You don’t have to use AI to generate everything. You could have it only replace certain aspects of your workflow. Ex: You could use a tool which looks at the 3d model you created/bought and then have it create a texture based on your prompt: https://github.com/FrederikHasecke/diffused-texture-addon

As others have mentioned, a consistent style will be an issue with AI generated… Anything.

There are ways to fix this. Either fine-tune your own model or create a Lora that will force the result to be consistent. You would need to learn how to do this by feeding it your own drawing style.

Copyright will always be an issue, it’s on you to make sure that any result from the model does not infringe on anything (ex: asking it to make you an image/model that looks like Pikachu is certain to draw the attention of Nintendo’s lawyers).

From what I understand, an art “style” can not be copyrighted, but definitely do some research on what could still happen. For instance, look at how Nintendo has reacted to Palworld, they can’t sue them for using a similar style, but (in Japan at least) they can go after them for using specific game mechanics such as “throwing a ball object to have a creature appear where it is thrown”.

Unfortunately I can think of one company in particular that uses tinyurl when you sign up for shipping updates on their website (looking at you Samsung!).

At least with that one:

• you know you signed up for it
• they send a text right when you sign up for it
• they use an official short SMS (5 digit) number.

Personally, I downvoted this because it’s a community for technology related news and I just don’t think it fits the kind of content that we should be seeing here.

I’m really confused by your comment and it seems like you’re assuming everyone knows what you’re talking about already. Could you provide some context?

What about “Free” are they getting wrong? (I’m assuming you’re talking about Mozilla here?).

What Amazon reviews thing? Who was this “shady dude”, what did he do that was so “shady”, and how does that relate to Some Amazon review thing if you’re not even sure that he was behind it to begin with?

What does “Aled it up” mean?

Apparently they weren’t always a gambling site in the way that you see today, they switched over to this sometime in the last 2 years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBUkajbg688&t=119s

They do write that, but it also says that your money is deposited in an FDIC insured account.

And, according to the article, they even gave you a routing number and account from Evolve:

When I signed up, they gave me an Evolve routing and account number."

The mystery of where those funds are hasn’t been solved, despite six months of court-mediated efforts between the four banks involved. That’s mostly because the estate of Andreessen Horowitz-backed Synapse doesn’t have the money to hire an outside firm to perform a full reconciliation of its ledgers, according to Jelena McWilliams, the bankruptcy trustee.

So you’re telling me that a company which manages $42 billion worth of assets doesn’t have the money to hire a firm to track down where all of the money was transferred to? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andreessen_Horowitz

Man, the toys invented around that time are the best… But that’s probably all you’re really paying attention to at that point.

And for kids now? Well they have things like Skibidi Toilet to keep them occupied.

But for a more serious answer I think that’s when they’re in their most creative mindset and everything is new to them and they’re learning how things work.

Obviously the exact age at which someone starts to take an interest in tech is going to be different from person to person. For me, I was a fan of reading popular science magazines at a younger age as well as manuals on all of the different setting/functions/features of operating systems…

To quote one of my favorite authors:

“I’ve come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”

Ackshully… It should be: “AaaS”.

Cooking from scratch is excellent… But there’s also an extreme for how far you consider “cooking from scratch” to actually be “from scratch”… For Example: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C76cACZB0oq/

Do you milk the cows yourself? Churn the butter? Etc.

For me, the article makes it seem like there’s some new announcement that the FBI has put out about a newly discovered vulnerability. Turns out, the announcement is about vulnerabilities we’ve known about for a long time.

Kitboga has used AI (STT, LLMs, and TTS) to waste the time of Scammers.

There are AI tools being used to develop new cures which will benefit everyone.

There are AI tools being used to help discover new planets.

I use DLSS for gaming.

I run a lot of my own local AI models for various reasons. Whisper - for Audio Transcriptions/Translations.

Different Diffusion Models (SD or Flux) - for some quick visuals to recap a D&D session.

Tesseract OCR - to scan an image and extract any text that it can find (makes it easy to pull out text from any image and make it searchable).

Local LLMs (Llama, Mixtral) for brainstorming ideas, reformatting text, etc. It’s great for getting started with certain subjects/topics, as long as I verify everything that it says.

For fun I’ll probably setup GLaDOS like what was done here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1csnexs/local_glados_now_running_on_windows_11_rtx_2060/

Edit: It’s hard to pick a picture that captures the experience (so I picked a few). A video is better, but actually being there in-game is a whole other level. Everything from the bars, food court, living spaces, shipyard and space port add to the experience.

I understand, that definitely makes sense then.

This isn’t an article about mistranslations.

This is an article focusing on how asking about US election questions in Spanish will give you answers that are for the wrong country, or just wrong in most cases when compared to asking the same question in English.

One example is that, if someone in Puerto Rico were to ask ChatGPT 4/Claude/Gemini/Llama/Mixtral a US Election question, it would respond with information for Venezuela/Mexico/Spain instead.

If a post is deleted for any reason it nukes everything, even the comments.

I can’t go back and view any comments that I was replying to or that I had saved, I can only see my own comment.

Same, I’d say it’s way better than most other transcription tools I’ve used, but it does need to be monitored to catch when it starts going off the rails.

Whisper isn’t a large language model.

It’s a speech to text (STT) model.
