>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

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

>if you have le magic tech then things will work out

>>27855
>cancer cures
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

>>27858

>The benefit is less law enforcement heat because of less ransomware operators using their services.
law enforcement (or even intelligence agencies) can't investigate every single account using the service, the only thing that matters is that
plus, don't you think that using a service that is more popular draws less heat to (You) individually?
>if I recall correctly Riseup deployed end to end encryption after their 2016 gag order (not sure)
there is no difference to the user if their PGP encrypted messages are stored in plain text or encrypted, you shouldn't trust your security to a third party if you can avoid it
>But riseup users are not using the service for whatever you do. It's an activist platform, not for whatever you are trying to hide.
full disk encryption works just as well for me as it does to a criminal, same goes for PGP, Tor and understanding how e-mail works
>When requestion/using a riseup email, you are stating that you are an activist for social change, because that what the service was created for.
which is adding unneeded risk to you being rekt for no reason
the real reason people gravitate to riseup is because of the "lefty" and "le activist" aesthetic, people don't want to use the stinky service that serves optional [email protected] aliases lol
BUT, from a purely functional perspective, cock.li is objectively superior to riseup when it comes to protecting your privacy, if you're serious about security i'm sure you'll understand why it's preferable to lock your door with an ugly key rather than keep it open
>"Do not trade, sell, publicly give away, or publicly offer invites to people you don’t know." Again, it's in their ToS, as it's supposed to be shared face to face with people you trust.
the cock.li TOS is "don't do crime" and they won't ever know you're committing crime since the e-mails are encrypted, and if for any reason you're banned you can just register another account with 0 repercussions
riseup is notorious for doing shit like this where they ban the account + the people who invited them httpPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>the only thing that matters is that
the only thing that matters is that communication through cock.li is objectively more secure than riseup

>>27788
>don't you think that using a service that is more popular draws less heat to (You) individually?
Absolutely not.
German law enforcement requested the totality of Riseup donators infos to the payment processor back in 2017.
Cockli is under 'attack' because they are big and popular.
Windows get more CVE per year because they are more popular

>there is no difference to the user if their PGP encrypted messages are stored in plain text or encrypted, you shouldn't trust your security to a third party if you can avoid it
I agree
But why are you saying "the cock.li TOS is "don't do crime" and they won't ever know you're committing crime since the e-mails are encrypted" in the same post lmao?
They both do. You should use GPG on both.

>BUT, from a purely functional perspective, cock.li is objectively superior to riseup when it comes to protecting your privacy, if you're serious about security i'm sure you'll understand why it's preferable to lock your door with an ugly key rather than keep it open
Again, I don't think you understand who's using riseup. Hint: Not internet schizos who think the CIA will target them specifically like 99% of cockli users (the other 1% are doing cybercrime or CSAM)

>cock.li is being threatened with closure by glowies
<riseup continues to operate with absolutely no pressure from the powers that be
this was supposed to be a dig at cock.li? if riseup actually threatened them like cock.li they wouldn't be this comfortable, plus the fact that they want to crack down on cock.li shows that it's a service that serves your privacy well, otherwise they would attempt to infiltrate and subvert rather than shut down
i rest my case

>>27803
They are not threatening Cockli with closure. Vince wants to close it if they try anything. Not the same thing.
It's understandable but some people would prefer to keep being reachable as it wont change anything for them (GPG use + metadata being already spied on anyway) and they may need it as it's their only mean of communication with some people (like a journalist and his source, just for example).
And it may not even be true at all, for all we know maybe Vince is just trying to grab a few $. I hope not but it's a possibility.

>riseup continues to operate with absolutely no pressure from the powers that be
They were under 2 FBI gag orders a few years ago. Idk but that's some pressure.
Now they have onions, end to end encryption (irrc) and still push people to use GPG and keep ransomware operator at bay with their invite only system, that may explain why they have less pressure.

Again, please stop acting like you don't understand that. I think, I hope (as you said you work in infosec), you are just -acting- stupid.

I like the idea. Are you properly handling anti-XSS sanitization? Also: if you keep all CSS and JS in separate files you can set a very strict Content Security Policy https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CSP which is a very strong defense against XSS. Upstream we've been looking into making vichan compatible with it, but it will take a lot of work

>>27452
>Are you properly handling anti-XSS sanitization?
Will certainly need to look into this, it seems like it might be very helpful. There is a very trivial XSS as the WYSIWG editor outputs HTML into an input form, and this is used without escaping by the application this was not the case in the imageboard which had standard vichan formatting and did HTML escaping.

>>27452
>Content Security Policy
This reminds me of the OpenBSD pledge some, and seems like a good idea. There is apparently middleware support for my AGSI https://github.com/tmotagam/Secweb too.

Yesterday added a "start end" sort option to the search view. Got a few more small things done on this project today. Namely added a search bar, filter based on importance, fixed a bug that was causing all the match statements matching an enum.Enum in the program to default to the first entry, and some other minor bug fixes. This was most of the open tasks that needed to implemented in the calendar system. The other three major systems are the group system for inviting and accepting invitations to groups (needs to be written from scratch), the forum component which needs to be rewritten for reddit style threading (found this not too long ago: https://gist.github.com/bokwoon95/4fd34a78e72b2935e78ec0f40e7e49e1), and lastly the assessment component, which will not yet be documented here in detail.

Seems like this project might be put on pause while looking for bigger fish. In the mean time put up a source-available-style repository here: https://codeberg.org/jung/fasti Only update that have made since the previous message was to make the agenda class immutable with a builder subclass handling all the construction state. (this can be seen here: https://codeberg.org/jung/fasti/src/branch/main/fasti/agenda.py#L43). Might make a new thread soon with a new project or otherwise with a project ideas thread; have a few (typically) very large projects in mind in fact together they make up the bulk of a userland, but not sure which to pick, or if another idea might suite me better. Bumping since slid, even though it's likely the final post of the thread.

They just drive that shit over the border man

>>27271
sometimes they just walk through the border and give a cut to border patrol

They say because of neuralink and other avenues of science, it is possible to implant people with nanotechnology capable of reading their inner monologue. If you use spyware like steam or microsoft windows 8/10/11, they can also see your files and search history.

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.

>>27488
theirs like 150 posts, this isn't exactly helpful for looking for nazi profiles of stuff.

>>27490
you could snitch to the brazilian gov about him using hate speech
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

Im trying to limit my online presence in normalfaggot websites. A lot of the things you mention Ive done my whole life, like the torrents and physical media bit (and for the little streaming Ive done, I ripped a lot of things), and this naturally leads to the next point - games offline. Media in general, really.

>limit yourself over my vague morals over technology
Lol. Using cheap shit is not a choice to most people.

>>27467
Let's not deceive ourselves. Most posters on this board aren't third world proles who got a ShengFui69+B through their call plan. They do have the choice to pay for a cheap mp3 player, a proper laptop and a landline plan instead of the newest iphone.

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

>>27298
>Why doesn't tech have a dedicated AI thread
This sounds like a great idea.

Do you remember what period of time when people kept trying to get an LLM to say something racist and then point to it as if they proved racism was scientifically correct. lol.

>>27218
internet fucking sucks now, ai porn everywhere man, no respect for the art of good smut

4chan is filled with threads with those AI undressing photos using girls facebook photos. It sucks. BRB, wearing a fake finger and committing crimes and then claiming the CCTV footage was AI generated because I have too many fingers. Crimes I have to commit because AI is going to take my job.

When you start a new programming language, look up on google images some pictures of the source code, so you have an idea of what coding in it looks like

>>18673
>le wrong generation
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.

>>20799
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.

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.
