Uhm... No.

It depends on you doing additive or subtractive colour mixing.

Additive mixing (e.g. light, in the form of colour LEDs or similar colour sources) must utilise RGB, due to how physics works.

Subtractive mixing (such as, printing, painting, etc.) on the other hand is better off with CMY+K for higher precision, again, for physics reasons.

Very, very few TTRPG sessions have artists creating art for each of them. Mine certainly didn't before I could run genAI models locally. At most I'd grab generic, CC-licenced ambiance art, or, if the group had an artistic veined person, they'd help out with some character sheet art and such.

AI took no jobs here. And as I said, if the art is for something you profit off of, you should use an actual artist.

Fucking Windows and its filesystem fuckeries...

Or where hiring an actual real artists - for example if you were to need dozens of graphics for, say, a TTRPG you're running.

On the other hand, if you're e.g. writing your own TTRPG, and getting it published, you ought to use a real artist.

IMO the best way to determine if AI is okay to use or not, is by the purpose - is it a personal project, something you won't profit off? Then sure. Is it something you're going to profit off of? Then use a real artist and include them in the profits.

They banned all AI regulations unless it affects MAGA detrimentally

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 1 points 4 weeks ago

Help me? So far you did none of that, but instead went on to prove just how little you know about AI and its practical implementations.

And if you consider spreading misinformation based on partial or complete lack of understanding of a specific topic as "help"... Then all I have to say is that the world is better off without your advice.

You've got no idea what you're talking about so sit this one out.

If you train a model for DETECTING nudity/sexual content, and add it to the pipeline without potential user override (so no "ignore all previous commands BS"), then the generative model doesn't need to know anything about that kind of content.

But you'd still need to train that detection model.

Inverse square doesn't directly apply to lasers though, as the law presumes an even dispersal of energy per distance unit - but lasers, as the name suggests, are designed to not disperse even at large distances (which is why it's super dangerous to shine powerful lasers up into the sky, the brightness remains quite even, even at large distances, easily blinding pilots), and the distances we're talking about - presumably human-guided lasers so at most around 500-700m - the energy dispersion would be so low that a 5W laser would register around 4.9W when it hits the camera.

Technically you could catch up.

Say, first month you spend all that money on stuff you've ever wanted. New car, new flat/house (mortgage will be super easy with $300k a month guaranteed income), etc.

Second month, you already have everything you immediately needed, and money left over, so you put all your daily income into investment accounts.

That is $3.3mil by the end of the year, not including interest - which would be around $69k (nice) given the much higher interest rates you get for high value accounts.

Mind you at this point the banks you use also change from regular high street names to banks catering for the actually rich. At a 3mil increase in net worth in a single year, you are now member of this club. You get a personal account handler, and much like the casinos in Vegas, the bank will keep throwing free shit your way just to keep you on as a customer.

That 69k interest is now spent on your mortgage and daily expenditure, so at the end of the year your account does stand at 3.3mil.

Another year goes by, and your interest increases by FIVE TIMES, to $320k, and your account now holds just shy of 7 million.

Let's say you get on with the rich life and spend a million, for a new, fancy flat, and a supercar, and some new clothes. Still, you're at 6 million.

Year 3? Your base is up to 10 million, plus 760k interest!

Year 5? Interest at 2.4mil, base at 18mil.

Year 10? Total interest at 10 million, base at 36 million.

Year 14? At this point, the interest you earn in a year is actually more than what you contribute, just a smidge over 3.4mil.

Year 20? 122 mil in your account, 72 of that you contributed, 50 is interest.

Year 30, and you're hitting 250mil, with "only" 108mil of that being your contribution.

Year 40? almost at half a billion!

Year 50 and you're reaching 750mil.

Year 55? You hit the billionaire landmark, with $1.008bn in your account.

Year 60? 1.3bn.

And mind you this is with a fixed interest rate account of 5%. In reality your investment vehicles would be anywhere between 20 to 40-50% a year, which could put you on the billionaire list in as little as ~15 years.

Reality is, the moment one can break out of the paycheck-to-paycheck living, and start saving up, without the hindrance of a sudden emergency spending, it's not that hard to get enough money to consider yourself rich. Problem is, breakin out of that cycle is being made extremely hard by those who've realised this loophole and don't want mere peasants like us in their fancy circles.

It most likely is.

Not ALL bots are Reddit-made. Sure, many are, but there's a growing interest by many states to increase their influence of social media.

Tons of Russian/Chinese bots pushing the tankie agenda for example, tons of bots pushing right-wing psy-ops and lies, lots of companies trying to push their own angles as well... and given the number of people who've left Reddit since, and who've been kicked off the platform, I'd say a majority ARE bots.

When you say experience, do you mean the general UX (i.e. how the apps/sites work), or the communities (or lack thereof)?

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 2 points 4 weeks ago

Blueksy is not comparable to Reddit though... not in structure, approach, or (initial) ideology.
