A fursona is a better investment, benefits include:

  • cute (even when you deny it)
  • everyone loves it
  • can be whatever you want, lots of choices
  • expression of your inner self
  • versatile
  • can't really be stolen
  • inner emotional support
  • increases in personal value as you grow with it
  • won't lie to you about making free capitalism coins™

Nice! That works way better than I expected!

It's definitely useful for exploring ideas, I recently used AI-generated images as reference for an artist and it helped me get my thoughts across. I can't wait to see the final result of it!

It's probably also good for adding illustration to text where someone otherwise wouldn't be able to afford it or spend the time, adding detail to your own art and so on.

The worrying thing to me is how fast it can create all sorts of images, and combined with LLMs and other tools even be automated. I could totally see entire feeds being populated by personalized AI art, stories, and music, let's not forget that's largely dictated by algorithms already if someone uses things like Spotify.

So one day it might get extremely difficult to tell if what you're looking at was even created by someone on their own, or if AI had any significant role in it. This would make it impossible for regular artists to compete under the current economic model, which to be fair needs to go, but it will still cause suffering in the meantime. Even beyond capitalism, people want share their work for others to appreciate, and if every channel of communication is flooded it's going to be pretty difficult to get noticed among the noise. If AI can create stunning images it might also depreciate art in the eyes of others, because to get to a very similar result using AI could take a lot less effort if the technology further improves, so they might see it as just a commodity or "pretty picture" and not think about artists at all.

Welcome!

That's really cool and totally in scope, feel free to share more!

Maybe bark.video?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think this video is gone?

But I've seen this video of display link working on a Poco F1, and you can clearly see the difference in smoothness. It's probably fine for some desktop use, but not for gaming.

Probably won't be great because the port is still USB 2.0, video takes a lot of bandwidth

Ayyy fellow sdm845 phone!

Such a shame you can't plug it into a monitor, it runs games like minecraft so well!

I guess you could make a lemmy community where only you can post and it would act as a kind of blog, but you still can't follow mastodon users. That's actually something I want to do with my own instance and a custom frontend, because it seems perfect for what I want!

Not sure if merging different accounts would really be possible like that, you could do authentication using mastodon accounts similar to how you can log in with google, but there's really no universal way of doing it over activitypub itself unless you want to send confirmation codes over it like we do over email heh.

It's possible to point a custom domain to your existing fedi account with webfinger (you actually only need to make a file in .well-known on a web server), but I don't think it's possible to do it with multiple accounts. It would actually be cool if you could point people to your domain and have different fedi software figure out which one is the most appropriate, or present a list.

Also that custom domain won't show up on the account itself, that's another opportunity to maybe make identify separable from instances, so someone could be less dependent on it sticking around, I think bsky attempts to do something like that, but it also has quite a lot of holes in it and I feel like activitypub is a better foundation overall.

That's what happened with musky husky, but it'd be very in character for spez to change the actual results to his liking lol

Really nice video on this, what are your thoughts? How can we turn it around?

 

Isn't it ironic? Even lemmy.ml is still chugging along slowly, meanwhile reddit fell on its face...

 

I'm looking to upgrade from a dying RX 590, and I'm eyeing the RX 6950 XT, which I can get for slightly less than 800 USD, I'm wondering if that'd be a good choice.

It's mostly for gaming, but I kinda want to run ML stuff and blender on the side, so I hope ROCm works well enough for that, I want to avoid NVIDIA because of Linux.

 

The creators of Lemmy are tankies and have some pretty despicable views, maybe we shouldn't advertise giving them money.

I like the software, it feels cozy outside some communities from lemmy.ml, and I hope someone forks it eventually, but for now removing the link should be easy to do.
