It’s our 5 year anniversary!! 🎉💍
Time flies so fast 🥹
We love being a part of this community, which is actually the place we met! 💚🫶
Here’s to many more years and many more adventures together!!! 🌟🏕️
@haorururu@KiriBuilds I understand that it’s just fun to you, and I’m not here to tell you to not have fun, but I am here to tell you that you need to understand the consequences of your fun and be willing to openly disclose that your images are AI-generated on every post. Otherwise you ARE lying.
@haorururu@KiriBuilds You’re clogging search results with subpar images that don’t accurately represent the character, which contributes to making the work of hard-working artists that AI relies on more difficult to find, as well as clogging servers & contributing to e-waste and environmental impact.
@MichaelG_3D@JackedBasedMgr “Better” quality 3600mhz ddr4 was up 300% a bit over a month ago, and it’s even worse now. In fact as of back then, the price skyrocketed and then it went out of stock - and has not come back in stock.
Which sucks, because I need that specific kit to upgrade to 64gb for work.
@MinerMobiel20@24edwetrf @VBeyond8 @ShiinaBR I can only hope. With the amount of crimes and fake political videos using genAI that have been increasing lately, it may end up happening
@MinerMobiel20@24edwetrf @VBeyond8 @ShiinaBR We can stop training new generative models. Eventually people will get bored with the current ones, because they already suck as it is and are degrading themselves. That’s why many have a really yellow look to them.
@MinerMobiel20@24edwetrf @VBeyond8 @ShiinaBR Generative AI? Yes, it does not need to exist. Now in terms of learning models that are *actually proving to be helpful*, that’s another discussion, but we need to put a halt on things & figure out how to solve the problems now rather than later. There needs to be regulations.
@MinerMobiel20@24edwetrf @VBeyond8 @ShiinaBR Take, for example, the xAI server farm that Elon built in Memphis recently. People have ALREADY been dealing with health issues due to the air pollution it’s putting out - and that’s only getting worse as demand grows.
That’s not a standalone incident. It’s happening everywhere.
@MinerMobiel20@24edwetrf @VBeyond8 @ShiinaBR As demand increases, so does the energy use, and thus, so does pollution, deforestation & mining, and use of scarce fresh water sources to cool the server rooms.
This isn’t some silly thing that we just need to “let people have their fun with”. That’s shallow-minded and selfish.
@MinerMobiel20@24edwetrf @VBeyond8 @ShiinaBR That’s not true in the slightest. Half of these are a direct impact of AI. And the use of generative AI makes said problems even worse due to expanding demand.
@MinerMobiel20@CaptainGoolawsh @VBeyond8 @ShiinaBR That’s the most asinine echo chamber excuse ever lol
Generative AI serves no purpose to benefit humanity, unlike things such as the automobile. Human expression does not need to be replaced.
Do you want all your content to be generated and without substance going forward?
@MinerMobiel20@24edwetrf @VBeyond8 @ShiinaBR You’re very checked out if you think that’s the only issue. You might wanna do some research.
To help you along, try these:
-Scams
-Environment
-Search clutter
-Bots
-Crime
-Data server clutter
-Mental health
-Work ethic
and that’s just barley scratching the surface
@VBeyond8 @ShiinaBR Assuming, because they’re not just gonna let us train our own characters and I highly doubt they’d allow just any island to use collab characters. The things people could make them say… 😅
