You seem to be ignoring some stuff specific to llms, but anyway I’m curious; which graphical llm is not based in other people’s work?

Perhaps stolen was a strong term, but they are all based on other people’s work right? When I used it I could clearly see the styles of some artists it was trained on.

I’m curious about that but even if it’s magically original to me that’s is still only useful to look at someone else’s work, even if is a computer work. It’s not a tool in itself I can master and improve my work.

Like fluid simulation for instance. You can light and render it well, but you can’t fully control it, because you’re not the one making it. When I need a very specific splash for a render I need to manually model it. And then llm is even worse because it controls the whole thing by itself.

The massive issue is your first paragraph. The rest makes sense.

You should have found a different comparison. Photoshop, at least before they added Ai, was a tool that required competence and learning to use. You became better using and failing at it over time.

Llm as a bank of stolen work from great artists has its uses, like for initial concepts, which before I would do with Google images, looking at other people’s works. And like that, it just requires that I know what I’m looking for, not that I have any competence nor did it teach me anything other than learning what other people do.

The radicalism is bad but it’s inevitable since most people are trying to sell it as something that it is not.

Specially the employers. They don’t care if I’m getting better or learning anything, but that I’m outputting something faster and costing them less. It works for them, but it’s causing a great damage.

I put crDroid on my pixel 5 and I’m never looking back at graphene again.

But I would have replaced it even if it was still supported. Too apple " we know what’s good for you and you don’t " for me.

It may be a generation thing. For quite a while YouTube was about content, not presentation. You usually watched the video about something and that was all the video showed, specially because monetisation wasn’t so common. Even garbage was mostly just the garbage itself (and there was lots of it, but different than now). It was a treasure chest, full of content people uploaded just because they wanted other people to see.

I guess this guy is OK for the current "standards*, but that’s a very, very low bar now. I’m not criticising him in particular, but YouTube in general. It’s always a shock to me when I get exposed to it, which is luckily rare.

Sorry I made your life worse, because you’re probably not going to escape them. They probably own whatever other website you’re thinking of using too.

It’s a good option for those wanting to use YouTube. In my case, I just avoid it where I can. I’m not going to fight against a content creator. If he wants to make videos for algorithm garbage it’s because he doesn’t respect audience like me. He doesn’t have to make what I like, I don’t have to watch it. It’s just annoying that from time to time I fall prey to a video trough Lemmy.

I use newpipe by the way. YouTube itself is blocked on my browser. But I use it too rarely to bother with more blockers.

Is that a thing now?

Either way that just makes a shitshow even worse. The only hope of the internet is smaller areas like Lemmy. And even that is being destroyed. The amount of ai slop I see on the front page is increasing, and it’s not their fault. They took the content from a cesspool like Facebook and didn’t realise what it was. Even I saw many things and I didn’t realise it was a fake. And when I do, it make me want to use the internet less.

Maybe it’s the whole internet doomed.

This.

I used to make Blender videos back in the day. I loved when people liked what I did or wanted to learn. Charging money for it would destroy the magic and make it a job and eventually I would make garbage like this to maximise the profit.

I deleted my YouTube account when I realised what it was becoming. I had no idea it would actually get much, much, much worse than I could ever imagine.

On the other hand, I’d pay extra to not give those cunts and their israeli buddies a cent. But it’s almost impossible now. I call the hotel and they say “make a booking through booking.com (or one of its thousands of sites)”

Before I would hang up and look for another one, but I realise now that the cancer has taken total control.

Airbnb, Amazon, this shit… Only someone insane would refuse to bend to our benevolent overlords, and I am still insane, putting up a fight I already lost.

The subject is so interesting, but I forgot how cancerous and disgusting YouTube videos became. I rarely watch videos on it anymore.

The stupid doll stuff, the advertisers, the unnecessary fluff… Even the most interesting subjects become unwatchable. I would like to watch a video with just the comparisons, which are pretty cool.

Really slow. I wonder why.

Cool initiative though.

Thanks for the article. I have much more respect for China now.

Houses becoming more affordable? Imagine the poor investors crying! Oh the sadness! I sure am happy living in a country where parasites don’t have to ever worry about such an unspeakable suffering!

But honestly, everyone who buy houses for profit can go get fucked with a pineapple.

Looking at his comment history, he manage to be hated even in technical posts, plus everything else.

Apparently some people are really just naturally like that, no financial incentive required. I can’t understand why.

Or he’s really just a troll and doesn’t even believe what he says. He just enjoy the many posts that follow his comments.

Yeah, that’s what I said. For sequence editors you’re in trouble. Specially if you have to share files with others.

That’s why fuck adobe. Fuck them 100 million times. I hope all their ceos and shareholders and whatnot die a slow, painful death.

Same to microsoft, 3dsmax and others, but adobe is a personal pain.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck adobe.

In other news, try Krita and node based video editors that run natively in Linux.

But sequence based editors… Yeah, it’s tough. There is Kdenlive and Blender, but for serious jobs it make it difficult.

I would say adobe is the biggest stone on Linux shoes. The brainwashed with their office braking compatibility would be easily fixed just ditching microsoft, gamers just don’t want to switch to something that works. But adobe, with all their patents are a big issue. The moment a real alternative comes up they will sue.

I literally changed jobs to not have to deal with adobe.

But Krita is pretty good.

If it’s completely offline and the banking thing can be completely disabled it’s awesome.

I would love to know the softwares (and their dependencies) I use more so then I can decide how to donate myself. The dependencies being a big thing. Like on android I use syncthing fork, which would be nothing without syncthing. And there may be other essential stuff running on boot that I don’t know and should help.

He mentions on the video that you need to convert to tangent. You can do that baking a tangent normal map from the original pose with the object space map you made. As for painting tangent, that will be very hard trying to simulate flat surfaces painting on a tangent map in a round object. A better solution is to sculpt on the high poly mesh (use a flatten brush for instance) and then baking from the sculpted to the original mesh. Like a standard high poly sculpt to low poly bake. You’ll find many tutorials on both options.

On the resulting tangent map, you could also distort the image with brushes or filters and get it more painted like.

By the way you don’t need substance for anything he showed. Not sure why people use it since it’s a lot less capable. You can do all that in Blender.

You mean to use online LLM?

No. That’s what I don’t want. If it was a company I trusted I would, but good luck with that. Mozilla is not that company anymore, even if they had the resources to host their own.

But locally or in a server I trust? That would be awesome. AI is awesome, but not the people who runs it.

To complement the above reply, although you paid a lot for the car, you’re paying even more daily, giving many away to very nasty companies that will turn your investment against you to increase their profit. Your data will be sold and you’re donating money to billionaires.

Is that what you want? Are you happy to have ads on a windows install you already paid, for example?

Because that’s what you’re doing. If you got a massive discount on account of the daily extra profit you’ll give them I would understand. But if not, why be so charitable to people who don’t deserve it?

That would be awesome. Like a greasemonkey/advanced unlock for those of us who don’t know how to code. So many times I wanted to customise a website but I don’t know how or it’s not worth the effort.

But only of it was local, and specially on mobile, where I need the most, it will be impossible for years…
