Underrated comment

Everyone’s conspiring folks. What’s hard to measure, is who’s conspiring

I sort of agree, but I think it depends on effort.

Type one word in and try and sell the easiest generated image? Low value.

But typing the right combo to create assets to create something larger than the model is capable of? That’s more valuable.

Criticizing AI or artists that leverage AI is like criticizing an artist for using a printer instead of drawing by hand

Or saying someone’s digital work is inferior because they used a tool to help make their image…

On that note, when working on a large project, is an AI artist as pretentious as the artist in the comic because they got some help generating the project from an AI instead of another human? Or is someone’s work ethic less credible for Google searching instead of asking a person? Are works of art valuable because they’re entirely original and uninfluenced by anything else but the artist themself? Because with that metric no artists are valuable since nothing is entirely original anyways

Meanwhile: NixOS

Ollama (+ web-ui but ollama serve & && ollama run is all you need) then compare and contrast the various models

I’ve had luck with Mistral for example

I wanted to be a hacker as a kid, so I had some experience with Backtrack 5. A prof said if you wanted to be a cowboy coder, do everything in your terminal. That was good advice, I’ve learned a lot about OS’s from that

Your OS is basically a set of drivers that allow you to leverage your hardware, as well as a package manager for managing your software, and a system for managing services (like at startup or by some event trigger)

I’m an advanced user but NixOS has been an excellent OS, it’s like all the fun of tuning arch but with less elbow grease. I was a kde neon (ubuntu base + plasma display manager + KDE desktop environment) user before
