Oh man, I know I was a pain in the ass. Specifically with you Gak, we had some good times and bad. Those single party trips to Necropolis etc were fun before most people could get there and some things we did in Legion were great as well. You took me in after I was booted from CT and were mostly jus...

Give it a few years and you'll be able to make your own games using AI, just like you can make your own images today, short videos and songs today, longer videos and songs soon. You need to have vision when it comes to tech. I wouldn't be too worried about subscriptions since that will die out soon ...

Subscriptions seem to be the way things work theses days. Music = sub Movies/TV = Sub Games = Sub I pirate everything I possibly can, even things I have subs to to avoid commercials etc I sub to Amazon Prime which is a rip for me since I only use the shipping and download prime shows even though I c...

Israel is committing genocide, ethnic cleaning and collective punishment. Only in a world this shitty could anyone consider that to be going a little too hard.

So Nvidia just picked up Pixart (Chinese) which was the most promising replacement for Stability AI. There's some hope that Nvidia will release open source models since they sell hardware and Nvidia cards need GPU intensive things for them to sell a lot of them. If you take away the open source stuf...

Then again I imagine King, and all the mobile shit, will be the bigger money maker for MS. Either way the next year should be interesting in seeing what MS does with the Xbox gaming division.

Not a lot of thoughts from me other than... A) I don't think Hamas thought Israel would go so hard in retaliation. As the kids say.. Fuck around and find out.

I fell off on this pretty hard. It's too hard to keep up at this time. SDXL.. Turbo.. Lightning.. Pony.. wtf is Pony? I update the stuff I have every couple months but that's pretty much been it.

So bad new for SD3. Besides creating text in images, it's a horrible model. It's extremely difficult to create a human (or actually any animal) doing anything other than standing in a generic pose. On top of that, the fine tuners are saying it's really difficult model to fine tune and probably not w...

It's really hard to say what Microsoft is thinking. They make a ton of money and even with these huge gaming purchases it seems like a sideshow for them. Microsoft owns half of OpenAI (49%).

Just a short note, I love my RTX 4090. Zero buyers remorse. So glad I decided to get it even over retail cost.
