Everyone's complaining about AI slop but what about SFM slop or asset flipping? The moment SFM became publically available YouTube and porn sites got flooded with low-effort SFM animation. Same with Unity and UE5's asset stores. AI art is the same thing but for illustrators and musicians.

Personally I hope clipart makes a comeback

>>27869
>there's a difference between using openly available assets and doing something interesing with them, versus trying to pass off said assets as your own work.
I was referring to the niche being severely overcrowded because it's easier to animate in SFM than in, say, Blender. And if you shove pretty-looking models into the scene without making sure it has decent lighting or that the models don't clip through each other people will still eat it up, kinda like how they eat up AI art with inconsistent clothing, bad anatomy and a bland art style.
>>27869
>The prompt is the art itself, and what the AI adds gives no further definition to the ideas being expressed.
Sure. Maybe AI can only replicate the slop aspect of SFM and stock assets.

>>27866 (me)
Tbf this video is kinda mean to CryZenX here, they're clearly using stock assets purely for testing purposes. Their newer videos are much more impressive, even if these demos are probably optimized like shit so I don't think Nintendo should indeed "hire this man" to work on the graphics, not with their inferior hardware. Although they do seem to have indeed hired "this man," judging by the new Pokemon releases.

The song is funni tho.

>>27868
it's a bit expensive atm, since all the 3D asset gen models arrived at the point where the AI space is quickly entering its "enclosure" phase, it's ironically not cost effective to asset flip with genAI assets lol

I've had a question for a while that I've wanted to ask leftists and I figure this is as good a place as any. I can think of only one thing the right and left could ultimately come together on, and that's when it comes to suppressed technologies or suppressed science.

I'm talking about things like free energy, cancer cures, anti gravity tech. Because, if this stuff were available to humanity you'd be able to have the Utopia you want without having to tax the rest of us to death in order to fund your socialist pipe dreams. Plus, don't you guys hate fat capitalists lining their pockets by fleecing everyone and profiting off of human misery (like the cancer industry does)?

Could we not agree that the people behind this sort of suppression need to die? I'd happily eat the rich if it's those fuckers. I'd happily set them off into the wilderness and give them a head start before hunting them down as trophies

Once ya get rid of capitalism, then any suppressed tech would get researched since they're no longer suppressed.

Cuba healthmogs every Western capitalist country despite being heavily embargoed.

>>27855
define suppressed. there are plenty of technologies that, while not actually censored, aren't put into practice because of things like planned obsolescence and enshittification, and ultimately, because while they are technically satisfactory for whatever purpose they were made, they aren't conductive towards profit

there is also technology that hasn't been discovered yet because of the same reasons. this is, the same trends that decides to ignore currently existing technology, is also in charge of allocating resources for research activities. so there are unknown technologies that may have been researched in a different context

this isn't about bad actors or anything like that, this is capitalism working as intended. as the progressive potential of capitalism shrinks, as it's capacity to incentivize and produce technological improvements decays, the classes that benefit from it will become increasingly reactionary and opposed to progress. this is a fact, but fake conspiracy theories like "free energy, cancer cures, anti gravity tech" end up discrediting a valid observation about capitalism

I know that there’s lots of face searching services where you can upload a photo of someone’s face and it will find social media profiles. What I am looking for however is some kind of ai or something where you can describe someone’s face and where they live and it will pull up possible matches. Does that even exist?

I'd like to know if the anons has any materials (zines, posts, videos, books, blogs) on how to doxx or track down the owners of nazi profiles on the internet. Lately, I've been receiving a wave of cyber attacks across various social media accounts and even my emails from these bastards. Is there any material on this? I want to root out this evil.

Thanks for the thread, anon. Do you know a good place to organize and take down this content and these profiles from the internet, along with doxxing these people? I was thinking of starting this right here on leftypol, but I'm not sure if I can pull it off. The bastard who's sending his 'minions' to attack my social media and emails is a Brazilian YouTuber who makes blatantly Nazi videos. I don't have any personal data on the internet that could reveal me, but it's infuriating to see the crap they promote and post. I have plenty of content, including his own face, to move forward with a doxxing, but I need help from more anons. Do you think I should open a thread about this? Here some images of the scumbag and his videos.

theirs like 150 posts, this isn't exactly helpful for looking for nazi profiles of stuff.

not sure how the hate speech laws are there
personally, i'd recommend cutting your losses and shutting down accounts that you dont need that much that serve as a vector of attack, private the ones that you kinda want to keep, switch email address, etc

Why doesn't tech have a dedicated AI thread, because the bubble is so mystifying at times, like why is nobody talking about the Nvidia anti-trust probe, they're worth like a trillion dollars and it's all because AMD keeps vacillating between fully backing drop-in CUDA replacements that are GPU agnostic and just… vanishing from the ML space entirely even though it's clearly where all the silicon valley money is going. What's going on, it's like some mafia shit because nobody can even agree on whether Nvidia's patents are legal or not, or why AMD chooses to get cucked out of a trillion smackaroonies

All you missed out on was a couple years of inflated FAGMAN salaries in a tiny high cost of living area. There are still fun developer jobs, and if anything you can get WFH at small companies a lot easier if that floats your boat. Programming is still fun.

I've honestly never met someone like this at work. They mostly haunt free software IRC, I'm not even sure they're employed. I do tease my trans friend that she'd be better off as a catgirl developer however.

trvthnvke, same for me, it's a myth started by transhumanist unemployed ""coders"" to cope with the difference between their desire to be and belief that they are good coders, and the objective truth of the objective reality, by associating their apparel with
Most of xem i see online work in You'll Never Be A Real Programmer(tm) languages, like Python, JS, some Rustranshumanists too.

>>18691
Great advice for the few Chads wishing to do compiled languages, but nowadays most is done in shiterpreted languages

>>25673
That's good advice if you want to write 20 lines in the language. OP mentionned he wants to be a software engineer, not a ""coder""" though. When you are engineering software, there is way more than just the syntax. You can't know the performance, ecosystem, use cases, job market situation, build system etc… from the syntax

>>18617
Learn C and Lisp. The former teaches you things about memory that most languages are unwilling to show you, the latter teaches you things about compilers that most languages aren't even remotely equipped to show you. If you can learn these two, you can learn basically any other language in existence.

>>25770
I know a good number of trans programmers in real life who do good work. The internet is not real life.

Hey everyone, let’s have a thoughtful discussion about artificial intelligence and whether it’s truly living up to the hype. While AI is being hailed as a game-changer in many industries, there’s an ongoing debate about whether it’s actually useful or if it’s just another shiny new technology that’s here to distract us.

- Are we starting to lose essential human skills as AI takes over tasks we once relied on ourselves?
- How do you foresee the increasing role of AI in shaping the future strategies and innovations of companies like NVIDIA and AMD in the development of computer hardware?
- How do you believe the rise of AI-driven automation will impact the roles of office workers and other knowledge workers in the coming years?

Sincerely, closed-source, LLM.

they are desperate to make something from AI, sticking it in other products because no one cares about subscribing to a soulless chatbot.

unsurprisingly the only people excited about it and who use it heavily tend to be people who writes fucktons of word document shit, general office vomit full of summaries and bullet points and highlighted sections that nobody has the attention span to read, so they hand it off to another AI to make a tl;dr 2 sec version of it.
Eating it's own shit and shitting it out over and over.

>>27316
Much of this is just to maintain decorum; however, a counter-movement in favor of brevity would be of interest.

AI is literally the last frontier of silicon valley hypergrowth, because every other delusional concept that promised 1000x returns, big data, quantum computing, Web3.0, metaverse, etc turned out to be gigantic flops, in that sense I do think it's a worrying signal how much they're trying to push this as a replacement for all intellectual work when it's obviously not. I don't think there will be a silicon valley after ChatGPT goes bust, even with Trump at the helm facilitating tech sector scams.

AI will be exclusively for meme games such as AI Minecraft. No game engine behind the curtains, just the literal hallucination of a robot, as all meme games should be from now on.

>>27381
>promised 1000x returns
Seems like many of these companies are somehow better at building markets than revenue. One would expect the opposite. There's just so much hope in the future of technology broadly driving investment. Not that that's really any different from what you've said.

Personally I think this is bullish, I would invest in TSLA NOW, the understanding that the CyberTruck could explode in an accident adds an element of danger to driving one that is irresistible to the female gender, think of fighter pilots, astronauts, race car drivers. People are going to be begging to pay twice the sticker price just to get some of that sexiness now.

Don't want to give money to capitalist but want to try it out? First download SillyTavern: https://github.com/SillyTavern/SillyTavern

Then create an account on Poe.com and follow the guide on SillyTavern to get the API key (just copy the value of the cookie)

Now download the png of the bot and import it on sillytavern, have fun.

And if you don't mind being unable to lewd the bots, you also have https://beta.character.ai/
