my own LLM that can be used on my own computer

May I ask how many B parameters does it have? Because the paradox over here is:

1. if it is weak then you will be getting much much worse results than even the Big Models the corpos have (we don’t even know how much tbh), let alone the quality of an actual artist.
2. If you have a respectfully powerful model then your PC might cost thousands of dollars (even by ignoring the price hikes) which eliminates the excuse to pay an actual artist.

I can’t afford to pay for artists

You can afford LLMs right now because all of the LLM companies are losing money on it. If they decide they want to make a profit, they will raise their prices significantly. So you still end up in the same situation. You don’t have much control on what an LLM spits out while with doing animation manually, you have total control or at-least sit with an actual animator to make it look how you envision it to be.

I plan on using AI to turn my writing into a visual animated format for people to consume.

What makes you think that people will respond the same way and in the same numbers to LLM generated animation than if it were crafted by an artist? I reckon that it will be much lower. I see it on youtube constantly. I watched a video about a topic, then I got recommended something related to it from a different channel. Guess what? The script and the animation were so damn similar and the shit they were spewing wasn’t even true in the end. Everything that both the channels made was slop. Sure they spit out more content than conventional methods and got a few thousand views each video and made decent money on it. But they aren’t gonna sustain for long if they want audience retention.

Since then I have been more mindful on what video I click on and going to the extent of disabling recommendations and watch history.

Yes the energy consumption is bad. My main gripe about LLM generated art is that it will not be original. It will use its training data from uncredited artworks to generate it. Art usually is made by humans to express something or convey something in a creative way. LLMs fail at that. What LLMs can actually be helpful at is making learning art more accessible to everyone. Art schools or private art classes can be expensive. This lowers the barrier to entry. As for you using generated Art is that the it might be really beautiful but it will be very difficult to maintain that style and even more difficult to convince that it is your style. The Artist doesn’t get much recognition with LLM generated art. Using it as a critique also seems stupid because LLMs will aways try to give an objective view on it than subjective. Your art won’t trigger an emotion in it and might say it is bad or “do this to make it more understandable” — that’s where you lose as an artist. My mom likes to paint as a hobby. What she does it searches stuff on Pinterest (which is mostly LLM Generated). She uses it as an inspiration to do it in her own style and maybe give it some spin. She keeps all of it for herself.

I am the c/fuck_ai person but at this point I have made peace we can't avoid it. I still don't want it to do artsy stuff (image gen, video gen) and to blindly use it in critical stuff because humans are the ones that should be doing it or have constant oversight. I think the team's logic is correct here, because there is no way to know if the code is from an LLM or a human unless something there screams LLM or the contributor explicitly mentions it. Mandating the latter seems like a reasonable move for now.

that’s not a joke lol. governments and businesses actually think like that. Whom are they gonna sue if, for example, CachyOS borks something? Since it being a community developed distro, it doesn’t provide dedicated 24x7 tech support or would quickly patch something because some business’s application stopped working on that distro.

Well they want “official” tech support from a company which they can hold accountable for any problems.

Topic aside: I want to play resident evil requiem. do i have to play previous games as well? I haven’t played any.

I have an idea. Linux should start automatically everytime you boot you PC.

Lol I used to think they scrapped the maps app entirely. Surprised it still exists. Who even uses it outside the US?

sushhh… the shareholders’ imaginary line has to go up.

Share it dude!!!

As in

Distros are for noobs. Real men just use the kernel.

Ig then maybe they have just accepted that everyone will jump the OS ship sooner or later, so they are just trying to lock people in their ecosystem? That’s why they make us create a Microsoft account on Windows, the sudden “We Love Linux” moto, making Cloud your dependency stuff.

now what?

As long as it is open source, it doesn’t matter. Forks like Librewolf will disable it.
