Not sure if YouTube links are allowed here, but if you just search for automatic 1111 install tutorials, Sebastian Kamph’s channel is excellent and pretty much everything you’ll need to know is on there!
Keep an eye for his updated videos though, as you can imagine the tech moves so quickly that some of his more popular videos have been remade and updated!
Hahaha, I hadn’t considered it that way. Touché.
Short form content platforms aren’t going anywhere, Instagram Reels and YouTube shorts are just a carbon copy of tiktok. No problems with them, of course, because they’re American.
I’m still unsure why anyone would pay for AI image generation purely because of the trial and error it takes. I get that not everyone has a GPU that can do it, but I use stable diffusion through automatic 1111 and I’ll likely be about 2-300 generations of text to image, image to image, some inpainting and editing, then some more image to image and upscaling before I get a representation of what’s in my head down.
I love the process of it all, but paying for tokens would completely limit me. Is there a specific reason that people use paid models? Or is it just because a lot of people are limited by their gpu?
Currently in Tokyo from UK, paid for an Airalo esim before I arrived, and I was pretty impressed with how cheap and easy it’s been- and that’s with 20gbs data, which I’ve barely used.
My service provider O2 would have charged me £7 a day with their O2 travel bolt-on, but would have still been my usual contract of unlimited calls, texts and data, just that the data would have been throttled a fair bit. This is a lot more reasonable than it used to be, but still would have amounted in a large bill compared to the one off $18 esim.
I mean, they already have Easter, and then basically the whole month of December. It’s not anyone else’s fault that it got turned into a consumerism and capitalist mega payday.
Yep, had it the wrong way around! Oops, was typing while walking.
The bizarre thing about Rowling is her hatred for trans people only extends to MtF trans people. She has no problem with FtM.
*Apologies, I did have these mixed up, I typed this while walking and only just read it back now.
You are, and that’s by design, as the core of your country from the education right down to the media and pop culture, all revolve around the financial system, designed to keep the wealth in the pockets of the few while everyone else argues over the same pointless and divisive issues that are pushed every single day. It happens in most countries, but the US is the best example due to how transparent it all is.
Capitalism has really done a number on these poor Americans, the right wing have managed to push the compass so far in their favour that even a lot of the most basic items in this list are considered “far left” to them.
One prime example of the extremes of propaganda within the US has to be the mass opposition towards unions (which has thankfully began to ease in recent years.) I could never comprehend why so many people would argue against having a union to protect their own rights as workers. it was bizarre to me.
No offence to any Americans that read this. But I’ve done my fair share of arguing for you over the years, and some of the opposition I have come up against is just completely bewildering. Almost like some sort of capitalist Stockholm syndrome.
So many amazing characters throughout the series.
Some examples I’d say:
Stetzer, Edgar & Sabin, even edgelord Shadow has a fantastic backstory. VI had such a large cast with such unique stories all round, I only wish a few were fleshed out a little more, Locke felt a little bland in comparison, but that could simply be translation not giving him as much of a personality, or maybe I’ve played it too many times.
Vivi in IX will always have a really touching story, the whole concept of trying to understand the world and his own existence from a very naive perspective. The fact that they still managed to portray that with wisdom and grace within that naive framework was just pure poetry, imo, and very much a staple of Japanese cultural fable/storytelling.
Eh, your democrats in the US are Conservative to Europe. Your “left wing” is pretty much on par with our right wing.
Sure, those are good examples of negatives, but that is just the way of it. This happens all the time when new technology emerges. Just think about the audio industry, all of a sudden people could produce music from their spare bedrooms- jobs weren’t needed anymore. But the music industry is now far more saturated than ever as a result, as it is so much more accessible to people, without the need for specialist equipment and stacks of cash.
Not OP, But, Stephen Hawking could have kept his voice, as an example.There are probably lots of beneficial uses of this technology. Automatic TTS voice messages would be another 🤷♂️
Didn’t this exact scenario happen with Kim Jong Un playing golf in North Korea? (I mean, I know that’s their general shtick anyway, but still)
The man has dementia. Like, pretty far along, too. At this point, he’s just being used as a MAGA figurehead because they fed the beast of the US right wingers far too much that they backed themselves into a corner.
People can sue him into oblivion until his handlers finally accept he’s unfit, which they can’t do.
As a non-American, it’s fun to watch play out. I fully believe people will try to ‘weekend at bernies’ him into office if it comes to it.
Instagram Reels is the exact same model as tiktok, but that’s allowed to stay, because of murrica and freedom or something.
The only real concern with tiktok is the worry about data collection. But if they cared about that, then they’d pass laws on it. It’s only because it’s not a US company profiting from the data collection of their property. Sorry, I mean free citizens.
So they’ll be charging Grusch with perjury and lying to Congress then?
As a non-american, I have suspicions about this whole anti-tiktok agenda that seems to be going on. I was against tiktok at first, and think it’s awful for fuelling that addictive/dopamine social media system. But now that I have my interests firmly in it, i learn a lot about my hobbies from it nice and quickly. However, Instagram reels is the exact same model, is that up for banning too? The excuse of it being Chinese spyware over Meta’s own homegrown US spyware is another aspect, however all these companies already have our data anyway…
Tinfoil hat, but I think this is entirely about media control. Nations are beginning to realise that they can no longer control narratives if the population can just go and see all the other perspectives online- if they can apply critical thinking and parse through whats real or fake. But most of the awful things happening in Gaza right now have been pushed by insta, tiktok, twitter, etc. The panic that the narrative can no longer be controlled on global political events like this is exactly why country leaders and politicians would be concerned.
Oh, look, another old comedian jumps on the bigot bandwagon. It’s an incredibly transparent trend now for when they can’t write the same material that got them there in the first place, or when they are no longer working with the person that wrote their material for them.
Take a few shots at trans people, purely for publicity, then use that sudden boost from the circle jerking media to secure yourself a Netflix special, where you can talk about how you’ve been cancelled for an hour and a half for a big payout.
It’s just a marketing ploy for using peoples own outrage against them.
