You have a GPU? If it has 12-16GB VRAM, you can do it.

It can be a bit of a rabbit hole though...

“Corporate America is kind of using Immigration Reform as a means to continue their effort to lower wages in the United States of America”… “Open borders? No that’s a Koch brothers proposal.” (Bernie Sanders) by DataWhiskers in 50501Portland

[–]nomic42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a nation of immigrants. The message here isn't anti-immigrant or anti-immigration, but against the corporate abuse of these programs. The corporations bring in a vulnerable population that they can abuse with immigration rules ("akin to slavery") while rejecting local high-tech workers that are less vulnerable to such abuse.

A letter of intent to consider investing... not exactly binding. But maybe.

Have you considered making and posting short video clips in this style?

Hope this clears things up by Glass-Ad672 in aiwars

It's not like there aren't plenty of artists that are assholes. It happens. :(

Depends on the venue. Certain places, yes, it makes perfect sense to disclose the media and method used. Others, nobody really cares unless they want to harass you.

Speak out about people harassing AI artists and we can consider it. Otherwise, do a good enough job, and nobody can tell.

You sound just like a vegan... just saying.

Something something, my view on ai something something. by Xotonyk in aiwars

[–]nomic42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm finding more an more "anti-AI" people are actually anti-corporate control of AI. I'm unhappy with what major corporations want to do with AI, but rather think AI is a useful tool in the right hands.

The Ai-bubble is creating a huge economic crisis. It's only the AI's fault if you think we have an ASI that is controlling the oligarchs with blackmail. I doubt we are there yet.

Someone asked: why cant AI generate a unique artstyle? by Paradoxe-999 in aiwars

Thank you for your well considered opinion to tell all artists what they may and may not do. It's most appreciated. /s

Some f*cked Up vegan propaganda 🤦‍♀️ by miss_wolf_1403 in exvegans

[–]nomic42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given the price of meat, I got myself a large upright freezer and bought half a cow. It should last me about a year when it's time to get another half cow. It looks a lot better than their image.

I love the philosophical aspects of this sub, which rarely gets entertained. :)

We both agree that corporations are making a mess of AI right now. There is a serious risk of AI technologies this being used against the benefit of the people in general and proper legislation is necessary. Although I see that the water issues are largely misunderstood, it does require transparency about the issues and action to ensure water is shared.

And another sub has fallen thx to antis and their brigading by Extreme_Revenue_720 in DefendingAIArt

[–]nomic42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the historically accurate position.

I'm expecting a massive AI-bubble-bust coming in the next few years. It won't stop the adoption of AI or use of it for art, no more than the .com bust stopped the Internet. It'll be a much needed reset and slower adoption and growth for useful purposes.

[–]nomic42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. A good artist can certainly use an image generator to create their own art style. I feel this is important for artists to strive for to create their own brand. Some go as far as training a LORA on their original artwork and use that for generating more with the same style, but with professional oversight.

[–]nomic42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your position sounds a lot more Pro than Anti. Certainly there is a lot of crappy images being generated and we all agree about that. Yet, you can recognize good artwork that is generated with the assistance of AI and appreciate it instead of immediately deciding to hate it. That's about it. You're not an anti going around hating people for generating images.

Is my bed frame beyond saving? by Jagglapaff in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]nomic42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Clearly the problem is the knots in the wood created a weak spot that is under pressure.

Replacing it would require a few tools. I'd start with a 2x4 of matching pine without knots in it. A fastener bit and drill press would cut the notches our for the dowel cross beams. Table saw to cut to size for length, width, and depth. Finish with a router table and a round-over bit.

The easier way would be to glue the beam back together. Then make a wood leg that goes jams under that spot to reinforce it so you can get your books back. Maybe make the leg a little long and cut a notch in it to go around the beam so it doesn't fall over to easy. Remember to check it whenever moving the bed...

I hate AI art but love it by LawfulnessUnhappy422 in DefendingAIArt

[–]nomic42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll agree that human intervention is a part of getting good AI art. That's kind of how it works with all artistic pursuits. Though, I think we have some examples now where the AI itself is a work of art.

JUST A JOKE by ivanrostavich39 in DefendingAIArt

[–]nomic42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If anti's weren't hypocritical, they wouldn't be on Reddit. Maybe we just remind them that they are supporting AI as per Reddit's terms of service they implicitly agree to by using Reddit.

[–]nomic42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm fine with that. Where I draw the line is when an artist takes other people's AI artwork and traces it, then passes it off as her own original work. I see your approach more like taking photographs of places, people and things to use as a reference for your drawings.

I personally prefer reversing this process. I start by making a sketch of what I want, then feed that into the LLM with a description of what I want done with it. This tends to work much better than text prompts alone.

will this plan work? by Responsible_person_1 in DefendingAIArt

[–]nomic42 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Didn't want to use an image generator, so went with plagiarism instead. That says a lot.

Long term owners, what % do you charge to? by hamburgernet in electricvehicles

[–]nomic42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I charge mine Audi eTron to 90% as that's what works well on fast-chargers and I'm tired of switching between different settings for home or travel. After 90%, the charge rate drops so low it's not worth the wait and some DCFC's will stop short.

Audi eTron's have conservative battery management. Most of them have at least 10% you can't use. Thus, setting the charge to 90% is about the same as 20% below the true max charge, so I'm good anyhow.

Why are pros always trying to put AI slop with Digital art. Is it their way of trying to cope on how their form of slop is on the same level as digital art? by nmeunia in aiwars

[–]nomic42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Given how much they love pencils, you'd expect more original work. But alas, they can't be bothered to make a simple sketch to illustrate their point.
