  • Absolutely fair!

    Yes, we certainly can stop and not go into this any further.

    Thank you as well for being polite and civil!

    EDIT: One thing that we do have on db0 the instance is a kind of 'disengage' concept, more or less a kind of 'safe word' for just saying, hey, i dont wanna talk about this anymore, please stop, and i'll stop as well.

  • I mean I'm closer to 40 than 30, and expressing nonplussed as a kind of intentionally sarcastic 'comedy' just reads as either pain or smugness or annoyance.

    Maybe funny in small doses, but if its a regular staple of your 'comedy', its not very good comedy, it just conveys dissapointment.

    There's also a large difference between an intentional group photo where everyone is collectively doing a frown, performatively, and a one on one photo that is candid and ostensibly significantly based around the subject of the photo.

  • So ...

    Keol!

    (I do not speak Korean lol)

    So it seems that the standard grammar of Korean is Subject-Object-Verb, as opposed to English which is Subject-Verb-Object...

    But apparently, if you want to really emphasize the object, it is unusual, but you can place the object at the end.

    So... this is my machine assisted attempt at doing that, lol.

    I am probably making mistakes I am completely unaware of.

    If any Korean speakers stumble across this, your assistance would be appreciated!

    A crowdsourced distributed cluster of image generation workers and text generation workers for generating AI media.

    Free & Open Source

    Powered by volunteers running open source software on their own hardware. Start generating now!

    Community Driven

    Join the Haidra community by becoming a worker and share your GPU power.

    Distributed Power

    Harness the collective GPU power of volunteer workers for your generations.

    No Lock-in

    Use any compatible client or build your own with our open REST APIs.

    Yep, so its a bunch of volunteers, running their own local hardware, but also linking it together, to provide a kind of mutual usage network for generating images.

    And yep, db0 themself is pretty involved in this.

    EDIT: (As best as I can tell, I've not like, talked to them about it myself, or been involved in those comms.)

    ... but you can't singly host a distributed network.

    You can participate in it, architect it, but... the whole concept is that it is distributed, localized.

    You know, like Lemmy, as opposed to Reddit or BlueSky, which are centralized.


    So... this is what I met by more nuanced stances on LLMs/Neuralnet image generation.

    More or less, this is like the rules that govern something like a private torrent tracker and network, but applied to GenAI.

    So its an alternative way of providing distributed GenAI capabilities to those who contribute to other people also being able to have those capabilities.

    As opposed to the essentially totally black box governance model of a random person getting an API token for a corporate AI network, that has massive negative externalities in that those are run on giant server farms that do things like massively run up local/regional power and water usage/costs, where you can safely presume the corpo networks are entirely harvesting all the data you send in to them.


    You can be I guess 100% against the entire concept of GenAI, but see my previous point of it's Pandora's Box, you can't uninvent it, its not going to go away because you don't like it and think its bad.

    ... and to be clear, there are a plethora of valid reasons to be critical of it, legitimate problems.

    But, a more practical and effectice way to address those things is to attempt to provide an alternate, more equitable, more transparent paradigm for its use.

  • I wouldn't.

    Look at his face, he's beleaguered and miserable.

    Sure, I guess he could be an uncommonly good actor, but I'd say the odds of that are less than 50 50.

    Dude looks to be nearly 40, and he's got the retail/customer service ptsd thousand yard empty stare.

  • Which is the line they had to actually censor in the radio and music video, because this was 2003 and everyone was still in post 9/11 - pre Iraq 2 "and I'm proud to be an American/freedom fries" style insanity.

    The FCC can suck on my cock and choke on my balls.

  • Just doing my best to make Gaybraham Lincoln proud, lol.

  • ... Wouldn't there be enough electrical power in this that you might wanna cover that in electrical tape?

    I've not jerry rigged an amp before, but I did once build a ramshackle 'home media pc' for some roommates once, out of old spare pc parts i had lying around, using the box their xbox360 came in as a 'case'.

    Got a paperclip with some rubberized covering, snipped a bit off the two ends, and then you had to short the right two pins on the ... whatever the socket is that would normally go to the front io panel is, you had to do that to turn it on lol.

  • I did karate for over a decade, and in training bouts, kumite, its co-ed.

    Sex doesn't matter, skill does.

    You get matched up against anyone roughly about as skilled as you are, or as your rank indicates you should be.

    The women I fought and trained with would tell me that being... something like knee'd in the groin, taking a strong front kick to lower abdomen, or getting punched of kicked pretty hard in the breast...

    Yeah, it hurts more than a lot of other places you can take a blow.

    Makes sense, there tend to be a higher concentrstion of nerve endings either at the surface of the skin, or not too deep under.

    Same concept with like, a blow to the inside of the armpit.

    It doesn't seem to be anywhere near as bad as a guy getting kneed in the groin and just actually getting his balls crushed, but it isn't nothing.

    Also:

    Generally speaking, groin hits are extremely discouraged, but accidents happen from time to time, followed by a hell of a lot of sensei screaming at whoever was responsible for it.

  • "The best engine in the world is the vagina. It can be started with one finger. It is self-lubricating. It takes any size piston. And it changes its own oil every four weeks. It is only a pity that the management system is so fucking temperamental."

    I'm fairly sure this has no real actual attribution to an actual person, but it seems to have been going around the internet since the 90s.

    It could itself be due for perhaps a checkup, some maintenance, seems to be showing obvious signs of sexism with age.

    Maybe change the last line to something about it being particularly finnicky about FOD?

    A PH / internal regulation imbalanced vagina is typically not a very happy vagina.

  • That is a fucking insane concentration for a suppository.

    My weed smoking days are basically over, but uh, I think that that amount would actually make me high for more than an entire day straight, like, probably 2 to 3 days.

  • You're right, my bad.

    Blink and you'll miss it, but for about at a single second, there's a shot at around 1:03 ...

    ... one of the goddamned daytraders taking a break to watch a free live performance?

    He's got a Trump For President sign.

    Yeah.

    For about 4 months in 99 and 2000, Trump actually did try to run for President, as the candidate of the Reform Party.

    Apparently it was Jesse Ventura that convinced him, and Trump stated that Oprah Winfrey would be his ideal VP running mate.

    Oh hey would you look at that, Roger Stone was his campaign manager back then too!

  • The only line that I can even think of that is roughly equivalently fucked up is Marla Singer's line in Fight Club:

    I haven't been fucked like that since grade school.

    ... but that's a goddamned movie.
