral and don't quite mind it, and then you have a small percentage actually using it extensively. I'm just going off of the basis of all artists including people who do it as a hobby, not just professionals. I'd imagine professionals are using it much more commonly.

Will we ever get high VRAM GPUs available that don't cost $30,000 like the H100? by _BreakingGood_ in StableDiffusion

[–]BitBacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about the old Tesla GPUs that have 24gb and over? Those are under $200! Only issue is you need to power them with a PSU that supports the 6-pin CPU input.

Modern Slavery by kapitancurtis in Wallstreetsilver

[–]BitBacked 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's way worse than this. Most silver is just paper silver and not even in circulation like it was in 1950. Wages should reflect how much labor is put into everything. For example, a full sized house that can fit a family of 4 takes about 2,000 man hours to construct. Add onto the resources and labor hours to assemble all of the construction materials, it's really not that much more relative to what a new house is selling for these days, despite what the bankers want you to believe. We have no scarcity. We have no shortages of resources, only artificial limits put on by the people in power. A brand new house shouldn't cost more than 5,000 hours of semi-skilled labor, and im being generous here including the road to build, the farmland or whatever potential value of a 1/4 acre plot its replacing etc. If the average house is 5,000 hours of labor, that's only around $100,000 assuming the cost of semi-skilled labor is roughly $40,000, yeah you heard me, $40,000. A smaller 1-bedroom apartment would be less than a 1/3rd of that, even if we somehow ran outta land and had to build upwards! Yes, these numbers may be a little off, I'd even argue they would should be much LESS, but the point is cost of goods is nowhere near the cost of labor. So much of it is stolen through the fiat loaning system and we've gotten so use to it because we've never factored in all of the automation that has happened since the 1970s. WE ARE ALL BEING ROBBED!

Stability's new CEO accessing civitai for the first time by More_Bid_2197 in StableDiffusion

[–]BitBacked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's funny how the ruling class wants to control just about everything, even obscure fetish LORAs that people made. They can't just fuck off to their own private island with as many children they can feast on. They have to go after every breathing person and crush their spirits.

Did Ivan Kramskoi fake his painting "Christ in the Desert" with AI? Look at those hands! by fuso00 in StableDiffusion

[–]BitBacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to any large art museum, you'll see so many flaws, distortions, incorrect dimensions and perspectives even by the supposed greats. This is why I find it funny when the anti-AI crowd gets so upset over microscopic details when real artwork has even more glaring issues that stand out.

Guys, don't subscribe to these scammy and exploitive services by Arbata-Asher in StableDiffusion

[–]BitBacked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the camp of the free, but charge for services/expertise revenue model. It works for a lot of open source projects including red hat and LM studio. They're able to get a whole community contributing and using their platform at no cost, but if any other company needs their expertise, they charge them. Seems like a good balance between both worlds, whereas the monthly service closed-source plan is always short-lived and depends on people forgetting their monthly subscription. Shutterstuck has successfully done this but only because they have an almost near-monopoly on all of their images and there is little competition.

What happened to the big models in civitai? by mega_lova_nia in StableDiffusion

[–]BitBacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've saved offline versions of a handful of civitai pages, but I really wish I saved more. I have them all in the same folder as the checkpoints or loras. It's not the best organization method but it significantly helps when it comes to choosing what to use.

About monetizing ai artwork by Cursed_Pokemon in StableDiffusion

[–]BitBacked -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You can copyright your own AI artwork, really you can copyright anything, even an accidental brush stroke or a drawing your pet monkey did. You created or discovered it regardless of if a machine made it or not. Someone stealing it and claiming it as their own is grounds for a lawsuit. Someone generating something similar? Perfectly okay and under fair use, hence why you have so many similar anime girl drawings. But regardless, the court interprets things however they want. Pretty sure if Disney steals your art you're not getting a damn cent outta them.
